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}
So are MTG, Thomas Massive and their fellows just too MAGA for MAGA?
Who gets to say who is MAGA and who is nots anyway?
And I really don’t see any Ron DeSantis connection here.
<So are MTG, Thomas Massive and their fellows just too MAGA for MAGA?>
I’m too MAGA for my shirt…
Too MAGA for my shirt…
So MAGA it hurts 🙂
Right said, Fred. 🙂
I love when you call me Fred 🙂
I was in a Hard Rock Cafe with friends for burgers when that video first came out in the 90s
Instantly, everyone was dancing in their seats
Irresistible ear candy, and the guys were visually hilarious as well
A well-deserved hit
Thanks for new ear worm!
👉 Sundance has diagnosed in many posts 📫 how the uniparty works together in DC and what these uniparty types do to get reelected with their propagandized electorate “back home” 🏡 .👈
👋This is another example of the same back stabbing type of horse 🐎 trading that Mitch McConnell likes to accomplish as the “minority” wing 🪽 of the uniparty bird 🐦⬛ in the Senate of which most Republicans seem to enjoy including Ron DeSantis 👌👍.
I don’t trust Massie or MTG a bit. There was never any danger of the motion succeeding. Democrats wouldn’t allow that. Beleive it or not, there’s a large segment of the population that doesn’t understand the uniparty dynamic. This is something that can be used to illustrate it to them. Something you can point to and say “look! Can you see it now?”. For this reason alone I find this outcome desirable.
We have a number of folks here suddenly denying the entirety of Sundance’s revelations regarding the Uniparty and the Fourth Branch of Government.
Sounds sorta Derpy to me.
Well, Maquis I have worn down my fingertips and several cell phones, pointing out to treepers how, by their comments they are reflecting that they are still stuck in R vs D mode rather than fully embracing the acceptance that its Uniparty D&R, vs US.
“WE have to retain the HOUSE”, for example
Who’s this “WE” (ya got a mouse in yer pocket?)!
WE, as in the American people or MAGA, have not controlled the HOUSE for a long time, and will continue to not control it, whether it is Uniparty R or Uniparty D Speaker.
It seems this illusion of D vs R is so deeply ingrained, it is very difficult to truly shake it off and see thru the illusion, to the reality of Uniparty.
‘ It seems this illusion of D vs R is so deeply ingrained, it is very difficult to truly shake it off and see thru the illusion, to the reality of Uniparty. ’
Truth.
Frequently wonder exactly what it will take for people to figure this out. Exactly where is the upper limit on the betrayal? It appears to be infinite.
Is there a point where people are actually willing to do something? It appears not.
Prepare accordingly.
I think most GOPers are busy living their lives. They don’t delve deep enough into party politics to truly see the UniParty. I was unaware until the Tea Party days in 2009-because I was involved, it became crystal clear. Most people don’t get near the involvement that makes it obvious. Look at people in Az who supported McCain for decades. My parents thought he was wonderful. The awake ones knew he was a back stabbing RINO who went home and acted like a war hero and conservative-they bought it hook, line and sinker for how many terms? Too many. Same with Mitt—-any one paying a smidgen of attention knew he was a RINO.
And we have not heard a word from Nikki Haley, since about a week after she stepped out of the election ring, who usually had an opinion on everything.
What’s up with that?
…who?
I am guessing she will rise from the dead, at the convention, which is another inevitable inflection point where they can TRY to block Trump, and so why WOULDN’T they?
Yes, PDJT has figurative control over an RNC filled with anti-Trump forces and spies,…
But EVERY State party is still controlled, AT THE TOP, by Nevertrumper RINOS.
THEY are the ones that sent electors to vote for Ronna for a 5th time, and THEY are the ones deciding WHO will be representing each State as delegates to the Convention.
It will be yet another battle, between MAGA and RINO, with the latter having no concern that a public display of disunity might help the Dems, cause they really don’t CARE if Dems win, their efforts are totally focused on PDJT losing.
If they can they will try SOMETHING at the convention, to advance RDS with Nikki as his VP, as an alternative to PDJT and his VP.
Another Cruz moment,..?
Speaking the Undead, is Haley involved in Boeing’s convenient string of whistleblowers falling out of the blue?
Not suicidal here.
Well since MTG supported McCarthy and Massie has supported anti-America economic policies, I’m not sure what you mean by MAGA.
MAGA as meant by Donald Trump was economic nationalism and America first foreign and trade policy supported by leveraging economic/financial tools.
Exactly 💯 💯 Lulu 👌👍
So what’s Mike Johnson’s excuse for buckling on US funds to Ukraine/Israel/Taiwan?
Family safety…in D.C. human life is cheap (paraphrasing Casablanca)
The fear of what man ‘can’ do to them, as opposed to what God ‘will’ do to them;
“In the day that God will judge the secrets of men according to my gospel”
Rom 2:16, I think.
Trust God. Fear not.
Only his hairdresser knows for sure.
I think someone mentioned earlier “Frat boy college party videos” (no ladies invited)
It is for our military complex manufacturing – going directly back into the GDP and making these companies billions richer.
Astute observations and powerful points.
Very nice.
MTG supported McCarthy in the beggining…. hoping that he would do the right thing. McCarthy did not do the Right thing and then she ditched him. What is wrong with that??!!!
Do you grant her that much credibility in a Derp dominated environment like that?
But now she ditched Johnson after voting for him! After a while, she might want to look in the mirror and say, maybe I’m the problem.
Johnson portrayed himself as a conservative even touting the ways he would vote and why. Then he dropped it all. I hope whatever the intel agencies have on him is revealed or big $$$ he has accepted for dropping his principles.
Satan’s greatest accomplishment is convincing men that he doesn’t exist.
Of course, he has a lot of suspicious characters espousing that premise on his behalf.
Professional Pretending Prostitutes one might call them.
and Mike Johnson is one of them.
Many here, too, I regret to say.
Too MAGA for the cat walk, the cat walk…
LOL
If you profess it you posses it ?
If Chip Roy signed on, you can bet your sweet bippie there is a connection to Ron DeSantis.
Theater for the peasants while they steal your money and livelihood. Who is better than mike? MTG? They are all squashed out of he same play dough.
This I know! There is a movement that has taken all out of the way of globalism, what we fear so much has been our undoing. We fight so hard to destroy the “blob” of this globalist takeover and we have launched the nuke that will return and destroy us all. It cannot be stopped at this point, a mass revival of unprecedented proportions could awaken the population of America, that would be God and why would he? To drive a larger stake through the heart of believers? There is no repentance. Name a priest or pastor saying “ forgive me lord” where is the truth? Our priests? Most pastors now count the coins after service. Too few coins means we need less truth.
Can anybody make a distinction between government, politics and religion anymore?
America was taught truth from the pulpit and government enforced it. Now, government tells you what truth is and the pulpit repeats it, for coins. There should have never been a question if Muslims were allowed to worship here or satanists, that should have been a thought that was never tried because of all we as Americans were. Now, anything goes. Truth is the God shaped hole.
Until the last day there will always be a remnant. A few pastors are still preaching the Word and repentance. Take heart: the end of the story is already written, it just hasn’t all been brought to an end.
Don’t know about others but the Bible seems pretty clear; “In This World You Will Suffer Persecution”. Anyone who stands fast in their commitment to Christ will be persecuted. The more turbulent and evil things become, the more difficult it will become to maintain and proclaim your Christian faith. It’s really no wonder at all that muzs, etc won’t be persecuted. Why should they be? Christ Himself said, ” I Am The Way The Truth and the Light, No One Comes To The Father But Through Me”. Won’t be just pastors who will be persecuted.
The late, great Andrew Breitbart once proclaimed that politics is downstream of culture. Thus, politics is at the end of the stream where all the sewage goes. Everything today has become political. If one travels upstream, culture is organized into the so-called cultural mountains of arts/entertainment, media, government, business, education, religion and family.
These mountains are downstream of worldview which if one does a quick analysis, these mountains are primarily secular with religion and those subsets of family who live by faith are the only exclusions.
Worldview is then downstream of the individual heart–what do you believe? It is here where our failure lies–the human heart when left to its own devices is desperately wicked and deceitful beyond measure. Who can understand it? Every person has a cornerstone–that which is most valuable to them. Instead of God or Christ as one’s cornerstone, we have too many people in leadership positions who have placed themselves in first position. It’s all about me or who may love God but fear of being compromised or threatened and thus say nothing and fall in line with the beast or blob or whatever you wish to call the Deep State’s bidding. The love of money (or fame or power) is the root of all sorts of evil. We’re seeing that play out in real time and it’s quite disheartening to witness.
Hmm
The old Roman way: “Bread and Circus’s”. That’s where we are folks. We have arrived at “No taxation without representation”, only now it’s just about every subject congress deals with.
Preach it brother!! You speak truth.
when I speak to God I do not ask for saving of what we have wrought because we created a Godless culture or allowed it to take root.
No. His will be done. Give us truth and it is up to us to put ourselves back on the path to Him.
James 5:12
But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
All of Johnson’s “nays” –things he said he would oppose–have turned into “yeas” for the Democrats. He has earned our condemnation.
It’s not Our condemnation he needs to worry about.
‘Vengeance is mine. I will repay’ says the LORD, in this life as well as the after.
Trust God. Fear not.
Ye have well said, it is not OUR condemnation he needs to worry about, for he seems to not worry about it at all, however well earned. God will judge him however He may, but as for me, my jury is already in–guilty as charged.
Shrug…
Maybe the demokkkrats, instead of wanting to “protect” Johnson, just wanted to send a message to those Republicans that they are just tired of the chaos.. or they just didn’t want the interruption to the legislatove calendar that an extended speaker replacement process would bring.
Johnson got as good a deal as possible and made every House Member vote on each separate funding issue.
Anyone can go look at how their Rep voted on each issue instead of a single bill that included everything.
Remember, if Johnson had not pulled that off, the Senate bill, far worse, would have been passed under discharge rules.
We have a bicameral Constitutional Republic. The Republicans do not have the White House nor the Senate. Compromise is a feature and a brake on any single run away branch.
“The enemy of the good is the “perfect”. “
Also, something like 1 Republican Reps voted to table also.. kind of a large majority of the caucus.
180
The communist “Team Chaos” tired of chaos?
Oh please…
matt,
Good points for 2024.
“Let’s go Brandon and the democrats and the GOPe!”
..You better call Adm .ROGERS & wh..to get them all out……
Johnson only got the “best deal” if you think they had to get a deal. There was nothing wrong with leaving a logjam. It worked for a couple months. Johnson got nothing for the border. Nothing. There was a guy who wrote that you have to be able to walk away from the table. That guy’s name is Donald Trump.
Well, he did get more funds for the NGOs to give the traffickers to facilitate more invaders. He made sure to do that. Johnson is similar to Russell Moore. Thinks whites are inferior and should be replaced, agrees with the left on everything else that is important, and uses religion to hide behind.
Republicans squandered their majority, Johnson threw it away.
God is not the enemy of the good.
Trust God. Fear not.
If the plan was to demonstrate Republican unity going into the election, this was a big step forward. The unhappy folks got a show vote and can now fall in-line.
You can get in line with commies. I don’t want a representative that will do that.
President Trump will be impeached before Easter if the democrats control the House in January and the ONLY chance republicans have of holding the House come January is if they can somehow jettison No Johnson Johnson soon. Just about every conservative I know is saying they will vote ONLY for Trump and not for any of the republicans running for congress.
You’re exactly right.
No conservative has ever voted for a power sharing agreement with communists.
Well then, they will deserve what they get.
What about what we get?
They will file impeachment papers the minute he takes his hand off the Bible?/s
Yes, a Democrat House in 2025 will surely help Pres. Trump. Sarcasm off
All this reeks of Alinsky: use the opponents rules against them.
Also didn’t Massie support DeSantis?
Problem is there’s no alternative to Johnson right now. Literally nobody
Thats the point. Those that favor vacating the chair, are rooting for that candidate that kicked Nikkis ass in Nevada; NONE of the above.
Vacate and keep it empty, for the rest of the session which means NO legislation can advance.
The only way to break the impasse would be either for D’S to vote for an R Speaker, or R’s to vote for a D Speaker.
And thereby exposing the charade.
The Uniparty is reversing the party in the majority for a REASON, so that the Dems can lead from the minority, as thexReps usually do.
If there were a D as Speaker, they would HAVE to pass legislation keeping PDJT off the ballot, which would promptly be found UnConstitutional without first impeaching and convicting him in the Senate, THEN convicting him in Court.
They want the NARRATIVE, the ILLUSION that they can do this, without exposing the reality that they can not.
Totally agree with this. J was initially against it but researched more and concluded vacating chair wouldn’t lead to legislation to exclude Trump. Vacate it and expose these people.
So they “only vote for Trump” and “Trump” wins but they have also allowed the House and Senate to go to the party of darkness, chaos, death and destruction. What exactly is their plan then when said party of evil, darkness, chaos and death refuses to certify the election and proclaim that the pervert currently occupying the White House will remain there?
I’m pretty sure these “conservatives” have a plan for that event and I would love to hear it.
I frankly trust like MTG. She just repeating the same old thing in every interview and it seem fake. Ever since McCarthy speakership, and she get committee assignment something has change. I feel like she’s a RINO.
MTG is a creep, genetically
They all are….creepy
I don’t follow GA politics but it seems she stands up for her constituents? Unless its a sham?
Yes she does and I actually admire her for it.What happened to We the people?
Sunlight.
Every time
though i don’t respect or trust Johnson, now is not the time for congressional disunity even in the face of RINOS… 2 great bills coming from the House, federal id voting bill to keep illegal alien/noncitizen vote from being counted and consensus cannot include illegal gimmigrants
When is “the time?”
He’s the communist demoncraps speaker NOW.
That smirky smile in the first photo above is what makes me despise him even more (along with his rino flavor)…altho not a fan of MTG either….
If that bill goes in favor of the ‘gimmiegrifters’, that will add fuel to Trumps campaign.
All things work together for good to them that love God.
All things are working for the good of President Trump, in case some People haven’t noticed.
The ungodly call him Teflon Don.
More like he has the armor of God protecting him/us.
Trust God. Fear not.
SM, if you’ve ever had a seat at the negotiating table, you’d know that you will never get everything you ask for on your Demands List. I’m well aware that Johnson masquerades as a fake Christian, but name the Congressman/woman you would have step in to replace little mike AND who would garner enough votes to become speaker???
None of the above, gets my vote!
Keep the seat vacant, even those barstuds over in the Senate are frozen in place, and can’t grift a thing.
Matt Gaetz
seems like a fraud to me
Leave it vacant. Expose these people.
Do you think for one second that this bill will get thru the senate or get FJB’s signature before the election? This bill is no different than all the bills the republicans put forth to get rid of obamacare when they knew that it would fail in the senate.
RS, obviously not… would you prefer they sit on their arses and pass nothing. And besides, 1/2025 the senate will be in republican control and the house will pick up repub seats
HAVE FAITH RS, GOD IS ALWAYS IN THE DETAILS
I would prefer that they fight instead of playing stupid games. They can defund the special council that’s persecuting President Trump. They can put some teeth into the contempt of congress that FJB officials are guilty of. They can defund colleges that are allowing the commie protest. They can defund leftist NPR. There are a lot of thing they can do that puts them on offense, but they would rather play stupid and useless loser politics.
Johnsonless has said that the House will protect General Zod (Jack Smith).
Now is not the time for this fight. – GOP motto
Abused Conservative Syndrome.
Quite the opposite.
Says it all right there.
Do you seriously think that Mikey Johnson is going to bring a federal ID voting bill to the floor?
poopy won’t sign that bill even if it makes it thru both house and senate
all bills emanating from the House are DOA in the senate. All of them.
Notice the reference to Electoral College and more in the following article. Would it not have been better to have shut down Congress until after the election?
Breaking: House Democrats Vote UNANIMOUSLY to Give Illegal Aliens Representation in Congress and the Electoral College
by Jim Hoft, May. 9,
One of the many migrant caravans marching to the open US southern border.
Here we go… House Democrats on Wednesday night voted unanimously to give illegal aliens – including Joe Biden’s 11 million illegal border crossers – representation in Congress and the Electoral College.
Democrats continue to put Americans and American workers in line behind alien invaders.
The House vote was 206 to 202 with 22 representatives, 11 Democrats and 11 Republicans abstaining from the vote.
Steven Miller reported: “House Dems just voted UNANIMOUSLY to give illegals representation in Congress AND the Electoral College. House Seats and Electoral College votes WILL BE added to areas with the most illegals (including all Biden illegals) unless the Senate passes the bill. Invasion by design.”

House Seats and Electoral College votes WILL BE added to areas with the most illegals (including all Biden illegals) unless the Senate passes the bill. Invasion by design. pic.twitter.com/nVjhmsNh34
— Stephen Miller (@StephenM) May 9, 2024
The language of H.R.7109 is as follows: To require a citizenship question on the decennial census, to require reporting on certain census statistics, and to modify apportionment of Representatives to be based on United States citizens instead of all individuals.
Democrats in the Senate will not bring this to a vote, thus giving illegals representation in Congress.
The Democrat Party is clearly lawless.
The 11 republican’ts that didn’t vote were what?
11 Democrats and 11 Republicans abstaining from voting. Could it be they are thinking we can hide our vote from the current American Citizens?
It’s called a double bind.
BTW, you do know that the democrats can remove Pres. Trump from the ballot if they have control of the House now, right?
Agitators…
Can they do that with the light switch turned off in Congress? And would it matter what the democrats will want after the election?
Lovely dream that will never happen.
Perhaps after the Inauguration, if an unprecedented in scope RICO Soviet case implicates the entire damned DC edifice.
Furthermore, I consider that the Derp State must be destroyed!
Maquis,
We seem to share the same Dream.
Let’s see, if we both get our vision of it in about 486 days!
Dream this too:
A subsequent Nullification and Reconciliation Committee led by PDJT that assesses every act of the ineligible and illegal usurper Administrations of Zero and Joke to determine which will fall and which will stand upon his authority as the only Constitutionally legal and valid President elected since 2004.
To be expanded to identify and nullify every Communist inspired and abetting Amendment, Law, Statute, Agency, and Executive Order that has distorted our Republic and subverted the will of the people and granted power to our enemies.
Restore the Republic!!
Instead of blithely repeating this, how about sharing/exploring in detail exactly HOW this would happen, cause I believe its a chicken little, manipulative false narrative.
I think Hanlon’s Razor applies here.
👉Some may apply Hanlon’s Razor as it’s “incompetence” rather than “malice” or “conspiracy”.👈
👉✋️⚠️That’s a possible application but in regards to the lust for power and money 💰 it’s always appropriate to see 👀 the big picture 📸 in regards to the uniparty. Just look at their actual voting 🗳 records, their application of antiConstitutional power 🔋 and their specific oppression of President Donald J Trump, the J6ers and our Constitutional Republic Citizens 👈.
Never ascribe to incompetence and unintended consequence, that which is rightly the product of malice and intent.
Dutchmans razor.
Copy that 👌 👍 dutchman.
👉 “Dutchmans razor” 👈
It aired the American People’s Grievance’s. DC is still not listening. If our boarder, fiscal polices and foreign wars spending do not change PDJT will not matter. Just exposed more of the rot.
There is a reason we now have laws categorized as ‘hate’ crimes….
Mike Johnson is a wimp, a fraud, a hypocrite and a Zionist stooge. He gets his legislative priorities passed because Democrats support him. That’s why he pushes legislation that benefits Democrats to the detriment of his constituents, his party and his country. He will turn out to be worse than McCarthy, Ryan or Boehner if he lasts that long.
Our southern border is still wide open while Republican Congresscritters obsess over Almighty Israel and a stupid war Ukraine cannot win. These losers are still passing omnibus spending bills that give Democrats everything they want while piling up massive Federal debt. On top of all that they are reauthorizing FISA 702 so their enemies can continue to spy on us (and Trump) illegally.
The tragic truth is that Republicans are controlled opposition and have no intention of restoring the constitutional republic we are entitled to. Choosing the lesser of two evils still gets you to the same place, just a little bit slower.
100%
” Choosing the lesser of two evils”…. is exactly how we got here so let’s keep doing it because it is so effective! Yeah, more of the same.
I don’t know that is any slower with the GOP in control. Dems always get what they want anyway.
Democrats taking the Speakership now would not be in their best interests — the Left immediately would demand legislation to block Trump which will add fuel to the fire to vote not only for Trump but Republicans down ballot. Their plan IMO, is to work under the radar to take the House and (by any cheating necessary) and, should Trump win, impeach based on a NYC felony conviction. This will give the Republicans in the Senate all the leverage the Uni Party needs to keep Trump away from any reforms, revenge or turning back the immigration tide.
The play options, of the Uniparty of sewer dwellers in DC, “in the unlikely event” (now more likely) is obvious and has been for several years ar least.
Investigations, Impeachments to remove him or at least hamstring him, starting on day one.
And, because its obvious, the COUNTER to such moves is EAQUALLY obvious; it is NOT 64D chess, its basic board positioning.
Choose an Insurance policy VP, one that so terrifies the enemies, that they are dissuaded from pursueing ANY path to removal from office.
And I find it very hard to believe our VSG hasn’t figured this out, long ago.
Excellent conclusion.
Trump/Lake 2024
Retribution
Restoration.
The Republic Must Rise!!
“Choose an Insurance policy VP, one that so terrifies the enemies, that they are dissuaded from pursuing ANY path to removal from office.”
Exactly what I have been saying. This is the one election where the VP selection is extremely important and relevant.
Who?
Jefferies will not be elected Speaker with a Republican majority, even with just a one seat majority. Johnson is worse than a RINO, he’s a quisling.
He’s compromised.
He enjoys being subservient to Jeffries. It’s clear he has some weird beliefs/fetishes.
I think that both Johnson and McCarthy took that position intending to keep their promises. Then one of two possibilities happened: The FBI/CIA/deep state showed them what secrets they had on them and told them if they didn’t cooperate they would spend the rest of their lies in jail or commit suicide. OR, they show them real data, real classified data that shows we are all f&@$ed and the only thing preventing Armageddon, nuclear war, great depression 2.0 is to continue to kick that can down the road and cover everything up print money and don’t let an honest man get elected as president. Both are likely and either one is scary as hell.
If our Founding Fathers were of the ilk our leaders and representatives are today (PDJT the exception), well, we wouldn’t have any Founding Fathers. We’d be British citizens.
“We’d be British citizens”
I think you meant to say we would still be SUBJECTS of the royal jackass King Chucky.
Exactly 💯 💯 Spooky
👉”we would still be SUBJECTS”👈
The bad thing is that there is longevity in Dopey Chuck’s bloodline: The Queen Mother Elizabeth, mum and dad all lived into their 90s (101 for the Queen Mum). Even with Charlie’s recent cancer diagnosis.
Or they cut him in for a piece of the action.
McCarthy wouldn’t be a saboteur if his motives were pure.
Sequoia Cap(China) was one of, if not his biggest contributors.
There must be family dirt on Johnson’s family, or else he is just a fraud.
So no one sees this as a vote to expose the RINO-Uniparty? Not to mention the 11 abstentions on both sides? Who has control of the RNC? Trump? What does the RNC do? Hand out money, yes? Could the RNC not flip like it did when Mc Turtle decide to not fund MAGA candidates? Could we not in turn not fund RINO’s? OR we do fund them, however their votes are MAGA all the time. If they waiver they become a target for the next cycle. We can’t fix leftists terrorist areas, we can fix our own side.
Barry Moore is NOT a rino.
This was an effort to win the battle and lose the war.
The speaker is a schmuck but he’s our schmuck and we need to stick with what we got for the rest of this term then bounce him out.
“McCarthy is an umprincipled HOOR, but he’s OUR unprincipled HOOR!”
Gee, Bill have you heard about Lucy, Charlie Brown and the football?
Why pick on McCarthy? What about Boehner? Ryan? Frankly, not a Gingrich fan but he seemed a tad bit better than the others.
The Charlie Brown analogy to the GOP voters rocks!
I agree with what MTG and her supporters are thinking, (if I’m reading them right).
I agree that Mike Johnson has wound up folding like a cheap suit and we may as well have a Democrat- for all the good he’s done for us.
This is not okay, we should not be made to tolerate this, especially so early in his speakership.. If he pulls this crap now, what the heck is in store?? (dare we think).
I also agree with their thinking that ‘we must do something.”
We cannot just sit here on our asses anymore and complain.. there needs to be action, there needs to be the creation of a genuine opposition movement that actually does something!
We simply cannot carry on in the way that has brought us to where we are.
I believe that this group of people is perhaps thinking this way.. trying to be agents are real change to grow this sort of long overdue accountability.
BUT having said all this, I certainly understand the risk involved, given where we’re at today and how high the stakes are.
It’s a bit like trying to rebuild the cart as it’s barreling down the mountain.. the idea is good but the timing is not.
Sometimes things need to get messy in order to accomplish something..
There is no way that were going to take back control of our country without be forced to watch some sausage making.
I’m left being conflicted on this one.. seeing the issue, the attempted solutions, and the risks involved.
👉👉I agree with you in that “messy” analysis except it’s already very “messy”. 👈👈
⚠️Barry Sotero “Hope and Change” and all the globalist parasites are at one end of the see-saw and President Donald J Trump is at the other end.
He’s still making room on his side for those willing to join with him, and it will continue to get “messy”.👍👌
If it takes a mess to get change here, then bring on the mess!
I agree.
There is no neat and clean way we’re going to get out of this.
If you accept Congress is just one big UniParty working together to stop MAGA (which it is) then it all makes more sense and its much easier to anticipate their next move.
At least there was an effort
MTG is not acting as some secret agent for MAGA. Mike Johnson has revealed himself as a pathetically weak House Speaker and worse than McCarthy which I didn’t think possible. But the effort to oust him should have waited until after the presidential election to avoid chaos in the caucus. The fact that Democrats unanimously supported him is proof to me that they find him easy to control.
It is odd that demonrats didn’t pool together to see if they could vacate. Admittedly, MTG was playing with fire….and she could have been quite buried, but maybe it was a sort of round about way to see where GOPrick RINOrats stood. Since everyone knew the possible result being dem controlled house maybe it was to show the ones who wanted to vacate are the super definite RINOrats. The ones who said no, perhaps can be swayed on important issues.
There was -0- “Danger” of the House ‘flipping’ to Democrat control, unless one or more Republicons votes for a Democrat Speaker, ..and that would violate a cardinal rule;
NEVER do anything to openly expose the true nature of the Uniparty.
Notice how much of their energies, during hearings are devoted to reinforcing the illusion that its DEM vs REPS, ….IN ORDER TO mask the reality that its really Uniparty, both Dems and Reps, vs the American people?
OPENLY exposing the truth is something they work hard to avoid.
MTG running unopposed in her primary May 21! Good. I don’t want her to lose to a darn democrat. So I hope cool heads prevail at ballot box even if MTG is hot headed at times.
Also, I believe the primary is where we must deal with the uni’s. I’ve already decided to vote against the R incumbent in my district. Ha, Sam Graves is still a shoe in here in MO. But one of the R guys running against him has a first name of Brandon. So LGB for me.

THIS is the game bei g played: SUPPRESS THE VOTE FOR HOUSE REPUBLICANS.
Just brilliant. NOT.
The tea party effort, in addition to forcing the Uniparty to expose itself, and events since (the 2022 election, for instance) should make it clear the that NO, MAGA will NOT be able to overcome RINOS by primarying them,…without first removing RINOS controlling elections (like Richer and Gates in Maracopa) and that means FIRST removing the RINOS that control State R parties.
State Party chairs are beholden to the Executive Committee, that can vote them out at any time, so fighting to get a MAGA State Chair is largely a pyhric victory.
The Executive committee RINOS can recruit splitters and funnel unlimited amounts of $ and support to the RINO, while withholding it from the MAGA candidate.
THIS, rather than abortion is why WE, MAGA did so poorly in the 2022 midterms.
Thing is, these Executive Committee members are ALSO ELECTED, at State Conventions, and so they CAN be voted out.
Thank you for outlining a solid mission; one which will take time but is essential to returning balance. 👍
Time and committment. These Uniparty Rinos sitting on the Executive Committees have modtly been there for 30+ years, they are ENTRENCHED, dug in and will fight like the devil to retain their hold on power.
Dislodging and unseating THEM, and replacing with MAGA is the most crucial step to insuring transparently free and fair elections, and gaining MAFA control of State Government SO THAT Extreme Federalism can be employed to cut the bloated Fed giverment down to size.
I believe my state MO’s R party just elected a new chairperson and all delegates to convention are MAGA.
Gateway Pundit did a story on the fight. We didn’t get our amendments to the Republican platform addressed tho.
Right now, we are watching the splitter strategy play out in a 7B ID state race. New entrant was getting traction and last wk. we had a new entry that split the vote of the new entrant. When the splitter was asked directly: “People in Boise wanted me to run.”
They have very effectively protected themselves against the primary system knowing full well that the baby boomers are so heavily vested in the R/D system that once an incumbent makes it past the primaries the election is effectively over.
The uniparty want a civil war, WE need a revolution!
I disagree that thats what the Uniparty wants,…
They benefit by creating the ILLUSION of chaos, as they can conduct operations masked by the illusion, think J6.
Under the ILLUSION of chaos, some very specific, planned operations were being carried out.
Actual CW is CHAOS, and the outcome is never certain.
They would benefit from the ILLUSION of a CW, but NOT the reality, and they know it.
Simple really… optics. If the Dems get back in control now they will have visible control and the expectation to produce on all of their many, many promises. They are perfectly content operating from behind Johnson for now with the added benefit of fundraising off of it.
Astute point. When they were in control, they were getting push from their base, to repeal the fillibuster rule, so they could push thru all of what is percieved to be the leftist agenda.
This would have exposed them, by taking away any excuse for NOT.
So, they put up legislation to rescind the fillibuster rule, and at the same time a $700 billion omnibus spending bill.
Then Manchin and Synema channelled Collins/Murcowski and voted (as instructed by leadership) against both bills, muddying the water as to why.
1-2 months later the spending bill was ressurected with a few changes (nobody noticed they never brought up the rescind the fillibuster, again!) and the spending bill passed.
Reality is the Uniparty leadership relies on the odious Fillibuster rule, to maintain the illusion, and control.
So, the country bankrupt importing an army to kill rape steal and (no one) (no one) doing anything about it! Having another spinless sellout as RinocratRat leadership in the House ( look at the smug face on that Rat), how is that good for Trump, How is that so?
If you have not noticed, we have DemonRat leadership in the House. Calling it the Uniparty is saying there are NO Conservative Republicans in the House or Senate at this time! Congress is run by the Tyrannical force of the Oligarchy.
Hoping for our elections being the answer to our problems is propaganda of the naive.
Maybe the dims fundraising is working so well as the minority party that they don’t want to be the majority party just yet.
Remove them from the house by voting out!
Cut the crap Johnson, and represent the Republican voters instead of Democrats and erstwhile socialistRinos!
Both Bannon and Charlie Kirk appear to support MTG. Kirk raised the salient point that Hakeem Jeffries most certainly exacted a price in his support of Johnson. If he wasn’t before, Speaker Johnson now is undoubtedly compromised.
These people excel at showboating and wasting time.
I’m not in MTG or Massie’s districts however when I vote for someone I don’t expect them to win all the time but I do expect them to fight. Johnson has broken every promise he has made, most of all on closing the border before any money is approved. He has give Biden everything he’s asked for and the border is still wide open. I know you have to be more strategic when voting on replacing the Speaker but sometimes you have to call the baby ugly.
I listened to MTG present all the reasons for removing Mike Johnson. They are quite compelling and I appreciate her putting them out there in summary. God knows we would not hear this summary from Fox News or any other “conservative media” outlet. That said, I’m with PDJT removing Johnson now is not prudent. But I am open to another time after the election.
I think it’s very clear that Johnson is not the Speaker MAGA or Conservatives need to push the Trump agenda forward. He has shown that his principles are not solid and he’s simply naive on the issues and skills that are critical for saving America.
Wow. I’m just getting back into CTH, Trump, all of it.
Never heard Speaker Johnson hold presser or communicate in general.
Wow. What an impressive guy when it comes to conveying his message clearly. I like him. I bet quite a few unhappy Democrats do as well.
That’s my take. Good stuff from the Speaker.
I don’t wonder about Massie, he’s a never-Trumper and a charlatan, but MTG still has a chance at political greatness.
Massie voted against aid to Ukraine, against the FISA renewal and against the unconstitutional HR 6090 censorship bill. He’s the best member of congress.
Says you; I don’t doubt he has fans, I’m not in that camp nor his District.
This entire shirt-show is just another Ugly that adds to The Big Ugly.
The only thing, the only thing this does is to expose the uniparty.
And what IS “the Big Ugly”?
To me, it is to effect a compete, irrevocable split between the Republican base, and the RINO, Country Club, Rockerfeller/Bush/Chaney Republicans that have maintained operational control over the Republican party, since they “joined together” with the newly formed Republican party and stopped calling themselves “Whigs”.
So, a VERY long time coming! It IS confronting our abusers, recognising them for what they are (hence ‘exposure’ is GOOD!) understanding HOW they keep us ‘on the reservation’ (“vote R, straight ticket even if you have to hold yer nose, cause the D is worse!”) and committing that no matter how difficult it is, you DO NOT exit an abusive relationship, by “putting it off until after Christmas” i.e. “until after the elections” because there will ALWAYS be lots of excuses, to stay with our abusers.
The Big ugly is waiting till the SOB comes home drunk, beats you and passes out, then you tie em to the bed, and set it on fire on your way out the door.
And no, legal niceties like restraining orders are NOT the way to go, following the rules with an abuser will get you killed.
This shows that there are very few pro-America reps in the House.
Johnson is a wimp as are most Republicans. When the Anti-Americans are in power, they bludgeon their opponents.
Republicans don’t do squat and hand the dagger to the enemy.
All we hear, is “the timing isn’t right “ or “this sets us up better to do xyz later” “we’ll get ‘em next time”
Always an excuse. Always a reason not to act. Silly committee hearings. Letters to nowhere.
Nothing. Ever. Happens.
Ever.
So I’m happy to have at least one bomb thrower who is willing to stand up and at least try. Willing to call out a leader who has lied repeatedly and sold out those who elected this majority. At least she made an effort.
Strange, but telling your base to go pound sand does not seem wimpy to me. In fact, it seems to indicate some strength…. just not on the things we would like. Truth is, we fundamentally disagree with our “representatives” and they need to be removed from these seats so people who like Americans can take their place.
As much as I think Johnson needs taken out with the trash … in our particular scenario it has the potential to easily get worse real quick if he is removed. Best to just ride it out and kick him in the nuts at every opportunity.
Most of the same Republicans who support Johnson will be in office after the election… and ready to sabotage Trump. It’s best that they be exposed.
Just like the only way Jeffries could become Speaker, the only way there could be legislation to block Trump from office is with Republican complicity – i.e. Republican votes to make it happen. The Democrats can not do it without Republican votes.
No excusing Republican failure.
MTG. The AOC of the R’s.
It is hard to get worked up over what ever Margie Greene and et al are trying to do by removing the Feckless Mike Johnson when 11 REPUBLICANS abstain from voting on HR 7109, that addressed allocating Representation in Congress and thereby the ELECTORAL COLLEGE based on population of LEGAL CITIZENS.
Also, while the feckless Johnson continues to allow an open US border, send money to the Ukraine, allow 100’s of J6 defendants to be tortured in DC Gulags, cut 1-sided bad deals with the Democrats, negotiate power sharing in the House with Hakeem Jefferies, et al
The Uni-party is going to Uni-Party no matter who is the speaker.
Agreed we can’t get upset. I agree this unmasking is very healthy.
AMEN … I agree completely. They are USELESS and why some want to cover up for this is astonishing. AFTER all we have done to keep President Trump, many want to just hand over the speakership to a fool who is in a co sponsorship with the DemmyCrats. It is ABUSE
My two cents (for what it’s worth) is this…
This event is proof that things are so out of control and so close to a collapse at the Federal level that the entire Uniparty is just flailing about trying to keep their heads above water.
My feeling is that two different plans by different wings ran aground today… one seeking to give the Dems control so President Trump could be legislated off the November ballots… and another seeking to tie the the Republicans to the inevitable economic crash later this year by keeping them in charge of the purse… and one side or the other lost the memo.
Remember; Donald Trump was long ago supposed to have been knocked out and a controlled GOPe-in-MAGA-clothing type (see DeSantis) to replace Biden (a disposable one-term weapon for inflicting as much damage as possible) with the illusion for the masses that elections still worked and the rule of law was still mostly intact.
Just the indictments and FBI would have tanked anyone else. Any other Republican would have folded their Presidential bid right there and cut a deal. But President Trump didn’t. He fought back, his support increased, he locked up the nomination virtually overnight, and now all the cases are falling apart and are looking ever more nakedly political even to those not especially paying attention.
Throw into that mix that Plan B (to have Biden step aside) has also blow up in their faces because Team Biden doesn’t want to step aside, all their other potential candidates self-immolated, and their insane base won’t let them skip over Kamala (who is even LESS popular) because she’s a black woman and they’re literally stuck with Biden.
Their midwit/first-stage thinker brains also were incapable of imagining that Putin would not have lost by now… they were supposed to be at the bait-and-switch from war to “reconstruction” funding in their criminal Ukrainian money-laundering operation and color revolutions across Russia providing new resources to plunder. Instead they’ve got yet another massively unpopular Forever War they have to keep feeding lest they run out of money to bribe/blackmail people with.
On top of thar… the too-clever-by-half sociopathic oligarch crowd (Soros, Gates, et al) can’t let go of their perpetual Revolution mentality long enough to keep from agitating Pro-Terror groups in the US into criminal displays that mean the Dems risk losing significant voting blocks if they don’t thread the needle on Israel/Hamas while turning voters off even further.
Pile onto that the consequences of ignoring reality on Inflation and Illegal Invasion and Crime, the truth of the Clot Shot finally hitting critical mass, and Trans-nuttery revealing itself as an open assault on women and children and its all spinning into chaos.
There is no grand plan by the Uniparty/Blob now… all the heads of the hydra are flailing about with what were plans at some point and coming to cross purposes because reality is refusing to cooperate with their unreality.
President Trump and MAGA is going to have one hell of a mess to pick up.
I agree with much of your take, overall and that they are flailing, throwing stuff against the wall and hoping something will stick, their desperation and flop sweat is palpable.
20-20 hindsight is a wonderful thing. I was all in favor of the McCarthy removal. Looking back, however, I can now see it was nothing more than the Republican wing of the Uni-Party emotionally sating their base. The initiative was lost when the holdouts to McCarthy originally obtaining the Speaker’s gavel caved in and either bought in (paid off?) to the lies they were told, or all of that was theater as well.
The Uni-Party has one goal: Keep Trump out of the Oval Office. Lawfare is failing. Keeping him off the ballot in states has been slapped down by SCOTUS. They are running out of options. This latest attempt to remove a Speaker has all the earmarks of the first removal: Emotional reaction to being betrayed by the base. So-called MAGA/AF Reps responding by shouting “we must remove the Speaker!” No name proffered, nor no REAL leader emerging, who they could present as a replacement. RINOs and Dems standing united to protect the Speaker, and no real plan in place for succession. It’s political theater. And I’m so sick of it.
enjoyed reading your common sense comment, RC.
slight addition, if i may – yes, it’s political theater, but with a purpose, i.e. “stop Trump”.
in fact, quite awe inspiring to see the amount of effort being put into fractionalizing PT supporters.
this thread is a doozy of an example – anything to stir up dissension and get us fighting among ourselves
(“mtg & km – did they or didn’t they?” on the next maury!)
considering things are guaranteed to get a whole lot worse unless we get PT elected (when the REAL fight begins),
we’re gonna have to wade through a whole lot more manure from here on out and deal with it.
but, we have a world class CIC in PT, so let’s take our cue from chain of command.
(please note: i am not saying go blind, i am saying take notes but defer to PT.
what you think are strategic errors may or may not be.
neither you nor i are privy to that which PT knows,
and neither you nor i are in a position to take macro action if things go FUBAR.)
the agenda posters are commandeering entire threads now, and they are very good at what they do.
easy to get sucked in to the prevailing commentary, but step outside the carefully orchestrated echo chamber
and what do you see?
they are focused like a laser on stopping “orange man” before, during, and after the election, in any way they can.
are you focused on them or on getting PT reelected?
it hasn’t been fun to think of how many “conservatives” you wanted to trust,
perhaps did trust, and who were exposed as collaborators to a much different agenda.
sad to see, but don’t let it throw you off course.
we must coalesce and get PT past the fraud.
hard to do sometimes for the rugged individuals who populate our ranks, but we can only win if we do.
peace, love, and harmony….well, only to MAGA.
the rest can go….(fill in your favorite invective here!😂)
Aren’t the same arguments AGAINST this move by MTG and Massie, the same arguments that were mafe against Gaetz, when he motioned to vacate?
What I find interesting is the lawyer who came forward about speaking with Eregon (sp?)
Weird timing, it’s almost as if they want it tossed for stupids reasons, same with the train wreck Stormy testifying and the Avenatti letter.
The FL case is imploding, Jack likely to lose in some fashion in front of SCOTUs, Fanni refusing to testify, Eregon talking to attorney about the PDJT case (even if only touching the surface) and Stormy getting pounded in court (I couldn’t resist) – it’s almost as if they know the farce is up. Let PDJT win and let him try to navigate the worse economy in decades: all unbiased non-political government agency will simply quit trying to prop up the economy and paint the numbers being worse than they actually are (as opposed to better than they are as reported now).
Dems not wanting to oust him is very, very interesting.
There is no need for them to do so right now, they are getting everything they want on their wish list.
I always defer to Sundance, he’s got the best track record and the miles to show it.
If I were to hazard a guess, it would be to perhaps tick folks off even more & make any remaining sleepyheads see how utterly & hopelessly corrupt the current government is. 🤷🏻♀️
Haven’t we seen enough?!
Optics for re-election. Unless she is really that stupid, she knew the motion to vacate would go absolutely nowhere seeing as how there was next to zero vocal support among house Rs.
This is all to placate her base.
Had they vacated, it would have been disastrous.
Yeah, this whole thing is just really weird….strange. At this point you’re left wondering….is it them that are really that dumb, or is it that they think we’re really that dumb? Hard to know….
