Here we go again: Mags calls for new speaker vote in House

Please tell me why anyone thinks that the GOP knows how to govern

 

If it goes to a vote, It just takes like 4 Republicans to agree with her since all the dems will vote for it... Lol...

 

Further confirmation that the gop has devolved into a stinking pile of dung that is on fire.

 

Well, good. Since this Sword of Damocles has now fallen, the Speaker has no reason not to bring up the Ukraine-Israel-Taiwan bill for a vote immediately.

 

I disagree. I think he'll have enough dem support to stay.

 

Possibly. Jeffries should make that offer today: Bring the military aid packages up for a vote immediately, and we will have your back for this one vote. Next time will cost something else.

 

I don’t care as long as it gets the aid packages passed.

 

“Mags” — LOL!!

 

We certainly cant let things go unbombed

 

this is from back in Jan, so who knows.....Hopefully, there are a few reasonable folks still in DC that treat MGT like a pesky idiot

Moderate Democrats say they'd save Speaker Mike Johnson if the right tries to oust him

handful of moderate Democrats say they would be willing to save the new Republican House speaker, Mike Johnson, if hard-line conservatives move to oust him from power as they did his predecessor, Kevin McCarthy.

“Yes, we would back him,” said one senior moderate House Democrat who has been speaking with colleagues in his party.


“I probably would [support Johnson]. We can’t do another three-week standstill. As it is, we’ve got nothing done in the 118th Congress,” said another moderate Democratic lawmaker who is facing a tough re-election bid in November. “Look, he’s not my favorite person in the world, but on the other hand it’s a terrible and tough job in this Congress.”

“I would be very surprised if there aren’t a number of Democrats who would support Johnson” if conservatives try to force a vote to oust him as speaker “because I think we’re so tired of this,” the Democrat added. “As a ‘frontliner,’ I wouldn’t want to be accused by people of slowing things down.”

 

At least they are smart enough not to give their name to go on record about being terrible at politics

 

Tom Souzzi isn't. he just said he would not vote him out.

 

You gotta love the Democrats, the GOP is on the one hand a threat to democracy, but on the other, that's why we need to keep their speaker in power so we can govern with them. We must give people weapons at all costs!

 

At the very least he's going to have to agree to bring the Ukraine aid bill to the floor for a vote if he expects ANY Dem support.

 

As I stated, I have no problem with that. Sounds more than fair.

 

Yeah, much better to let Russia overrun Ukraine, then gobble up more of Europe after that. SMDH
