WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, three sources with knowledge of the move told NBC News, doing so just as the House voted to avoid a government shutdown.

Johnson, R-La., has served as speaker for five months, having taken over for Kevin McCarthy who was ousted from the top job under a similar process.

I wonder how the GOP has any toes left after shooting themselves in the foot so often.

I still think it’s funny. It might be even better now, because based on Israel’s current record if Israel has control over it then they sure as hell would be using it about now.

He actually just said he wouldn’t hold up support any further. He must’ve seen this coming.

Imagine his view of the Republican caucus shit-show. I’ll bet he’s downright desperate to get out at this point.

Knowing him this is less of a matter of conscience and more a “fuck it I’mma burn this bitch to the ground on the way out”.

Probably more the swing-district republicans saying, “Government shutdowns always get blamed on the GOP. You gotta take one for the team here. Take it up with Donald later.”

Wasn’t that the branch he was kneeling to the hardest? If even they don’t like him, I doubt he will remain speaker long.

It’s so funny how many GOP crazies run because “God told them to,” and then fall flat on their faces with no popular support.

He must have an excellent sense of humor.

God has no sense of humour, but he hasn’t found a way to power his simulation without irony. That’s why we’re here, the whole thing falls apart with no sentients to torment
