The easiest and least politically damaging way to accomplish this is probably for him to quietly encourage some house Rs to sign the discharge petition. He can publicly shrug his shoulders that its out of his hands and keep his perch.

i'm wondering if itsbetter if Dems should tell his stupid ass to put the entire package up with the ukraine aid and border package. take that shit completely off the table for november. but Ukraine AT MINIMUM

I mean that pretty much goes for her whole wing of the party. Which is why R members are quitting and some before their terms are even up because they are sick of dealing with this shit.
The better thing they could do is vote (D) on every bill.

Or better yet, the ones who have already announced they are not running again could switch parties until their term is up.

Why that doesn’t accomplish what they want. I guess they could do it out of spite however all these folks have nice easy jobs waiting for them at some think tank or PAC.

If I were the Democrats I would be furiously searching for a Republican to switch parties and promise them whatever they want. If Democrats could gain control for even a very brief period they could ram through huge amounts of stalled legislation.

That swap would likely contain a Joe Manchin who would not approve anything worthwhile.
Admittedly I would be perfectly fine with some unimaginably sweet deal given to them & their district.

The Senate would like a word with you.
They still respect minority rule via filibuster.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is the Marjorie Taylor Greene of Marjorie Taylor Greene's. She's so awful there really isn't something else to compare her to.

And that's why I want the national divorce that she's offering..

We're never going to get a chance like this again where the Army of the Potomac goes head to head against the Army of Northern Georgia led by General Marjorie Taylor Greene!

Would be something to see Greene's charge on the 3rd day!

/sarcasm (but yeah.. we're not gonna get bigger gifts than that.. well maybe take that hill if practical)

Alright I just heard something wise from a Democrat Representative.
He would vote to keep the Speaker because “it is ridiculous to expel a speaker for doing their job”

Smart point, we may not like the guy’s Politics and we may not like how long this went on for. We have to admit he got it done. Why chance it for yet another loony.

Like someone said, we will save you if you put border and Ukraine on the floor for a vote
