US House quickly defeats Greene's effort to oust Speaker Johnson​


WASHINGTON, May 8 (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday swiftly and overwhelmingly defeated an effort by firebrand Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene to remove Speaker Mike Johnson, a fellow Republican, from his leadership role.
Democrats joined Republicans in a 359-43 vote to protect Johnson's speakership, in a bid to avoid a replay of the chaos that occurred in October when Republicans ousted his predecessor, Kevin McCarthy.

Greene's move represented a rare Republican defiance of presidential candidate Donald Trump, who in a social media post following the House vote on Wednesday, said it was "not the time" for Republicans to try to push out their own speaker.
Greene's measure, known as a motion to vacate, showcased the disorder that has marked Republicans' slim 217-213 House majority, particularly since it had been clear that the effort would fail given Democrats' opposition.

"I appreciate the show of confidence from my colleagues to defeat this misguided effort," Johnson, 52, said following the vote. "Hopefully this is the end of the character assassination that has characterized the current Congress."
Multiple Republicans criticized Greene's move, including centrist Representative Marc Molinaro.

Johnson is the best Speaker for the Democratics
 
Hence why the campaigns against hunting and small farms, the relentless pushing of processed foods, the overprescribing of meds at doctors offices, the pushing for completely sedentary lifestyles where the state controls food quality, water quality etc... They really do not want people to live long, healthy, and independent lives.
You missed the Covid Jabs
 
Mike Johnson is only the "Speaker of the House". He understands the US Constitution backwards and forward. He practiced as a Constitutional Lawyer. What ever the House writes up in a bill has to be voted on and passed by the US Senate. The US Senate is controlled by the Democrats. Next you have a Democrat as President who will veto anything he can as a whim. Even Trump said "Mike Johnson can't just do what ever he wants to".

Can anyone show anything in the US Constitution that Mike Johnson has violated ?
Johnson's message to the fractured Republicans in the House of Representatives is this : FAFO
MTG has her panties in a wad as do the rest of the Freedom Caucus. They need to take a page from the Democrat's play book, settle down and vote as a group and use the majority they have to move ahead.

He cast the deciding vote to give FISA court warrant free legislation while majority of Republican House voted to require warrants. Vote was deadlocked and as Speaker he broke the tie in Favor of Democrats and the FBI/DOJ. Explain and justify that one.

Problem is they vote as a group to push the Democrat agenda.

I’ll support the, like 10 Republicans, that are actually half conservative

In a perfect world, the elected official votes the way his "constituents" want him to vote.
In a district with a Republican voting majority they will elect a Republican candidate to represent them.
The constituents may very well want the same thing as the Democrats, even though they register as Republican.
An example is a community that needs an upgraded VA Clinic.
I see that in Jon Tester's (Montana) district. A Democrat that keeps getting reelected because he votes the way his constituents want him to vote.
When the people of that district ask him "What's in it for us" ? He seems to always get something for that district.

The House passed HR 7109, the Equal Representation Act, to mandate a citizenship question on the census form and use of only the citizen population in the apportionment formula for representation applied after every census.

Equal Representation Act

This bill requires any questionnaire used in the decennial census to include a checkbox or other similar option for respondents to indicate whether the respondent and each household member is a U.S. citizen.

The Department of Commerce must make public the number of citizens and noncitizens in each state.

The bill also requires that the statement sent by the President to Congress indicating the number of persons in each state (related to the reapportionment of U.S. Representatives) excludes noncitizens.
 
You get it back at a severely deflated value. I would have rather not paid in at all and invest it myself. I always thought giving money to the government to hold for me seemed like a scam.
No one "pays into" social security. Per SS's own website, current payments are used to fund current recipients.

The United States Government is buying used airplanes from the Koreans to convert to E-4B "Doomsday" planes. By the time the conversion is finished these planes will be antiquated. How smart is that ? Next the Government will have the Chinese build their planes....

I know the above is just about representation - but the issue will be when completing the census, how many "newcomers" will check the "citizen" box because they think since they "reported asylum" to BP or on some phone app, esp. if they got a court date a decade away from now, they are now legal? (Note also, that the above bill is just a proposition to change the current existing system which does not distinguish between within the citizens versus illegals/ immigrants in counting number of constitutents to determine representation in Congress).

So, after seeing Tucker's recent interview with True the Vote on how "newcomers" will vote in 2024,there is a little clause that as long as they "thought they were citizens" in their head, there is no punishment for voting illegally. Once a vote is cast, it cannot be recalled because the person casting it did not have the "right" to vote to begin with.

I have personally spoken to "newcomers" , who honestly believe because they are now legal citivens now, because they have either reported to BP, some NGO, or the DHS app. on the phones they received for free along the way that they "are seeking asylum". Therefore, in their minds (and it may have been represented to them that way by TPTB that gave them the invitation here int he first place), they now are "legal" and therefore "citizens" eligible to vote. They don't undersand that citizenship does not occur until they have their court hearing as well as completed the naturalization process and ceremony.

far out. now the fbi is arresting trans terror shooters,not training them?
you have to train them first, so you know who 'is' one. Then when you go to court, you can show, that person has had training and is EXTRA dangerous, vs, just moderately dangerous. Instead of moderately killing 15 people, with extra training it could have killed 20. type dangerous

we have B52 bombers that are over 60 years old......

just saying..
Don't talk about the Chinook helicopters and when they were developed. (50s)
You want an airplane built BEFORE DEI or built WITH DEI?

Since those older planes have maintenance schedules and component replacements they are still susceptible to the DEI virus.
 
The concept of "People voting with their feet" has been around for centuries. As American's relocate there will be larger pushes for "States Rights" and less involvement of the US Government. This is the stuff Revolutions are made of.
