It's too bad there's no way to get rid of MTG (no LEGAL way)

It doesn't make a bloody difference what one thinks of Johnson at this point. We are only months from an election with the entire country and world on fire and the very last thing anyone should be doing is creating more chaos in the House of Representatives. Establishment republicans can never seem to figure out when to do what and apparently neither can the ones in opposition to the establishment. Republicans are a mess.

Speaker Johnson more than any other Republican right now is destroying the brand (brands are not necessarily reality but they represent what the marketer wants people to think of them).

Because he is high profile Johnson's actions are serving to associate Republicans in Congress with Big Bovernment (pushing Schumer's FISA extension bill through)) Big Spending (more of Schumer's omnibus deficit spending bills funding all manner of Democrat policies working against our interests) and Involvement in Questionable Wars - (Biden/Schumer's Ukraine funding packaged with Israel and Taiwan so as to protect it even though Johnson promised separate votes ). Johnson was insincere in his pledges. Congressman Thomas Massie detailed Speaker Johnson's outright betrayals on those matters and more on Glen beck's show this morning.

Massie implied support from the Freedom Caucus to induce Johnson to resign or face an ouster vote. Johnson ought to do the right thing and resign. Johnson is there under false pretenses. He lied to his colleagues and us lesser rubes.

Johnson has made himself the poster boy for ~~ Don't trust them they are as phony as can be ~~ they will tell you anything and vote another way. His actions paint Republicans in general even though most Republicans did not support Johnson/Schumer's bills.

Hold on. Mike Johnson capitulates to the Democrats on every major budgetary issue, giving them more in spending and power than they even asked for -- while getting nothing to retard illegal immigration -- plus, getting more support in all these budget votes from Democrats over Republicans -- and Marjorie Taylor Greene is their favorite Republican?

Because Mike Johnson is blocking a lot of things the democrats want and low IQ MTG who is as dumb as a rock wants to be a clown and get all the attention. While MTG Clowns herself and at least most of the Republicans and the Democrats are being adults and are tired of the clown show.

MTG is an embarrassment. I respect Johnson for getting stuff done--- yes, even working with the much-reviled Ds. It's ridiculous that the extremes of both parties have such loud voices when a representative democracy like ours REQUIRES compromise to function.

No strategic or even tactical thought. Republicans should be able to do better

Why did Johnson sit on the 300 page report Jim Jordan’s committee produced on the criminal conspiracy being perpetrated by the DOJ against Trump? Thank goodness for Elise Stefanik for calling attention to it . Johnson looked like a thief while Stefanik was addressing the press. Go ahead. Watch it. Johnson needs to go. He’s not running the house anyway. You can cut MTG down but Massie a libertarian basically is also for throwing him out. He needs to go and it will actually help in November. Johnson is just another go along to get along Republican. That group’s time is just about up!

Read that Franklin Graham came out in support of Speaker Johnson, urging MTG to reconsider. Hope it works. Seriously can’t understand why she can’t grasp the larger game here.

We've had the Gang of Eight, The Squad and now we have the Three Stooges led by the vapid and self absorbed Marjorie Taylor Greene. She even got herself a 3 letter acronym just like her mentor AOC.

I wish our folks in northwest Georgia would figure out that she is only there for herself and her "brand" and not to represent them. Vote her out in the next election and replace her with someone who is smart and represents her district and her country. Even the orange man is keeping his distance.

They are caricatures of what Democrats think Republicans are. I’m just so disgusted with these attention hogs that actually just stir up trouble without producing anything themselves.
