Can you imagine waking up to that every morning and wondering which kind of crazy you will witness that day?

The overwhelmingly voted to kill a move by Republican hard-liners aimed at ousting (R-LA), saving an unlikely speaker of an unruly House 6 months after lawmakers moved to oust his predecessor.

Only 11 supported the move to “table” a measure by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), while 196 Republicans embraced keeping Johnson in the speaker’s job. also overwhelmingly voted to save the GOP speaker, 163 in support of keeping him & 32 against doing so. The overall vote was 359 - 43, w/ 7 Democratic lawmakers voting present.

@Nonilex the congress is isolating the traitors.

@Nonilex Isn't a vote to table the vote to keep him as speaker? I think the 11 Rs voted against tabling. In other words supporting the measure.

That's great.

This goes to show people just how out of touch 11 republicans are with their constituents.

Dems saved the fellow who just said he’ll make sure Republicans do everything in their power to kneecap every court trying a Trump case because DJT “has done nothing wrong.”

They should’ve let Mikey “go through some things,” IMO.

Democrats support should be interpreted as support of normal order, not of Mike Johnson. Unfortunately, the media seems to deliberately misconstrue these things.

@mastodonmigration “Normal order” is doing a lot of heavy lifting to help out the flailing GOP.

    @Nonilex All she had to do was nothing.

    Look, hear me out... doing nothing is the easiest job in the whole world. Anyone, even dim-bulbed people, can do that.

    And yet, she can't. Marjorie just had to pull the trigger because of a personal vendetta or something... even when it became clear that she was literally the only person in the room who wanted Johnson's ouster.

    When she can't even "do nothing" right (not a typo, by the way)... that means her time in government is all but over.

    MTG must think a congressional Representative’s job is to do NOTHING but waste the people’s time and money in Congress. If indeed she thinks at all.
