Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the House Freedom Caucus founding chairman who has become a household name due to his penchant for leading bogus investigations into his political foes and creating ample programming for Fox News over the years, will attempt to become Speaker of the House today.
The coup continues.
Revel in all her shaved glory.
And it will be at least ten votes to get a speaker. Maybe more. Or less.
See how to hedge your predictions.
Imagine if Jordan’s antics were so abrasive as to cause 5 or 6 Republicans to split off from their party out of shear disgust and caucus with the Democrats. Could it happen? We’ll see.
Like Gym, I’m just going to look the other way…
So will the party of degenerate morons elect a degenerate moron as their leader? Such drama!
Strange how young men wrestling seems to intertwine with the GOP speakerships…
Obviously. Qevin wants to be the last best option after the FailCaucus decides to stop shooting itself in the dick.
I believe we’re thinking small. On the one hand, maybe we’ll have a handful of Republicans suddenly vote for Jeffries. (Hey, a gal can dream! But I’m not a gal and not dreaming, so probably not.) Or maybe His Orangeness will suddenly enter the chambers on a sedan chair and take the gavel as the cult glows with adoration.
Or yeah, a bunch of votes followed by Shouty Ohio “winning.”
Looks like your kitten had an ultrasound. I hope it’s ok!
This is a real pick your poison for House Rs with any sense of conscience or caring about the country or even the future of the R party. It was only a matter of time before the Trump contagion fully infected the House R caucus, and Gym Jordan would be that. A Trump surrogate in the Constitutional line of succession because Rs hate Ds more than they hate each other no matter how vile their leaders are.
Those Rs in Biden districts who vote for homosexual rape cheerleader Gym Jordan are just as screwed as if they are primaried by Jordan-backed flame throwers. He’ll NEVER work with Ds and shut down the government, default on the debt, reneg on any prior agreements, and play the blame game without concern for the country if it leads to more power for his side. So with Jordan as Speaker, willingly taking “credit” for shutting down the government to “save America” – while fending off TRUE charges of ignoring physician rape of college wrestlers he coached – we will have our ALL IN moment of whether the voters in this country care if elected leaders are demons as long as they price of gas is low enough. For my conscience, I am eager to know.
You know… the answer seems kinda obvious when you ask it that way.
Those GOPers that had the moral courage to do so were primaries las election cycle. Republican voters don’t want “principled conservatives”, they want avengers, vandals and cowards that would go with the flow.
Voting for a bully is voting for a fascist.
Was obvious two weeks ago that Gaetz was doing Jordan’s bidding.
Just gonna repeat something that Tom Nichols said: "The fact that you and I are living in a world where it is at least notionally possible that Jim Jordan would become the speaker of the people’s house and in line to the presidency of the United States is so utterly fantastic, not because Jim Jordan is some, transdimensional warlock. But because he’s an idiot… These Frankensteins were never supposed to get off the table.”
Once again…it only gets worse from here.
Somebody will need to massage their genitals if that happens.
Maybe Gym knows a coach who could do that?
Wait, Coach committed suicide.
