Colorado Woman Fights Georgia Woman With Florida Woman And Louisiana Dad Is Mad! [View all]
Meow meow meow, another catfight in the MAGA Madhouse!
You know those Republicans, they cant govern. Not even each other! They are all grownup versions of the kids nobody wanted to play with on the playground, because they have meltdowns when they get the tiniest scratch, and every time they lose they whine about changing the rules.
Now no-nuttin Moses of Congress Mike Johnson is stamping his little foot and saying he is cancelling ALL THE voting on the entire Republican agenda for the rest of the week, after nine disobedient Republicans joined all the Democrats in a 206-222 vote against his attempt to block a vote on a bipartisan bill from Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican, and Brittany Pettersen, Democrat of Colorado, that would let new-parent lawmakers vote by proxy for three months.
Voting by proxy, they all do it! But Mike Johnson doesnt want any fewer tools to harass baby-vessels with, and BIPARTISAN BILL, ACK ACK KILL IT WITH FIRE!
Short version: Mike Johnson tried to use his Speaker Power to keep Luna and Pettersons bill from coming to the floor. But Luna and allies defied him by using a procedural maneuver called a discharge petition, and collected the 218 signatures, including those of 11 Republicans, which forced a vote on the proxy resolution within two days. And then so Johnson put forward his own new-special-rule for a vote, which would block voting on Lunas bill. BUT nine Republicans joined Democrats to vote against Johnsons rules-change bill. And then rather than just let everybody vote on Lunas bill and move on, Johnson huffily declared that there would be no more voting at all this week, and blamed Luna for that. Weak! So no proxy-vote-bill getting voted on, no nothing getting voted on until Mad Dad calms down.
