Democrats are indicating that they might join Republican efforts to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson after Johnson passed a gruesome $1.2 trillion spending bill that provides more money for Ukraine.
Johnson’s cowardice and subversion is not welcome during these dark days. The Democrat-controlled Senate passed a different $95.3 billion war funding bill that hands out astronomical amounts of money to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. The America First movement does not want Johnson to pass that bill through the House, because it would essentially trigger World War 3 and lead the world down a dark path of destruction.
Marjorie Taylor Greene began the process of possibly trying to oust Johnson through a motion to vacate, which Matt Gaetz previously used to oust Kevin McCarthy (Greene supported McCarthy at the time). If Greene is actually serious about the motion, then Gaetz, Eli Crane, Lauren Boebert, Byron Donalds and other relatively young members of the Republican caucus should have a serious discussion about it. Technically, it could take only three Republicans to oust Johnson if Democrats join in.
Meanwhile, Business Insider is trying to push the narrative that an attempt to vacate Johnson would lead Democrats to rally around Johnson in exchange for Ukraine War funding. If that happened, then obviously Mike Johnson would rightfully be hated forever by the MAGA base.
Democrat Nancy Pelosi said that Hakeem Jeffries, the Democrat House leader, will soon be the next speaker. Pelosi is either saying that Democrats will join in ousting Johnson or she is trying to pressure Johnson into passing Ukraine war funding.
Last time, the chaos went on for 22 days before Johnson weaseled his way into the speakership, deflating our fun and making us go back to the cold reality of being governed by a succession of interchangeable empty suits who give our money away around the world. Sad!
