This is how economies collapse. Bank runs get out of control from people pulling their deposits because they worry if their money is safe. People wonder if their bank deposits can be seized by the state for bogus reasons. (in this case, “fraud”, which is now very loosely defined) (sort of like how Law Enforcement in this country does “Civil Asset Forfeiture”) The graph shows they pulled their money out in 2022 when the war first started, then put it back after a few months. But I think it is going to be different this time, as the Muscovites endure hardships like power outages and gasoline shortages on a daily basis something that did not occur in 2022)

Yet another piece of evidence that Russia is finally running out of options and the line from Hemingway is going to apply here:

“How did you go bankrupt?"
Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”

MTG seems to just be the first of many.… More resignations are coming.. Though Johnson keeps the gavel even if Republicans become a minority, unless 9 Republicans band together and vote for a new speaker.

This is a quote from a Senior Republican House Member.

This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL ….

“More explosive early resignations are coming. It’s a tinder box. Morale has never been lower. Mike Johnson will be stripped of his gavel and they will lose the majority before this term is out.”

But even falling into the minority on a relative number is NOT an automatic challenge to Johnson.

They need NINE Republicans to break ranks and vote to vacate the office Speaker.

UPDATE: But as pointed out in the comments, if the Democrats got to the majority because of vacant seats, they could force votes for anything and everything via discharge petitions, (though they would be on a 30-day delay)

And remember how the math works. For votes other than votes to elect the Speaker, the votes drop when there are vacant seats. There are currently 3 vacant seats (Sherill’s, Turner’s, and Green’s), of which 2 of them will be filled in the next 2 weeks but Sherill’s will be vacant until April

with 434 Members. (1 vacant seat) Majority is still 218 Members

With 433, It drops to 217)

with 431, it becomes 216)

So if half a dozen Republicans resign early (see my comment about who I think it will be, MTG plus five others), the magic number would be 215, which is 2 more than the Democrat’s 213.
