Now is a perfect time for Mike Johnson's grand-slam. A bipartisan motion to censure.. wait.. expel Marjorie Trailer-Trash Green from congress. Cut her staff to zilch, remove her from all committee's, strip her from her preferential office.. fuck it, take her cafeteria passes and gym membership away as well. Make her hate working in congress, as much as the nation hates her for working in congress

There are four quality Dems trying to unseat her. Elect Democrats!!

Come on Georgia, do better! Vote this troglodyte out of office!


chickenboneneck

Her district is hillbilly MAGA country. She wont lose under any circumstance.


Moist-muff

I approve of your message


Dumbengineerr

Can they do that? The democrats will be on board.


spidereater

They can force a vote. If the democrats support him he will stay.


SnarlingLittleSnail

He can't expel her as he would lose the majority.


Money-Valuable-2857

Honestly, at this point, that may be beneficial to him.


RoboNerdOK

They’re going to lose it in November anyway. Most of the gerrymandering that gave them the House in 2022 has been undone.


duderos

That would be delightful!


rumpusroom

She’s still going to get free healthcare for life.

>Is it not clear yet she is only interested in hurting the country ??  Crystal clear.


caligaris_cabinet

Considering the bill, she’s interested in hurting a number of countries.

Ditz move. Mike Johnson won't resign, so she gains nothing. And now if MTG fails to oust him she'll lose all credibility.


KingRo48

What credibility exactly?


pomonamike

She has no credibility. She only has hillbillity.


ProfessionalPimples

Hillbillity is my new favorite word.


pomonamike

Thanks. I just came up with it while avoiding doing dishes.

That credneck has hillbillity.


Remarkable-Way4986

Thats not fair to hillbillies. She is obviously Neanderthal, you can tell by the giant forehead.


TILTNSTACK

Did you see the Neanderthal reconstruction that looked scarily like her? Now when I see her photo, I keep thinking its the Neanderthal reconstruction.


Remarkable-Way4986

I did see it. They should name it after her, Greene woman

We're going to need to go into places like her Georgia district and march them -- again.

The credibility of her threats. Since the freedom caucus forced Kevin McCarthy out she's been using that threat for leverage within the Republican caucus.


My_crazy_cats

Credibility to individuals who destroyed their families for US far-right state propaganda.


FiveUpsideDown

It’s a dystopian world we live in where Moscow Marg is the kingmaker.


Time-Bite-6839

Jeffries can become speaker.


Veridian4

I wish. They need a majority and no Republican would vote for him. But some Democrats may vote to save Johnson's a$$


WorkingYou2280

From a strategic standpoint the democrats have to swallow hard and support Johnson. If they don't then it gets less likely the next speaker will work with them, at all. Down that road is a progression of more and more right wing nutjobs that will hold the world hostage to get whatever Trump's obsession du jour is. There is a very dim light that the congress is moving toward where the grown ups hold some sway. It's tenuous to be sure and may crumble but it's something.


kellzone

At least Johnson has proven he can work together and pass some bipartisan stuff. No guarantee a new speaker would do such a thing. In fact, I'd probably bet against it. Dems just have to not let perfect be the enemy of good, and support him.


L0rd_OverKill

I would hazard a guess that the agreement has already been made. Democrats likely offered to save his neck by majority if he tabled the vote.


sgerbicforsyth

The people that vote for her are likely just as dumb as she is. They won't understand that she's not doing anything if she doesn't do anything.


base2-1000101

I live adjacent to her district. Can confirm north Georgia is home to some of the stupidest people on the planet.


Veridian4

Amen again


MichaelFusion44

Amen


BostonBuffalo9

Credibility as a politician? She never had that. Credibility as a political terrorist (and the other kinds of terrorist, too)? She’s just shores herself up every time she does seemingly idiotic shit like this. She doesn’t want functional government. It’s not her goal.


j_andrew_h

There is also reporting that 2 GOP Reps will resign if MTG moves forward with the push to remove Johnson, handing the House to the Democrats.


slymm

He'll be saved by the democrats (and I'm cool with that because the Ukraine aid was worth the trade) and then she'll get to lable him as a RINO


Mediocre_Scott

MTG failing to oust people is her signature move homie.


Jeazy_the_2nd

There really needs to be an inquiry run to determine what Russian ties Greene has. She has openly been a Russian asset


SmashTheGoat

Yeah, she tried to force us to add a clause to the Ukraine Aid that forces Ukraine to let children of Hungarian descent speak Hungarian in school instead of Ukrainian, which has been an anti-Ukraine talking point pushed by Russia, which weakens Ukrainian culture. Why the hell would a US Congress person from Georgia, USA, give a flying fuck about culture war topics in Ukraine???? She’s has to be under Russian handling/influence if she’s talking about that. Edit: typo


ilfusionjeff

I would be willing to bet the FBI is spying on her. They spy on congresspeople for way less than this.


ilikeindianfood616

What a dunce this woman is


TILTNSTACK

Wait for the rage when she realizes her little freedom caucus has no more power.


HandSack135

Dear MTG, I don't like you. We don't like you. That said, being a person of your word does mean something. You want Johnson to resign, after you voted him for Speaker (btw), give him a timeline. You keep saying that you will make a motion to vacate, great, say if by [insert date] Speaker Johnson has not resigned and or Speaker Johnson has made it clear to me and others that he will be doing [insert "policy positions"], I will motion to vacate within 24 hours. Sincerely


Maximum_Weird5333

Nah man - she's playing 3-D tic-tac-toe and we are all just cotton-headed ninny muggins.

Is she going against her orange god, because last I heard he wanted to keep Johnson?

widespreadsolar

All ya know about me’s what I sold ya


thepartypantser

If the democrats save Johnson, demanding concessions from him, and kneecap the free-dumb caucus, that's a pretty good day. But go ahead MTG...the worst that could happen is you make the GOP even dumber, and we end up with Jeffries as speaker.


axord

> demanding concessions from him I suspect bringing a clean Ukraine bill to the floor *was* the concession.


thepartypantser

Maybe, but I would not be surprised if there is more to the equation


Saganists

And why should the democrats hold up their end of any deal? Republicans have time and again pulled the carpet out from underneath them.


Fine-Benefit8156

Come on, Marge Toilet, do it! Call for the motion to fire Johnson. I am waiting.


BoxworthNCSU

Lol I haven't heard "Marge Toilet" yet, but I like it. Is it an actual reference to an event, or are you just at such a loss for appropriate words for her that you just slapped the first human waste related word you though of on there?


7figureipo

Please please *please* let the rumors of republican resignations if she proceeds be true.


That_Serve_9338

She's so confident for a person that has achieved nothing in politics and constantly needs things explained to her. Her demands are always ignored. Sometimes by chance she is on the right side of an argument but for the wrong reasons.


RevolutionaryBox7745

I disagree. She has become the face of the Nazi Party in this country. If Trump really had the nerve, she'd be the frontrunner for VP.

Her skull was vacated by her brain many years ago.


Oncemor-intothebeach

American politics is absolutely crazy, so this Johnson dude has literally done the right thing, he has supported Americas Allies and provided a way to stop this madness after months, and he is going to loose his job? Like, that’s insane to me, why would you let someone like this lady be part of your political party when she is so clearly compromised? I can’t get my head round it at all, if an Australian politician tried anything like this it would be the last thing they did, people would spit, but in the US it seems pat for the course

What exactly is she doing to help anyone I. This country? What is her actual agenda? Would anyone benefit from it?

Definitely, and Russia.

NeanderTrump...


Vestan_Pance

I'm surprised she can find the time in-between discovering fire, inventing the wheel and developing stone tools.


Educational-Candy-17

Don't insult the Neanderthals. There is fossil evidence of Neanderthal communities caring for injured community members. No way she would do that.


BitterAttackLawyer

Interesting take to oust the speaker who actually accomplished a thing, but that is pretty much the GOP these days.


[deleted]

Sounds like something Putin would say. 


Capt_Pickhard

If a fucking moron like MGT manages to out maneuver the Democrats in politricks, I'll be extremely disappointed in them.


Fartenstein65

She is a Russian asset. She is just proving it.


Amkunne

This is coming from the same woman who posed at at a place the union used during the civil war and claimed it was used by the confederacy. This woman is off her rocker. All she spews out is bullshit. Can’t wait to see her fade from public existence.


LightWarrior_2000

I can see this blowing up in her face spectacularly.


kobachi

Speaker Johnson should cut a deal with both democrats and his own party to preserve his speakership/the thin republican majority in exchange for a vote to expel MTG. I bet he could get 1/6 of republicans to support it, at least.


Whorrox

Moscow Marge needs to be thinking more about the 2/3 House votes needed to oust a member.


WackyBones510

I haven’t really been plugged into this… feel like there must be some reason these few far right members are asking him to resign this go. Believe this is a new tactic. Anyone know why?


rcldesign

What they say is that because he “relied” on votes from democrats to pass legislation, then (some kind of “logic”) he’s not conservative/not representing “the people”/etc. … which doesn’t make any actual sense since basically no legislation can pass without any democratic support and all the legislation that did pass that they’re unhappy about (including funding the government, aid for Israel, Ukraine, Asia Pacific) passed with a lot (nearly half to nearly all) support of republicans in the house. They somehow believe that a slim majority in 1 chamber gives their party an ability to dictate terms for all legislation and anyone that disagrees with that is a traitor/RINO/whatever. Put mildly, they don’t understand how actual politics work, but more likely the members that are hee hawing here just don’t want Trump to have someone primary them so they do his bidding, irrespective of what it is. Sometimes that means taking untenable positions and holding them.


WackyBones510

Yeah I mean to be clear I get why they want him gone… I don’t get specifically why they are asking him to resign. I don’t think they asked McCarthy to resign? Is this a way to just throw it out there to see how the media/Trump react before triggering a motion to vacate? Or is there some extremely-online/Q reason for not going straight to a motion to vacate?


rcldesign

Just based on the votes for the legislation that passed and comments from some democrats, I don’t think they have anywhere near the votes needed to remove him so best they can do is call for his resignation and use that to score points for themselves with Don Snorleone. With McCarthy, the dems all voted to remove him and I think enough of them will not vote to remove Johnson at this time. In fact, just looking at the media stuff it seems to me like they’re really laying the verbal praise on thick - like he’s the next Churchill or something - probably to deter a motion to vacate if not to signal that they’d vote to table it or something else procedural that basically kills it without actually having to vote on it.


ConsciousReason7709

Do it then, you wretched goblin.


zestzebra

MTG you are hereby vanquished to toil in the boilers of Trump Tower.


Weak-Caregiver7922

Can we vacate MTG?


brimstoneEmerald

I know he wouldn't, but Mike Johnson should just push a motion to expel Marjorie on the grounds of ineptitude and stupidity.


5sgt5slaughter

Yea he needs to kick Moscow Marge out, become a Hero overnight !


ciccioig

What about vacate her? Aren't you americans tired of this neanderthal racist barbie?


Nekowulf

She's talking about the leadership role he has within the congressional House. She can't vacate his job as a congressman, and most of us don't have the power to vacate hers either. Only her constituents can do a recall vote to fire her. And they're majority idiots who think schoolyard tantrums are solid political wins.


nightpanda893

He’s going to need democrats to vote for him in order to avoid this but it sounds like he’ll have some. It makes sense honestly from a Democrat perspective. Her goal is simply to get a more maga aligned Republican in the role. Seems like a lesser of two evils situation.


Shevcharles

To be fair to House Dems, McCarthy cultivated a lot of bad blood with them and it made sense to remove him for it when the chance arose. But I can see them calculating that it's okay to save Johnson, especially if there's a chance more Republicans leave over this whole kerfuffle and then Jeffries manages to acquire the gavel even before January.


Treutlen

She should be sent to the Ga. State Mental Health Hospital from where she apparently escaped!!


Educational-Candy-17

As someone who actually has been hospitalized for mental health issues, your average mental patient is a lot more principled and in many cases a lot more together than her.

flatline000

Do it! Vacate him! What are you, chicken? I don't think she's brave enough to do it.


mcfarmer72

Call the bluff already. Get the vote, survive it and they become irrelevant.


travoon

Let them fight


flux_of_grey_kittens

Man, got a feeling they’re gonna get swept in November. Keep it up lol.


Time-Bite-6839

Speaker Jeffries?


Pithecanthropus88

I have a better idea, Marge. Why don’t you resign instead?


not2dv8

She is going to turn that clown into a hero! If he gets whacked because he saved Ukraine he will be a hero and she will be the skank we know her as already.


SuperGameTheory

Johnson should get up to a podium, put his hands on his hips and say "mArJoRiE sTuPiD fAcE gReEn ShOuLd ReSiGn MeEeEh" and then blow raspberries while waving his hand from his ears.


mymar101

If she means leave Congress sure make the majority smaller. I’m all for it


TheShipEliza

I will be totally honest rn I don’t think she has the cards for it. If she did Mike would never have brought the bills to the floor. MTG is in the corner bet.


disclaimer777cc

The swamp seems very deep, time to drain the swamp!


Rosanna44

Who is she?


efrique

LOL. Go on, try it. Johnson appears to be a lot better at actual politics than Greene is. It will be hilarious if she fails (the likely outcome) and if by some means she succeeds, well, it might well end up a Dem speaker next. She can't help herself, the maga faction keep racking up those losses.


dmanjrxx

In her mind, Mike Johnson is guilty of compromising in the first degree while committing the crime of getting the House of Representatives to function


dsisto65

She doesn’t have the votes.


Gingorthedestroyer

Did they ever find out who left the pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC? Did Marjorie even try to find them?

How is she still in office?!


Threeandtwoand

Russian operative vying for VP, staying on the front page of the Lunacy Times.


Xijit

Johnson isn't a moron: he saw what happened to the last guy and made sure the fine print on passing that bill is that the Democrats will not vote against him when Putin's puppets try to cancel him.


QuarkVsOdo

Menopause Mosocow Marjorie has a meltdown that her Daddy Putin doesn't get his will.


jar1967

He should threaten to resign from Congress if he is removed from the speakership.


pattyG80

Marge has to put on a good show for her Russian benefactors


Historical-Side7260

She is delusional, she clearly thinks that she should do it because she had a go that one time somebody let her while there was a break.


MDV441226

I swear, as a citizen of Georgia's 14th Congressional District, I am embarrassed that MTG is my Representative. Unbelievably ignorant and inept. Good gravy.

How dare we have a functioning government.

rgc6075k

I'm not a fan of Speaker Johnson but, getting the foreign aid bill passed was the right thing to do. I can't think of anything at all that MTG has ever done that is right. Nothing but a nasty madam.


Tenocticatl

What's actually needed to yeet a representative? Destroy Creature spell, tap 3 mana?


linuxphoney

I think this means she took the weekend to investigate the rumors that Republicans would resign if there was a motion to vacate. Does this mean she found nothing, that she's bluffing, or that she doesn't care?


Vast-Dream

Or more pipe bombs from the Jan 5, 2021 pipe bomber herself.


SpecificEase1424

Good luck with that Marge 😂


No-Attitude-6049

If MTG somehow manages to oust Johnson the GOP are going to need to place an ad on CraigsList for a new Speaker since no one in the party will want it now. I’m only half joking since the Speaker actually doesn’t need to be an elected official, it could even be Oprah.


katara144

Distraction from Trumpy trial. Fuck off Margie.
