  2. Never interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake.

    She is welcome to fail at this.

  3. She wants to do it and watch Dems save him so that she can attack him and say he’s owned by the Democrats. And she will send out a fundraising email about it and raise money from her hick supporters.

  4. Won’t work. Dems and Johnson have a decent working relationship. Remember, we need bipartisanship over a “winner takes all” mentality.

  5. ..Okay?

    The GOP is turning on her and it only creates more division for them, it potentially allows leverage for Dems (if they haven’t already gotten it with Ukraine funding), and it gives Dems control over the House again despite being the minority.

    Knock yourself out I guess.

  7. You’d think she’s forgotten the months it took to get a speaker elected, never mind…..it’s all theatre

  9. Friendless cro-magnon demi-troll vows to stomp onwards no matter what, more at 11

  11. It seems like there is real potential here to end up with Jeffries as Speaker. A lot of the Republican power brokers in the House now aren’t very… sophisticated? And it shouldn’t be hard to provoke the Putin Caucus into seeking revenge for not going along with the plan to oust Johnson.

    What would be the best way to teach those RINOs a lesson? That’s right, Speaker of the House Hakim Jeffries. That’ll show ’em!

  12. Isn’t there a limit to how many times Karen can speak with the manager?

  13. Honestly, she’s probably emboldened to try now that Dems signaled support for Johnson.

  15. good luck with that. the difference between this attempt and the one a few months ago led by Gaetz is that Democrats are fully behind Johnson.

    I get Johnson is GOP, and met Trump. He’s not an optimal figure. But at the end of the day, he did reach bipartisan agreement with the other side without stabbing them in the back like his predecessor. His tenure has been solid so far and he hasn’t really done much to warrant ejection.

    I get it, razor thin margin, MTG, whatever. But he’s not going IMO

  17. Right after the ouster fails Johnson should make an effort to expel Greene.
    It would only take about 1/6th of the republicans along with all the democrats and the Greene problem would go away.

    Article I, section 5 of the United States Constitution provides that “Each House [of Congress] may determine the Rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member.”

  18. Go ahead and keep showing the American people how the Republican Party is in complete disarray. I have no problem with that.

  19. Republicans, creating the dysfunction they proclaim to fix if elected since forever

  20. “I can’t wait to see Democrats go out and support a Republican speaker and have to go home to their primaries and have to run for Congress again, having supported a Republican speaker — a ‘Christian conservative’ — I think that’ll play well. I’m excited about it,” she added.”

    Wow. She literally thinks Democrat voters are as tribal as Republicans. This will be a big self-own. I love the idea of my congress person working across the aisle in order to make progress.

  21. Someone apparently doesn’t like all the work that came with being on committees and wants to get ousted from them again.

  23. What an absolute attention whore. It has no chance of succeeding, but just shut up and do it, already.

  24. And I am moving ahead with my effort to get Bill Gates to declare me his sole heir.

  25. I’m unclear why I’ve got to hear about this woman from Bumpkinville, GA constantly. Hundreds of millions of us did not vote for her and do not live in Georgia and yet she’s somehow covered like she’s running the show. It bugs.

  26. Please please please

    Let Jeffers get nominated and voted in

  27. Please do. Democrats need even more messaging for elections

  29. Lol, right when you thought the GOP mightve stuck together until November, Dem leadership puts out one statement and completely stirs the pot again. Must be fun for these seasoned professional politicians on the left to utterly toy with the rabid morons on the right. So easy.

  30. Moscow Marge has her tongue so far up Trump’s ass, she can tell what flavour chewing gum he’s using. Hideous creature.

  32. Man everything she does feels like a waste of time and resources.

  33. She ain’t got nothing better to do like work on legislation.

  34. Our government may not be functioning but at least it’s entertaining

  35. *Look at me look at me, someone pay attention to me I am important!*
     -MTG

  36. Putin is upset about that Ukraine aid package and shit rolls downhill

    MTG is deep, deep deeeep down at the bottom of that hill in a pool of sewer runoff

  37. I love how she’s now framing this as a “gotchya” for democrats as though voting against the motion to vacate will harm their approval ratings among constituents. Some folks aren’t as bat shit crazy and divisive as you, Marge.

  41. Maybe an unpopular opinion but I think the democrats should save Johnson. But make it clear that democrats are the only thing keeping in power and if he doesn’t play ball under the bus he goes.

    We have this wish.com stephen colbert looking motherfucker by the balls. We should take advantage.

  42. Shhhh… let Moscow Marjorie burn herself and her cronies by doing this

  44. MTG hasn’t done a day’s work since the dimmest bulbs in her district decided to elect one of their own.

  46. So the Maga goal seems to just be “cripple the government”  they win by doing nothing.  Tyranny by the minority.

  47. Hopefully the people of Georgia will oust her in November.
