Not only is Mike Johnson out of his depth, he appears to be unaware that he's drowning.

His head is so far up his own ass, he thinks that breeze is fresh air.
Haha fart jokes :-D
Since there is essentially zero chance a shutdown is avoided, the question now is how long do we think the shutdown will last?
Follow up question: how long do we think Johnson will last?
“About thirty seconds. Yeah. I wish I didn’t know that either.”- his son probably
I feel so bad for that kid, but it ain't gonna stop me from laughing my ass off.
And, how long until an international sell off of US currency as the national credit rating takes multiple hits?
At which point, how long does the US last?
Petroleum creates demand for USD which absolves many of our sins. If OPEC starts demanding a different currency for oil payment, that will be a serious problem for the dollar. Right now, that arrangement puts a floor on the price of the dollar.
Starts? It has started. BRICS has seen the writing on the wall and lots of oil is now transacted in Non-USD currencies with the growth continuing.
Anyone got a head of lettuce handy to compare?
What is a “head of lettuce handy” and where can I get one? Are we talking about one that you can get in a car, or is this more of kind that you get at a commercial establishment?
Not sure if I'm not getting your joke or you're not getting mine, but just in case it's the latter (or for anyone else wondering about the lettuce) -

Tldr: a British tabloid live streamed a head of lettuce the entire time Liz Truss was PM to see which would last longer. Spoiler, it was the lettuce.
Handy as in handjob, brother
Yes. I infer that "handy" is an American slang word that isn't common in the UK, based on this interaction. I've got no skin in this game, just having fun.
Not British, just of the wrong gender to consider that type of dirty joke 😉
Ah, as I am a sister who generally does not talk about "handies", it very much flew over my head 😂
I say no more than 10ish Mooches.
This Mike Johnson guy continues to have the same level of self-awareness as the same Mike Johnson from Morty’s quarter-assed made up story in the Story Train episode of Rick and Morty.
Fucking traitors are setting up another January 6
I must be the White House!
