Marjorie Taylor Green and Thomas Massive together brought a motion to the House floor to remove Speaker Mike Johnson from office. However, a considerable number of Democrats joined Republicans in a 359-43 vote to table the motion and protect Johnson’s speakership.
Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) aligned with MTG and Massie. Eight Republicans including Andy Biggs, Chip Roy, Eric Burlison (R-Mo.), Eli Crane (R-Ariz.), Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), Alex Mooney (R-W.Va.), Barry Moore (R-Ala.) and Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) all voted to remove Johnson and create an unknown outcome, perhaps even a Democrat speakership.
After the failed effort to remove him, Republican Speaker Mike Johnson spoke to the media. WATCH:
.
I do not see any way this effort to remove Mike Johnson would benefit candidate Donald Trump, the MAGA movement, or the semi-supportive/passive-aggressive Republican Party that genuine MAGA has to contend with.
It also seems strange that many Democrats did not relish supporting the stupid effort and making a mess out of Congress in an election year. Factually, the only beneficiaries of this chaos scenario, a scenario that could have resulted in legislation to block Trump from office, would be Democrats and perhaps Ron DeSantis or RFK Jr. {BACKGROUND}
Perhaps. And that’s a big perhaps in my mind. However, I trust Trump and if he says hands off Speaker Johnson then I will go along with it.
One way or another the Supreme Court will be deciding many cases for the ages not just presidential immunity. And that’s where Trumps SC appointments come into play. There are several very connected and well informed people that have raised doubts that the Democrats will “allow” Trump to become president because they know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he will seek revenge when back in office no matter his comment “my revenge will be success”. That was a head fake and we all know it.
The 11 republicans that voted to oust Johnson are just fine with me. It was not going to ever happen but it puts people on record….esp all the RINO’s.
It took a long time for me to finally realize that 100% of Communist democrats ARE communist democrats AND 75-85% of so-called republiCONS are actually Communist democrats, thus the UNIPARTY. I no longer look at DC through the “2-party” prism…ALL are compromised in one way or another and very few put his/her country first, or his/her constituents first for that matter.
A great cleansing is needed for DC and all states’ politics.
It’s Bongino Rule # something or other.
“Most Republicans are secretly Democrats. But there are NO Democrats that are secretly Republicans.”
There’s a house member who told TruNews that DC has a huge honeypot operation. And many so-called “conservative” Republicans are sexual deviants who have been compromised.
Among other things 🤔
Agreed.
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner ^^
First cleanse the Republican party. Get rid of the mcturtle cabal and all those that help the demokkkrats achieve their victories.
Replace them with courageous, honorable men and women that keep their word.

I agree completely with your trust of Our President. If we trust him to lead us in defeat of the Globalist Deep State and the salvation of our nation, Western Civilization, and the world, it seems that we can trust him with significant moves like this. I don’t believe that MTG would have pushed this without his approval. Why? It would clearly be a strategic move that somehow benefits MAGA, as you said maybe by continuing the process of outing who can be trusted and by how much. The man is playing with all the cards, most of which we can only really guess at.
We must place our faith in God not men, otherwise we are in for disappointment.
That requires walking by faith and not by sight, something the unspiritual do not grasp. In the end we await a ‘better country,’ a city not built by human hands, whose God is the Lord.
These various battles can shape us or tank us. Getting drawn into political personalities as eternally determinative only sets us up for disappointment and debilitating anger.
Stay biblically strong and let the circumstances go where they will. We know where this earthly road leads, and there is no voting there.
Agreed.
I don’t think MTG would have pushed this recall of Johnson without Trump’s permission either… and Trump recently praised both Johnson and MTG in a tweet. 🤷♀️
So, my… guess… is this is some 4D chess strategy that Trump is leading for whatever reason he knows and we don’t.
It is curious that Dems are not voting to recall Johnson too. It is a lot easier today to end up with a Dem Speaker than when McCarthy was removed.
Anyway, it’s not going to happen based on the numbers. It might just be a political election year maneuver.
Johnson did go against what most Rs/MAGA want — little/no money to continue the war in Ukraine and a lot of money to go toward securing our own border. We got no money to secure our border and $60 billion to continue the killing and destruction in Ukraine that is also leading us, dangerously, toward a WWIII.
No idea what they are doing… but Trump is certainly in the loop…. He practically admitted it when he defended both MTG and Johnson.
… and, I — we all– do trust PDJT. It’s frustrating, though, to see this behavior 6 months away from the election… when our majority in the House is miniscule. Sundance is right to be alarmed though.
Trump is doing what he always does: flattering swamp people who hate him.
It won’t work but that doesn’t stop him from trying.
I know he’s in too deep to back off now, but behind the scenes he’s lopped off a couple of heads over the Johnson MaraLago meeting…
It is apparent to me that johnson has sold his soul to the dems. He made a pact with them…obviously. We now know…don’t trust ALL who say “Lord, Lord”. As citizens we must stop thinking that a well groomed, soft spoken, “proper” person is not always what he/she appears…and just because they say “Lord, Lord” does not make them believers. johnson made deals. He has sold America to the highest bidder.
mtg is not the blame. She is the crier in the dark alerting us to who is friend and who is foe. There are many enemies who place the letter “r” after their.
As for Trump: I read his entire statement on Truth…not part of it…ALL of it. He did not throw mtg under the bus. Did NOT say she was wrong. What he did say now was not the time to vacate johnson because of the election. He did not say he approved of what johnson was doing. He did say he was not pleased with the things that have happened in the house over last few months, and that we would have to fix it after the election. The actual motion was not “voted” upon. What was voted upon was to table the motion…to postpone or suspend consideration of a pending motion, typically to avoid spending time on debate and consideration. But effectively the same thing. Trump did say that johnson should remain…for now. That the vacate may need to be taken up later.
I do not get the impression that Trump is in love with johnson. Some say he approves of johnson’s speakership. Not necessarily so…he is not gushy over johnson. What Trump wants is some unity within the repuke party for now. He is trying to secure the election. Unfortunately, I believe Trump will be POTUS BUT those repukes who battle against the American people will not be elected, therefore giving the house over to the dems in numbers.
But when all is placed in sunlight: the repukes did NOT help Trump in his first administration. Go figure. They are part of the problems…and they aim to protect their interests. I for one, I am happy that someone has the courage to turn over the gambling table in the temple, exposing the frauds who call themselves republicans. What mtg turned over is not new…these people have been corrupt for decades…we, oh so, gullible, naive, backsliders are being forced to look at the cesspool, and notice what POS they really are.
mtg is a drama queen, outspoken, loud, unafraid, correct. She is NOT a cesspool turd.
Two of my brothers called Trump a “bombastic cowboy, but boy howdy how we need that bombastic cowboy.”
Trump is hoping for conservative victories on his coat tails resulting in a Senat and House he can rely on that has purged the rino mcturtle/romney cabal from positions of power, providing at least some small measure of protection from being stabbed in the back repeatedly like his first two years with that traitor ryan and his, and mcturtle’s, allies.
Trump: Moment for Mike Johnson Removal May Come Soon but Not Now
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/05/08/trump-mike-johnson-removal-come-soon-not-now/
FYI. This was not a vote to oust Johnson. It was a vote on whether to “table” (postpone) the bill that would have called for a vote to oust Johnson. For McCarthy, the motion to table failed. Remember comparing the names and there was someone who voted “no” to table the bill and then voted to keep McCarthy as Speaker. This is how Congress can mislead their constituents.
Sorry, but it has the same effect..regular Americans could give a rat’s behind that it was a “procedural thing. “. They saw with their own eyes, if they even knew it was going on, their representative betraying them.
What were they thinking?
How many have longed for a mechanism to RECALL Senators and Congressmen, BECAUSE they promise their constituency ONE thing, to get their votes, and once in office they blatantly do the opposite?
Which is exactly what Johnsonless did, to those who voted for him to be Speaker.
He promised a return to “regular order”, with no omnibus bills, opportu ity to read and debate, etc.
Release of all J6 videos, etc.
Just as McCarthy before him, he promised all and gave NONE, and so earned a “recalling” of the vote to make him Speaker.
The fact that they plucked a relatively unknown back bencher to advance as Speaker, who’s boilerplate campaign positions made him acceptible to brand and market as MAGA, while Gaetz and Jordan ran AWAY from the position tells it all; there is not ONE House menber that would, had they been elevated to Speaker, done any different than Johnsonless.
Because there us not ONE that is not compromised.
Hence, the Uniparty has us, STILL in the “heads we win, tails you lose” position of being forced to pretend that RINO Uniparty are in some way preferable to Democrat Uniparty.
The way for the minority to make their voices heard is to use the House rules to draw attention, and expose reality.
IF they were going to DO it, should have been earlier in the session, before so much damaging legislation was passed.
Vacate the Chair, and then keep advancing candidates that don’t get enough votes, BECAUSE all other business is halted, until there is a Speaker.
Eventually, this would force those craving more Ukraine $, etc. to have Uniparty Rinos vote WITH Dems, exposing their true nature, “for all to see” and ending up with a labeled and declared Democrat Speaker, rather than an unlabeled and so undeclared Johnsonless, like we have.
“Stop pretending”; the vast majority of the Republicans in the House DO NOT WANT ,..PDJT in the WH, and would love to see legislation keeping him off the ballot; they just don’t want to be SEEN, publicly voting for it.
So, perhaps they were thinking since that IS the reality, WHY not expose it?
He promised a return to “regular order”, with no omnibus bills, opportu ity to read and debate, etc.
Which is EXACTLY WHAT HE DID…
He broke up that consolidated aid bill into 4 separate bills and the border wall bill..
You can go see how each rep voted for each aid package and their Wall vote.
What the heck do they think the Dem / Commie destruction of the nation is if not “Revenge” against everything Trump, MAGA, Christian, and Nationalist?
Revenge against Western Civilization every minute as we speak.
I wanted to know unequivocally, if my Representative supports McJohnson’s power sharing agreement with the Hamas/Communist caucus & Chuckles Schumer.
I got my answer.
Amen!
MTG smoked them out.
What “power sharing agreement”?
Post it.
Show this “agreement”.
I would like to see it.
Go looking for it in your fantasy world where McJohnson hasn’t given the communist demoncraps party everything that they would have passed themselves if they had the gavel.
Really do you need to see an agreement or can you settle for the evidence staring you square in the face?
Or better yet matt, p on your own shoe & tell yourself it’s raining. I’m not standing still for it.
Massie has always been a snake, and MTG proved she has no loyalty to her husband… So, why would you trust her for any reason?
She’s a tool not a paragon.
When the tool does what it is supposed to it is of value. When it doesn’t it isn’t.
In this case I approve of her throwing down on the Republican’ts.
All the politicians are “tools”, in both senses of the word.
MTG was incredibly (and IMO unjustifiably) loyal to McCarthy.
So no one who divorces a spouse should be trusted?
Not when there’s adultery.
MTG, is a little dense. Even a RINO speaker is better than having a Dem speaker.
She’s compromised
They caught her BOBBING for APPLES if you catch my drift with McCarthy.
Or as a local radio wit put it, “an act of ultimate admiration.”
Evidence?
I’ll wait.
Please give the source on that !!! Sometimes those are slanders created by the Dems and their lapdog media.
We thought that any Republican was better, it hasn’t worked out that way in practice.
How? The end result is the same. Having a traitor with an R behind their name might make some fake Conservatives feel better, but that eGOP politician is still delivering the leftist democrat agenda. Time for all Conservatives In Name Only to go.
Read above post. No Dem Speaker. (just 3/4 Dem Speaker Johnson)
More like 9/10.
Heck, I can’t think of one thing he’s done to roll back the Dim March to Oblivion.
Which, to me, means that dems are running the show without having to take any of the heat.
But then, again, what else is new?
Then why did dems save Johnson if they could take over the House?
This is not a RINO. This is Pelosi II.
Dense? I have lots of reservations about mtg. She is not dense. A rino speaker is ok, I suppose, it all we have every known. There has never been a hard core conservative speaker. Only mealy mouth, compromising, holier than thou repuke speakers. Fine for a while…but these are times for tough, uncompromising speakers. Obviously, the republican party is made of gutless wonders who secretly carry lust of titles, wealth, tv celeb, debauchery…we lovingly call them rinos. johnson is more than a rino. He has sold his soul for the title and celeb. And that means that the dems were given the speakership by johnson personally. Republicans are in control of nothing. mtg exposed his/their wickedness.
HOW, exactly is a RINO Speaker, that gives everything to “the Dems” (actually the Uniparty!) any “better” than a Dem Speaker?
THIS is the very same set up dillemma THEY have used, to keep us Republican voters on the reservation and filling Congress with Lindseys, Mitchs, Kevins and Pauls!
HOW is a dog crap sandwich preferable to a cat crap salad?
“Because a Dem Speaker will advance Legislation to keep PDJT off the ballot.”
Firstly, some R’s would have to vote for Hakeem, in order for him to get enough votes to be Speaker.
Secondly, some R’s would have to vote to pass such legislation and move it to the Senate.
Thirdly, while SCOTUS said “only Congress can keep him off the ballot” (in the Colo. decusion) they did not detail HOW, or that in order to be Constitutional such a move would require them to have CONSTITUTIONALLY Impeached and Convicted PDJT which they did not do; the Senate didn’t vote to convict, and as Roberts refused to preside, even if they HAD, it wouldn’t have been Constitutional.
THEN, they would have had to charge and convict PDJT of Insurrection, and correct me if I am wrong, but not only has he not been convicted of Insurrection, he has not actually been charged.
As they have no time to accomplish all of this, but plenty of time for an emergency appeal to SCOTUS to block such legislation AS UnConstitutional, this threat “If the Dems get the majority, they will,..” is IMHO an “empty threat”.
So, what you are saying is, you disagree with Sundance.
The fact Dems didn’t support the removal tells you something more dubious is afoot.
100%
‘Just sitting here this morning thinking that exact same thing. ‘Gotta wonder what’s up? We’ll find out soon enough. Regardless, it won’t be for the betterment of our Country.
By September there will be another Ukraine funding bill for 75 billion, give or take a little. Via johnson and the GOPe, the dims will get everything they want, plus republican base will be fighting with the establishment republicans. They want the base disheartened just prior to the election and to stay home. It’s a win win for the dims.
Most “Republicans” will vote Trump and leave the rest of the ballot unchecked.
The “Republicans” don’t think any farther than the end of their noses.
The Uniparty has got to be some of the stupidest people on earth.
Perhaps this is true, but depending on how the “stupidest people” define their success, maybe amongst themselves they are not so stupid.
Well, it’s how their would-be constituents would define their success.
“Hey, vote for me; I need a summer home,”is not a winning strategy, but that’s essentially what they’re saying anymore with just a cursory review of the person running for office.
NO, NO, NO, Jeanine.
They ARE stupid, greedy, cowardly, …but that us NOT why they DO what they do.
It was a Republican Party political operative that coined and popularised;
“Republicans, the party of stupid.”
Brilliant move, because it deflected from the reality that the Country Club Rockerfeller/Bush Republicans do what they do INTENTIONALLY, as full members in the Uniparty.
“The cleverest lie Satan ever came up with, was the one that he doesn’t exist.”
This lie, that Republicons do what they do, because they are,”stupid, lazy, cowardly or greedy” EXCUSES and so deflects from the reality, which is that what WE think if as the “Democrat agenda” is actually the UNIPARTY agenda, and the Repubs are fully on board with it.
I’ve spoken with quite a few “Republicans running for office or in office” over the years and, believe me, they’re STUPID. Now, as stupid as the Demoncrats? Maybe not. But stupid they are. If you were to shake them, they’d rattle.
You’re correct in that they’re conniving little weasels..all of them. 🤣🤣
The only advantage to this silliness I see is that it keeps the spotlight on Johnson, his accomplices and their duplicity – which is a good thing – but runs the risk of disaster from the even more perfidious democrat scum-bags who will take full advantage of any opportunity at any time by any means necessary to get a majority.
This is an election year, nothing of substance is going to happen in Congress (does it ever, lately?), so cut the shit and focus on November & beyond.
They just passed up a golden opportunity to oust this Johnson and install their own…
What, pray tell, do you not understand here?
Trust God. Fear not.
I understand that we were probably better off with McCarthy in the Speaker’s Chair.
If those massive Demonrat agenda spending bills aren’t substantial treason, I don’t know what is. Nonetheless, agreed, focus on November and beyond. Pray ceaselessly!
Possibly a way to expose people’s loyalties? Flush out the snakes?
MTG is a plant and fraud
Explain yourself, this isn’t Reddit. Nobody listens to trash commenters.
I agree with the assessment of Wyoming Treeper – MTG’s inexplicable behavior during the rounds for the Kevn McCarthy Speakership confirmation struck me as rather bizarre – I guess it is a possibility that she is not a plant and fraud, however; that she is just bizarre.
MTG is an inside trader. Her name is on the list that came out months ago. That pretty much tells you all you need to know.
I respect Sundance. He tracks these sumbees in the deep swamp and shines a light on their lairs.
But I’m sorry, MTG is not a double secret agent mole who is trying to sabotage DJT by fortifying his replacement(s).
Is it not possible there are two things going on here:
-Mike Johnson is a good conservative who is wrong if not compromised on Ukraine
-And MTG is drawing a necessary line on NUTSO spending in order to put America First?
Her efforts might just be sincere, you know, not a deep-seeded, double-secret plot to remove Trump via tricky maneuvers.
MTG voted for the unlimited debt ceiling bill because she’d do anything for McCarthy. McCarthy and Paul Ryan are the same. Everything Ryan did was against Trump.
Maybe she realized that was stupidity and is trying not to repeat the same mistake with Johnson? I’m speculating, and I don’t think she’d admit that publicly.
johnson is not a good conservative. He is at best a grade C rino. For this session (118th), johnson is a grad F rino/dem. mtg is an A conservative.
I see a lot of comments on this thread remind me of the Sessions defenders or the DeSantis defenders. It seems people desperately want to believe that there is someone in Congress that isn’t corrupt. There isn’t.
I like Anna Paulina Luna.
I like J.D. Vance.
Eli Crane ….isn’t corrupt ….prove otherwise.
Pretty much if they serve more than 1 term they are compromised.
When they get to DC, they get a visit where they are told here are some experienced staff members for your office. Then they are told if you want to be on any committees and certainly important committees you need to raise so much money for the party/party leader. Then they realize they have to campaign FT to raise funds for their next election and to pay/bribe the party/party leadership.
That’s how it goes for everyone. Then there’s the Congress people that have skeletons, they own them. And many of the newbies come to DC and get themselves in trouble – see Boebert, etc.
That’s the House. Understand the Senate has all that and then some. They also start out compromised because it costs hundreds of millions to buy a Senate seat.
I heard that a vacant seat of the speakership would be a benefit for us. Just leave it vacant until PDJT gets in. No?
If it wound bring the House to a stop I’d be all for it.
It WOULD be, because NO other business can be decided, without a Speaker.
In fact, the Senate is hamstrung, as well.
The question is, if as we saw with the 9 days to select Speaker McCarthy, the minority of 6 or even 20 continued to vote to prevent the R majority from electing a Speaker, at some point would enough Dems vote with Reps, or enough Reps with Dems, to get a majority WITHOUT the votes of the 6 or 20?
I’m certain MTG knows this and her effort was meant to get Johnson on a tight leash.
It’s vital that the R’s maintain control of the House for procedural reasons and more for the upcoming and possibly contested election results. Although, Hakeem Jeffries seems to control outcomes at this point.
MTG may have got Johnson’s attention as it was reported that all the committees have started back up today. We’ll see.
Jeffries only controls outcomes to the extant that the RINOs allow it.
The GOP currently has a 3 seat majority controlling the House. That majority rests on the willingness of the RINOs to agree to anything.
The problem is that the GOP majority is not large enough to influence the Cheneys and Bucks and Kinzingers and other RINOs that are Uniparty tools.
IF — big IF — the GOP can retain control of the House in November AND — important AND — gain a majority that reduces the power of the rabid RINOs, then just maybe they can elect a Speaker that is willing to do the right thing….instead of the expedient thing.
Who is the intended audience for this pull back of the Uniparty puppet curtain?
My best guess it isn’t us, it isn’t Rockefeller Republicans, it is increasingly disaffected Democrats.
You think you are baffled?
Imagine a blue haired lesbian librarian trying to figure out why her Democratic representative just voted to keep a Republican SOTH.
First rule of everything going on in Congress this year: Welcome to The Show.
Prescient
It IS, and WE get so caught up in seeing everything from “our side” its good to step back every so often and see it from 180 degrees, so well done, alex 1689!
Yeah, the Lord’s will be done and He has spoken. Ready to see what He plans for November. 🙏😇❤️
Nobody ever claimed “republicans” are brilliant tacticians.
In fact, nobody ever claimed they have functional forebrains.
The best option Wanker/Johnson/Willy/Dick/Putz should have at this point is to drag the feet on every proposed bill that the Mandarins have moving through. The Oversight/Impeachment/Revenge is yielding nothing in terms of a win for team American. That slope of freedom just keeps getting more and more negative as he calls for more and more votes for meaningless nonsense.
Way back when Donald Trump was just a real estate guy with an ostentatious lifestyle, I was getting involved at the local level trying to fix things that weren’t working as they should.
You don’t know how many times I heard that we shouldn’t do anything about some corrupt fraud or incompetent because “we need him”.
So we can’t question the FILTHY THIEVES stealing another $60 Billion or we’re suspicious. They got the attention to their righteous demands.
What’s with this groupthink?
Unless someone has proof of misdeeds by these 2, it is never wrong to do the right thing.
Right on.
In my mind, this was the right thing to do at the absolute wrong time to do it.
In addition, those wanting Johnson out NOW had ZERO plan for what and how to replace him — AND GET A DIFFERENT RESULT.
AT THIS TIME.
There are so many reasons why the GOP is called “The Stupid Party”.
I forwarded Sundance’s article about the “possibilities” of congress removing PDJT from the ballot with Jefferies to Eli Crane in Arizona; who I have tremendous respect for. I’m sure it didn’t get to him, but we responded to by one of his aids….stating….’we need to secure the border….’
Depressing…
Leave the chair vacant. That’s a win for all of us.
And exactly HOW would you do THAT, Frank?
All the Dems would need is to pick up 2 or 3 RINOs, and then a Dem is Speaker?
Are you saying you would bet your life on a few of these RINOs???
Not sure if any Rs would vote for a Dem, but several have threatened to quit, reducing the numbers needed for a Democrat majority. They would do that.
Absolutely they would.
Who cares if they didn’t replace Johnson and left the seat vacant?
Just some random thoughts here.
Do you think the UNIPARTY has tied things up so badly in our government that any action anyone would try to do to correct the situation would be made by the current regime to look bad?
What would you attempt to do (like MTG) when most of those around you are sniveling cowards? Just staying in the game would take bravery and a stout heart. IMO.
I’m trying with the help of God our father, Christ Jesus His Son and the Holy Spirit, to hold on to my optimism as long as I can.
Well, here’s the reality of things. The Real Conservatives are beyond tired of these congress vermin like Johnson who hand the leftist democrats everything in the wildest dreams of Kark Marx. And a few of them are (maybe) very worried that we will vote them out because of what they are doing. And we might. And maybe that’s the plan, for eGOP to lose enough to block Pres Trump
I’m past done with eGOP and I SWEAR that I’m not voting for the eGOP people in my state in the general election. Yes, that’s right, I want eGOP out of congress. I’m sick of being stabbed in the back.
So long as we continue to vote for the lesser of two evils,…we will get EVIL.
Continueing to do the same thing, over and over and expecting different results is INSANE.
Go to first page of the Presidential thread, scroll to the post by Maquis, Battered Conservative Pledge.
THIS right here is the very ABUSE the Republicon party has been putting us through, to my knowledge at least since Goldwater,..this whole “Vote R, cause D is worse!”
I am sick of it, and since 2012 have vowed I will NOT vote for any RINO, and will leave the ballot blank before I will vote for a Romney, a McCain, Graham or McConnell.
For me CTH is not so much a conservative path forward but an American autopsy.
We are watching an orchestrated House surrender organized by republicans to turn the gavel back to communists. The numerous retirements and ouster of Santos were designed to leave us on the brink, with operative Johnson the new kingmaker. He’s as compromised as Pelosi and part of her, Paul Ryan and McCarthy’s strategy.
The US as it is now cannot be saved. As the cell is, so is the organism. There aren’t enough Americans in functioning spiritual and mental health to overwhelm the dull, selfish or disengaged to make a dem republic work. And now with millions of imported illegals that assessment is even more damning.
Unless an overwhelming circumstance slaps people out of their foolish stupor the spiral down will likely end with the UN divvying us up to other powers. It’s the way of the world.
Pray for a redemptive jarring, one that does what’s needed without total loss. Hang on to your seats.
Then the Dems will not only STAB you in the front, the back and the side. Bully for you!!
I think PDT told her this was not happening, even though we would all like a real Speaker. So much Failure Theater, so little Statesmanship, the President excepted.
Everything is so perverse when so many Republicans are actively working to lose the majority like Mitch did.
But fear not, Child of God.
Our Father Our Deliverer is Sweeping the World with His Mighty Right Arm. The enemy is already shaken down, and we will laugh, sing and celebrate again–so don’t get shook! Have Faith!

Luke 18:
6-8 Then the Master said, “Do you hear what that judge, corrupt as he is, is saying? So what makes you think God won’t step in and work justice for his chosen people, who continue to cry out for help? Won’t he stick up for them? I assure you, he will. He will not drag his feet. But how much of that kind of persistent faith will the Son of Man find on the earth when he returns?”
Exodus 15
6 “Your right hand, O Lord,
is glorious in power.
Your right hand, O Lord,
shatters the enemy.
7 In the greatness of Your excellence,
You overthrow those who rise up against You.
You send out Your wrath;
it consumes them like stubble.
8 With the blast of Your nostrils
the waters were gathered together.
The flowing waters stood upright as a heap;
and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 “The enemy said,
‘I will pursue. I will overtake.
I will divide the spoil;
my lust shall be satisfied upon them.
I will draw my sword,
my hand shall destroy them.’
10 You blew with Your wind,
and the sea covered them;
they sank like lead
in the mighty waters.
11 “Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods?
Who is like You,
glorious in holiness,
fearful in praises,
doing wonders?
12 You stretched out Your right hand,
and the earth swallowed them.
“Live unto Victory!”
Rest in the Vine: The Good News: WE WIN, THEY LOSE!
He did not assure us our governmental constructs will be redeemed and the Red will defeat the Blue. We must be fighting within ourselves to be aligned in righteous faith regardless of collective thought.
The true end removes these false systems, replaced with the Kingdom we read about in those verses. That’s where our only true control is, in our personal walk.
At least it showed that it’s a uni party and they work against us.
The vote exposed what’s going on.
I think MTG did what she could to expose Speaker Johnson (and many GOP) as pro-Democrat.
Rep MTG:
All the scary bad things they all told you would happen if I called the motion to vacate didn’t happen.
They said “Democrats would take control of the House and Jeffries would become Speaker because Republicans only have the majority with one seat.”
Didn’t happen.
Instead, Democrats voted to save Johnson because they knew it was impossible to take control of the House and they want to keep Johnson because he’s given them everything they want.
They said, “2-3 Republicans would resign or get bribed by the Democrats and Jeffries would become Speaker.”
Didn’t happen.
If Democrats could bribe 2-3 Republicans to vote for Jeffries, they would have already done it before my mtv. On top of that, over the next few weeks, 3 more new Republicans are joining the House after they win special elections in nice red seats, and our majority will grow and Democrats still can’t take the House.
They said, “We should be focused on more serious issues! None of this does anything for the American people!”
Doing things for the American people and focusing on serious issues didn’t happen because the Uniparty reared it’s ugly head and voted to protect their Uniparty leader and to keep the status quo which has done nothing to for the American people or solved problems on serious issues.
The good news this morning is now the American people have been shown the truth.
Words are meaningless when they are never backed by actions.
And you know what else didn’t happen?
Congress, which is paid by the American people and sent to represent them, didn’t stop the border crisis, didn’t stop funding foreign wars, didn’t protect America’s energy industry, didn’t cut spending to reduce inflation, didn’t defund the weaponized government, instead Congress protected itself and kept the Uniparty control over the People’s House.
My recommendation is watch (re-watch) The Big Short. Then ascertained whether or not anything within the power structure has changed and the likelihood that WE avoid the “down-side” case (2007-09 Crisis) as opposed to experiencing a variant of the “best-case” scenario and the “most-likely” scenario. Remember, only one person was held legally liable for his actions during the ’07-’09 theft of about $5 Trillion from pensions, RE value, 401ks, etc. They got bonuses!
We never recovered from that crisis. That’s why money has to be continuously pumped into the system. There’s a documentary on a bank owned by Chinese Americans that was prosecuted, despite doing everything right. They had significantly fewer defaults during the time compared to the others. Cost them a fortune.
Commercial loans are going to collapse many banks. The Covid response devalued commercial property immensely.
Well, the question is:
How do we counter the Ukrainiacs who control the media and the political system?
For yet more evidence of that, see
https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4649990-gop-senators-warn-speaker-greene-ukraine-demand/
Not to mention the near total allegiance of Dems to Ukraine.
And no, it isn’t the IC that is driving this Ukraine aberration.
Does anyone seriously think the IC controls, notably, the ADL?
This is the abusive situation in which we find ourselves. No one on this site disagrees with a single “whereas” listed by MTG’s petition. The one that rankles me the most is the fact that Speaker Johnson cast the deciding vote to continue to forego a warrant requirement for 702 searches of the NSA database. I absolutely share the fury of the Republican base at its continued betrayal by the “good Christian conservative” men and women we send to Congress to represent us.
My congressman was not on board because it was a futile gesture, a distraction. As opposed to what? Funding the entirety of the Government that oppresses us?
But MTG and Massie have documented credibility problems. And we are utterly lost without President Trump returning to the White House. His Truth Social post was not a ringing endorsement of Speaker Johnson and he did not throw MTG under the bus. He knows how pissed we are, but he has his priorities headed by getting elected and he needs everybody right now.
The political class is seeding the wind right now. I pray that they do not reap the whirlwind, but the betting odds are not good.
Such gall to claim it was “personality politics” after that very accurate, very detailed litany of issues on which he has betrayed not only the GOP but the American people!!!!! If I could despise him any more …
I do not know who to believe anymore. MTG is trying to oust speaker Johnson because he helped pass the Ukraine bill. According to Lindsey Graham, speaker Johnson would not have floored this bill without the approval of Donald Trump.
Can you really trust any of these people?
I understand Sundance’s points, and I usually agree on 98% of the analysis, but I’m just so tired of having to “pick the lesser of 1,000 evils” – at what point do we stop rewarding these duplicitous bastards by letting them stay in office/power, just because the alternative might be worse?? Let’s do the right thing oncve in awhile (i.e., removal) and then fight their sorry-ass efforts like the third honey badger on the Ark. CLEARLY – Johnson is being blackmailed and is NOT on our side, as demonstrated by his various turn-arounds, sell-outs and immediately getting in lock-step with the Dems and the Uniparty Swamp Apparatus… I just want to see some of these lying bastards go down hard for once – and as with Richard Lugar getting kicked to the curb and losing his comfy graft-filled Senate seat- sometimes the outcome is not any better, but at least SOMEONE takes a well deserved direct hit to knock them off their pompous, lying-ass pedestal!!
Amen, Scotty!
I’m surprised. I really thought that Hakeem would become speaker and the Uniparty would put through a special bill barring Trump from the ballot for insurrection (like Bushie Roberts told them). Was 6 months too much time? Or is MTG really just our version of Maxine Waters?
MTG will fund raise off the defeat just as she fund-raises off every one of her self-created fantasies.
Looks to me like she took action.
Good for her, too.
Real World…..it takes money to run for office.
The prudent thing to do would have been to await a more precipitous time. But I’m glad the motion was brought. Johnson needs to know that the base is fuming, and other Pubs like my own Mike Lawler need to know that we may not be pulling the lever for them come November. Unchecked FISA and $61B for Ukraine, with no border provisions, is both injury and insult. Johnson needed to be humiliated. May his term be short, and another take his place.
Since most Democrats voted for a Republican speaker, it proves that Johnson is Uniparty.
What are they thinking?
They’re making a point that the swamp draining has a long way to go.
Now we have proof that Johnson is a Demonrat for any who were still in doubt.
If Dems had republican votes to take over the house they wouldn’t have voted to save Johnson.
Why not save him? He’s doing what the Dims want him to do!
Who didn’t vote for this?
Matt Gaetz.
Gaetz understood, and listened to PDJT on this one.
These other two are grandstander phonies.
Rep MTG:
Yesterday’s vote did exactly what it was supposed to do: expose Mike Johnson as being completely bought and paid for by the Democrats.
Hakeem Jeffries is indeed Speaker today because Democrats saved Mike Johnson.
MTG and her group lack strategic thinking and are hellbent on creating chaos with no real plan in mind. President Trump has had to rein them in like the hotheaded little children they are.
Talk is cheap and so is an empty action with a known outcome
So many seem to identify with Politics and politicians like sports figures…….do they really seem like athletes? They try ever so hard to put on an act so they are better thought of as actors. Actors are putting forth a false reality and so are politicians.
When any politician gets up to speak they are going to try to tell you what you want to hear…..sometimes what you hear is just an empty promise, others times its an outright lie.
The only way to judge a politician is by their actions.
Repeat that and remember it every day before ever following the days events.
Still expect a balanced budget? Still expect Obamacare to be repealed? Still expect proof of WMDs? Still expect the guilty to be punished for Bengazi?
The truest statement a politician ever made in politician speak was when Bill Clinton said, “It depends on the definition of what “is” is.
This is not a rant but it’s tiresome to hear good folks desperately trying to defend and make excuses for politicians like MTG or Jim Jordan or Boehner or Bush.
These people who voted to remove Speaker Johnson at this time are the Uniparty Dan Crenshaw’s without the sympathy inducing eyepatch.
Mark their names – and Vote Them Out of Office. They are the dangerous members of the Uniparty and are why our country can’t have nice things. The cats that knock the vase off the countertop when no one is looking knowing the dog will get the blame.
IMO … with or without Johnson we don’t HAVE THE HOUSE to back up and support DJT. Remember the Paul Ryan led House? RINO led does not help. I am for driving every one of the rats out at every opportunity and however long it takes. We the people have to be Trumps hammer to get all of his work done. Congress is beyond useless to us at this moment in time and it does not seem that will change enough anytime soon. When Trump gets in (God willing) WE have to be his tool, his engine, to make sure he can get the right things done.
Please god, tell people that the republican voters are the corrupt asshats. Every house member can be replaced every two years.
“Factually, the only beneficiaries of this chaos scenario, a scenario that could have resulted in legislation to block Trump from office…”
Absolutely no chance.
As you can see, it didn’t happen despite all the scenarios proposed.
Shocked that the democrats didn’t take advantage of this and stage a House coup…..
wrong thread, carry on.
At this point, it doesn’t matter. Johnson is a UniParty sellout, but the Dems already said they liked him and would support him.
It’s what we get for having 200-20, 10:1 RINO to MAGA, in just the Repub House caucus alone. Too many damn RINOs, Globalists, and Congress is captured.
Right now is primary season, the time to get rid of Globalist Repub candidates. But so few vote, and vote intelligently, during primaries. Everybody’s “waiting for Nov”. Great, so even when Trump wins, he gets a Congress that openly opposes him. Good plan.
And we end up with a Dem in Repub clothes as Speaker shoved down our throats.
“It also seems strange that many Democrats did not relish supporting the stupid effort and making a mess out of congress in an election year.”
But there it is. That is the window into it. Democrats do NOT want a mess in the House. With the carefully timed Republican resignations in the House, all the Democrats have to do is sit back and wait for their majority to take effect. They will then elect their own Speaker, all orderly and civilized and timed to slam through legislation to help elect either Biden or his replacement in November and install him in January. Orderly. No mess. No glitches.
And perhaps that’s all MTG’s efforts were: an attempt to throw sand into the orderly transfer of the House to the Democrats later this year by blowing it all up now.
However, President Trump clearly has his own playbook for dealing with the soon-to-be Democrat House and their speaker (presumably Hakeem Jeffries from NY). I expect they have gamed it all out and are ready for it. Blowing it all up now just introduces chaos and in the process also blows up the Trump Campaign plans.
So, there you go.
Trump 2024
I think it was intended as a shot across Johnson’s bow and it certainly revealed how the lines between We the People and the Uniparty have been drawn. Johnson breached our trust and fundamental agreements with the majority about what and how bills would come to the floor. The result was as predictable as recent impeachment votes in the Senate. But the points have been made. One other point–MTG isn’t the sharpest or most stable tack in the bulletin board.
It truely amazes me how easily they are seduced and compromised…I hope I wouldn’t be so easily duped and sold…..
Did someone get to mtg? Asking for a friend.
She is alleged to have had some extramarital affairs and that is usually the leverage (((they))) like at the ol’ “community center.”
They fo not NEED a sex scandal, witness two recent hatchet jobs;
The R from NYS and Cueller the D from Texas.
Reality is, in order to get elected and reelected, they HAVE to dirty themselves up, with financial dealings as its a part of the job.
And they must have the unlimited campaign funding from the RNC, the Congressional Republican Campaign Committee, and the essential assistance of their States Republican party in order to counter the unlimited funding their Dem “opponent” will be getting from the DNC, DCCC etc.
So, the “pay to play” system gurantees they will be compromised or they will be OUT.
