"It's just insanity" that there could be another push to oust a House speaker over a budget disagreement, and there will be trouble for the Republican Party if such actions keep occurring, former Rep. Pete King said on Newsmax Sunday about Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's motion to vacate filed Friday against House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Actually there has been NO DIFFERENCE in a speaker Mike Johnson or a speaker Hakeem Jeffries, give me an example of ANY difference!!!
can you tell us what the consequences are ?
“but they didn’t full fund everyone”
You are being sarcastic RIGHT???? You just have to be kidding??
If it continues to be like this……I don’t know how old you are BUT it has been like this for DECADES, I AM DONE, I love Trump but I am completely DONE with the Republican Party, I will also look for the libertarian candidates, after 50 years of being a battered wife by the Republican Party I will NEVER VOTE R again!! I will vote Trump but it will be libertarians down ticket!!
Over a thousand pages and I’ll bet none of them read all of it!
That one’s nominated for Comment of The Year!
It’s not a budget disagreement.
It’s an almost total abrogation of his oath of office and his responsibility to his constituents and the republican house members who made him Speaker.
Not to mention his dishonesty, rule breaking and working with democrats to pass a bill in spite of the wishes of the republican membership and his constituents.
Pushing omnibus bills through on short notice without allowing the required time for the members to review the bill and propose amendments is a standard democrat trick to push through policies that they know cannot stand on their own merit.
To have the republican Speaker conspire with democrats to push such a bill through is dishonest and a violation of the trust placed in him by constiuents and his fellow house republicans.
Who was a drunkard according to the deepstate conspiracy theory of the day. I think the evidence of history is that he wasn't, but did put on a show just to ridicule the tongue waggers.
Maybe, just maybe the leadership will shop steamrolling the base...naaaah!
Most likely, he was a high functioning alcoholic. I'm not judging. He was fighting the Civil War.
Something the Historians fail to understand.
He either acts like a real conservative, NO DEALS, or he like McCarthy has to go.
BINGO
Very well stated!
They now are just 1 vote away from the House equaling the Dem Senate.
Bryon Dinalds has the highest Freedom Caucus Score and was rejected.

What’s insanity is a republican controlled house passing a budget full of democrat pork

There are even more dire consequences for giving the corrupt what they want & need to destroy this nation.
Reagan closed down the government no less than 8 times & it did not affect his presidency at all. So, that kinds of destroys the narrative you are pushing. 🙁
In the case of Leftists and Liberals, two sets of people who demonstrate an inability to think for themselves (never mind to think critically for themselves) they don't have the same kind of subdivisions that we do.
We buy into the large premises first. This is the foundation we build our house (beliefs) upon.
If the foundation is strong, the house can (possibly) be strong.
So we accept the big premises first to build upon, using them as our foundation. These "big" premises that we buy into are:
Things like that.
Leftists and Liberals do not operate on the same principles, and most importantly, they do not have foundational principles save one:
That is what has made The Constitution such a remarkable document on which to base our Republic. The Constitution was designed to take into account the shifting, changing, malleable forms of human emotions and desires and put them into a well thought out framework so that it was harder to collectively take rash, stupid, or deliberately destructive actions.
But the Left has found that to deliberately bypass those safeguards to obtain objectives (such as attaining power) has no negative ramifications to doing so.
So, on the Left, if you buy into one of the small premises (lies) you are all in, morally speaking, on all of their lies. In for a penny, in for a pound.
It is the same dynamic that allows Leftists and Liberals to fully embrace someone like Ted Kennedy, who, while being responsible for the death of a young woman who worked for him, was fully into supporting abortion rights or Affirmative Action, all while ignoring the glaring inconsistencies. And people who clamor for Abortion or Affirmative Action must do so fully, or become a victim to the inevitable cognitive dissonance that becomes more destructive and disturbing the closer the person gets to maintaining a consistent principled foundation.
Therefore, the Left discourages that level of introspection on behalf of its adherents or acolytes, and beliefs are not built like a house with a foundation, but as a package that you buy all of or none of. There is little to no room for dissent, especially on issues that cannot survive a critical analysis.
Conservatives don't have that kind of dogmatic obedience to the smaller issues, but we often do to our larger foundational issues. In that fashion, we are, in some ways, more susceptible to dissension and division (as is easily seen here on Free Republic) but if our beliefs involving smaller issues are damaged or destroyed, our whole ideological house generally will not collapse.
That is not always true of the Left.
When one of their "smaller" issues is wiped out, they convince their disciples that the specific destroyed issue is not important (even if it was for any individual) and immediately try to indoctrinate them that some other issue is now the most important one for them, and that they should buy into it.
And in this modern, fire-hose shaped world, those issues can change from day-to-day, and it is up to the Left, with the avid and considerable help from Media, Education, Corporate World, and Entertainment, they have been able to successfully do just that.
Bottom Line: Our individual houses with their solid ideological underpinnings are based in rationality, longer-lasting, and more durable, but prone to division. Their houses are less like houses built on solid, principled, foundations, but more like forts which have no foundation at all to erode, but live behind walls built on a dynamic basis about what they deem to be important at a given time, tying all those people in as "one people" living inside those walls, which they change on a daily basis.
One could be forgiven for looking at their model and thinking it preferable, but it isn't.
