McCarthy out

Scalise stepped down. If it's Jordan it's another example of the decline of the party imo.

Pretty much.
How do you go on with Jordan as speaker?
A: with ease.

Here's to hoping they see the optics.

Some certainly do, going by public statements.

Here is an interview with Brendan Buck that was a top advisor to two former Republican speakers: Ryan and Boehner.

He's not optimistic.

The House GOP remains in chaos as pure stupid and egos runs rampant.

If Steve Scalise had to choose between cancer chemotherapy and facing the Clown Car Caucus in the House … … it's clear that he chose chemotherapy.

Jordan has the Stop the Steal and Weaponization Committee. Then his guest appearances at Fox and he comes across to me as a weasel. Add in accusations of looking the other way at OSU and the optics don't look real good. However, that doesn't appear to matter much to today's GOP.

 

[Dude#1279435]

I actually agree with a comment Jordan made to Scalise: The voters want me.
I think they want that hard right politician who will bring back the Republic. But it doesn't really mean much to me since the character of some of these individuals is lacking. Jordan I would put with MTG, Gaetz, Trump, Tucker etc.

I've got a new catch phrase to use instead of "Clown Car Caucus". It's "Goat Rodeo" .

I saw an op-ed article in today's Post by Dana Millbank. It began like this:

War in Ukraine and now in Israel. The federal government shutting down in 35 days. These are uncertain times.

But there is one eternal truth, one unwavering constant to steady us when all else is in flux: Every time the House Republican majority tries to govern, it’s guaranteed to turn into a goat rodeo.

Even though I could kind of guess what goat rodeo meant, I looked it up:

A chaotic situation​

​

A goat rodeo is a slang term for something going totally, unbelievably, disastrously wrong, and there's nothing left to do but to sit back and watch the trainwreck. In other words, a goat rodeo is a chaotic situation, fiasco, or, more vulgarly, a shitshow. And yes, there are also literal goat rodeos.​

And agendas.

...and the band played on....

You left out Clusterf%ck and SNAFU.

Here's a different kind of Goat Rodeo-

I liked when Mace said she's never heard of the accusations against Jordan. A simple internet search would probably show that "Gym" is used as much if not more than the real spelling.

Jordan is nominated by the Republican conference as Speaker by 124 votes against 81 for Scott.

Will he have enough votes on the House floor? Perhaps not as many are opposed to him.

US House Republicans nominate Jim Jordan for speaker, testing hardline appeal

Representative Jim Jordan won the Republican nomination to lead the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday, but the hardline conservative appeared to be well short of the support he would need to seize the speaker's gavel.

Jordan will get it. Though if you think of him as "Gym" it gets more difficult to digest I imagine.

I loved drumphies comment about Jordan not wearing a jacket, that by doing such its an indication of how proud of his body he is.....some good manlove brewing perhaps.

It’s not a given that he gets the gavel.

>>>Jordan then called a second vote asking members if they would support him on the floor, in an effort to see if that could shrink his opposition. That vote, which was cast by secret ballot, was 152-55 – laying bare the long road ahead for Jordan’s speakership bid to succeed.<<<

Just such a sign of the dumbing down of america if some asshole idiot like Jordan gets the nod.....the republicans really have followed drumphy to the sewer.....

What sad times....this feels like when aliens take over the Enterprise. For a while.

152-55

Thank you, 25percenters.

Trump gave Jordan the Medal of Freedom. Also Devin Nunes. Hold on tight for my reaction................................................... oh boy.
