quote:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has filed a privileged motion to vacate the chair, forcing the House to vote within two legislative days to eject Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).

Johnson is expected to immediately move to table – and effectively kill – the motion, a vote which requires a simple majority. Yet House rules do not prohibit Greene, or any other lawmaker, from forcing additional votes, and she and her allies have not tipped their hand as to what they’ll do should the motion be killed.

Further, Johnson’s immediate future, despite assurances from Johnson-friendly media outlets, is far from certain. Some Republicans, including those who will vote against ejecting Johnson, may vote against the tabling motion out of principle. Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) has announced he would do so, although he has not said how he will vote on the motion to vacate itself.

Steve Scalise has called for tabling her motion. The guy is a RINO.

All’s I know is that if he has the support of Hakeem Jeffries, he’s lost mine.

Actually he lost it when he said to all of America, frick your border your tax dollars are being spent in Ukraine and I don’t give a shite what you think about that.

They have nothing on her. That is why she can speak freely.

This is no longer a representative government.

It is an authoritarian oligarcy.

Good for her. Now she should put out a statement that she is not suicidal, just to be safe.

Would probably take less than ten of them to do so.

Not many on the right are buying what she's selling.

Considering you are a leftard moron I can understand why Johnson is important to you. He is after all Jeffries bitch.
