What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

[Paladin]

Georgia; where unions go to die.

Georgia Republicans Just Passed An 'Appalling' Bill

If it survives legal challenges, the legislation would bar companies from receiving state subsidies after voluntarily recognizing their workers’ union.

They don't want to drag us back to the 1950's, they want to drag us back to the 1850's

So these morons are going to do this all over again:

MTG Officially Launches Revolt Against Speaker Mike Johnson

On Friday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filed a motion to force a vote on Mike Johnson's removal from the speakership.

So is this yet another delaying tactic from the party that lives to do nothing but delay, or is it just Marjorie Trailer Queen being a screaming moron on her own again? It's hard to call these days.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Doesn't matter, damage is done. Dude can't take the position again without democratic support, and doing so will just make the cultists scream louder... even though maga mike ******* spearheaded the coup.

 

[Ironbite4]

GOD WHO COULD'VE SEEN THIS COMING!?

 

[KidTDragon]

Isn't ousting Johnson going to require going through the normal procedure? Or did he agree to the same terms that McCarthy did when he took the position?

 

[wonko the sane?]

I think they made it like a permanent rule.

 

[DefaultOption]

It's not any more or less permanent than the other rules that govern the session of Congress (they can basically be changed at any time with the right procedural vote), but they didn't change it after McCarthy's outster, so the one vote to vacate rule is still in place.

 

[Ironbite4]

Hey remember when Rep. Ken Buck said there were more resignations coming after him? About that.

The ‘Great Resignation’ continues as yet another GOP rep exits

Among the reasons Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher's exit matters: The number of resignations in this Congress easily tops the number of legislative wins.

Ironbite-ONE VOTE! THE GOP HAS A ONE VOTE MAJORITY!

 

[Pale Rider]

If the Dems retake the House majority before the election due to all these GOP resignations, does that mean they can vote on the border bill and Ukraine aid?

 

[wonko the sane?]

It means they get however long between the majority happening and the election to prove why the american public should vote democrat. Passing bills, moving motions, mocking the republicans... it'll be a hell of a weekend.

 

[Pale Rider]

I guess it'll fall to the Senate GOP once again to obstruct everything.

 

[wonko the sane?]

And it might be sooner than we think: apparently a dude named ghallager is planning on walking on april 19th... leaving yet another republican seat completely open till the election.

So on april 20th, it'll be an even division. No majority with either party, if one more person on the republicans side decides to walk: it's hakim jeffries time to shine!

 

[Dekafox]

Fitting it's someone named Ghallager using the Sledge-o-matic on the GOP majority.

 

[KidTDragon]

This makes me laugh more than anything that other Gallagher ever did.

.......um. I think this means the Dems get the House.

Ironbite-I think....not sure.

ETA: NOPE! This was Wonko replying to the post I made 4 posts above his as if there's another member of the GOP resigning. No with Ghallager resigning, it leaves the GOP with a one vote-majority. Making it very very likely, nothing gets done.

 

[DefaultOption]

Making it very very likely, nothing gets done.

Nothing is all they were doing before this.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Their entire strategy is to get nothing done. They don't want to actually accomplish anything during an election year when a Democrat is the incumbent.
