Just days after returning from a two-week recess, right-wing fury – spurred on by former President Donald Trump – brought the House to a standstill in a significant blow to House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., as he grapples with a threat to his leadership post.

Nineteen House Republicans shot down a procedural step known as a “rule” vote in the House on a controversial spying law that has renewed GOP infighting. The move effectively froze the House and left the legislation in a state of limbo.

In the days leading up to the vote, House Republicans were confident they could take the lead on renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act – or FISA – and pass it this week. But it quickly became apparent that several conservative hard-liners, furious at Johnson and accusing leaders of leaving their voices out, were angling to shut down the bill.

Trump also told Republicans early Wednesday to “KILL FISA” in an 11th-hour post on Truth Social, emboldening conservative opposition to Johnson’s reapproval plan.

All this was happening as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Grenee, R-Ga., dangles a motion to vacate over Johnson’s head. It’s an effort that, if passed, would boot him from the speakership.

You got that right Truth. America has been dumbing down things for a while. This is the result you get when you do it.

She is the perfect prototype for what was to eventually become that “Special” kind of Repub leader, among Repub leaders, going back to the Newt Gingrinch and Rush Limbaugh era.

Dangerous.Dummies! 😳

These right wing fools are dangerous and mostly “slooow” children in adult bodies.

The fact that so many of them have been elected to high office within our government speaks to Our collective shame!
