At this point are we sure we will have speaker before 2025? 🤣 Jordan literally cover up sexual assault, never sponsored a passed bill in 16 years, lied about election, was part of January 6, instigated investigations that found nothing on President and did not honor subpoena in the very body he wants to lead. The Republican Party is dead
What do you mean? He checks off a lot of boxes for the GOP and its voters.

Apparently the idea is to give Jordan the weekend to work on the holdouts. All 60some of them, of which about half hate his fucking guts.

No problem for a man of his natural charisma and charm I'm sure.

Could you imagine if this were Ted Cruise in this situation in the house? Al Franken was on the YMH podcast some months ago, and when they asked him "who is the most disliked person in Congress," Franken blurted out OH TED CRUISE before they could even finish the question. He told a handful of awesome stories, involving himself and other GOPers, like Lindsey Graham (apparently Franken likes Ms Lindsey, personally), just trashing on Ted Cruise, and especially to his face. I think it was one of the GOPers that asked Franken to write some Ted Cruise jokes for her at some fancy dinner event. They even workshopped with Ted Cruise about how much shit they could pile on him, which he apparently enjoys, especially because he never seems to understand the jokes, haha.

And it's not a partisan opinion--literally everyone that has met Ted Cruise in life, especially in politics, absolutely hates that piece of shit. Apparently even his gaslit voters in Texas hate that horse manure if they ever have the misfortune of ever meeting him.

I'll never forget John Boehner: "I've never met a more miserable son of a bitch in my life than Ted Cruise."

How about you take the shitty south and leave our country and start whatever non democratic white nationalist Christo fascist state your party is all about??

If your roof was leaking would you leave or hope for a solution? While at the root it seems unfixable, there is a decent chance we hold the evil GQP away for a chunk longer. And there's a lot of great things in this country, especially in my geographic bubble, whichare still great, as long as the GQP is held at bay for longer.

My family is here, and my mom is getting old so sticking around. but I'd gladly move to Europe sooner than later. If I had an easily transferable career, it would definitely be in my plans already in a 3-6 year window.


We all know. You just love to bitch and moan.

Or you could actually give him credit for saying a very basic truth.

What has Trump actually accomplished since 2016?

And same for Republicans? I'll give you Bush republicans at least had no child left behind!

But since 2016.. what positive stuff are they accomplishing now?

Have you actually benefitted from even one of their policies in the last 7 years?

Or are you just in denial that it's the same party of your younger years!

Think it might be harsh but maybe it's time you admitted it yourself, these current Republicans are RINOs and care more about culture war nonsense.

That f***ing "tax cut" during the trump admin totally F'ed me in the A**. Republicans showed their true colors with that one that they don't give a F about the middle class.

Did you only get the tax withholding cut from the paycheck?

Seems like some of the mods are caving. Still he has a ways to go to get the holdouts under 20 looks like, which would still fail on the floor.

Jordan seems to think there is some advantage on going to the floor even if it fails.

It seems to me he thinks the pressure from a recorded vote will cause more people to cave. High risk, high reward, I guess.

Probably. Even if he makes it the same dynamic that undid McCarthy will undo him. Too many wildly different promises to make to factions of the party to keep. To say nothing of dealing with the Senate or Biden on the budget.

Jim Jordan is obviously out touch with reality. Ten years InCongruous and not a single bill not to mention the metric tonnes of bullshit conspiracy theories.

And you don't f*** with reality. He'll find that out soon enough.

Looks like the few sane Repubs left vow to have a candidate to run against Jordan tomorrow so people have a place to put their anti Jordan votes


I think they HAVE TO in order to prevent a Jeffries win (depending on # voting).

So if he gets it then he insists on giant unpopular cuts to discretionary programs that go nowhere then what?

Like what is the actual plan here? I assume there isn't any besides to obtain power and worry about the rest tomorrow.
