And after they remove Johnson, what?
Will you have a Dem speaker until January 2025?
Post 2024 elections?

Republicans have a very bare majority which could easily be lost, with just a couple of defections. Just in time for, possibly, a time when a Republican Congress will be an absolute necessity.

This is not a time for emotionalism.

"This is not a time for emotionalism."

Talking about "emotionalism", one grouping of some of the strongest human emotions of all includes "fear", "apprehension", "nervousness", "worry", and "anxiety", and those emotions are what is actually motivating those who just keep on saying "BOHICA", and keep taking it up the old-wussy-wazoo, and then they wring their nervous nellie hands, saying, "Oh dear! Oh dear! What if this happens, or what if that happens? We'd better just take it, and stay silent, and do absolutely nothing once again."

It is much better instead to strive to think like our Founding Fathers, who also did their thing filled with many emotions, such as righteous "anger" and "disgust" and "contempt" at the tyranny of the British, and "love" of freedom, and independence, and honesty. Active American forces at any given time in the Revolutionary War, were usually outnumbered by two to three times their number by the numbers of British forces, and I'm sure many of those Americans also felt that emotion of "fear", but instead of standing around wringing their sweaty hands, and saying, "Oh dear! Oh dear! Let's stand down, and do nothing!", they actually said "Damn the torpedoes!" (so to speak), and went out and actually did something positive about it.
