My dearest friends, as much as I do not want to accept certain things, this one is critical to accept. Jim Jordan has shown over time that he is simply a purposefully placed “anger manager” on behalf of the Professionally Republican wing of the administrative state.
Perhaps we lost him before the 2020 election, when the “six ways to Sunday” group fired a shot across his bow with the issues about “widespread sexual abuse in OSU’s wrestling program.” The timing seems to fit with the overall dynamic and how the intelligence apparatus operates. Regardless of whether that was the inflection point, the extreme visibility & promotion of the claims, in combination with the sudden disappearance of them, was the impetus –or if it was something similarly timed– something consequential changed in the political orbit of Jim Jordan.
For the past several years, as more intensity has swirled around us, Representative Jim Jordan has appeared as more of a useful “anger manager,” better positioned to satiate the masses than actually deliver any accountability results. The media appearances seemed to align with that intent, and then a very big datapoint surfaced that few -other than myself- seemed to be concerned about.
When the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government was formed, it was constructed in the lane of the House Judiciary Committee. Meaning, the House Judiciary Committee would be the presumptive authority committee under which the select subcommittee would form. For most casual observers, this seemed to be just a parliamentary decision; however, for me it also held concern.
Those concerns were then realized when it was announced that Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan would also sit as the Chairman of the Select Subcommittee. If you are cynical and/or knowledgeable as to how the Deep State operates, this approach positioned Jordan as a backstop against the issuance of subpoenas that would be against the interests of the Professionally Republican leadership. Trying to protect the flickering flame of hope, I held my powder and watched.
What followed was the worst-case scenario that I previously outlined {Go Deep}. It is no longer a question of whether the Select Subcommittee was constructed in an effort to dissuade, dilute and deflect the outrage by the American people who were witnessing the weaponization of government. That’s exactly what the subcommittee result was as a result of Jim Jordan’s leadership.
I told several people at the time, after watching about 5 months of the subcommittee work, “It’s over.” Meaning there never was a genuine, actionable effort on behalf of the new Republican majority to confront the weaponization of government. It was all another farce – another railcar in a “long train of Republican abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object,” gaslighting and kicking the proverbial can.
As much as I did not want to accept it, we were once again victims.
Kevin McCarthy’s Lucy has unlimited footballs.
Jim Jordan is the carefully positioned guardian of Kevin McCarthy. Jordan was the general selected to hang out with the troops and play the role of steering leader; one foot in the trenches and the other foot in the mahogany meeting room. If he did his job well, he would control the glances by the regulars toward the indulgences of leadership.
Jim Jordan did his job very well.
Jordan is corrupt; perhaps that’s too strong a word; perhaps compromised is a better way to put it. Not corrupt/compromised in a way of directly lying, cheating or stealing, but rather corrupt in the same familiar manner that generates all of the frustration we feel. Corrupt in the sense of satiating the masses while being disingenuous in the extreme of creating ZERO accountability.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy used Jim Jordan for exactly this institutional preservation purpose, and Jordan knows it…. and willingly goes along with it…. and willingly plays the role of “anger manager” on behalf of his leadership. That’s the part that has become more obvious and needs to be accepted.
Once you understand this, the next part makes total sense.
WASHINGTON — Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, on Wednesday became the first lawmaker to announce a bid for speaker of the House, one day after Kevin McCarthy was ousted from the top job in a historic vote.
Asked by reporters in the Capitol if he was running, Jordan replied unequivocally: “Yes.”
“We need to unite the conference,” said Jordan, who had just met with Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., a likely rival for speaker, to inform him of his decision.
Later Wednesday, Jordan sent a letter to colleagues touting his work on immigration and oversight issues on the Judiciary panel and asking for their support.
“Now is the time for our Republican conference to come together to keep our promises to Americans. The problems we face are challenging, but they are not insurmountable. We can focus on the changes that improve the country and unite us in offering real solutions,” Jordan wrote. “But no matter what we do, we must do it together as a conference. I respectfully ask for your support for Speaker of the House of Representatives.”
Jordan said he made his decision after many of his GOP colleagues reached out, urging him to run. A source familiar with Jordan’s thinking said the congressman has repeatedly said that choosing the next speaker “will be a decision for the conference” and now the conference is asking. (read more)
Every element of the professional Republican apparatus in DC, positions their interests for the long game.
When a person grabs the flag at the front of the parade, watch who they hand it to… Often, there’s an intent.




Who do you trust, Sundance, to be Speaker.
Kari Lake, Larry Elder, Judge Jeannine
me, myself and i.
Erm….. The Judge and Larry havent been very nice, in fact they have been very naughty in regards to comments made about Kevin McCarthy and President Trump. The Judge just stuck up for McCarthy yesterday.
Kari, perhaps, maybe, but the other 2? Nuh uh…..
No dice!
To each their own, but I prefer the non-pretending world myself.
Kari Lake is unavailable as she is running for a Senate seat.
That’s not completely determined yet….
There are several other MAGA types running for Senate.
Any of them would serve well if Kari gets picked for VP
Don’t want her
Jordan is all hat and no cattle. A nobody.
Ffs, did you listen to Judge Jeannie’s take on Kevin McCarthy the other day on The Five????
She’s more concerned about job security than stating obvious truths. She’s now 100% in the DC swamp.
not true..
she gets 2 minutes to elaborate…
and you are cherry-picking analyzing her……
IMO
Robert Barnes for Speaker
Kari Lake will be picked for VP I think. She has all the needed qualitities to be the VP.
She would also be a devastating Press Secty. She won the Gov election in AZ without a doubt.
I liked her until she started lying on PBD show
Please elaborate, thanks.
Lied about DeSantis and Covid/lockdowns.
What was the lie, that DeSatanist never locked down Florida?
Not Jeannine after she took shots at Matt Gaetz. She is another Maria Bartiromo.
YES to Kari Lake! NO to Larry Elder and Judge Jeannine!
President Trump.
There is not 1 person out there, who CAN be trusted. Not a single one. He is it. Period. The rest of them are blowhard, opportunistic, lying sacks of excrement. That is the truth, in the non pretending world.
There is not 1 of the Republi-cant members, who is real. Each and every one pretends to be MAGA when they need the votes, and then, its back to Charlie Brown Football season.
When you step back and look at the entire group, there isnt anyone with the stones to see justice through. Its a Potemkin Village, full of criminals and fools.
post of the year so far.
Spot on. It’s Trump or bust. Unfortunately. It’s unrealistic to hope for Trump as Speaker but the rot is too much.
Yell it from the rooftops, the mountain tops and the burbs! All of us, in unison…..and then take BACK OUR COUNTRY!
Bob, I posted below and suggested Richard Grenell. He would be very very good.
there MUST be others on his six. And I think there are.
Trump can’t possibly solve this mess by himself in a 4 year term.
But totally he must be elected.
Great question! With every article on here attacking everyone but Trump, who can we trust?
Serious question here!
Its not an attack.
Its the truth. The non pretending version of reality.
These people, have made their beds, with their own words, or action/non action. Actions speak louder than words.
The reality of it is simple.
There is PJDT, and there are the weaklings, and liars. The go along to get along days are over!
I’m re-reading a favorite book of mine called “The Shepard of The Hills” with several weaklings and liars, but more folks like our rightful President, Donald J. Trump.
Read and watch the post here regarding the Tricker interview with Victor Davis Hanson. That will give you your answer.
In short… Trump wins or else we move to civil war or secession or Federalism/nullification.
Criticism backed up by facts are not ATTACKS.
i would like to know that as well. thank you Sundance
Good question, pickings are slim.
Ron Paul
The pigpen for willing subversives is filled to the brim with sellouts like Jordan.
There seem s to be more than enough to occupy every position of power .
They put on a front for about 5 or 10 years until we finally see them for what they are and then they move on to bigger and better(more lucrative ) endeavors.
The trillions at stake seems to be enough to buy off many more two faced duplicitous enemies from within than needed .
As time goes by my respect for what Trump is doing doing for our country grows exponentially.
The first two paragraphs of this post just further supports my long running stance/thesis that the DS/IC (Fourth Branch – Sundance) is running the whole shit show in DC and behind every negative action and adverse event.
I believe in Jordan’s case, he is compromised, but that doesn’t alleviate our pain nor predicament.
The bottom line is the IC is in charge and everyone bows to them for whatever reasons except Trump.
They know it and they know that some of us know it without doubts, and it is becoming more clearer to the rest of us that are still unsure, and raising suspicions in the general public, finally.
THAT is the fear, even more than losing control for control’s sake only, and no one or very few knowing for the better. It is the fear of being exposed for their treason & sedition if they lose control/power.
They know Trump knows it and what he is going to do if in power. That’s why the fear him and are trying to destroy him.
They know we will support him through thick and thin.
And that’s why they are trying to designate MAGA as DVEs or terrorists as exposed today on Gateway Pundit.
Time to finish waking up.
I don’t know why, whether intentional or not, that it seems to me a lot of posts here lately seem to be subtly increasing with increasing references to the IC community behind a lot of the various subjects moreso that previously, but it appears so.
Or, like The Rolling Stones once sang, is it “Just My Imagination” ‘running away with me?’
its the hydra the CIAmerello whistler blower talking about.
cut one head, another is ready to step in.
this system is beat by full resignation and replacement. to many hydra heads within – and they are made by being approached by the Big Club and showed Fate #1 or Fate #2
Noooooo….The Temptations sang the song. Sorry about the quibble but ironically the name suits.
Just loved them in college.
I like that.
Well, not to quibble, NC Mom…. But the Rolling Stones covered ‘Just My Imagination’ on their great album ‘Some Girls’ in 1978…. 🤷♂️
So no knocking Black Knight on that reference….
Now, if BK said the Rolling Stones did the ‘original’ recording of it…. or the ‘best’ version of it… we’d be doing some ‘quibbling’…. 😊
But the the Stones did that great song justice….
Check it out….
The Rolling Stones did their version of it in ‘78.
Edit: Oh…LiveFreeOrDie already replied…nevermind.
Great minds, Charles 😉….
True, but the Stones’ cover was epic!
…Or…
….’Don’t say hi like a spider to the fly
jump right ahead and you’re dead…’
That was not a Rolling Stones song; it was produced and sung by the great R & B group, THE TEMPTATIONS.
I never said it was their song, but they did produce sing one helluva version on the Some Girls album, as I said they ‘sang it.’
Reading comprehension helps.
I think it would be more accurate to say the Temptations wrote and produced the original.
Yes, you said covered and if you are a music fan you know what that means.
Las Vegas op changed my perspective. Prior to that, something smelled fishy. Now, WTC7, Nashville change of shoes, everything covid, OBS burial at sea, benghazi garage video guy, JFK, its a long list. If you don’t believe me I have a golf ball on the moon to sell you. “Empire of lies” is apt.

My favorite: Cesar Sayoc
“We can confirm that 13 IEDs were sent to various individuals across the country. Each device consisted of roughly six inches of PVC pipe, a small clock, a battery, some wiring, and what is known as “energetic material,” which is essentially potential explosives and material that gives off heat and energy through a reaction to heat, shock, or friction. Though we’re still analyzing the devices in our Laboratory, these are not hoax devices.” – <i>Chrissy Wray</i>
Translation into plain English: a small plastic pipe, a little clock, a wire and a match – IED my ass…
Bill Clinton had a balanced budget with surpluses…. Just sayin!
No one legitimate gives one damn this is BS with vanilla Biden ice cream coating.
don’t try DC accounting schemes at home
Removing Social Security obligations from the national debt calculation allowed “Slick Willy” to claim a surplus while the government’s financial obligations continued unabated.
The surplus was fake. The debt increased every year.
The comment, above, reads like it came from that dem operative in the Clinton administration, the Ichabod Crane character. Can’t recall his given name but he’s married to the faux Republican, Mary Matlin. I only know of her because she and I both attended Western Illinois University, home of the LEATHERNECKS!
James Carville. Met him by accident in New Hampshire during the 1992 presidential campaign.
He looks like an escapee from the leper (Hansen’s disease) facility in Carville, LA, his hometown. Leprosy must rot the brain and cause insanity, in his case, at least.
That’s because he had a Republican Congress. Clinton was a grifter who did whatever was needed to maintain his political power. Newt Gingrich ran the show, remember?
That was way back before Newt got neutered by murdoch.
My diehard democrat uncle says Bill Clinton is his favorite Republican.
The ineffective weaponization committee has done nothing to stop the DOJ weaponization and now……..Newsweek says that the FBI is now going to target MAGA.
https://www.newsweek.com/2023/10/13/exclusive-fbi-targets-trump-followers-2024-election-nears-1831836.html
its all insanity.
the election steal is the catalyst. the rest of this is just insanity making people angry
When did they stop targeting MAGA?
FBI Targets Trump Voters As Domestic Terrorists
https://thefederalist.com/2023/10/04/fbi-targets-trump-voters-as-domestic-terrorists-ahead-of-2024-election/
Less than one year before Americans will begin casting their votes in the 2024 election, the FBI is singling out supporters of Republican frontrunner former President Donald Trump as domestic terrorists, a report from Newsweek shows.
Testimony from more than a “dozen current or former government officials who specialize in terrorism” to Newsweek confirmed that this increase in targeting was born out of the FBI’s decision to lump Trump supporters into its expanded definition of “domestic extremism.”…
AND
FBI Creates ‘MAGA’ Extremist Category, Targets Trump Supporters Ahead Of 2024 Election
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fbi-creates-maga-extremist-category-targets-trump-supporters-ahead-2024-election
The Biden FBI has ‘quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump’s army of MAGA followers’ ahead of the 2024 election, according to prolific (and well connected) anti-war journalist and political commentator, William Arkin, who has previously reported on the FBI’s efforts to “Fight MAGA Terrorism.”…
…The agency has even created a new subcategory of threats, “AGAAVE-Other,” to denote those who are a threat but don’t fit into its anarchist, militia or Sovereign Citizen categories…
ALL of us??? Good luck with that. Even the ones who are closet supporters? I haven’t read Newsweek in 20 years.
I was shocked by the reference to MAGA in the news week article as ,”Trumps Army” Not supporters or voters!!!
Is this even legal? Is it possible to appeal to the Supreme Court about this?
Ask Jim “Air” Jordan how his much publicized investigation of New York DA Alvin Bragg is going?
Bragg told Jordan to go away and drop dead which is exactly what Jordan did!
Bragg wasn’t even issued a subpoena by Jordan.
Yep. Uniparty member that puts on a good medicine show for us. I bought the tonic like many others but it was just firewater that didn’t cure anything.😳👀
[ did drink his kool-aid at all. good talker but no follow through. easy to see that coming.
“Printed on recycled paper”…and full of recycled lies. It’s all part of the master script to dismantle the nation, impoverish the masses, tighten the stranglehold on power, and ensure that MAGA never again prospers. The gaslit media consumers continue to pin their hopes on restored election integrity. They desperately labor under the illusion of choice which serves only the secret (or perhaps not-so-secret anymore) society of statist swindlers.
Have a nice evening!
It doesn’t surprise me in the least. At first encounter Jordan seemed like a really good guy. But as time went on nothing he said or was involved in ever came to fruition.
Evoking memories of Trey Gowdy
Yup
The Greasy Rooster Strutting.
This is how I picture that clown.
All hat, no cattle. Just an actor, and not a very good one.
I caught onto Gowdy sooner than Jordan.
Never forget the database.
When and how will this “Wash, Rinse, Repeat” cycle ever end? It’s the same as the definition of insanity! “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Pray for President Trump!
never. 400,000 years ago men left the cave…walked/hiked/fought over mountains, snow and rain, killed the beasts, dragged the carcasses back to the cave and then the women would clean and cook the meat.
I don’t understand.
Matt Gaetz gets rid of McCarthy and wants to nominate Jim Jordan.
Who is the real Matt Gaetz?
I’m beginning to believe that ALL of this has brought us right back to the same movie we have been watching for quite a while. Think I’ll pass on the popcorn this time…
I have the same question!! Gaetz gives a fiery speech about being judged by history, leads a “revolution” against McCarty and the Uniparty to “take back the country”…and then says that he could support either Jim Jordan or Steve Scalise as Speaker?! What?!!
Matt says Jim was his mentor.
Perhaps Jim and him were doin’ some greezy rasslin’…
I didn’t see anywhere in the article where Gaetz nominated Jim Jordan.
I didnt say in this article.
Here Gaetz nominates Jim Jordan.
https://rumble.com/v3mu7ww-matt-gaetz-nominates-jim-jordan-to-be-next-speaker.html
I like your take on this. It makes way too much sense. How do you feel about someone like Devin Nunez if Trump turns the job down?
its whoever was 2nd last time.
Would be a great pick, IMO….
Though, at the rate we’re going, Sundance will write a post as to why he is corrupt and compromised in 3, 2, 1…. 😂 😂 😫
But seriously, until further notice, I see Nunes as an honorable and courageous guy who obviously has PDJT’s stamp of approval….
But what do I know? I liked Jim Jordan until about a year ago when I realized he was ‘faux outrage’, Hannity-prop guy.
One thing is certain, McCarthy can not be reelected as speaker, because if he were, he would take his anger/revenge out on the MAGA crowd that voted him out!
I don’t have Twat (or X or whatever it’s called these days)…what were the responses to Sundance’s Tweet?
Here is my favorite response.
” It’s like replacing Comey with Wray, all over again. “
Bingo!
Or more appropriately, replacing Boehner with Ryan –
Jordan was touting his “work” on immigration?
Wait.
What!?
Well looks like he is doing a bang-up job there!
He’s a letter writer.
But.. BUT… But..
they are STERNLY WORDED LETTERS !
It’s called politics and they are ALL CORRUPT. Kabuki theater at it’s best (or worst, depending on how you look at it). There are actually Americans who still believe that these CONgress critters are doing their best for us. That’s what’s really sad and frustrating. And since Gaetz supports Jordan, how much theater was the removal of KM? What is really going on behind the scenes…another LOOK, squirrel!!??
Where did you read where Gaetz supported Jordan. Jordan is McCarthy’s buddy didn’t see anything in this article about who Gaetz supports.
Dogs and ponies and CIA
Jim Jordan’s nephew, Eli Stickley, died in a single car accident in July, 2018. Much like Loeffler aide & Brian Kemp’s daughter’s boyfriend Harrison Deal in Dec 2020.
Just sayin…
Dealey Plaza is portable. Who knew?
There’s nowhere that it hasn’t migrated.
I’m not sure there won’t be some objections.
Or, some back room talks.
https://x.com/RepMattGaetz/status/1709375166784893054?s=20
I really can’t like Eric Bolling. He was so busy trying to frame his questions to get the answers (or digs in) he wanted, he had a hard time getting the question out there.
Didn’t enjoy the last minute having to listen to Kevin whining about how unfair it all was, when that’s always been the rule. Too bad, so sad that he’s the first one it was used on because he lied about his intentions.
Matt did great, in this interview and he never mentioned Jim Jordan (at this point anyway). He called Eric out on a couple points, and I did enjoy that.
I hope he stands strong and doesn’t become just another one of the turncoats. He’s an on-his-feet thinker and seems to have a very good mind with all the facts in place.
If he’s a good guy, he’ll be very very good – if he’s a bad actor, it’ll be too bad and just be the same old same old.
Praying for God to give him strength and guide him in the right way, and to be beside him in the tough times ahead.
I read here every day and each day I become more angry, more depressed and more convinced that we cannot ‘vote our way out of this’. What the H are we to do? This insanity has to end.
you get to know your local yous, via rallies you make – eventually to be on the same day/time as other PDJT events in the nation. those become meeting locals – to protest after the steal.
Volunteer to become a poll worker, ballot counter for election day, early voting and primary voting; and get your friends to do that too. Keeps us in the loop of what’s going on locally, would be a good start.
belize has good weather.
Pray to God and declare, proclaim the results you want to see happen. Words have power – use them and look to God for help!
Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
This is quite obvious at this point, with the depravations being forced upon our whole nation.
Yes, we need to do what we can in the physical, but it’s extremely important that we reach out to our own supernatural One – the Source Who is over all things. We will not be able to defeat those who work against us, not by ourselves – because their power is beyond the physical.
President Trump as speaker, while it would be fun to see the liberals heads explode, he realistically isn’t going take the position. That said, the next best choice for the country would be Richard Grenell. He would make an excellent Speaker. (And as former acting DNI, he knows where the bodies are buried.). Just something fun to think about.
Kash Patel
That’s actually not a bad suggestion. He’d burn the House down.
Exactly
Jim Jordan would be Paul Ryan 2.0. We know he is a snake. Do not let him in!
Well, not to nitpick but, technically, Kevin McCarthy was Paul Ryan 2.0…. So Jim Jordan would be Paul Ryan 3.0….
I mean, for those scoring at home…..
Boehner 5.0
Fair point… I’m sensing a trend…. Dennis Hastert 6.0? 🙄
😂 Was he a crybully too?
I told my husband how vocal Jordan seemed to be back in the day, how sincere. But I haven’t felt that from him in a long time. He used to be so much better than this last inquiry he presided over that proved him so ineffective. Like a doused mouse, there is nothing else we can expect from Jordan. I personally feel Joe Kent from WA state, ran for District 3, would be a formidable speaker. But my dream is Mark Robinson.
It seems appropriate to mention his book, “Do What You Said You Would Do” and how he has not done so.
We are no longer appeased with the Trey Gowdy approach to trying to save our nation.
https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/do-what-you-said-you-would-do-the-conservatives-in-congress-who-laid-the-groundwork-for-president-trump-and-helped-drain-the-swamp_jim-jordan/28439779/#edition=59287127&idiq=53070170
Once again a mans Deeds are more important than his words, Mr. Jordan has the words but lacks the deeds. Sad to see what a lack of honor to his nation and position has wrought. I figured when he thru his hat in the ring so quick the jig was up. Maybe it should go to someone that is not seeking it and will do the heavy lifting that is needed.
“We need to unite the conference,” said Jordan . . .
EFF your unity!
Furthermore, I consider that the Derp State must be destroyed.
My boy! ✅😂😂😂
He voted Nay
That’s all anyone needs to know
Donald Trump says he is willing to serve as speaker
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/10/breaking-donald-trump-says-he-is-willing-serve/
I was honestly shocked when Matt Gaetz floated the name of Jim Jordan as a possible successor to McCarthy, along with Steve Scalise!! Both of them have been pure Uniparty obstructionists and Gaetz has to know that…so what is he playing at when mentioning them as being people he could support as Speaker?!!
Jordan is clearly Trey Gowdy without a jacket – ALL talk and absolutely ZERO action, unless you consider endless social media posts and Sunday morning talk shows appearances as “action” which I, for one, do NOT!
And have there been ANY statements from either MTG or Lauren Boebert since the vote yesterday?
I just posted same just below you. Then read your message. You and I totally agree….NO. next.
Scalise…Jordan…may as well have kept McCarthy.
Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.
Mark Meadows compromised as well. Or just plain corrupt? MTG on Truth praising CODE PINK this evening. Traitors all.
Maybe they were part of Jordan’s wrestling program.
He’s all snake. I believe he was the worst leaker.
Jim Jordan is a Trey Gowdy…fast talking, tough talking..ALL talk….DOES NOTHING….he’s as swampy as McCarthy….
NO…next.
This is just one reason I hope President Trump DOES run. I don’t know if the “nomination” I heard about last night is all it takes, or if the candidate himself has to declare. But one way or the other, I’m hoping it happens. Of course Trump actually becoming Speaker would be amazing beyond words. But even if not, even just the debate and voting process could be of extreme importance. I mean can you IMAGINE a Republican rep forced to stand on the floor of the House and declare he will NOT vote for Trump? To me, that would be even more harmful to that person’s political future than the impeachment votes.
So anyway, now that I think about it, maybe President Trump WOULD have a real chance. Because I’m just not sure there are enough Republicans brave enough to, with the whole world watching, vote against him.
Oh, and would it make people like Jordan or Scalise have second thoughts about running themselves? Hmm…
.
ARE THERE SO FEW REPUBLICAN CONGRESSERS (or other public officials, or judges) that just haven’t done stuff that they can be blackmailed over???
Is it really that hard to live a life in which one doesn’t write/post unforgiveable things, engage in dishonest dealings, cheat on the spouse, behave in some stupid sexually perverse way…
I am feeling so frustrated.
While perhaps it may be arguably true that “everyone has secrets”, those “secrets” should be along the petty lines of, say, re-gifting Aunt Ida’s Christmas present, or not telling your current boss that you’re looking for another job. Not anything you could be IC-controlled-blackmailed over.
Is it really so hard to Just Not Do Anything That You Wouldn’t Want To See Published On The Front Page Of The Newspaper?
.
I was so afraid of this. I watched the rally when Jordan caught President Trump’s interest. I thought Yay! we have someone on our side. I agree, the accusations broke him. Didn’t they come around the death of a loved one? I feel sad for him. I feel more sad for our country.
McCarthy behind move to kick Pelosi out of her office, sources say – so he can move into it
Kevin McCarthy was behind interim Speaker Patrick McHenry’s move to kick former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former Majority Leader Steny Hoyer out of their office spaces, two Republican sources told CNN.
GOP Rep. Garret Graves told reporters on Wednesday that McCarthy is getting the office that McHenry has ordered her to vacate.
“Look the deal is that the office that Pelosi is in right now is the office of the preceding speaker. Speaker Pelosi and other Democrats determined that they wanted a new … speaker, and it’s Kevin McCarthy. So, he’s getting the office,” he said.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/03/politics/pelosi-vacate-office-capitol-mchenry-interim-speaker/
*******
Can someone please point me to the Deal Section of our Constitutional Framework? Not a scholar so having a hard time finding it on my own. Any information would be helpful as well appreciated.
All Jordan does is yammer, and I can’t listen anymore. We need someone not in party leadership, for if they are, they’ve been too close to McCarthy. Byron Donalds, Wesley Hunt, Mike Johnson, Clay Higgins.
I should like to see Devin Nunes considered for the role of Speaker.
He knows the system, fought it, got clobbered by it, and remains to my knowledge, intact with his integrity.
Others may differ, but I would support him in that role. He’s a fighter and a principled man.
Sundance’s article ties in with this.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/10/fbi-creates-new-terrorism-category-trump-supporters-lead/
I read that and posted it somewhere on here and I find it frightening.
These straw men they send out front are being outted way to quickly . It would usually take years, maybe decades before
their masks slipped and their uniparty snouts were visible. What happens when we see through all their plays from
their playbook? When we point & laugh at ALL of their careful crafted deceptions?
I think them “rich men north of Richmond” are in real trouble & they know it.
Mark Meadows won the triple crown as he was appointed Chief of staff of the DJT presidency. He rose to the top of the back stabber class that Trump trusted. I wouldn’t let either one of these sellouts near him again.
Serial whiner “One Eye McCain” from Houston (Crenshaw) once complained that there were many members of the Freedom Caucus that were frauds and phonies. At least he’s an honest crook, am I right?
Reminds me of Trey Gowdy, Chavez and some of the other now Fox “news” hosts….at one point I had high hopes for him, but given the past 9 months of seeing NOTHING happening even though they could have been flying through the issues we all face, I’ve been very disappointed in Jim Jordan, et. al.
Mike Davis pegged it in the beginning – he repeatedly said they had not been staffing up or doing any of the activities they should have been doing if they were serious about J6 (where is the video?), indictments, investigations, etc.
GFY Davis? When I see him pop up on War Room I can’t help but say hey, it’s GFY Davis.
All his carnival barking, and nary a solution, even when Republicans had all branches means he is disqualified from SOH as ineffectual. He may be the zinc plug, compromised or corrupt-regardless of reason, nothing came of him. Pick somebody else. Heck, I’d do the job. It would suck, and come with peril, but someone out of the 300 million in this country has to be better.
This is one of the few times I disagree with you Sundance. I think you may be ahead of your ski’s on this one. Would your opinion be the same if you found out McCarthy controlled both the number of people he could employ in his investigations and who and when he could subpoena? If you could answer this question, I would appreciate it.
In the meantime, I will go with my instincts. I believe (1) he did not run for speaker last time because he had important things he wanted to accomplish, (2) McCarthy tied his hands, and (3) he know believes he can only accomplish these important things as speaker. Moreover, I believe he has the necessary communication skills and a fire in his belly to accomplish these important things and that no one else has that fire in the belly.
I am going to have to agree here and play contrarian (as well). Give the guy a chance with the reins of power and see what type of chutzpah he actually has when he is in control. Either way, we’ve got to find out and the only way forward is to expedite the situation. All those hiding in plain site who would do nothing, or at least little, to save the republic as it is clearly in the throes of being purposefully destroyed must be flushed out, one way or another. So what if he turns out to be another compromised or impotent swamp thing…? We must *know*. And you never know… maybe the guy is actually pissed about what’s going on and has been constrained/restrained by the real power brokers up until now. Maybe once he’s got the gavel (and with a high quality leadership to help guide him) he will turn the corner and start going scorched earth using the considerable powers of the office. Either way, there is no way forward but expedience. None could fully reveal themselves and hope to survive anywhere near the true centers of authority (and they virtually never have historically). Give him a shot. Courage is contagious and just maybe he will prove to be the man we once thought he could.
What about Elise Stefanik?
Elise Stefanik, according to Rich Baris, would be a faaar better Trump MAGA Speaker pick than Jordan or Scalise.
I highly recommend listening to Episode 401 of Peoples Pundit: Inside the Numbers, that aired today.
The whole podcast was blunt real world honesty about Kevin, the Republican Establishment and possible Kevin replacements, including Jordan.
Plus Rich included why who the Speaker is matters so much, especially in terms of electing genuine, courageous Reps.
I generally respect Baris’s opinions, but I guess I’ll have to listen to the podcast because Stefanik for Speaker is like McDaniel for RNC Chair.
Both Jordan and Scalise would be better than McCarthy, but both would still suck. Outside of a vote on Trump to really show who needs to be kicked out (because some people *still* don’t get it on most congressmen), I don’t see a realistic candidate (Nunes seems like he would be good), so Gaetz will make a deal, and after the next election we can boot the next traitor.
Trust no one, this is WAR. Keep your head on a swivel and stay frosty my friends, stay frosty…
You’re going to hear a lot about Gym in the next couple weeks.
Then who?
Gaetz
Gaetz said he was not interested.
