When would the SBC have the time for such a complex endeavor?  They're too busy diddling little kids, and concocting a complicated coverup.

Well they don't dance, so that leaves Friday and Saturday nights open.

Possible? Yes. Likely? No. You need one of Manchin and Sinema still. Ain’t gonna happen.

Mike Johnson’s Speakership is OVER!

He has betrayed Republicans by handing the gavel to Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and the rest of the Democrats.

He betrayed us on border security.

He betrayed us on funding endless foreign wars.

He betrayed us on FISA.

He betrayed us on fully funding Biden’s DOJ.

And Mike Johnson did it all by working with the Democrats.

It’s time for him to resign, so Republicans can elect a Speaker who will work for our party.

C'mon motion to vacate...he's not going to resign and he's laughing at you Three Toes.

Sounds like she can't quit him.

She's getting a lot of attention right now, with the media swarming her and wanting to know if she'll go through with MTV.  If she does, and Johnson remains, the media will start ignoring her.

Best to keep pretending like you're going to.

I would like to thank MGT for bringing cooperation and the ability to compromise back to the House; not that she does either of them, or comprehends what it would mean to actually govern a diverse populous, but rather because her idiocy has pushed others to realize that they have to be willing to compromise or the idiots will gain an even bigger voice.

Does she actually think Jeffries is bluffing?

Unlikely. 

Also - Trump isn't on board with this either so she's delaying hoping he'll change his mind IMHO. Remember he's got an advisor telling him she's bad news so his support is unlikely moving forward. MTG exists because of Trump - not the other way around.

Are they formulating a plan to campaign on having a speaker that dems will vote for, and needing more Maga in the house to elect a good murca first speaker to get things done?

The plan is to lose the house so they don’t have to govern

You know, as clumsy as she usually is in front of a mic.  And as fucking delusional and illogical as her argument is...if you're a MAGA diehard...that MTG speech was actually quite effective.  

Two major flaws though---she'll hold her seat, but she's just estranging herself from her party leadership at this point and will be given lesser and lesser committee assignments and fundraising help as time goes on.  And also, while it sounds good on the surface to MAGA nation, to proclaim that Democratic members voting for Johnson will have to shrug their heads down when they return home to be primary'd.  They're too fucking stupid to game it out.  Only one of two mathematical outcomes there MTG and MAGA.  Those Democrats may actually lose a primary because of it to a more left-wing candidate, thus bringing about the evil socialist dystopia you keep warning us about.  Or they simply are smart enough to realize, "Meh, I don't like Mike but he was the least shitty choice for the last year of Biden's first term when we had real geopolitical shit going on."  Either way, it's not the flex you think it is.  But again, having said that, I think was actually one of your more rousing speeches to your barrel of buffoons.
