That’s why they room together…

Shows how far out of touch with the people they really are.

And once they get to all the way, they can keep fucking off!

He earns $224k part time job and $30k online teaching

4fuxake, minimum wage is $15,000 a year.

Nah, higher intelligence does not map to lifetime earnings that way. Intelligent "good learners" actually fare pretty poorly. There are several reasons for this, but the big two are: Gifted Child Syndrome, and that "high education" careers by and large do not pay well.

Can I get a hell yeah, amen or FATWO ya fascist little prick

Republican corruption, all for them, none for you.

Plus all the healthcare and dental you would ever need for free. Meanwhile they kill Medicare and Medicaid, and cut taxes for corporations and billionaires. They are also independently wealthy from corporate lobbyist donations. Best grift ever!

Johnson is one of the worst “speakers” ever. Dick bag has “no idea what’s going on”, and if he does, he doesn’t give a shit.

I would hope his constituents would replace him, but Louisiana...

Rent out your Louisiana mansion and tell your wife to come to DC. Wait, you don't want her there? Or she doesn't want to move there? What about your Christian marriage? You can put your kids in public school. Oh, that's right, you don't want them going to school with heathens. Shut up, Mike.

$40k/year at $7.25/hour would require 106 hour weeks.

He doesn’t care what we think

NH relies on fed minimum wage, and both "democratic" Senators Hassan and Shaheen think that's adequate Hassan even got a chamber of commerce award for rejecting the $15 wage profile in courage that one

$17,000 on SS. Before they take out Medicare and Prescription plans which brings me down to $12,000. Not including copayments. Try living in that Mike!

That $175k/year isn't even factoring in the bribe money and associated perks.

That doesn't even include that they have all expenses paid.

AND MIKE IS ALWAYS CLOSING THE HOUSE SO PAID FOR DOING NOTHING

Louisiana has no state minimum wage, so the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour applies to most employees. Tipped employees must be paid at least $2.13 per hour, but their total earnings must equal at least the federal minimum wage when tips are included.

Stop applying for the job! Simple enough…right?? He thinks we’re as DUMB as he looks!!!

Everyday people can SEE for themselves how LITTLE the RethugliCONS care about them, yet many KEEP VOTING their own SELF DESTRUCTION! For those people I say they DESERVE what they get because THEY voted for it! At some point you should get SMART enough to SEE RETHUGS do nothing but LIE, LIE, LIE!

📌

That is so much worse. They can definitely get another job with that kind of schedule Granted good luck keeping a job with that attendance record

Exactly. They’ll call $175k “not enough” while millions of people are surviving paycheck to paycheck on wages that barely cover rent, food, or healthcare. The disconnect is honestly insulting.

speaker penis is getting $ under the table Louisiana are you going to reelect this 4 eyed little weasel? Took food stamps and healthcare away

Especially when he represents the party that does nothing and shouldn’t be paid at all. Idiot.

💯

Just another of those moments where they ALMOST get it, and also where they believe that people they consider beneath them... do not. They are wrong. We see them growing rich, lying, killing people, not serving anyone but themselves (Not even Trump, they are rats on a sinking ship)

I would think this reprehensible attitude comes from having “fuck you” money and too many of those people are running things right now.

I would be thrilled to get $40k, or even $7.25 per hour. My income is about $800 per month. Seriously. Johnson and his fellow fascists are more disgusting than butt crack sweat.

🤔 Taxing the rich sounds nice.

Try surviving on. 40,000 a yr

He's an insufferable, arrogant little piss ant.

We’re not angry enough about this.

Snowflake MAGA

I have no idea how they expect anyone to live on 7.25 an hour. That makes no sense. But I've been to Iowa and grew up in Utah, so I've learned to accept it. What racist pigs.

The Epstein class pedos are above the law and live in their own disgusting worlds

I want to see guillotines rolling out.

All………the……….way

So every single American deserves to die because a lot of us are ignorant. Got it. It's wild that you sit there with your access to healthcare and job protections and say stuff like that and think you're somehow morally superior. Seems kinda like something ignorant Americans might do

People forget that this is not a living wage. 3x this is still not a liv8ng wage.

Let’s go!

Proves how selfish and out of touch he is. He shouldn't be in office.

Free lodging gas food gym health care. What a POS

Congress gets $79 dollars a day for lunch...compared with a less than $10 a day for snap. Americans should be furious..but they're not.

I think you've misunderstood his definition of "SURVIVING". If he's talking about Republican Politicians, surviving means getting richer by the day. When talking about everyone else, survival has no meaning whatsoever...

ALL THE WAY OFF AND TWICE ON SUNDAY! 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

I second that “fuck Mike Johnson”

Fuck Mike Johnson for a lot of things. He has no clue what the job of Speaker of the House entails. It definitely isn't valet to the President.

Agree!

Exactly! And they get to keep any campaign funds that aren’t used during their campaigns! There are some restrictions on how those funds can be used.

Dang! And they’re whining that they need their insider trading to make ends meet! What a load of 💩!

3/4 Senators do not receive a standard per diem or cost-of-living reimbursement for a second residence in D.C.. They are, however, provided with an allowance (Senators' Official Personnel and Office Expense Account)

🤭💯💯💯

They certainly have enough free time to be able to get a second job.

They also have the very best health care and retirement beni’s but the people that pay for all that shit can fuck off

American needs the 90 million formerly eligible but non-voting Americans to vote Democratic in 2026 and 2028 !

I’d venture to say if you did fuck mikey j it would by far be the worst of your life.

They should find a new "job" but then the perks are substantial.

Preach

How about 21k, foot up ____ ____! Poor thing

He, like other Republicans, are in in for the money .. not for the people

That's REPORTED income, right?

This

They get FREE healthcare for themselves and their families too.

😳 They guys who do nothing but kvetch, yet want a raise from $175,000 a year? Trump must not share his browser history with Mike Johnson. He’s not getting those insider trading deals. Snowflakes.

The idea behind large paychecks foe politicians is that it makes them less corruptable, which honestly, is a good argument. However, some more oversight with actual concequences is also required, as has been show often enough :-(

The members are exposed to so many of the superwealthy that w/in a short time in Congress they become convinced that a $175K/yr salary w/ platinum benefits (incl. trad'l pension after five [5] years) is living in poverty!! Most of them are so removed from ordinary life it's pathetic & grotesque..

So far in 2026 the House has only been in session 72 days and are in vacation again…the least productive session in 250 years…thanks Moses Johnson…

I want to know how he heard about this.

Those poor politicians. They may have to cut back on their caviar and champagne.

waaaaaah waaaaah waaaaah. all the insider trading couldn’t possibly sustain us!

It's doubly infuriating that they're continuallly not doing what their constituents want either.

AND THEN, there’s the insider trading they’re all cashing in on.

How is MAGA defending this. They can't hate black people and immigrants this bad.

I really like the way you think,madam !!! F&ck AND fillet, his ass….literally 🔪 !!!🤬

They become millionaires in their first years.

Good phrasing!

With their 'Allowances', it is $250K and not $175K. Mike Johnson is a Douchebag.

It takes money to make money; I think that's what Mike Johnson meant. He needs us to pay him more so he can grift cheat and steal at the level of the big boys.

People that have become magats were the biggest complainers about the amount of days teachers worked, at 1/5 the salary of that fool. They worked 135 days last year, and so far 62 in the first half of this year. Screw him!

The crazy thing is that a household income of $175K/yr today really only buys the equivalent of a comfortable middle class lifestyle in moderate cost of living areas. Whereas half of households today earn less than $84K and may never attain even a secure lifestyle, let alone comfortable.

Fuck that guy, dry.

That’s why they grift. Because they are soooooo underpaid.

How about the stipends, office, staff & all travel that they get & all the $ they say for work they spent & reimbursements they claim?. Remember Boebert's mileage expense? All the campaign donations & donor invitations, ff their salary, do they really personally spend?

He should try social security

It’s The Repukeatians though pattern, good for me none for you.

Absolutely!

Yeah greedy bastard

$7.25/hr is ~15k/yr at 40 hours a week (if you can get scheduled that many hours).

$7.25 an hour for a 40 hour week, 52 weeks a year is $15,080! That’s before taxes..,

They should try what they suggested.

Set congressional salaries on the median income

a person making $7.25/hr can work 52 no time off 40hr weeks or 2040hrs and make the grand sum of $14,790 and this would be accomplished by working at least 2 jobs as a person working a 40hr wk would have to get benefits and employers just won’t tolerate that scheme

I'd be okay with doubling their salaries in exchange for making Congress members and their families purchasing stock illegal, banning all lobbying after they leave, mandatory release of their tax returns, and a few other bit and bobs that ensures jail time and crippling fines for corruption.

I know and still in poverty, back taxes, wont get Medicare for 3 years & can't get Medicaid for maybe 2?

Nor Live off $13 per hour

they also get a coupe thousand dollars a month for expenses.

We have the same shit in the UK. What amazes me is how newshounds find folks on minimum wage who think politicians should get more.

The taxpayers reimburse them up to 30,000/year for lodging, food and expenses while they are in DC. They don't have to provide any receipts/proof if $ was spent on these specific things how much $ was spent and if $ was spent on the dates congress was in session. $ could be for a trip to a resort!

Absolutely

For real! He can eat a WHOLE ass bag of dicks!

How much do they pay their staffs?

💯💯💯🤬
