I believe that would require a two thirds vote. And the Dems will not cooperate. Tough luck, Marge

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If she was smart, she would have come to that conclusion herself. Which leaves one conclusion about herself...
She's getting what she wants from it though. Clicks and views. It's all about posturing. It's just virtue signaling with garbage for virtues.
The media has a lot to answer for. She’s not a serious person, but they keep showering her with coverage.
It’s similar to how they elect Trump.
The media has some responsibility for sure but ultimately it's consumers that dictate what the media broadcasts. If people didn't watch, they'd cover someone/something else. All media, npr included, needs an audience, and covering shitbags gets clicks and views. Journalism isn't what it used to be. The standard isn't telling truth or fact, it's selling ads and making the broadcasters money. This is just another feature of the free market.
I don’t disagree, but I think the media, who continually demand our respect, should be held to a higher standard.
And I’m not entirely convinced the consumer is the driving demand for this . The media create the demand.
She pronounced “cabal” as “cable,” when she self-shot a Qanon video. It ended up in that documentary on HBO. She’s dumber than bricks.
I learned a lot of words from reading, so I didn't know how to pronounce them until I heard them in context. She's a moron, but not because of that.
She needs the Democrats to help with this & she's never getting that.
Die in a fire, three-toes.
I prefer Flipper, but you do you.
Part of me is worried about all these resignations, what do these people know inside the party about what's coming? Everyone is focused on them running away but no one is asking what are they running from?
Really? It's not some big secret. Republicans are battling extremists in their party because they spent decades placating extremism. And now that they can no longer contain the monster they made, they're bailing. They never planned to actually fix anything anyways, so they got theirs and now they're going home. It's standard Republican stuff.
Consequences of their actions.
Another article stating that they are leaving because they get good consulting gigs. Basically they were always into it for the money/influence and follow that wherever it goes.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) called on Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Sunday to push for Rep. Mike Gallagher’s (R-Wis.) expulsion from Congress ahead of his scheduled departure next month to allow his district time to select a new representative.
Oh, you mean the guy you moved against a week or two ago?
Why should Johnson do anything that Greene wants when she's trying to knock him out of his job?
Granted, I'd like to see him go, but Greene is a much bigger turd.
I thought they were calling her a Gallagher. Like that old comedian with a hammer. I was thinking it kinda fits. Oh, well.
Man her reflexes are so quick, nothing goes over her head.
I'd like her to find a quiet corner, lie down, take deep breath and hold it until I say stop.
