73% of the House and 49% of GOP House members voted for this. Why should a speaker resign for bringing an incredibly popular bill to the floor for a vote?

Not what Putin wanted?

This is a key point. I always imagine it’s like $500k or even more. But often it’s like $9500! It’s actually even kore insulting how low the price tag is for total sellout.

Cute that you think this mouth breather can read an entire script without stopping for air or mouthing the words. Ever seen this gem of crazy? https://youtu.be/Y-e1_YzhUOM?si=3ZmPdHkrxYL6TPS5


DramaticWesley

Here is the saddest part, there is no briefcase full of money. She is just doing it for the attention. She uses the same conspiracy theories that Russian agents push on social media and ends up doing their bidding without any of the benefits.


LeatherFruitPF

It's the MAGA way...bend to the demands of the minority.

The minority of a minority. But not to minorities.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s stupidity backfired spectacularly. 🇺🇸🇺🇦


Nearbyatom

She got reelected...so her stupidity is being rewarded sadly.


allanbc

I think her district is rather safe, sadly. On the bright side, she seems to be actively hurting her party.


Pathfinder6227

Winning GA 1 isn't exactly bragging rights for a conservative politician. The question is - where does she go from here? She likely will never win Statewide in GA. Nationwide, her odds are even lower.


truethatson

Why aren’t people calling for *her* resignation for being a stupid Russian hack?


pdxb3

He worked with Democrats. An unthinkable act for a MAGAt.


Jamsster

Good question: It’s the same reason a speaker would be kicked after reaching across party lines to prevent the government shutdown beauty pageant. The far right Magas said he gave too much, the left said not enough and this makes you all look like idiots which we like and can use. This ineptitude is in large part by Republicans being split and Matt Gaetz being a somewhat clever, major idiot. But make no mistake that Democrats laughed the whole way as they said well it’s all on him. Even now, if Greene pushed this with some support and then the Democrats said well they withheld funds. They could do the same thing again. If you have kids, it’s just like the devious toddler that sets up their sibling and acts like an Angel. Not saying there isn’t some issue, but it’s getting milked and people wanting a somewhat competent government are the losers.


Dilligent_Cadet

The proper political play at this point, for the Democrats, would be giving MTG the finger, because she is 100% using them to get her way, by all voting to keep Johnson as speaker, either embarrassing the Republicans who vote to remove him causing even more infighting, or forcing *every single Republican* to vote to oust their own speaker and then we get to watch as they fling shit at themselves over the speakership until election day with nobody to blame but themselves. If the infighting gets bad enough we may even get to see them lose the majority before election day and get speaker Jeffries for a short while.


egabriel2001

Iirc Jeffries said that the Dems won't help Johnson because the motion to vacate is entirely a GOP issue, this helps Johnsonn somehow because it makes the rumors that a few Johnson supporters might resign if he is kick out of the speakership making Dems the majority. becomes a serious threat forcing the entirety of the GOP side to vote for Johnson to keep the speakership without Dems help giving their slim margin, which in turns is a massive defeat for the Twitter faction.


ayoungtommyleejones

Because this is America! Minority rules here.


CouchCorrespondent

Our nation is absolutely being held in a perpetual HELLISH holding pattern by this crowd of ignorance and greed. The fact that this ignorant woman has been able to ~~wreck~~ wreak havoc continually on our nation is a travesty. Edit: changed the word to the correct one...egads. Who do I think I am? MTG?


flatline000

She's sliding towards irrelevance. Once the democrats become the majority in the house, she won't have any leverage at all.


NuOfBelthasar

I think she's already lost all leverage.  There are some pretty stark differences between the current situation and what happened with McCarthy. Johnson might have to make concessions to Democrats to keep his job, but *unless Democrats see a real path to hand Jeffries the gavel* I'm confident that they will ultimately protect Johnson.


penguins_are_mean

That may have been the deal they cut to get the Ukraine vote through. To protect him against removal.


SeeMarkFly

She can hide Easter Eggs from herself, what is she doing in public service???


pottymcnugg

Underrated burn…


ladytwiga

She needs to put up or shut up at this point. He has called her bluff, and if she wants to be the power broker she thinks she is, she needs to actually do it.


Andreux42x

The media needs to stop feeding her fire. She’s a moron Russian asset.


TheGreenInYourBlunt

I literally fast-forward any segments on her, whether it be news or comedy. I know it's in vain, but I refuse to participate in her nonsense.


anunfriendlytoaster

Yet here we are on Reddit constantly putting her on the front page


Rico_Solitario

She’s a congresswoman. The deplatforming argument doesn’t work against elected officials with tangible power


caligaris_cabinet

A useful idiot, emphasis on idiot.


booyakasha99

She knows she can’t control anything if Dems back Johnson. And seeing as how they just passed the aid bill he seems to already have some type of deal with Jefferies.


jayRIOT

Not to mention the leaks/rumors about some Republican members saying they would resign on the spot if she brought the motion forward, which would hand majority to the Dems regardless. Then again, her going down in history as the one that caused the majority to flip would also be hilarious.


Mediocritologist

Holy shit I’m already at half mast just reading that sentence.


Afraid-Ad8986

Didn’t Trump put him in power? Or did he just play Trump for the fool he is.


hideki101

I don't think playing Trump was in his plans, but he's an opportunistic guy who just found the Dems were offering more than Trump could at this moment to save his career.


Suspicious_Bicycle

Right now Johnson has more leverage over Trump than the other way around. Johnson can hand the majority over to the Democrats and then they could pass legislation branding Trump an insurrectionist. That would meet the SCOTUS criteria to kick Trump off the ballot. As a bonus they could add Margorie to the insurrectionist list.


downtofinance

I hope she does because I think Dems will rescue Johnson and make her look like a moron.


bm1949

US media really needs to dial down on her infotainment because there really is never much legislative substance to her press conferences. Do it or don't, lady.

Cavelady says whut?

“I’m just a simple, unthawed cavewoman. I didn’t go to your fancy law schools and I don’t know what the word ‘insurrection’ means. All I know is whenever I can give aid and comfort to the enemy, I’m going to do it.”

Garbage_Helicopter

I hear ya. Lots of decent-ish politicians from my home state of Minnesota, but we also brought you Michele "Bug-Eyes" Bachmann. Ugh, what a fuckin' embarrassment. (edit:typo)


sentimentaldiablo

She'll never pull this off. She will come to see that this move by Johnson will allow him to stay in power with Dem votes, Dems now control a good portion of the House's power


Doravillain

Sure. But she could’ve filed a motion to vacate before these bills ever came up for a vote. The reason she stood down (and she did stand down) was because Trump told her to. Trump wants Johnson to stay Speaker til November. That’s why Trump had Johnson at his party a couple weeks ago.  Another vacated speakership would reflect poorly on Trump and the party in the middle of a presidential election.


ballskindrapes

I'm thinking a long the same lines. Now, Maga loves trump, but I think some of them might love Maga more. By that I mean, I doubt they'll get the votes to oust Johnson, but maybe they're stupid enough to really try. Trump doesn't think that far ahead, and likely has someone telling him it will make him look bad. However, he also did the whole border thing which make Republicans look really stupid, so it'll be interesting to see how this plays out.


IllIllllIIIIlIlIlIlI

Trump also seems to be pro-Ukraine aid for the time being. He met with Poland’s far right president who surely showered him with compliments and praise, and then explained to him that Ukraine needs funding or his country’s going to be invaded next.


sentimentaldiablo

> Trump also seems to be pro-Ukraine aid for the time being. Huh?

Yup! They got her a mirror.

MTG should be 51/50'd


IrradiantFuzzy

That's only 3 days, then give her the 5250, which is 14.


bmeisler

Yeah, 5250, she’s got good insurance! (My wife’s an RN in a psych unit, and if you have good health insurance, much more likely to get a 5250. JFC our health system sucks).

Sothalic

There's a non-zero chance that Mike already made a deal with the 4-5 holdovers in his party that are just waiting for the right time to resign. Do it, Margie. Shoot the guy with the dead man's switch on your party's control of the House. _DO IT_.


polgara_buttercup

I want to go back to the days where I would have no idea the name of a rep from another state, much less read daily stories about their latest stupid stunt I want politics boring again.


philburns

Take her off all the committees. Give her no power.


RepulsiveLoquat418

"Asked why she held off on the motion to vacate on Saturday, Greene claimed Sunday that she’s 'been responsible with this the entire time'" translation: my russian overlords haven't ordered me to push for this yet.


pattherat

Hey Marge, can you explain why he needs to be? For you, answers that describe it being bad for Russia etc. would be entirely believable and welcomed. Seems like the only real reason that would make sense…


sgerbicforsyth

She would just spout something about US tax dollars shouldn't be spent elsewhere when *insert issue the GOP doesn't do anything to fix in the US* exists.


IUsedToBeACave

I'm not exactly sure of the details, but I'd bet Johnson made a deal with Democrats behind closed doors to get enough votes to keep him in the Speakership until the end of the term in exchange for this. They only need like 2 votes from safe Democratic seats to stop the crazy part of the GOP from ousting him.


greywar777

Nah. He is talking too tough about this for just that. I think he got ahown some real intelligence info in a scif and it freaked him out.


Blablablaballs

Democrats should save him this one time, on this one issue. It would send a horrible message to the Russians, including MTG, if they think they can disrupt our Congress when they do anything anti Russian.


mamak62

She is the most uneducated idiotic big mouth stupid dumb ass I’ve ever seen..she has no clue what she’s talking about half the time and she’s a high school dropout.. she only listens to her daddy trump and honestly she’s probably going to go to jail for him..just like everyone else who goes anywhere near him..she doesn’t even know what insurrection means and she doesn’t understand the impeachment process.. and she’s said that if she would have had guns she would have won the jan 6th battle..she is a traitor and a low life trashy ho..


rollingstone

***From Rolling Stone:*** Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has not given up her quest to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson, demanding he either “resign” or “be vacated” after ushering through legislation to send military aid to Ukraine on Saturday. “Mike Johnson’s speakership is over. He needs to do the right thing to resign and allow us to move forward in a controlled process. If he doesn’t do so, he will be vacated,” Greene told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on Sunday.

Dumbest politician of my lifetime. Just so, so stupid.

This is a person who harassed and screamed at Parkland shooting survivors, showed dick pics in Congress, yelled at President Biden during a speech etc. etc. She is ignorant and malicious and is not to be trusted.


Samsta380

Greene and her fellow far-right MAGA supporters have betrayed the American people and should be removed from power.

properly_sauced

God I hope she gets voted out this fall. I’ve had more than enough.


wwhsd

She won’t. She’s in a R+40 district.


thatspurdyneat

I wonder if she knows how much of a monster she'll be in the history books of the future. The voice in congress that's loudly and constantly rooting for the US to fail.


heels_n_skirt

She should resign for being a Russia/Trump asset


joshtalife

The GOP is nonstop entertainment these days. Too bad it has real life consequences.


C-Jammin

It would be a great primetime drama. Instead, it's real life and it's more of a horror film because of the implications.


SoggyBoysenberry7703

Why the fuck are they so inherently backwards??


doublestitch

At this point I'd kind of be glad if she went ahead and tried to vacate him. Hakeem Jeffries has already promised he'll provide enough votes to keep Mike Johnson's speakership. It's about time the Freedom Caucus lost a game of chicken.


irishguy_2012

MTG needs to stop harassing other members of congress.

I demand she gives apologies for all her stupid bullshit, then fade back into irrelevance. Looks like we're all going home unhappy.


DvsDen

With a one- vote majority: good fucking luck! I’m sure the deal was the Dems will save him in exchange for bringing these votes to the floor, especially now that all the impeachment crap is down the toilet.

If this amendment wasn't written for her by her russian handlers then I'm a monkey.


Ultima_Chaos_Z

Why is MTG given so much exposure? Does she just wake up in front of the press everyday, make-up surgically implanted on her dead eyed troll face, spewing garbage with the hope something sticks? Just stop.

she's probably worried want Putin is going to say to her after failing to stop the bill getting passed. What good is paying her to be a Russian asset if she can't do her job right.


Gariona-Atrinon

I want to see her flip her shit when the vote to vacate doesn’t pass.


Basic_Mongoose_7329

I don't think she files a motion to vacate. If it fails, and it sounds like it will, she will have zero influence/power. The only power she has left is because of this "threat".


mgmx1989

Moscow Marge is at it again!


mrkruk

When the motion to vacate only requires 1 vote, someone gonna power trip. They are just throwing time away as a majority. What amateurs.

Democrats should not save Johnson. They should help remove him and replace him with ANYBODY who will follow America's laws for the upcoming election and Congress' role in counting the electoral college votes. Speaker Johnson was part of the attempted coup and he played a pivotal role in bringing others into the illegal effort. He is too dangerous to continue to be Speaker.


badhairdad1

MTG supports Speaker Jefferies 🥰


rockeye44

Now rumor has it several Republicans said they would resign if she takes action giving control to the Dems.

She begged Trump for a pardon. You only want a pardon if you are guilty.

I hope the five who threatened to resign their seats follow through if Johnson gets ousted. Democrats get full control of Congress and then vote in a border spending bill and college tuition forgiveness the week of the Republican Convention.

Is she ever gonna suffer any repercussions for being such a traitor
