Could this be what Speaker Johnson is really up to?

In a blistering X post, conservative firebrand Mike Cernovich leveled a bombshell accusation against House Speaker Mike Johnson: the Louisiana Republican is deliberately tanking his own party's midterm chances to pave the way for impeaching President Donald Trump. Cernovich's claim isn't some fringe conspiracy—it's rooted in Johnson's pattern of foot-dragging on popular reforms and Trump's agenda, moves that alienate the MAGA base and invite Democratic resurgence. If true, it's not just incompetence; it's sabotage, dressed up as "leadership."

Let's dissect the evidence. At the heart of Cernovich's outrage is Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's discharge petition, filed on December 2, 2025, to force a vote on banning congressional stock trading. Polls show 87% public support for this bipartisan ethics overhaul, co-sponsored by figures across the aisle. Yet Johnson, who once championed "draining the swamp," is reportedly plotting to shutter the House early, dodging the vote altogether. Why? Insiders whisper it's to shield vulnerable GOP members from divisions that could fracture party unity—or expose their own trading windfalls. This isn't prudence; it's protectionism for the elite. By killing a slam-dunk win, Johnson ensures voters see Republicans as out-of-touch insiders, eroding the slim House majority Trump handed them just 11 months ago.

This isn't isolated. Johnson's playbook reeks of calculated obstruction, each step weakening Trump's hand and priming the pump for impeachment chaos. Take recess appointments: Trump needs them to install loyalists like interim agency heads amid Senate gridlock. But Johnson and Senate Minority Leader John Thune have kept Congress grinding through the winter recess, explicitly to block these moves. It's a blatant power play—tying Trump's administration in procedural knots while Democrats cackle from the sidelines. Recess appointments aren't some loophole; they're a constitutional tool presidents use to bypass obstruction. By denying Trump this, Johnson isn't "maintaining order"; he's handcuffing the executive branch, echoing the McConnell-era stalls that fueled 2020's backlash.

Then there's the confirmation logjam. Trump's nominees—vetted patriots ready to slash bureaucracy and secure the border—languish in committees for months. Johnson controls the House calendar, yet bills advancing these picks gather dust. Why the delay? Critics point to Johnson's cozy ties to the establishment wing, whispering of leverage from deep-pocketed donors who fear Trump's disruptors. Meanwhile, FBI Director Christopher Wray, a Trump holdover accused of lying to Congress on everything from election interference to January 6, skates free. No contempt referral from Johnson, despite overwhelming evidence and Trump's direct calls for accountability. This inaction isn't oversight; it's complicity, letting a weaponized DOJ simmer as a impeachment sword over Trump's head.

Don't forget the filibuster farce. Trump has demanded its nuking to ram through America First priorities—mass deportations, tax cuts, energy dominance. Thune balks, and Johnson stays silent, refusing to whip House votes in solidarity. It's a gutless betrayal: the filibuster shields Democrats' judicial empire, but Johnson's reluctance signals he'd rather preserve the status quo than deliver for the 74 million who voted Trump. Low GOP morale is no accident; it's the fruit of this sabotage. Republicans are resigning in droves, town halls turn into revolts, and polls show midterm erosion. Johnson knows a weakened House invites impeachment theater—endless hearings, leaked "bombshells," and media circuses that could paralyze Trump's second term.

Cernovich nails it: Johnson's not clueless; he's complicit. This "MAGA Mike"—a nickname Trump bestowed in jest—has morphed into a stumbling block, prioritizing K Street whispers over kitchen-table fights. If he succeeds, 2026 becomes a bloodbath, handing Democrats the gavel to unleash hell on Trump. Republicans, wake up: primary these enablers, rally behind Luna's petition, and demand Johnson step aside. America's mandate isn't negotiable—it's a battle cry. Fail to heed it, and the sabotage wins.
