After a lengthy and often combative GOP conference earlier today, Jim Jordan’s office has announced there will be a 3rd vote for House Speaker Friday at 10:00am.
“The House will vote Friday at 10 a.m. on a third speaker ballot, according to Jordan’s spokesman.” {link}
The UniParty Republicans had earlier floated an interim proposal to grant temporary House Speaker Patrick McHenry with additional authorities which would gain Democratic vote support. The concept was to get the House through a round of funding for Israel and Ukraine aid and avoiding a shutdown, until January. However, that effort fell short as the non UniParty Republicans would not agree to the plan.
Jordan spoke briefly about that issue following the conference meeting. WATCH (46 secs):
.
(Via Politico) – […] Republicans are split. Jordan, for now, isn’t ready to call it quits, and some of his backers are gearing up for trench warfare.
“I can tell you, nobody in our conference can get to 217 on two rounds, and three legislative days. So I think he deserves more time,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), a Jordan ally, told reporters. “I’m in favor of trying. For Jordan, I would go at least another week.”
Yet his opponents insist there is no negotiation to be had that would result in him winning the gavel. They’ve already detailed death threats and intimidation efforts that they say have only hardened their anti-Jordan stance. (read more)
The House GOP Speaker’s race is a system of conniving and positioning for a cushy committee assignment, indulgences from the lobbyist control apparatus, office locations and Machiavellian influence for the best junkets and largest leadership PAC deposits. That’s the truth, the non-pretending truth about the system at work behind the GOPe House Speaker vote.
This internecine professionally Republican stuff has nothing to do with principle centered leadership, and everything to do with self-indulgences and personal affluence.
Here are the 22 professional Republicans who would prefer to see a Democrat House Speaker:
♦ Don Bacon: (202) 225-4155; @RepDonBacon (voted McCarthy) ♦ *Vern Buchanan: (202) 225-5015;@vern Buchanan (voted Donalds) ♦ Ken Buck: (202) 225-4676; @RepKenBuck (voted for Emmer) ♦ Lori Chavez-DeRemer: (202) 225-5711; @RepLCD (voted McCarthy) ♦ Anthony D’Esposito: (202) 225-5516; @anthonydespo (voted Zeldin) ♦ Mario Díaz-Balart: (202) 225-4211; @MarioDB (voted Scalise) ♦ Jake Ellzey: (202) 225-2002; @JakeEllzey (voted Garcia) ♦ *Drew Ferguson: (202) 225-5901; @RepDrewFerguson (voted Scalise) ♦ Andrew Garbarino: (202) 225-7896; @RepGarbarino (voted Zeldin) ♦ Carlos Giménez: (202) 225-2778; @RepCarlos (voted McCarthy) ♦ Tony Gonzales (TX): (202) 225-4511; @TonyGonzales4TX (voted Scalise) ♦ Kay Granger: (202) 225-5071; @RepKayGranger (voted Scalise) ♦ John James: (202) 225-4961; @repjames (voted for Moolenaar?) ♦ Mike Kelly (PA): (202) 225-5406; @MikeKellyPA (voted Bainer?) ♦ Jen Kiggans: (202) 225-4215; @JenKiggans (McCarthy) ♦ Nick LaLota: (202) 225-3826; @nicklalota (voted Zeldin) ♦ Mike Lawler: (202) 225-6506; @lawler4ny (voted McCarthy ) ♦ *Marianette Miller-Meeks: (202) 225-6576; @RepMMM (voted Grainger) ♦ John Rutherford: (202) 225-2501; @RepRutherfordFL (voted Scalise) ♦ Mike Simpson: (202) 225-5531; @CongMikeSimpson (voted Scalise) ♦ Steve Womack: (202) 225-4301; @rep_stevewomack (voted Scalise).
The Dems are salivating over Republican incompetence……..again.
Not really, since they get what they want ask the time regardless.
It’s not incompetence. It’s treachery.
It’s not just incompetence. It’s also deliberate.
That, I wish more people understood that.
This right here….
“Republican incompetence…” …to stall funds for two wars under the guise of putting in a somewhat conservative House Speaker? It sounds like a very nice “twofer” to me.
They are on the same team.
As long as this prevents the House from financing any Biden and Democrat projects, I’m fine with it. They can stay home until DJT is sworn in again for all I care.
In a certain way it speaks for Jordan to be rejected by the kings on the Hill.
Indeed.
Why?
Jordan won’t get anything done either.
The Dims come out on top any way this goes. As usual.
I disagree.
They always get things done.
Just not anything that benefits America, or its people.
NOTHING EVER happens in CONgress, in front of the cameras, that is not scripted, staged and pre-planned, and INTENDED for us to SEE and hear, in order to DECIEVE us.
THAT is a fact.
Hence, either this current brough ha-ha is the first “Legitimate” event in modern times to stray from that fundamental truth (Un frickin likely!) …OR this is all more kabuki theater.
I suspect the problem with actually putting Jordan in as SOTH, is that he will quickly be exposed as fake, when he doesn’t make any substantive changes.
He is NOT going to make J6 tapes available.
NOT going to get the House back to “regular order” on budget bills.
And they ALL know it, including Gaetz who supports Jordan.
So, whats it really all about?
Very good point! This is mostly about the money for Ukraine, the Representatives don’t want to lose their cash cow, Israel will be a forced afterthought and our border will get nothing. Jordan will follow the path of McCarthy, a BIG compromise because “what else can he do, he doesn’t have the votes”. There are very few honest people who serve as our Representatives. All this is FAKE!
Unlike McRINO, Jordan would release all of the J6 videos.
I see this as the “king makers on the hill” dragging Jordan through the mud a few more times before granting him the Speaker’s gavel. Make sure to broadcast the struggle so that everyone is clear where Jordan was not the shoe-in candidate. This puts a weight around the Speaker’s neck making sure he damn well understands that he better be prepared to play ball with his “political adversaries”, otherwise somebody’s gonna Kevin McCarthy his butt right out of that Speaker’s chair.
Last thing the uniparty needs is some uppity speaker thinking he can run with his own agenda.
It’s not about the money. It’s about the power.
Rule number one: Follow The Money!…….It will lead you to the ones who crave power, which takes the form of control.
It’s about both!
Money and Power
are
Evil Masters
I can see that strategy. It is possible. But I like to give Jordan ( who else???) the benefit of the doubt.
Maybe, just maybe, he will acquire a backbone We The People want and need to get through this Biden episode…..
Maybe they take out another one of his relatives to remind him to play ball.
Not really. They don’t lose much with Jordan. The regime needs a way out of the Ukraine debacle. They’ll still largely get what they want in terms of money. There will be no impeachment – we know who the Republicans are now who are protecting Biden.
It’s not a battle over a couple of milquetoast candidates. It’s the Government Party telling us (again) that we get NO SAY in who rules us.
News breaking on TGP about RINOS who took money from FTX boy.
All Jordan holdouts.
Rutherford was on the list.
Fourth day in a row – pardon me momentarily while I light up his stinking, lying, grifting RINO ass AGAIN!
Plus there is an investigation about to get underway by Mike Gallaghers committee about Sequoyah Capital and its use as a front for the CCP to aquire American capital and also steal technology to fuel their military that NONE OF THESE 22 want yonsee undertaken because they have all been bought off!!! It will be 80% Dems who get hit but 20% Establishment/RINO types like Kevin McCarthy, Mike Turner and Patrick McHenry who will also be caught up.in this!!!🤔
Sequoyah Capital?
Was that one of those firms in NY that Hunter had connections too?
Hell, I’m starting to get some of them mixed up in my head.
Thunk Ken Griffin one of DeSantis sugar daddy’s!!! He has pushed DeSantis to publicly state he opposes any and all sanctions and tariffs proposed by Ptesident Trump on China! Gee, I wonder why!!! 😝😝😝😝😝
10-4.
Hunter’s was Seneca something – two Iroquois names is where I got confused.
Thanks.
Seneca Rosemont
Sequoia Capital is the name. Silicon Valley venture capital firm whose major players are Chinese or working for China.
Yes, Rosemont Seneca is another.
That was breaking news on Bannon this morning.
I betcha it’s way more than 20% of the elected GOP. They’ve been sleeping with the enemy for 50+ years.

It is Hilarious!
WHO Wanted to PROVOKE GAETZ into a Fist to Cuffs ? Did ANYONE LEAK IT YET ?
Is that OJ and his white Bronco?
Yep!
Drag it out, by the time the republicans vote for a speaker the 2024 elections will be so near that the new speaker won’t have the time to have gotten anything done that we the base have demanded of the republicans, mission accomplished.
If you just donate to their campaign they will get it done this time.
Exactly.
The texts I have been getting begging for money are off the chart. No matter how many times I STOP they keep coming.
Funny, I NEVER get ANY of those texts or email requests.
And yes, I regularly use WinRed to donate to PDJT, and have also used to donate to Kari Lake, and once to Cara Castronuevo.
I think early on I MAY have gotten one or two such texts, and replied “I am MAGA, and go f*ck yourself.”
Only, didn’t use the asterisk. So, give it a try, what do you have to lose, lol.

@RepThomasMassie
This is a speech you won’t want to miss from the next Speaker of the House! Floor vote to follow at 10:00 a.m.
I will have no problem missing it.
Where he will announce that he’ll support massive increases in Ukraine LOSING war funding … because “Democracy” or something. Or just to follow Biden’s WWIII speech …
This internecine professionally Republican stuff has nothing to do with principle centered leadership, and everything to do with self-indulgences and personal affluence.
BOOM!
Please?
It’s ALL about the Benjamins. 💲💲💲
All I can say is that Rep. Mike Kelly Pa represents my district in PA. He is a former car salesman. And his belly button sticks out further and further, almost popping the buttons off his shirt each year he is in office. It’s really a “good thing” for me that Fetterman is in the Senate. There is no Moon I can see tonight else I’d be howling at it just to take off the pressure of doing my best to process an overdose of insanity.
Found in the bin… 🙁
Trump said the other v day Jordan will have the votes soon. Not so sure about that.
In any case, Jordan has a tendency towards words not action and the House being paralyzed is actually good for liberty. Just think of all the bad ideas they won’t be voting in favor of over there.
Hopefully, we’ll be saying “Trump was right, again!”
Yes, but bumbling biden and his merry cabinet members are still on the path to destroy the US.
EXACTLY !
Yep. I’m all in for a deadlock and a shutdown. Outside of closing the border, the less they get done the better
Jesus Joseph and Mary, why can’t the R’s coalesce around Jordan? The D’s vote en-masse for their candidates, but we cannot unite with Jordan???
We are trying to save our country, yet the R’s will not stand behind “We the People”???
What am I missing here???
The prime seat at the trough is more important to them than we the people.
Big donors threatening holdout RINOs to withhold money if they vote for Jordan.
And if they go that route they will lose their primary. Why doesn’t that seem to bother them?
Because CNN and Fox has their back? Laundering will continue through their book deals? They don’t give a flying frick about America?
The fix is in?
And the FTX mule scam highlights how these big donors get their patsies the money.
Because some who say they are Republican are actually not. Infiltrators.
What you mean “SOME”, keemosabe?
And the Dems vote en masse even if the candidate is braindead.
Obama purged the Democrat party like Trump is doing. They all think and vote the same way. Republicans are “big tent” and can’t anything done.
Republicans are not “big tent”. That’s a scam like “free market principles” which let China loot the country while any attempt to stop it were labeled anti-free-market.
“Big tent” adopts and accepts the Left’s moral framework around the kamikaze mission called “diversity, inclusion, and equity”.
One thing I’ve learned about Conservative Inc over the years is how when you think about it a little you realize how reactionary they are – and how desperate they are to be perceived as in the cool kids club.
Your missing that NOBODY in the House, NOT ONE is “trying to save our country”.
NOT Jordan, Gaetz, MTG, Boerner,…NONE of them.
And, the House is not, can not POSSIBLY do ANYTHING even remotely moving towards that goal, and can ONLY do things moving in the opposite direction, regardless WHO is SOTH.
Hence, deadlock is a GOOD thing.
Because it’s not an R party. And it’s not a D party…it’s a damn Uniparty. No D’s from the Uniparty ever vote as R’s. But R’s from the Uniparty always vote as D’s.
It’s a nice scam they have perpetrated. And if you look around, you will find all the fools who still believe in the scam. And you will even find fools who think these Reps still serve we the people. DC relies on these fools. And these fools help them steal from you.
Peter Schweizer breaks down what he calls the dirty underside of the Speaker’s race.
According to Gateway Pundit, blame goes to Scallise as well as thirteen of the twenty-two Republican holdouts who appear to be tied in with Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX scandal.

Democrats are totally unified, Republicans have 22 Traitors, Not Good
There may well be more traitors than that. It doesn’t take a huge number to take a hit for the home team and tank a bill, or prevent a nomination, etc.
It is how they play the game. You five say “nay” this time. Next time the eight of us will cancel something, vote for something, etc.
Back and forth.
Lying, scheming, duplicitous con artists.
No loyalty to country.🇺🇲
No loyalty to God.🙏
Only loyalty to 💲💲💲.
Sorry, the Uniparty has the D side all sewn up. It’s the pesky non-Uniparty crowd that have been elected as R’s that are getting in the way. This is not R vs D…that’s a sham. Stop pretending it is not. Rather it’s a Uniparty vs We the People power struggle. And the Uniparty is starting to realize they have lost some grip on power…..not enough but some.
Well, the uniParty’s going to have trouble getting that mega-war aid package teed up in the House if there’s no speaker, unless it’s Jeffries of course.
If that happens the Republican Party is dead, if they aren’t already.
I’m thinking they’re dead. Just need a new party to form and voters are likely to stampede to it after this showing.
https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/f7fc58f3-035f-4bee-9e83-270f010aedcd
No RINO or nothing.
Let the RINOs vote themselves a Democrat speaker.
Let the GOP swamp show themselves naked to the voters, not camouflaged from voters by their pretend resistance and RINO media.
Let them shed their wool fully, show their fur and set themselves up to be primaried. Let the voters show who the voters are themselves, and where they are.
Better the devils you know, and the voters know, because with another RINO speaker it’s just going to be similar results stinking up the nation with more RINO hot air.
Let the ensuing catastrophe(s) be laid out for all to see and the Swamp to choke on their denials. Let it get owned by the Swamp–for all to see.
We’ve done the other before, forever, for decades, and here we are in the mess we’re in. Doing the same thing and expecting different results…
I would go in the same direction, but farther.
Let ALL see the true nature of the Uniparty,… read that again.
What we have primarily been doing, since the tea party, is clueing in the Republican base, as to the traitorous, complicit nature of the RINOS.
But, to a lesser but still significant degree, Democrat voters have also begun to realise we have ONE party rule, disguising itself as two parties.
I Have been saying, for 4+ years “a one winged bird can not fly” and this is what that means. EACH wing of the Uniparty, gives “cover” to the other and the exposure of the true nature of the Uniparty has now extended beyond RINOS and R voters, and about 30% of D voters are realising it, as well.
Exactly, and we need to continue to expose them. They can handle one or two being exposed here and there….what they can’t handle is the lid being ripped off and a flashlight being shined into the can- everyone can see the insects scurrying and they can’t hide it. Trump lifted the lid off, provided the flashlight and we MAGAs have turned it on and shined it directly into the can. The Uniparty can’t hide so they use their bullies- FBI, DOJ, CIA, DHS, IRS, and other agencies to keep us in line.
Butting heads for positions at the trough, and running to cnn after the vote for street cred. DC is 100% corrupt.
I don’t know if anyone saw McCarthys response today, but my 2 year old shows more maturity.
I have my doubts about Jordan, but I sure am enjoying this clown show on full display.
Matt Gaetz said it best today that “the only reason there’s chaos in town is because the special interests aren’t in control anymore”… Now I wouldn’t go so far as to say they aren’t in control, but they sure aren’t getting the after dinner Sundae right now and they are throwing a full tantrum.
This is only good news. Everyone gets to see just a little more of the masks falling off the crumbling uniparty faces
Hopes are rising for Kay Granger’s retirement via primary in March.
Good.
The one thing that is absolute, RINOS can’t be trusted. They side with democrats if it’ll hurt Republicans and they hate MAGA candidates.
“F**king Talk to His Stupid Ass – You Must be a B*tch to Marry a F***ing Ugly Motherf***er like That” – Wife of RINO Holdout Gets Threatening Call
….which she promptly turned over to CNN.
I wont condone that kind of verbal harassment, but my growing frustration with these uniparty holdouts is mutual.
Is it Live or is it Memorex?
What is the real reason?
I am tired of all the republicans complaints about this being a shite show.
We are supposed to believe we have never seen a public brawl for leadership in our nation. There have been worse and our frail sensibilities prevent us from recognizing this isn’t meant to be a made for tv moment.
Think back to Chicago 1860 – Lincoln was not picked on the first or second ballots. Joe Biden would have you believe he cast the 233 vote for Lincoln on the third ballot.
In 1856, Representative Preston Brooks physically attacked Senator Charles Sumner on the floor of the Senate.
Little compares to that love affair between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr culminated in a deadly duel.
So this little kerfuffle isn’t really that big a deal.
Thank you greatly for your history. I got a good laugh over my misreading I read that you said Brooks attacked Schumer.
Only problem is I wasn’t alive to experience those shite shows.
Should perhaps clarify ‘attack’ didn’t mean a shove and dirty looks; Brooks BEAT Sumner with his briar cane, and the only reason he didn’t kill him (probably) was the cane broke, but he really messed sumner up.
All because Sumner said Brooks was a “Damn liar” which was an insult to his honor.
Would actually wish any in the House took perceptions of their honor that much to heart.
And these Republican RINO Blueblood *sshats had no problem creating shiteshows when it served THEIR interest, no problem insuring Dems beat a successful primary challenger, etc.
Don’t worry. Joe Biden was. He can tell us all about them.
Exactly. The pearl clutching by R wing of the Uniparty is hilarious. Oh, the threats…the horror….oh, the humanity. Meanwhile people sit in prison, with no trial for three years, because of Jan 6th.
Yet, the IRS and FIB threaten Americans daily.
Yet, the southern border and lack luster DAs all over the country. Yeah, talk to me about threats you sorry ass Reps. And, I don’t care they are being threatened in the same manner they don’t care about what we the people think or want.
Agree and how many voting sessions did it take to finally vote McCarthy in?
Scumbag Ken Buck was on CNN today to explain why he’s not supporting Jordan. His main reason?: That Jordan won’t come out and “admit” that the election wasn’t stolen, that Biden won fair and square. So yeah, Buck is scum. But the GOOD news about that is that apparently Jordan REFUSED to go along with Buck’s demand. If true, that makes me feel a lot better about Jim Jordan.
Buck is emblematic of most of the GOP since 2020: purposeful conspiracy of silence and/or denial that a color revolution / coup d’etat occurred.
Because the GOP was in on it from the beginning: https://www.trevorloudon.com/2022/01/deductive-reasoning-the-gop-was-in-on-the-steal/
Yes, because they were intimately involved, and it could not have been pulled off without Republicans.
And, becausecto admit the 2020 and 2022 elections were stolen, means EVERYONE elected or reelected in those elections, has an asterisk after their name, like steroid era hall of famers.
Purple Revolution comes to mind. Bill and Hillary’s pic tells it all, but her excuse was it was for bipartisanship saying red and blue make purple. It’s funny how they had these purple things waiting in the wings just in case she lost when they were so sure she was going to have a win. The Real Reason Hillary Clinton Wore Purple For Her Concession Speech | Vogue
These people truly are the scum of the Earth. Biden “won fair and square”? Yeah, just join the other team already, you Uniparty creep.
“They’ve already detailed death threats and intimidation efforts that they say have only hardened their anti-Jordan stance.“
Produce the evidence or you’re just democrat liars with scripted talking point… like the “intimidation & threats” 🐃💩
And calling one’s husband ugly is not a threat….the fact that is the one call leaked is hilarious to me. You can hear the peral clutching so clearly “Oh, she called my ugly husband ugly-oooohhh, ohhh, the horror, the fear….I’m so afraid…ohhhhh, ohhhh…..What? Oh, FTX delivered again, even though doughboy is in jail? Ohhh, the horror….let me count the ways.”
Jordan started the Freedom Caucus and I am sure many Rinos hated the Tea Party and they hate the Freedom Caucus just like they hate Trump. Jordan was an unthinkable choice a few years ago.
It all interferes with their grifting lifestyle. So inconvenient to answer to the people you represent.
When will they realize that the old lies used to cover up their money laundering no longer work with the public? The gig is up and they are going to have to like it or leave the party.
“Report: Lee Zeldin was seen heading into Jim Jordan’s office.”
Zeldin is probably there to help move votes to Jordan (especially the three reps who voted for him).
But it is possible he is there to take the torch from Jordan next if Jordan can’t get across the finish line after several more votes.
Are you thinking they will elect Zeldin now that he left Congress?
Those 22 sure do have a problem with single item bills.
Can’t hide the pork in them.
Its a potempkin speaker of the house vote. All of the house members know this including jordan.
Lets pretend shall we?👀😳🦨
They should vote through this weekend. That will motivate them.
Glad to see Jordan fighting for it… but honestly a frozen House is as good, if not better, than a functioning one.
I would argue it is functioning just fine. Certainly better than the last 25 years.
1998= $5,526 trillion
2023= $33 ,52 trillion
Now if we could just freeze the Senate and White House the country might start to recover from the mess these politicians have gotten us into.
This may have changed their position on Jim Jordan.
GWP-EXCLUSIVE: 13 of 22 RINO Holdouts Derailing Jim Jordan Are Connected to FTX and Voter Mule Donations
Guest post by Erin Clements
CONGRESSMAN STEVE SCALISE (R-LA), WHO IS UNDERMINING JIM JORDAN FOR HOUSE SPEAKER, TOOK MONEY FROM SAM BANKMAN-FRIED’S ILLEGAL FTX CAMPAIGN FINANCE OPERATION, AS DID 13 OF THE 22 RINO HOLDOUTS
According to Breitbart, Steve Scalise (R-LA) is the driving force behind the twenty-two RINOs who have prevented Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) from clenching the House Speakership after two rounds of votes. Trump-endorsed Jordan is the clear choice of grassroots conservatives. A top House GOP aide reported, “[Constituents] are literally melting the phone lines. Some offices’ numbers are permanently busy. Thousands and thousands of people are calling their members of Congress demanding Jordan for Speaker.”
But several sources are claiming Steve Scalise is orchestrating the holdout that is preventing Jordan from clenching the speakership, including Debbie Dooley, a grassroots activist and Louisiana native:
Why would Scalise want to undermine the clear choice of the people and President Trump? Evidence unearthed by grassroots researchers in Scalise’s home state of Louisiana indicates that Scalise is has taken money from the FTX money laundering scandal.
The Former co-CEO of FTX, Ryan Salame, pled guilty early last month to “Conspiracy to Make Unlawful Political Contributions and Defraud the Federal Election Commission and Conspiracy to Operate an Unlicensed Money Transmitting Business.” Salame admitted that his job at FTX was to illegally funnel money to Republican politicians and political causes, while his co-conspirator, Sam Bankman-Fried, funneled money to Democrats. According to Salame, the donations were to support initiatives supported by Bankman-Fried. Bankman-Fried’s dearest initiative appears to be (Joe Biden) himself<—-, as he made the second-largest single donation to his 2020 presidential campaign.
Another initiative of Bankman-Fried was Steve Scalise, the man currently preventing Jim Jordan from becoming speaker. Bankman-Fried’s straw donor and co-CEO, Salame, donated $2,900 to Scalise a month before the 2022 Midterms ($2,900 is the maximum donation allowed by an individual):

“The UniParty Republicans had earlier floated an interim proposal to grant temporary House Speaker Patrick McHenry with additional authorities which would gain Democratic vote support”.
does democratic vote support mean support from democrats or can republicans also provide democratic vote support?
This about Rutherford and, by extension, the other 21:
https://tomwigand.substack.com/p/congressional-republicans-gaslighting
Make them keep voting. Each time, it exposes more and more of their complete betrayal of their district voters. These 20 or so must be in districts that are rigged on election day by the uniparty or they are retiring.
I’ve said over and over, if you give the GOP the House, the Senate, and a bulldog like Trump in the WH, you’d get 2016 to 2018 all over again. No doubt about it. All of this stuff just solidifies that line of thought. Totally disgusting.
So, you can buy a politician for $2900. I knew they were hos, but not $2 hos.
Just drag a $100 bill thru the Capital bldg. you’ll have a line of Congresspeople following you right out the door.
I would lay down a large bet that those threats were Feds pretending to be MAGA or they were completely non existent.
as you say – once you see the strings….
I sincerely hope that Jim Jordan will not fold and will keep the fight on the floor for months if need be.
these swamp creatures can not win, not now , not ever again.
Here’s the deal. MAGA patriots must let the 22 GOPe members know that it’s not only about them being primaried…it’s about their constituents sitting home to MAKE SURE THEY LOSE THEIR SEAT.
Further, all MAGA voters must call both of their Repub senators & their Repub rep AND let them know to spread the word that millions & millions are going to stay home in the 22 affected districts…and LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY FALL.
It’s time to take a REAL stand & let these mofos know we’re done with the lesser of the evils BS.
Tell them to bring it…our country is doomed anyway in the direction it’s headed.
Maybe they should just consider eliminating the position altogether.
Would have to ignore the Constitution to,…oh, never mind.
Who would be third in line for the presidency?
Jordan is only marginally better than Scalise (and I was strongly against Scalise), but ultimately I don’t care one iota who the speaker is – only what whomever it is actually does (and doesn’t do). Regardless of who it ends up being, there should be absolutely 0 dollars allocated for Ukraine. There should also be absolutely 0 combined funding bills, continuations, or omnibus bills. Pass them one at a time, most important first. As far as the executive branch and its agencies, they can let all of it rot forever without funding.
—–
One thing I’ve not seen mentioned is Pelosi’s boy McCarthy’s press comments after the caucus today. The little slimeball actually had the audacity to whine about “the crazy 8s” removing the speaker when “the rest of the caucus is for him.” (note his sound bite slander of the 8 (who are for the people) being fed to the propaganda arm of the Obama Oracles)
Ignoring the sound bite name calling, McCarthy is currently involved with “the twerking 20” preventing Jordan from being elected the next speaker when “the rest of the caucus is for him.” He is the one that needs to sit his bored out receiver down and shut the hell up.
Here’s his whine and dance:
As an aside, the “whole country” would be screaming at him (McCarthy) and his merry band of corrupt RINOs, not at Gaetz – which should be obvious even to the most dense based on the “melting of phone lines” in SUPPORT of Jordan and the deafening silence when it came to support for him to remain speaker.
In that clip his gayness has never shined brighter. I wonder how his wife spends all the money in exchange for being his beard?
Uniparty doesn’t want Jordan, ipso facto, he won’t be speaker. This seems crystal clear to me.
” The concept was to get the House through a round of funding for Israel and Ukraine aid and avoiding a shutdown, until January. “
They are holding Israel hostage to Zelinsky.
All of this makes one wonder if there is a “parliamentary” reason to keep the house closed. Is there any hidden agendas being served by this melodrama. “The plays the thing ”
FJB F them all
Well, yes. The investigate to exhonerate ‘limited hangout’ hearings had shown about as much as they could, and if not shut down by this would be seen as simply petering out.
Any time spent shut down for this Speaker business, is time they are NOT doing anything with ‘investigating’ Biden Inc. Weoponisation, etc.
I hope he finds the answer…
“What is the real reason?”…
Like he doesn’t know?
I don’t understand this…
Just ask all house members to mail in their ballot with UPS (stamped envelope provided) and announce the result next week that Jim Jordan won house speaker with 80% of the votes.
Everybody denying this result will be a called a ballot denier.
Geez.
And no signiture verification.

Now, do as they did with Warnock and start unravelling those strings. See how many individuals on government assistance or making little to no money, also donated numerous times, sums much greater than the earnings they bring in….then go to their house and talk to them- watch the surprise on their faces when they learn they have been donating for years….
O’Keefe has already done that with Warnock, now do it with these fools.
This is the best we can do? the great pretender, Jordan’s toothless anger alot like Trey ,all hat , the gay wrestling might have something to do with Jordan losing his teeth.
I know nothing about Patrick McHenry.
Is he a Democrat in reality?
“Mike Kelly (PA): (202) 225-5406; @MikeKellyPA (voted Bainer?)”

[From rollcall.com:] “The chamber broke out in laughter when Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania called out the name of John Boehner, who once dubbed Jordan a “legislative terrorist.”
During his own days as speaker, Boehner saw Jordan and the Freedom Caucus he helped to found as a painful thorn in his side. In the face of a threatened revolt in 2015, Boehner gave up the gavel and resigned from Congress, with no love lost.”
[A Tears-of-a-ClownWorld Banana-in-the-Tailpipe Republic, if you can keep it.]
Jordan keeps wavering a bit — he supported the temporary speaker proposal — but Gaetz keeps knocking him back on track. It’s clear now the hope was 1. Jordan could talk his way into getting more votes, 2. Jordan-backers hoped constituents would put enough pressure on the hold-outs to turn them.
But, there really is no other way to get those votes, apparently. The lobbyists and special interests groups are pissed off at Gaetz, and their 20 purchased-congressmen feel confident enough to deny Jordan the votes.
