The saddest Pinocchio...
I was about to ask why she would do such a thing but then I remembered to my dismay that asking why mtg does shit is like asking a flat earther why they think the earth is flat.
There's a difference. A flat Earther definitely thinks the Earth is flat. What Marjorie Taylor Greene actually believes is a mystery. How much of it is natural crazy and how much of it is an act?
When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time
I don't think it's an act for her
Poor guy. He appeared to be completely unfit for the job, had to walk a super tightrope about not pissing off his own crazy party, and still got nuked by one of the craziest / stupidest members of his team. Can you imagine the stress? Fuck him. Let him stress. Wretched piece of shit.
I love this for him
Can't even watch porn to chill out due to his weird ass religious blood pact with his son
I have no sympathy for evangelicals in the federal government.
His son better be keeping a close eye on his browsing history in the coming months. Can't have him masturbating his stress away.
Dems should make a deal with Johnson. They will throw him a few votes in exchange to allow Jeffries the ability to schedule votes. That way both parties decide what things to hold votes about.
No. Dems just need like 1 Republican to vote for Jeffries. At this point there may be enough Republicans furious with the extreme nut jobs to form a "not batshit crazy" coalition with the Dems.
How democracy should actually work. I don't understand why they haven't been doing this to begin with
No democrat should ever vote to leave this bigot in the succession line to the presidency.
Some fun things Mike Johnson has done:
Called us a "depraved culture" for having high LGBTQ identification:
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/11/mike-johnson-america-depraved-high-school-students
Made his daughter pledge her virginity to him at a "purity ball":
And just read what he has to say about gay marriage:
https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-times-kfile/134019997/
He's awful. Here's the problem: they're all awful. What's the good choice? Challenge mode: has to also be viable for a vote from his party.
Is Bob dole still alive?
Three years in the grave, which makes him still young enough to run for president
Well he would mostly just be the GOP's speaker. Dems would have their own unofficial speaker and it would be Jeffries, not Johnson. We could mostly start ignoring Johnson with this arrangement.
Except that he remains 3rd in line to the presidency, has massive power over how the house is run and so would just backstab democrats after any "deal?"
There is two paths, we can either have a compromise speaker who isn't Mike Johnson, or Jeffries, without massive concessions (not just floor time, actual policy concessions) it makes no sense for democrats to save Johnson from his own party.
While a lot of people are speculating about how this could lead to a Democrat speaker, I think the more likely scenario is that the Dems vote to keep him in office as long as he stops obstructing the most critical stuff, specifically Ukraine aid. Republicans alone are extremely unlikely to oust Johnson, and a failed attempt to do so only weakens the nutjobs.
MTG is practically handing the Dems the leverage they need to force Johnson to compromise. And if he won't they need only find three moderate / retiring Republicans willing to pick a more reasonable speaker.

He'll agree, then backstab the Democrats the moment they try to get anything done. You can't trust that filthy fuck.

I think this is both a better strategy for Democrats and a more likely outcome than Johnson keeping his word.
Republican house speakers have the life expectancy of a house fly thanks to the treason caucus.
Hahahahaha!... takes deep breath .. HAHAHAHAHA! 🤣🤣🤣
They said ha ha, not hee hee.
Even better… they’re loosing their majority fast. Heard somebody else resigned and they’re down to one
Losing*
At least that will give him more time to allow him to let his son know what he's doing.
