This is great news since it officially establishes that Johnson has a dependency on Democrats now. Which gives Dems more leverage because if Johnson refuses to cooperate on something in the future than Dems could bring a motion to vacate the chair.

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!

MODERATORS
It also shows how toothless the extreme MAGA side is. Democrats and moderate Republicans made bipartisan deals to get aid passed and this troglodyte can't abide compromise. She genuinely thinks compromise is evil.
I think you're giving her too much credit. She just wants chaos and attention.
Correct. She must be fuming because she thought she had that kind of power - and she doesn't.
I have a small sliver of suspicion that many Democrats voted to help Johnson in order to put her in her place.
I know as a rule of thumb anything Marjorie is for I am most likely against.
Broken clocks, aside.
Maybe even the Republicants are accepting that Margarine Failure Gangrene is a full blown Russian shill.
Sorry but, Margarine Failure Gangrene is some shit I would expect from Trump.
Welp… maybe I’m not much better than Trump in my nickname generation abilities.
We can’t all be geniuses like you.
We didn't need proof that they're all the same but here we can see Democrats voting to keep a christofascist in power so Israel can continue a genocide. America, your vote really does not matter but maybe you feel good "participating" in this reality show? We all deserve a little something to make us feel good every few years.
Astroturf harder buddy, there's boots to lick.
You are not making sense. In what bubble does what you said sound like English? [Edit: it was this bubble all along! Looks like I made a wrong turn on my way out of Reddit And landed on a State Department website. Is my karma still good or did they wipe it?]
What’s the matter, English not your first language? They miss that particular idiom in your training?
Jesus Christ... What an absolute godforsaken NSA cesspool Lemmy is. The frustration of not being able to talk to real people who don't assume you yourself are not a genuine actor. This is the darkest forest.
You're very transparent.
Down here, at the bottom of this thread, it's just us. One of us farted and I know it wasn't me. Who you going to convince? It's just us here. You gonna call me a fake person when it's just us? I get you can't rationally disagree with my position and be consistent with you purported values. That's a tough spot. But trying to convince me that I'm not real when it's just between us? That's a lost cause. As big a waste as sharing a dissenting opinion here. So let's shake hands on the fact we both wasted our time.
I've been here the whole time, and you definitely farted.
I intentionally take in news from different political views and the only people talking about MTG are generally Democrats. She's an annoying nobody to the right. I'm not at all surprised her power play fizzled.
