    Folks, you just can't make this up: the Republican clown show continues.

    "Right-wing lawmakers are ramping up their threats to remove Speaker Mike Johnson from his role after Johnson’s supporters pushed him to make it harder to oust him from the speakership.

    CNN and other outlets reported Thursday morning that, according to multiple GOP sources, Johnson is being lobbied by his members to raise the threshold required to trigger the procedure to oust the speaker – a move that would help ensure the Louisiana Republican can pass foreign aid bills and still keep his job without needing to rely on Democrats to bail him out. Currently, any single member can force a floor vote on the motion to vacate — part of the deal Kevin McCarthy made to become speaker last year."

    “We notified him that any effort to change the threshold of motion to vacate would likely induce the motion to vacate,” GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who participated in the conversation, told CNN."

    End clip

    LMAO - Republicans just don't know how to govern.

    This clown car gets crazier by the day. The real problem with the current caucus is that you have true republicans and you have Trumpistas. We currently have 3 parties in congress right now, and one of those parties has no desire to make America better, they support a MAN, not a country, not a party, A MAN!!!! Also know that this ia a man who said he would be a dictator on day one. Think about that for 10 seconds and someone show me how this isn't treasonous ? These Trumpistas fight for Trump first, America second.
