MTG files ludicrous motion to oust House speaker. Let's Make Stupidity Embarrassing Again.

Moments after lawmakers in the House of Representatives passed a spending bill to avert a government shutdown – also known as “doing their job” – Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene embodied the MAGA moment we live in by filing a motion to vacate Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson.

The Georgia congresswoman showed herself again to be all the things the Republican Party of Donald Trump represents; attention-seeking, spiteful, unserious, opposed to governing and proudly ignorant.

The $1.2 trillion spending package passed on a bipartisan vote, is supported by leaders from both parties in Congress and President Joe Biden, and contains a number of measures conservatives wanted, from $62 billion for Homeland Security to a 6% cut to foreign aid programs.

-snip-

Like so many of her ilk in Congress and among the various slavish minions who swoon at the mere mention of Dear Leader Trump, Greene – on the heels of Republicans doing something positive – chose chaos. Specifically, the kind of chaos that makes TV cameras turn in her direction so she can pretend she’s a serious person and not a box of wine in human form.

Democrats have a good opportunity to save Johnson, thereby demonstrating that they refuse to pile on in a partisan witch hunt.
