They’re all nuts.

[@rando6836]

The Republican Party needs a reset. It’s become hack grifter central, especially regarding their senseless flip flop into cutting Ukraine aid. If I have to choose between Biden and some American Last clown who claims to be America First, but wants our enemies to take over the world and surround us, I’m just not going to vote.

It's all such a joke. The only reason many Republicans didn't turn on Johnson was the timing of the motion. If this had been done, say, last year (yes, I know Johnson wasn't Speaker at that time, it's more about the timing this close to major elections), the Republicans would have supported Greene. It's all a numbers game. It's simply that the game that Greene wants to play isn't the game the rest of her party are currently playing.

MTG you're a brave congresswoman!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@DM_Laf]

Rich corporations, banks and tycoons, make billions from major crises. The entire system in the US is designed to favor the extremely rich. Everything goes in a circle from one pocket to the other one. When Congress approves billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine or Israel, they borrow that money from big corporations or banks. Companies provide this money from their profits, which they would otherwise have to pay taxes on. In this way, they skip paying taxes and the state repays the debt to them with interest! Can it get any better!? The same corporations and tycoons sponsor political election campaigns. Politicians, more or less puppets, return favors by creating jobs for them by wars, Covid and other crises....and it's all nicely packaged and served as a democratic lie.

@@jonhenry8268 Democrats always, traditionally, have voted as a block against any republican running for speaker. The vote today was to give the Speaker cover.
