"It's just insanity" that there could be another push to oust a House speaker over a budget disagreement, and there will be trouble for the Republican Party if such actions keep occurring, former Rep. Pete King said on Newsmax Sunday about Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's motion to vacate filed Friday against House Speaker Mike Johnson.

“How will he be running the show?”
It is all in the 218 and where it comes from.

The slim advantage we had was sold by Geatz to drop the charges.
Problem is we do not have any room for purity of principled action with a practically nonexistent majority. If that House majority is gone the Dems will control everything and it will be no holds barred.
Yeah, that is always the excuse, but the Democrats seem to be able to & get away with it.
I’m sure you and I agree on all the principles including on the budget but we will be discussing the fine points in an American gulag if we don’t unite and then win in November.
Well, Frank than unite with us in the realization that passing this budget did nothing to enhance our chances whatsoever, and instead actually hurts the cause. Because Mike Johnson was not working together with his party members or in support of the base. He worked with the Democrats making the situation worse, and this is not the first time either Frank.
The border still is wide open, and now there is no incentive whatsoever to rectify that reality, and the national debt keeps expanding which will increase inflation. Real people are suffering Frank, and Americans are dying from the open birder & invasion by fentanyl & murder along with serious crimes, and I suspect it will get even worse the closer we get to the election.
I am all in , and have stated many time the saying united we stand divided we fall, by Mike Johnson is not uniting with his members or his base. He is aiding & abetting the fall of this nation and siding with Democrats.
You do not solve the issue with a bully by succumbing to their demands. I think Mike Johnson might have been bullied as a youngster, and is once again acquiescing to his current bullies. In other words Frank, he is a weakling, and is not what we need is the position of House Speaker for our party.
I had high hopes for him, and I too tried to make excuses for him. But he has repeatedly delivered, not for us, but for the bullies he is intimidate by. I feel that same way about the 101 RINO Republicans that voted with the Democrats as well.
Huh? What charges?
Why?
His honey pot was under age eighteen and he transported her to the Bahamas for sex...
Sex trafficking.
...Before Mr Trump left office, Mr Gaetz asked him for a wide-ranging preemptive pardon for any crimes he may have committed, sources told CBS News,
I’m really thinking that closing the government down (at least the senate and house) would have lasting positive benefits for the country.
“ Why?”
Same reason as D+40 in November 2018, except things are not quite as bad at the moment.
But things are heading at warp speed in that direction. If the House changes hands before the election (probable), for normies, that means the government has been in the hands of incompetents.
If Johnson is fired and the GOP proves unable to replace him, you’re looking at D+60 or more.
LMAO...your group of fake news hangs out at DU.
You know if they could have manufactured the evidence they would have to prosecute him in a heart beat, but they never did because they couldn’t!
Gaetz filed a motion to vacate.
With Gaetz being such a brilliant political strategist, what was his plan?
Did he tell you his plan?
What was it?
Cui bono (”who benefits”)? Only the dems.
Hakeem Jeffries and Nancy Pelosi...
He simply dropped a bomb and left.
Doing as he was told or facing the investigation.
Huh? Not at all. We are identifying the weak-kneed republicans. And I think it woke up a lot of those on the right to realize many in teh GOP are really democrats.
I do not miss McCarthy being gone one iota. in fact, hopefully we will get a better critter in his place.
—”will get a better critter in his place.”
Johnson is a good conservative, but that does not help.
