  1. [[No paywall]](https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-05-09/marjorie-taylor-green-fails-to-oust-mike-johnson-as-speaker) from Bloomberg Opinion columnist Patricia Lopez:

    House Republicans delivered a much-needed, [no-holds-barred rejection](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/08/us/politics/greene-johnson-vacate.html) of Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s power grab on Wednesday, briskly voting down her attempt to oust Speaker Mike Johnson.

    Her public shaming was far too long in coming. And it united a fractious GOP caucus who, with the aid of Democrats, had promised they would [be in Johnson’s corner](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/30/us/politics/johnson-greene-jeffries-democrats.html). In the end, [only 11 Republicans](https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/05/08/congress/breaking-down-defeat-of-johnson-ouster-effort-greene-00156909) stuck with Greene. Another 196 Republicans, aided by 32 Democrats, voted to table Greene’s motion to vacate, putting an end to her latest stunt.

  2. what the fuck kinda rug shirt is this backwoods shithead wearing, you deserve a hell of a lot more just for that fashion sense alone. I kinda feel like she could fill in for The Hulkster if this was 1993

  3. She deserves to be booted from Congress and never allowed to hold any office again.

  4. MtG has been losing her entire political career. Fact is that her backwater low IQ constituency simply does not care. Losing is what they do – they just want to make other people mad.

  5. Grab your popcorn folks, this is the part of the movie where the angry dumb bully, exposed and humiliated, lashes out and does something very, very stupid.

  6. That’s hilarious that she didn’t see this coming. Like did you talk to anyone about this crap before trying it?

  7. Her tantrum throwing days are behind her, hopefully…I doubt it, though. It’s all she’s got.

  8. defeat is when she is voted out. until then shes going to remain an embarrassment to American politics.

  9. Yep. She got da feet. They are anatomically incorrect but she definitely got da feet. 👺👣

  10. > Those Republicans…were Reps. Greene, Thomas Massie (Ky.), Warren Davidson (Ohio), Chip Roy (Texas), Eli Crane (Ariz.), Eric Burlison (Mo.), Alex Mooney (W.Va.), Barry Moore (Ala.), Victoria Spartz (Ind.), Paul Gosar (Ariz.) and Andy Biggs (Ariz.).

    The list of 11 extreme crazies so incompetent and/or corrupt that they chose to vote w Marjorie. Their districts should organize a recall effort bc these folks must be hurting their constituents in myriad ways.

  11. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for her attention grabbing nonsense.

  12. I hope she goes to Russia when vlady and xingping are defeated, they could have a permanent threesome of misery and fascism

  13. Maybe it’s time to investigate her and find the pipe bomb materials poorly hidden in her basement.

  14. Oh yeah, she’s really suffering now that she’s trending in every media outlet countrywide and probably sending fundraising emails about “fighting the uniparty”

  15. She definitely deserves to be in jail. Debatable and nebulous forms of political “defeat” isn’t enough.

  16. Marjorie Fucking Orange.

    Taylor Green. (almost forgot that part, long names and all.)

  17. On one hand. I’m enjoying watching the GOP turn on itself and dividing it’s own house. 

    On the other hand I’d really like to stop having to acknowledge every time the Marjorie Taylor Greenes of the world throw a temper tantrum. 

  18. As much as I don’t like her, a Republican is winning that district, so this loser, who accomplishes absolutely nothing and advertises how useless the current Republican party is to the rest of the country, might as well keep her seat. Good job, MTG, keep it up!

  19. Has anyone here bought her book, reviewed it on Amazon, then returned it like I have? It was a fun Saturday afternoon activity.

  20. mtg waste millions on self serving power grab hope and nothing for the US Citienry

  21. This was a win win for democrats and of course they screwed it up by Bailing Johnson out, extremely pathetic.

  22. Why doesn’t johnson strip her of all committee assignments and let her rage as a no power loser?

    He should do the same with the dozen or so extreme nutters and just ignore them.

  23. This was a big deal because it was the first time the rest of the GOP told MAGA no and completely sidelined them. All the other times it has been the democrats with just enough GOP defectors putting MAGA in its place, like with the foreign aid bills that finally got through congress and the government funding that Johnson passed as one of his first actions. MTG had been acting like she was a crucial kingmaker holding the GOP by the balls as her vote was viewed as essential. Johnson is one of the first GOP leaders to ignore her and show that the extremists need the rest of the GOP more than the rest of the GOP needs the extremists.
