Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries says far-right Georgia congresswoman’s motion to oust Mike Johnson ‘will not succeed’
Democratic leaders in the US House of Representatives vowed that the Georgia extremist Marjorie Taylor Greene “will not succeed” if she triggers an attempt to remove the Republican speaker, Mike Johnson, from his role.

Now, has Trump backed some good choices in 2016 and in 2024 as well? Yes. Did he have some whoppers in 2016? Yes. Like Nukey Haley, John Boltoff, Pompeii (lol), and a few others.
Is Mike Johnson a RINO? Obviously, given he caves into Dems on spending, funded Ukraine (despite 10% for the Big Guy), a big one, but not the one this year before the near end of the year...that one for Ukraine he rejected.
Plus he's a RINO for other reasons.
Was it a pragmatic move by Trump to back Johnson to smooth out transition?
Also obviously.
Will it cause Johnson to stop being a RINO?
Doubtful. And extremely so...
So there you have it in what I said above.
It is what it is...
Has Rep Massie, who now is opposed to Johnson being speaker always been 100%? No, but who is?
But could he even remotely be called a RINO?
Obviously not.
That’s all.
Pelosi also promised McCarthy they’d back him in the event there was a motion to vacate.
....
No, your are a POS incel, not me.
And you haven’t said anything like that on other threads of those like me, who support Trump, explaining why he did what he did.
You didn’t read what I said above in reply to the article or you wouldn’t be saying that.
So buzz off, ahole.
Yep
Other threads from the last have been posted about Massie, MTG, etc, today, all providing needed explanations.
Trump is in a position where he really has no good alternatives right now.
It doesn’t mean though that Johnson isn’t a RINO, and it doesn’t mean Massie isn’t a good Rep.
thank goodness the Democrats fully support their titular House Speaker, namely Mike Johnson ...
That should tell you all you need to know.
*other threads from the past.
It’ll be a much smoother transition for Trump, which is good and needed, but we’re stuck with Mike Johnson for two years.
Any news on Pelosi.......?
I guess day trading from her hospital bed.
Masshole and MTG need to STFU and sit down. Let’s get the new Congress sworn in, Trump certified and inaugurated. THEN and only then can you open your traps and ASK your president what HE wants to do to move America forward.
April 30th?
WTF?
RATS vowed to save Kevin McCarthy’s ass too, but that didn’t work out the way he thought he would.
There is a huge majority in the House, 300 or greater, to prevent any conservative nutter like MTG from becoming Speaker, or for any candidate acceptable to the small MAGA faction from becoming Speaker.
Your choices are Johnson or Jeffries.
Don’t like it? Elect a different House. Until you do, the comment that removing McCarthy was an unmitigated disaster is exactly right. It showed America that the Republican Party is not serious about forming a government and is only capable of putting on a clown show.
Massie is being put through the pillory over a good faith opposition to Mike Johnson right now over being House Speaker.
This needed to be posted to see what kind of Speaker Johnson is, that Dems like him, and I offered some additional so people can see why Trump backed him.
Others have also posted old articles on Johnson, Massie, etc, today.
Is it good timing? Perhaps not.
Is Mike Johnson a good one to back? No, but it provides a good transition for Trump so what can ya do?
Again, there’s a reason why I posted this. Hear me out...

OK, so "Dems" like him. So what?
What does that tell you that House Republican Members should do?
Are you aware that THREE House Republican defectors can make Hakeem Jeffries Speaker? I bet there are 30 who wuld vote for him before they would vote for Massie, or MTG, or any candidate Massie would find acceptable.
Trump wouldn't be President unless a lot of "Dems" liked him, too. What does THAT tell you?
Psyop is working on you.
