It’s a day ending in y, so why should Marjorie Taylor Greene be doing anything else but creating political theater? Marge needs to review the speeches of Abraham Lincoln. She will find a comment that is a paraphrase from a number of his speeches and it is: “Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.” Guess what, Marge? You don’t have public sentiment on your side. Ousting Mike Johnson is the candle blowing in the wind. Nobody wants to see it happen. Ergo, you cannot make it happen, no matter how high up you ramp the crazy meter.
This is what happens when you don’t invite her to Mar-a-Lago anymore

Speaking of Mar-a-Lago, guess who chimed in when a few minutes later the vote was taken and the House voted 359 to 43 to block the motion to oust Mike Johnson. None other than the GOP standard bearer himself, acting as elder statesman. Here’s what that emeritus grise had to say:
“When are we going back to Planet Ten?” “Real soon!” Yes, I remember that scene from Buckaroo Bonzai quite well and this is the same deranged energy. We’re going to see the GOP do positively amazing things “real soon.”
And maybe Trump should invite Marge back down to Mar-a-Lago. Maybe he can keep her from ripping Mike Johnson’s face off, nobody else seems able to. And Trump’s confidence in winning big is touching, especially coming off of another primary loss just last night and the fact that he’s going back to court in the morning so Stormy Daniels can take another whack at him.
But this is the American political landscape in 2024, folks. Salvador Dali could not express anything this bizarre if he were here to grace us with one of his images. Here’s the video from Buckaroo Bonzai for your viewing pleasure. You tell me if it doesn’t capture the state of affairs in the GOP these days and if Marge isn’t Lord Whorfin — and Trump is equally delusional.
I know the Dems are playing the “Better the Devil you know”card, but considering Mr. Peepers’ groveling at the feet of Lardass and his stolen election bullshit, and the fact that there is no pressing House business other than making it illegal for non-citizens to vote, which is already illegal, I would have told Johnson,” Sorry pal, but you’re on your own…….then watch the Republicans make fools of themselves with another Chinese fire drill on voting for a Speaker further exemplifying their inability to govern
Yes it would be emotionally satisfying, for the very reasons you state. But not a good idea. Remember, never interfere with your enemy when he’s making a mistake. Johnson just made a mistake, Marge is making a much bigger mistake. But the recent groveling by Johnson will not affect his relationship with Jeffries. It’s not just that we “know” Johnson. If he doesn’t take care of the people’s business, with the help of Dems and relatively sane Republicans, he’s out and he knows that. If he does, he has nothing to fer from Greene, and even Trump, as you see, was telling her (in the quoted entry, which I guarantee you he did not write) that she needs to back off.
I’m not sure if that pic at the top of the page is a recent one from the House floor, but I damn well wish the House would take up a motion requiring all women to wear sleeves on the House floor (whether a jacket or a shirt with actual sleeves). What she’s wearing there is NOT “business attire” in any sense of the term (and if the guys have to present some level of “professional” attire, the ladies should as well–of course, I think most of the ladies DO present themselves in professional attire; then again, Margarine Traitor Greene isn’t a “lady”–she’s a broom dressed in a horse suit dressed as a woman).
With Empty Greene and Bobblehead, you have to ask yourself, what “business” are they in?
Some professional women can in fact carry off the (professional) look wearing a sleeveless dress. MTG has neither the class or the athletic physique to do so. I’m leery of “dress coding” women in Congress even as some of Sinema’s outfits (and hairstyles) have made me cringe but she’ll be gone at least. IF the House were to pass a rule like you propose, then it should also require men to wear jackets – including in HEARINGS! (Yes, I’m referring to “Gym” HE GROPED ME COACH! Jordan)
She was so proud of herself for reading all of those big words correctly.
Then just watch the look on her stupid face when the boos start.
Priceless.
