WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, three sources with knowledge of the move told NBC News, doing so just as the House voted to avoid a government shutdown.

Johnson, R-La., has served as speaker for five months, having taken over for Kevin McCarthy who was ousted from the top job under a similar process.

What principles? Oh yeah, vaping and giving handies at kids’ shows and throwing tantrums in The House while doing absolutely nothing resembling their actual jobs.

Don't forget MTG is a lying, homewrecking, unfaithful PoS. Just like her golden idol, Trump.

They aren't sending the best people, folks.

There are plenty of Blue state GOPs. I can see someone giving a speech along these lines; Things have gotten out of hand. It's time to cooperate with the other Party. You know me, and that I am a strong Reagan Republican. Reagan worked with Tip O'Neil and we beat the Soviets.

There are plenty of Blue state GOPs.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of them (if you don't believe me, check the Senate and the 2020 Presidential election results), but that doesn't stop her district from being deeply blood-red-batshit-insane.

Thank Sarah Palin for the new political track. Back in the day, a losing pol could only go home or become a lobbyist. Now they can become media darlings. MGT will be flogging her wares for decades, in or out of office.

Wouldn't really say that Beetlejuice the Musical is directed at kids but everything else is spot on. They talk about orgies and suicide in it.

Suicide orgy: You come and then you go.

It was both of them, especially the clown show on the floor of the house

They were both groping someone in public at a show?!?

I don’t like this ride and I would like to get off.
