McCarthy out

[Dude#1279435]

One piece I read said if Jordan were to get Speaker, he'd be next in line for the presidency. Yikes!

Anyway I'd forgotten how involved Jordan was in trying to overturn the election....

Timeline: Rep. Jim Jordan, a Systematic Disinformation Campaign, and January 6

Starting in August 2020, Jim Jordan's coordinated effort to shape Trump supporters' belief in a stolen presidential election and January 6 as the "ultimate date of significance" to overturn the election.

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.

He was part of the failed Trump coup, but sadly he has so far avoided any consequences for his actions.

Jordan is nothing more than a little turd cloned from a bigger one (Trump)

I think it was McCarthy who offered Jordan on the Jan 6th committee (ie to blow it up). Pelosi refused it.

Indeed, and then McCarthy withdrew all his candidates for that committee and threatening any Republican wanting to be part of it.

In retrospect this was a dumb move by McCarthy as now the committee got two Republicans caring about democracy and truth about what happened. This greatly increased the quality of the committee’s investigations and reports.

He does represent over half of the House Republicans so the room the conference is meeting in must have an awful stink.

I'm sure he'll win the speaker, but the GOP will lose more respectability.

 

[Dude#1279435]

I'd love to see Jordan lose.

 

[isolar8001]

Man, why are Republicans so ugly ?

These far right GOP'ers want Trump suckup in there.

 

[Dude#1279435]

The current game plan I heard was making speaker vote public to put pressure on the minority I assume. Jordan strikes me as making multiple attempts at the chair.

I know, almost as ugly as a Democrat from Pittsburgh !

The vote on the House floor for Speaker is public where each member is asked by name who they vote for.

If you mean what the Republican conference can do, well, they can do whatever they want. I assume that they’ll first have to put that to a vote in their caucus.

Me: I vote for Not Jim Jordan.

Who knows if Jordan actually got the majority of the votes in the Republican conference. After all, it was “secret” with many opportunities for him to steal the nomination.

I still think he gets it unfortunately.
