Marjorie Taylor Greene pulled the trigger and motioned to vacate Speaker Johnson. She lost 359-43. We don’t know what she will do next, but there are options.
I think her timing is off. What do you think?
I just called up my Motion to Vacate Nancy Pelosi-endorsed Uniparty Speaker Mike Johnson.

They shouldn’t be booing Marjorie Taylor Greene. It’s not a football game.

Donald Trump responded:
The eleven Republicans who voted ‘nay’ are: Biggs, Burlison, Crane, Davidson, Gosar, Greene, Massie, Mooney, Moore, Roy, and Spartz.
This is Mike Johnson’s decision. Will he be a Democrat Speaker or a Republican one?
He already delivered Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer’s agenda.
If he’s capable of doing that, I think he’s extremely capable of meeting the suggestions I’ve asked of him on behalf of the Republican… pic.twitter.com/ry2Id1qkJJ

Someone tell me why Johnson isn’t the best speaker the Democrats have ever had.
Thought: the booing reveals the immaturity of too many in congress, as well as their intolerance of independent thinkers like MTG.
We all know who those azzkissers are will vote accordingly.
When the USA is being destroyed rapidly, timing is not relevant. You are again using one of these RINO slants. Stop congress NOW.
Think about it a repub supported by Pelosi who impeach your candidate twice.I don’t care about let Europe handle it. The southern border is not negotiable.Unfortunate the repub are a bunch of losers.
“I think her timing is off. What do you think?”
I think MTG is a true patriot who sees an evil tide sweeping across the country and believes we cannot yield on more inch to the forces of evil. I think she is disappointed that the speaker does not seem to recognize the great danger and has allowed himself to be outmaneuvered by those forces of evil.
Did she expect to win the motion? No! She was in the best way she knew, to try to get the speaker to see what was happening.
If the Republican leaders (example the Whip) understood her then almost enough Republicans to pass the motion would have joined her, sending a powerful message.
The problem is that too many Republicans do not understand the urgency that she sees, and so simply reject her and an unloyal troublemaker.
Today, thanks to so many ignoring objective reality, people are highly swayed by how much the ‘like” the person presenting the issue, instead of the merits of the issue. MTG does not have the easiest ‘to get along with’ personality. Se has gotten into some very silly and demeaning catfights that lower other’s opinions of her. Further she tends not to be good at the congressional ‘schmooze game’. With to many non-critical thinkers in congress, she will always have a hard time winning her point, no matter how valid her critical thinking. She simply does not belong to the ‘in tribe‘.
Now to the question: I would no have chosen her timing. I think she could have used a different weapon at this time to get her points across, but having never been a member of congress, I am unable to validly give her suggestions.
I think CCP has cursed us by managing to make us ‘live in interesting times’.

Thank you fellow readers. I appreciated the fact that Trump has now said basically the same thing. He is often discredited for not being a wily politician, but he really is a very clever man who still preaches the same message he preached when he was just a young entrepreneur. That is a man we can trust.
