The Speakership Gets Sticky

The Speakership Gets Sticky

On Capitol Hill, where the twists and turns rival the best of daytime dramas, we're witnessing a spectacle more riveting than Chris Christie at an all-you-can-eat donut buffet. Marjorie Taylor Greene, in a move that's both audacious and eyebrow-raising, is attempting to catapult Speaker Johnson out of his chair. The reason? Johnson's been a little too generous with the Senate Democrats, bending to their spending demands as easily as Paul Pelosi after a few cocktails. 

This fiscal frolic has raised more than a few conservative hackles, playing out like a classic case of forbidden love: GOP principles on one side, bipartisan spending agreements on the other, and a whole lot of drama in between. It’s like watching Christie decide between a jelly-filled or a classic chocolate glazed—agonizing, unpredictable, and highly entertaining.

As Capitol Hill buzzes with rumors, motions, and counter-motions, it's a reminder that politics is a lot like a donut shop—full of variety, occasional regret, and the sweet, sweet taste of power. And through this all, the only certainty is the sheer unpredictability of it all, proving once again that in the world of politics and pastries, anything is possible, especially at the speed of Christie diving into a box of donuts.
