Empty Greene's motion to vacate vote leaves conservatives with no easy options

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) decision to force action on ousting Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has created a dilemma for some rank-and-file Republicans who will now face a tough choice: vote to boot a party leader endorsed by former President Trump, or join forces with Democrats to protect a figure loathed by many conservatives.

Greene’s resolution, which is expected to reach the floor next week, is likely to fail given the promise from Democratic leaders to keep Johnson in power for the sake of chamber stability. But the Georgia firebrand is pushing ahead, arguing the importance of getting every House lawmaker on the record so voters are crystal clear where everyone stands on Johnson’s leadership track record.

“Every member of Congress needs to take that vote,” she said. “I can’t wait to see Democrats go out and support a Republican Speaker and have to go home to their primaries. … And I also can’t wait to see my Republican conference show their cards and show who we are.

“Are they willing to actually fight? Or are they going to just keep going along to get along?”

1. I wish people would stop calling them Conservatives

They aren't conservative, they are extremists and fascists. Many of their core beliefs are the opposite of conservatism.

3. Which is dumber? Letting TSF or MTG run the house?

4. I hope that Democrats support the speaker just to stick their fingers into the Green thing from Georgia's eyes.

5. They cut a deal to support him in exchange for a vote on the Ukriane aid

So yeah, they'll support him for now.

9. She knows its a fail and won't go thru with it.

She no longer has the vacate move. It's been negated by the Dems.

Repugs don't understand that democrats understand strategy. Stupid, they are!!
