WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, three sources with knowledge of the move told NBC News, doing so just as the House voted to avoid a government shutdown.
Johnson, R-La., has served as speaker for five months, having taken over for Kevin McCarthy who was ousted from the top job under a similar process.
Here we go again…for fooks sake!
Just when you think you’re in control
Just when you think you’ve got a hold
Just when you get on a roll…
Ah, music to my ears.
when is someone putting this screaming gibbon back in her cage?
Her district is like +30 Republican. She’s here to stay unfortunately.
But who will be our representative for Jewish Space Lasers?? Imagine the atrocities of such an unchecked system!!
This would have been funnier before October
Eh, the comical insanity of antisemitism is still worthy of mockery.
Sorry, being chronically late is sort of my character flaw.
In your defense, the Jewish space lasers is still an astoundingly stupid idea. It’s just that Israel’s current right-wing government seems to have been smoking whatever it is that made Marge the way she is.
250 years from now scientist, anthropologists will figure out that it was something in the air. Something like a mushroom spore, except, instead of making us hideous and monster like on the outside, it did it on the inside. But it only affected a certain group of people henceforth referred to as the GOP and its caucus.
The infection is getting worse.
I still think it’s funny. It might be even better now, because based on Israel’s current record if Israel has control over it then they sure as hell would be using it about now.
I was thinking more of all the civilians that have been killed and wounded, and all the others displaced and starving. And how that’s not funny at all.
Sure, but we’d never find anything funny if every time people suffered we had to stop. MTG has almost nothing to do with that and laughing at her makes me feel better, so I’ll keep laughing.
I feel for those people too, and so many others, but I can’t handle thinking about that constantly for my entire life. There’s always something we should feel for.
True, and I didn’t say we shouldn’t make the joke. I just said I would have been more funny before October.
I wonder how the GOP has any toes left after shooting themselves in the foot so often.
Gotta be a MTG toe joke in there somewhere.
She looks like a cellulite infested toe.
I usually use my fingers for holding MTG cards, but you do you.
Her inbred ass had enough extra toes to hold them over for a while.
There it is lmao

HOLY 🤣
“‘n this foot right here I call Ol’ Stumpy”
“Sir, that is your exposed femur.”
“Yeah, an’ that makes it a stump! I ain’t wrong.”
I love this for him.
Couldn’t happen to a better guy, right?
I love this for us
you live laugh love to see it.
At what point do a few Republicans not running for re-election just say “Fuck it” and vote for Hakeem Jeffries? The margin is down to what, three flips? McCarthy being so thirsty for the job that he let them change the rules has fucked them over, because Ted Cruz et al made government shutdowns and other refusals to do routine shit such a losing national issue for the GOP that once in the job, even Christian-Nationalist ideologues like Johnson have to “betray the principals” of idiots like MTG, Gaetz, and Boebert.
Because of the rule change, it’s going to fuck over Dems too when they take over Speaker of the House. Reps are just going to oust every single Dem elected to the position every single day. All they need is one vote to challenge the Speaker. I really hope they nullify the rule.
I don’t think those are House rules. Those are the rules they made for themselves. Democrats don’t have to abide by this. That’s my understanding at the moment. Feel free to correct me.
Thanks for the clarification!
I think they are house rules, but a majority of Congress can changes those rules at any time. So if Democrats take the house they can just reverse it as part of installing a new speaker.
I see, thank you!
Pretty sure those are house rules. I think they are agreed upon at the beginning of every session of congress. They can likely be changed with a simple majority but the handful of fucking-batshit-insane GOP don’t want to give up that power. I can’t imagine Dems just holding onto that rule when it should just be an essay vote to revert back to what it was.
Thank you! I agree, I don’t think Dems would keep that rule. Which kind of makes it only for republicans. But now I understand that they are in fact House rules that would need to be changed. Thanks again bro/sis!
They do. The Constitution says that each chamber makes its own rules. Whoever is in power can do pretty much whatever they like. Usually they write sensible rules to avoid a pendulum swing each time power changes hands.
The just plain wrong. When you vote for speaker you also vote the rules in. Dems will not vote for the same set of rules and likely go back to a traditional and more sane set of rules.
Thank you
Only the majority party has that power & that rule will go bye bye immediately after the Democrats take that chamber back.
What principles? Oh yeah, vaping and giving handies at kids’ shows and throwing tantrums in The House while doing absolutely nothing resembling their actual jobs.
Wasn’t that Boebert?
It was both of them, especially the clown show on the floor of the house
They were both groping someone in public at a show?!?
I don’t like this ride and I would like to get off.
There are plenty of Blue state GOPs. I can see someone giving a speech along these lines; Things have gotten out of hand. It’s time to cooperate with the other Party. You know me, and that I am a strong Reagan Republican. Reagan worked with Tip O’Neil and we beat the Soviets.
There are plenty of Blue state GOPs.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of them (if you don’t believe me, check the Senate and the 2020 Presidential election results), but that doesn’t stop her district from being deeply blood-red-batshit-insane.
Thank Sarah Palin for the new political track. Back in the day, a losing pol could only go home or become a lobbyist. Now they can become media darlings. MGT will be flogging her wares for decades, in or out of office.
Wouldn’t really say that Beetlejuice the Musical is directed at kids but everything else is spot on. They talk about orgies and suicide in it.
Holy shit, I got to see This show!
(handy not included, you must bring your own)
Suicide orgy: You come and then you go.
Don’t forget MTG is a lying, homewrecking, unfaithful PoS. Just like her golden idol, Trump.
They aren’t sending the best people, folks.
Ha! It’s so funny when they eat themselves alive.
I don’t think that legislation can move forward in a scenario where there isn’t a Speaker. That impacts everyone.
What legislation was going to be moving forward? Are they even doing anything other than the impeachment?
Tiktok ban, that’s about it. Obviously the most important thing that they should be focusing on /s
Spending bill(s)
And I don’t think Mike Johnson should be the speaker.
Just what legislation do you think the GOP is working on passing? The GOP being the majority is what impacts everyone.
Speaking in immediate terms, I’m kind of interested in the Ukraine aid bill.
Hahahahaha!.. takes deep breath … HAHAHAHAHA! 🤣🤣🤣
They said ha ha, not hee hee.
Even better… they’re loosing their majority fast. Heard somebody else resigned and they’re down to one
Losing*
How many rounds will it take this time?
While a lot of people are speculating about how this could lead to a Democrat speaker, I think the more likely scenario is that the Dems vote to keep him in office as long as he stops obstructing the most critical stuff, specifically Ukraine aid. Republicans alone are extremely unlikely to oust Johnson, and a failed attempt to do so only weakens the nutjobs.
MTG is practically handing the Dems the leverage they need to force Johnson to compromise. And if he won’t they need only find three moderate / retiring Republicans willing to pick a more reasonable speaker.

He’ll agree, then backstab the Democrats the moment they try to get anything done. You can’t trust that filthy fuck.

I think this is both a better strategy for Democrats and a more likely outcome than Johnson keeping his word.
The U.S. watching Canadian news is just a sleeping dude.
We’re ok with boring. ;)
I’m… I’m jealous.
At least that will give him more time to allow him to let his son know what he’s doing.
I can’t wait for 37 more ballots of Hakeem Jeffries almost winning.
Needs exactly four Republicans House Reps to do what I could only describe as the funniest thing ever.
Retiring?
There’s now two more early resignations in the pipeline. On April 20, it will be down to only two R’s needed to defect.
The saddest Pinocchio…
