Trump and his allies are SUPPORTING the Democrat/RINO Speaker Johnson!

This is beyond frustrating.

The House GOP are going down and rightly so you'd think Donald Trump would want nothing to do with them.

Thoughts please, Freepers?

[Wayne07]

You and MTG are the morons here. Get in line and shut up.

[bert]

The gambit is delusional stupidity. The only reason is anti American self aggrandizement

[joesbucks]

Why are you frustrated? Trump is playing 38D chess. She doesn’t trust the plan. My guess is her constituents are pushing her. So what’s she to do? Get in line with Trump or carry out what her constituents want?

[Williams]

Duh.
Splash some cold water and come to your senses.

Why the Hell would anyone cause this problem with the election 6 months away and Trump leading?

And no Johnson is not a Democrat. Please.

All for MTG and one other or even three others?

The whole thing is preposterous. She’s an idiot.

[Psalm 73]

This is not the time for any added drama - this would be an un-forced error, like Christie Noem writing about shooting her dog. (That’s SOP on a farm, but most American voters have no idea - they’re thinking Michael Vick).

“we want to expand and grow the majority in the House”

Meaning he wants to expand and grow the numbers of RINO’s in the House. As far as Trump goes I think he’s just playing politics here or at least I hope so. There’s nothing “America First” about sending $100 billion to foreign countries.

[SunStar]

If Hakeen Jeffries becomes speaker and Donald Trump wins re-election, would his election be certified?

We tried replacing the RINO speaker, and just received a Kevin McCarthy clone as a result. And, the GOP only has a two-seat majority now, as a result of retirements and stupidly ejecting that loser Representative in New York and subsequently losing the seat.

At this point, maybe we should try and win the Presidency and build out a new, larger majority in the House. And then work on trimming the fat after that.

[Responsibility2nd]

Johnson, as bad as he is, is the only thing keeping a chance alive at the GOP winning 2024 elections.

[Trumpette1954]

You’re not helping when you call out Trump for saying something that makes sense. MTG does not have the votes!!!

Thomas Massie Asks Speaker Johnson to Resign – Massie Announces He’ll Support MTG Effort to Oust Johnson

April 17, 2024 | Sundance | 650 Comments

At a certain point after following politics closely, you move away from reacting to events and begin to focus on proactively predicting events.  You start to develop a mental tuning fork that finds the frequency of DC compromise.   In essence, you begin to assemble data and take notes on visible activity that indicates compromise.

Those notes then becomes predictive data and you keep it visible for later reference when trying to review motives and motivations for the DC schemes. Generally, if you keep close watch and take good notes, you will catch around 80% of the public datapoints that highlight the path of the political compromise.  Things that make other things make sense.

The origin of MTG’s dark motives and her individual compromise originates in the timeline of her marital breakup, sexual exploits with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and eventually divorce.  MTG, Lauren Boebert and Sean Hannity all have this origination timeline in common.  I’m not sure what originates the Deep State compromise with Massie yet, when that initial touch took place, but I do know it goes back much further in the timeline of his congressional tenure.

Thomas Massie now joins with MTG in calling for the removal of Speaker Mike Johnson.

Let there be absolutely no doubt, removing Johnson right now is giving the speaker gavel to Democrats.  This Machiavellian way to remove Donald Trump has always appeared to be the Deep State insurance policy.

When the U.S. Supreme Court reinstituted Donald Trump on the federal election ballots of the five leftist states who removed him, the high court noted that disqualifying a person from presidential office could only be done by congress, not by the individual states.

If the Democrats take control of the House, disqualifying Donald Trump from federal office will be the purpose of their first legislative act.  They already hold the Senate.   They will do this.  Thomas Massie knows this.

So, ask yourself, who exactly is controlling the action of Thomas Massie; remember, he’s the former endorser of Ron DeSantis on behalf of the Sea Island multinationals (banks).  Does the question answer itself?

Accept things as they are, not as you would prefer them to be.

When we *think* we have found the bottom of the corrupt and conniving state within the DC system… Pause, have a nice cup of coffee, then remind ourselves we’ll never find the bottom of this level of corruption; it’s ‘effen bottomless.

*AHEM*… Gnome’ sayin?

WASHINGTON DC – […] Massie’s decision was not well received during the meeting, according to several members in the room. And Republicans across the conference, including some members of the Freedom Caucus, quickly pushed back on the idea of booting Johnson, noting it would spark chaos without a clear successor — a repeat of the House’s nightmare in October.

[…] Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said after Tuesday’s conference meeting that he still thinks they can avoid a vote to terminate Johnson’s speakership. But one GOP lawmaker, granted anonymity to speak candidly, was less optimistic: “Folks are very discouraged. … We are screwed.”

The simmering rebellion isn’t a total surprise after Johnson on Monday evening announced his plans to send four separate bills to the floor — on aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, plus a fourth with other miscellaneous provisions. That sparked pushback from Greene and some other conservatives, who have long opposed attempts to send further cash to Ukraine. And that opposition to Johnson could grow as the week goes on.

His first major hurdle on that package will be getting it through the Rules Committee, where hardliners of his conference hold three GOP seats. But he’s expected to succeed there; while conservatives could block the bill if they unite with Democrats on the panel, Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) said on Tuesday that he will vote for the rule, which sets the parameters of the House’s floor debate, in committee.

But it gets tougher from there. To even bring the package up on the floor, Johnson will need a majority of the House. And given conservative opposition he’s almost certainly going to need Democratic support. Typically, the minority party does not help on so-called rule votes, but some have signaled they’d make an exception for Ukraine aid. (read more)

Johnson’s deeds are opposite his words. Deceptive individual on stopping the INVASION. The TAXATION without representation continues. $peaker John$on.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

MTG and Gaetz are guaranteed vote-getters in November....for the Democrats.

Dems who are suffering under Biden and would otherwise stay home can be motivated to come out just to quash these Republican bomb-throwers.

Watch how the Dem propaganda machine uses them come October.

[Flavious_Maximus]

It seems that Trump has agreed to a deal with the establishment RINO’s (cocaine Mitch McConnell) for the November election. He must realize that they cannot be trusted. Even now, they are plotting against him.

So it’s the backstabbing Johnson versus the homosexual cannibal Jeffries. It’s a tough call but the cannibal would still be worse. /spit

[volare737]

Let's see here. Republicans have control of the House, but I keep hearing they don't have the votes for ANYTHING!

That speaks volumes for how far left this country has gone.

[dware]

Trump will be my last vote. I won’t be voting for a single down ballot republican. Never again. Let it burn. That’s the only way we have any chance of righting the ship.

[rrrod]

One thought I heard...wait till the election is over.

[McGavin999]

Why on earth does she want to-

Take attention off the protests
Take attention off what is being done to Trump
Take Republican candidates away from trying to get reelected
Disrupt committee work on the Biden crime family
End up with weeks of chaos while a new speaker is trying to get elected

She should just stand on the top of the steps screaming ME ME ME I’M THE ONLY ONE WHO COUNTS

[bigbob]

People disagree on stuff. MTG is the only one standing for principle here, not politics.

[Bubba_Leroy]

IMHO we don't need another Speaker vote before the election. Johnson is the second Speaker in less than a year. It took 15 votes to elect McCarthy and four votes to elect Johnson. The last time that it took multiple votes to elect a Speaker was in the 1920s. It is making the Republicans look like idiots, plus they are running out of viable candidates.

Hold it over Johnson until after the election and then vote whether to replace him. If we manage to take back several democrat seats in the election, then wait until the new Congress is seated in January to vote in a new Speaker.

If Republicans manage to remove Johnson now it will only take three RINOs to join with the democrats and elect a RINO or a democrat as the next Speaker.

[pierrem15]

There are not enough conservatives in the House to change this and Republicans barely hold a majority.

You aren't considering the tidal wave of totalitarianism that would accompany a Dem speaker, including using the 14th Amendment to block Trump.

Meaningful opposition makes sense. Political suicide does not.
