At this rate, the motion-to-vacate is going to become the one go-to thing they keep practicing or threatening and then the day will come that the next (D) Speaker returns the rule to its previous threshold or a similar one; then the next time one of the Great Illiterates of the (R) side of the house tries to enter one, they'll be all "What do you mean I can't do that anymore?"

Jeez, She must have been a handful as a child.
Marjorie Taylor Greene [R - Deliverance Country]
Turns out she was extraordinarily unremarkable.
Super interesting article.She came of age in Cumming, the seat of Forsyth County. With her turtleneck sweaters and highlighted mall bangs, Marge Taylor might have been any other teenage girl in America. At South Forsyth High School, class of 1992, she was a member of the Spanish club and a manager of the soccer team. She may not have been voted Most Spirited, but she dressed to theme during homecoming week; she may not have had the Best Sense of Humor, but by graduation she had amassed her share of inside jokes with friends. “Shh … It’s the people outside!” her senior quote reads in the high-school yearbook. “Run the cops are here! I’m gone!!” She was “nice to everyone,” “upbeat,” with “tons of confidence,” recalls Leslie Hamburger, a friend of hers and her brother David’s. “I have nothing but good memories.” The good-but-not-great student was hardly, in other words, an overachieving scold already plotting her ascent to Washington. It’s difficult to imagine an 18-year-old Ted Cruz bothering with something called the Hot Tuna Club.

I have no doubt that she will do that. I wonder if the rest of the Rs will fall for it again, or whatever number is needed to pass it. And they need considerably fewer this time don’t they? Does she think she’s got a shot at the speakership?raison de arizona wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2024 3:24 pm Go mtg, do it!

Too also, will the Dems go along with it this time, Considering the government shutdown deadline looming.
It would be ironic If it was the Dems that saved Johnson, not that he would show his appreciation.

I wish I could remember where I saw it, but I think I read the Dems would vote for him for speaker this time to avoid the same mess.

That might be a good strategy for the Dems. When McCarthy was booted, the Reps tried to blame the Dems for the resulting chaos.
If the Dems go along and boot Johnson now, a government shutdown is all but certain. The Rs would definitely try to blame that on the Dems. Not good optics in an election year.
The Dems can always help oust him when a shutdown is not in the cards. And, you know that someone in the Freedumb Caucus will get pissed at Johnson for SOMETHING before the end of the year. Johnson seems to be making at least a half-hearted attempt to govern, something MTG, Gaetz, Boebert and the like are completely uninterested in.

I imagine if the dems did vote for him, that would be the end of his GoP career since it would feed into the already strengthening narrative that he is a RINO or a sellout or some explanation for why he is actually trying to do his job instead of burn it down.

So are you going to just tweet about it, or keep your word? You were just on @FoxNews before the CR vote today, and you said you planned to make a motion to vacate @SpeakerJohnson Mike Johnson if a CR was passed.
You said you would do that. Here you are on video. Yet, I don’t see you calling for a Motion to Vacate.
Why did you lie to the American people?
The American people want real fighters who keep their word. We don’t want show boaters who make things up and don’t keep their word.
When will you be calling for a motion to vacate like you said you would?

I voted NO for the 4th time.
There are MANY real crises.
Ask the American people, they don’t consider avoiding a government shutdown averting a crisis.

Nah - as long as they protested it was a protest. Once they stormed the Capitol they interrupted a legal and required legislative proceeding. That's whenraison de arizona wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 1:03 pm In this episode, mtg demonstrates her command of the obvious.

Dafuq is a "title wave"?
Again.
A REAL title wave!
I couldn't verify this tweet, it may have been removed, I may just be having trouble locating it because it is old, or it may be fake. I've seen it posted a bunch though, so
Again.

Lawmaker levels epic zing at MTG: 'What are you doing in the men's bathroom?'
https://www.rawstory.com/marjorie-taylo ... -bathroom/
https://www.rawstory.com/marjorie-taylo ... -bathroom/
The far-right lawmaker, who is best known for having embraced QAnon conspiracy theories before being elected and getting expelled from the far-right Freedom Caucus, took a shot at McGovern after he lambasted her in a House Rules Committee meeting, where he sits as ranking member.
"The clowns are running the circus," said McGovern. "We’re wasting time on Marjorie Taylor Greene because she wants to impeach someone. Don’t get me started on her absurd censure resolution of Congresswoman Omar that she introduced because she doesn’t know how to use Google Translate."
"Wow, this is coming from the same guy who is well known to lay his suit jacket on the actual bathroom floor while spending a lot of time in the stall of the first floor bathroom of the Capitol," Greene posted in reply. "Eww. That’s probably when he comes up with all this [poop emoji]."
McGovern, however, shot back with a ready retort.
"No idea what you’re talking about," he wrote. "What are you doing in the men’s bathroom aren’t you late for a klan meeting?"
