Hi Mike, as I understand it… it only takes one person to call for election of a new Speaker… I say do it now and get Hakeim voted in…. He’s not a Holy Moses Mike freak.. Get someone sane in there.

All we need are 2 or 3 Republican votes, and hello, Speaker Jeffries!

I’m with those who refuse to support Mike Johnson and should do so again. He has disgraced his office and promoted fascism on so many levels. stop trying to be above the fray Democrats this is a knife fight.

sorry to find myself saying this again and again, but I feel that the Democratic Party, with a few exceptions, is not meeting the moment, not standing tall extolling the accomplishments of the administration, not using every media entity to daily refute the Republican story; bringing a water pistol to a western gunfight.

Allow/encourage Greene to redo hers. That’s far more productive without giving political leverage to blame the Democrats for Republican corruption masked as incompetence.

I’d rather a Republican bring up ousting Johnson. Get the rumor mill going so MTG knows how Dems would vote.

That seems to me, to be exactly what they're doing!

HEY! With all these Republicans in NYC, isn't there a Democratic majority in the House right now? Vote to vacate and elect Jeffries.

1. Just remember, the higher power just told Satan to prepare a bigger place for the Maga's and their ilk.

2. Just being the architect of the objection to the above board '20 election, means Johnson should never have been trusted in the first place.

3. Considering the sheer display of hypocrisy whilst occupying the speaker's seat, he has relinquished all benefit of the doubt to think he can debate in good faith.

4. As long as the gop has done nothing to assist their constituents or the country, let's watch him get eaten by his own.

Never have I seen a serpent in a suit and tie wrap himself in the Bible without an ounce of irony. The lunacy of bowing before trumpanzee at the expense of a nation is your bucket of ice water to the face, democracy is on the gurney left out in the hallway until Americans perform the surgery of excising the gop tumor on our body politic.

I wonder if the Trump sycophants who attended the NY hush money trial are headed for a conspiracy to obstruct justice charge in making statements that appear to have been instigated by Trump. If it can be proved that Trump did initiate and activate their willingness to circumnavigate the Trump gag order, which extends to the defendant using 3rd parties to attack & trash this judicial process and the participants in this legal process.

I do not understand why Democrats play into the one-sided game Republicans serve to them. Democrats think they’re doing it for the greater good and then they get screwed every time. The Republicans’ playbook is a narcissistic one: Passive Non-Cooperation,

Being Evasive, Making Many Demands and Requirements. They manipulate and dominate with a chronic underlying sense of entitlement. Their opinions or beliefs are all that matter and Democrats must write their own rules and play their own game from now on.

Garland was a mistake. The bottom up approach was not what America needed. Top down would have reassured the country that no one is above the law...

Seems to me that Jeffries should be leveraging the vacate threat to get real border action or a decent voting rights bill, or go ahead and push the nuclear button.

Surely Congresswoman Empty Greene will get the message to submit her "call the question" motion to vacate the Speaker's chair. But she'll need something to hang her objections on, and Moses supporting TFG at his NYC trial isn't it.
