Broken and disunited government is much better than anything the GOP would be working on if they had their sh!t together.

We should all be so lucky for people like Margery.

I looked up the full quote and I think he said he'll back Johnson if Johnson allows a vote on the foreign aid supplemental, which I think is the fair trade.

Yeah I think Dems would definitely make this trade. Johnson's cooked if he survives on D votes anyway. Surviving this motion to vacate on Dem defections just means he gets three times as many R votes against him in the next one.

I doubt Johnson will work with Dems to save himself. He'll go down with the ship like McCarthy did. He doesn't want to govern any more than the rest of the House GOP.
Not an option.

If Johnson works with dems to save him he’ll get kicked out faster than he could make good on any promises

Johnson didn't learn anything.

With a majority that thin it's suicidal to violate the Hastert Rule.
When a majority of Republicans voted against the funding package, he was politically dead.

Ah, sh-t, here we go again.

This has easily been the most dysfunctional House in many decades, if not for well over a century. A "majority" conference utterly incapable and unwilling to govern, hijacked by a bunch of far-right lunatics who just want to burn the down the whole place. Why on earth would anybody want this party to continue governing? I hope voters will end this farce and send this joke of a political party back into the minority. In the years before, the other party proved that they can govern and pass substancial legislation, even with a tight majority.

I was reading the AP article and nothing is going to happen for two weeks, plus Gaetz and Burchett were throwing cold water in the idea. But Johnson can only loose two votes so we’ll see what happens.

2 out of 112 that voted against the Funding Deal, what are the chances ?

There is a chance that things calm down and the motion is withdrawn, but one way or the other Johnson is probably on his way out.

Either he loses the vote or enough resign/lose special elections that Jeffries gets a plurality.

Johnson learned nothing from McCarthy's ouster: It's suicide to pass anything with majorities that slim.

I look forward to Republicans and blue avatars here saying this is the Democrats fault and they should support Speaker Johnson.

You’d think it was a joke but

When a majority of Republicans voted against the funding package, he was politically dead.

Ironically the rule has had opposite effect of what it was intended for . The reason the GOP put it in place during the Bush years was since their majority was so small they knew that it wouldn’t be difficult for bills they Bush/GOP leadership didn’t approve off to pass the house and they did not want that to happen. So what they did was put that rule into place thinking the only people who could pass the majority of majority rule was congressional leadership and for a while it did exactly that but in the long run it did the opposite.

I think it was the folly of the existance of "Must pass" bills.

Practice has shown that Bills that don't pass have no real negative impact, no matter how important they are.

Full Roll Call Vote on the 1.2 Trillion Spending Spree



This begs one Question: Why is Speaker Johnson putting Bills on the Floor that ain't supported by the Majority of his own Conference?

112 Republicans voted against it, that's A LOT!

Why was it necessary for this person to include everyone's headshot?

The current Congress makes the 80th Congress look like they supported Truman's agenda by comparison.
