Rand Paul And Marjorie Traitor Greene Call For Speaker Elon Musk

On the eve of a possible government shutdown, Republicans on Capitol Hill are taking the time to call for a change in leadership in the House Republican Caucus.

Both Senator Rand Paul and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene have publicly come out to suggest that Elon Musk become the next Speaker of the House, while Congressman Thomas Massie has confirmed that he will not be voting for Speaker Johnson in January.

First, Rand Paul, a Senator from Kentucky, wrote that "The Speaker of the House need not be a member of Congress . . ." and suggested that Musk should become the next Speaker.

Then, Marjorie Taylor Greene came out and suggested Musk to be the next Speaker of the House, seemingly walking back comments made earlier this week where she affirmed her support for Mike Johnson.

The chances of musk getting the votes to be speaker dwindle. Republicans are quick to anger. Musks threats while probably real are angering those in “his” party. Trump is a cancer. Musk is a cancer. America is the patient. Johnson is a coward. Rand Paul is a fool. MTG is “inDICKtable.” I bet she could shed some light on a January 6th pipe bomb.

Trump wants him in the executive branch, MTG wants him in the legislative branch.

Let's just make Musk Emperor of the world, and everyone will be happy.

Would start laughing at them, in their face, just laugh at whatever bullshit they projectile vomit at any time. Just laugh and point.

Why can't any of us?

I mean, if any unelected neophyte can be installed to lead the U.S. House of Representatives, I want to submit my name...🤔

You'll note that Randal isn't suggesting Melon Husk be the new Senate Majority Leader because even he isn't that fucking suicidal...
