It’s been obvious for a while now that Marjorie Taylor Greene’s threat to take down Speaker Mike Johnson via a motion to vacate the chair — the same device that ejected MTG’s close friend Kevin McCarthy last fall — isn’t going to succeed. Only two House Republicans, notorious extremists Thomas Massie and Paul Gosar, have signed on to MTG’s draft motion to get rid of Johnson in retaliation for his repeated cooperation with Democrats on spending and foreign-aid measures. And a host of other House Freedom Caucus types are on record making it clear they aren’t interested in another bloodbath so close to the November elections, where the GOP’s tiny majority is at stake.

“notorious extremists Thomas Massie and Paul Gosar”
I guess Joe Bucks is fine with the Republicans joining the Democrats on all these issues.
spit
what a load of crap
it only takes
ONE
vote
to vacate the chair
more narrative control crapola
The current rules of the House allow for any single lawmaker — Democrat or Republican — to make a “motion to vacate the chair,” essentially a vote to oust the speaker through a privileged resolution
This time around, she doesn’t have much GOP support.
Some may consider this an unwanted series of Speed Bumps on the road to Election Day.
i misunderstood
one vote to make the motion
thethe rest probably will quisling like mikey johnson
It would be interesting If I knew who TF these people are what makes them think they’re experts.
Reminds me. I need to get MTG another donation.
And as I've been saying for a couple of weeks, MTG won't pull the trigger, given the one seat majority, the election fast approaching and Trump telling her to wait..
Might be theater but not Maga theater.
Trump’s not calling for it.
MTG is the Trump of the House.
Let’s just look at this strategically. If the goal is to put the brakes on Johnson doing much of anything before the election and wind up in Trump’s pocket, everything makes sense. MTG attacks, Trump rescues. It’s all somewhat moot legislatively but who ends up beholden to who is political. And there’s never a concern about MTG’s loyalty as she will be 100% MAGA regardless of how they treat her.
I’d say she is Paula Dean of the House, with 36% more stupid.
You are projecting what you are, only the figure is 63%, not 36%.
johnson has phooked the citizenry twice. time to go.
As previously stated, it’s all show. Not why folks change when they become elected but it’s like a disease.
The November elections are going to be the bloodbath.
