Breaking news just now getting reported. MTG has filed a motion to vacate and remove Mike Johnson as speaker. Happening once was historic, but twice? The GOP is going to have a tough road ahead if it cannot even work together.

Well, what has Mike Johnson done since assuming the position but cave to the Dems. They're about to pass the remaining six bills that consist of more Dem pork than what the bills were intended for so…. Yeah, he's not the answer. He loses even if another CR were to pass. .

Border be d*mned.

Would have been better off with McCarthy, but Gaetz and his merry band of kamikazes had to throw a temper tantrum.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

The last time they did this, they didn't have anyone ready to go to be the next speaker.

Now, they have even fewer options.

I swear some of them leap before they look. They are the proverbial dog who catches the car and then doesn't know what to do next. You don't drop the nuclear bomb if you haven't already planned and mapped out what happens next.

I'm 9 out of 10 on a conservative scale but can't stand these idiots (MTG) that think blowing up the party is the way to win. But hey, we nominated Trump again, the one R candidate who can lose to Biden.

Maybe we do need to just let the whole thing burn down and live with several more years under Marxist control before we're ready to come together as one party to get elected and advance a conservative agenda.

Precisely. The border is bleeding, it's not just a wedge issue but a winning issue WITH OVER 75% SUPPORT....IN AN ELECTION YEAR and the GOP leadership can't move the football an inch. Insult to injury they instead advanced the Dems position on some foreign border 5 thousand miles away.

**** like this only serves to push away potential voters. Dems are pushing open borders and child mutilation, while the GOP clowns are running a circus. Who are the sane voters supposed to vote for?

....is factually incorrect.

And Trump is wiping the floor with Biden in all the BG states. Not just head to head, but in the 6 way polls too.

Biden is massively hated by his base over Hamas/Israel and generally being an embarrassment. The party should have let RFKJ have a fair primary fight.

Trump will win 2024...with 300+ EVs.

Here's how this will probably play out.

Scenario 1: Not even Gaetz will go alon with this one and MTG gets her press conference and life goes on.

Scenario 2: MTG has the votes to remove Johnson. Dems cant get speaker Jeffries but but in order to save Johnson demand their ounce of flesh: Ukraine funding and Senate passed border bill get floor votes. Checkmate libs!

No he won't, and even if he does, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have a GOP congress.

House Republicans are so ridiculous.

Mike Johnson is my congressional representative, he's a great guy, very smart, very conservative and thinks like 90% of Texags posters and wants what we want.

Mike is working with only a 2 vote Republican margin in the House, a Democrat controled senate run by Schumer and a Democrat demented president in Biden. Add to that his own Republican Party has some real bomb throwers in it whose votes he must get to pass anything we all want. It's damn near an impossible job!

If we want to save America, we need to elect more republicans and fewer democrats. Maybe some of you would consider running.

America is run by crooks, buffoons, the evil and too few good men like Mike Johnson. We need more like Mike to save this country from catastrophe.

Head in the sand. Cool.

What good is a GOP congress when 400 votes are progressive liberals anyways?

His job will be to gut the bureaucracy, a la Vivek, and antagonize both parties with angry Attorney General.

I can understand her frustration in that the republican speaker passes a massive spending bill with less than half the republicans voting for it.

It's a bad bill, but the press did crucify Newt when he shut the government down so GOP runs scared.

But there ought to be a strategy involved before firing the guy you have.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over & over & expecting different results.

Yet, that's what so many of you want.

Pitiful.

Give Gaetz & Greene credit. They at least recognize
that what is being done isn't working.

slow suicide > unknown chaos is pretty much what you're advocating for.

I'll take as many hiccups that come with the unknown chaos (with the goal being conservative limited government) rather than the known slow suicide by enabling the uniparty GOPe types.

I don't think this is the way, but real conservatives have given up on the concept of "sit down, shut up and let the adults decide what to do" that the GOPe touts. If breaking the whole system is necessary to have the GOP really stand for principles, so be it. There are a lot of worse things than the House getting nothing done.

Now, I don't disagree with the overall point, but this never remotely slows what democrats are doing in Congress. They attack regardless, which is why we ratchet ever-leftward.

The republicans never accomplish anything in the majority or minority. There is always an excuse.

After the spending bill came out, she kind of has a point. We can't keep having our own leaders shove the same ****ty bills down our throats.

Who knows? The democrats are guided by the most extreme elements of their party and are taking us to full-blown marxism. They just carry on. Republicans truly are worthless.

Mike Johnson is a complete failure like just about everyone in Washington. You don't have to pass anything if it's garbage. Let the government shutdown. The country is significantly better when Washington does less. But he is too dumb to even do that.
