She barely won her seat during a year that Republicans were going to "win big". No way she holds on in 2024.
We've been through our share of "no way"s.
I think you are thinking of Boebert in Colorado. I think Greene is in a very safe seat.
Boebert ... Greene
Wait, aren't those the same person who occasionally dons glasses and changes her wig/nametag?
There’s no Republican challenger, so it’s between her and a Democrat in a sparsely populated Republican district. Don’t hold your breath.
Was it Green or another psycho that won because their supporters harassed the opponent so badly that it ruined his marriage and he dropped out?
I have not checked, is there a viable candidate running against her? Any candidate running against her? Isn't her district insanely red?
I’ll be curious if the democrats step in. Johnson did the right thing getting the bill passed, but he’s still a garbage human being and a terrible leader.
I thought I saw a headline last night that the democrats in the house said they would vote to table any effort to remove Johnson.
They have already said that they would: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/democrats-house-speaker-mike-johnson-motion-to-vacate-b2537337.html
She's just spewing shit, as always.
He is terrible, but he's better than any replacement, he's shown a willingness to work with Dems, and most importantly, if he ever breaks any promises, the Dems can sick him to the wolves.
They’d save him. He’s the least awful among a menagerie of traitors.
Article I read a couple of days ago said they will. But who knows? There's no love lost between the parties.
It is pragmatic to keep the House from being without a speaker, and he hasn't broken a deal yet. They are trying to keep the House functioning somewhat by tabling a vote, but if it came to a vote for a new speaker all the Dems will most likely vote Jeffries again.
Who could they possibly replace him with who wouldn’t also be a dumpster fire?
Apparently Anna Paulina Luna says if the motion to vacate hits the floor several Republicans will immediately resign, giving the house to the dems. Honestly, that's probably the best thing the Republicans could do. The dems would have to pass legislation immediately enshrining reproductive rights into law or they'd look like chumps. That would energize the conservative base and depress the liberal vote. The Republicans intend to institute one party rule if they win the presidency and rule by fiat. If they have to accept six months of abortion being legal in order to go full Handmaid's Tale, I think they would take that bargain.
They won't touch abortion. It is too useful for their elections at the moment. 😭
Abortion protections will get blocked in the Senate, so the Dems will still have the issue to run on either way.

Any allegations that Greene is transparently working as a Russian agent are entirely unsubstantiated.
You're right. She's been entirely opaque about it for quite some time.
It's an extremely obscure conspiracy theory that happens to be one of Putin's big talking points. He brought it up in the Tucker Carlson interview. How the fuck does MTG know anything about ethnic Hungarians in Transcarpathia and what language they speak? She can barely string a sentence together herself.
It’s an extremely obscure conspiracy theory
Conservatives love to elevate an obscure conspiracy theory to national policy. Check out the Tennessee state government's Chemtrails Bill, which
bans the "intentional injection, release, or dispersion" of chemicals within Tennessee "with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight is prohibited."

She still works there!?
Works is a pretty loose term. She exists there and leaches off our tax dollars. I'm not sure I would call her constant stream of putrid speech "working."
Are you kidding? She's one of Putin's top performers.
She got re-elected in 2022. Her constituents see her antics and think it accurately represents them.
Election in November.
I really fucking wish that people in the government would actually do things that positively impact the lives of their constituents. All these political pissing contests are tiring. What feels worse is that I, nor anyone not residing in the states of these nutbags, have the power to vote them out. We have to sit back and hope that people in other states come to their senses and stop their vitriol from spreading and infecting more and more sane people. It’s like the MAGA-ots are actually the Goa’uld from Stargate. Fucking parasites, the lot of them!
