The Big Ugly battle over control of the Republican Party in Congress was always going to be big and ugly. We are witnessing the professional Republican apparatus fight hard to retain the UniParty business model that affords them all the affluence and indulgence they are accustomed to.
By now we well understand the nature of the DC political system as a business model. Factually, that’s why congressional candidates spend millions to take a job earning a few hundred thousand. The business of DC political life is filled with background payments to politicians, family and friends. The business of DC politics provides a life of affluence that is disconnected from most understanding.
Jim Jordan lost his third effort to secure the House Speaker role in a floor vote earlier today. Following the floor vote, the Republican Caucus held a closed-door meeting and another secret ballot to determine if Jordan should continue. When they didn’t have to put their names in front of the public for scrutiny, 122 professional members of the Republican Party voted against Jordan, with only 86 votes in support of Jordan continuing. Jim Jordan from Ohio is done.
Within the voting and the turmoil, we see the axiom bell ring true. Democrats want power, Republicans want money. Democrats use money to get power, Republicans use power to get money. Democrat donors support ideology. Republican politicians chase donor money. This is the essential difference in the two wings of the UniParty apparatus.
♦ What becomes visible…. Threaten the power of Democrats, and you receive the weaponization of government. Threaten the money of Republicans, and you get this Big Ugly outcome. That’s what we are witnessing.
On the positive side, with each passing example more American voters are starting to understand the nature of the UniParty apparatus. Within this painful understanding you find the reason why support for Donald J. Trump grows. Trump threatens the Democrat power structure; so, they weaponize the full weight of government against him (Main Justice, FBI, IC, FISA, the works). However, Trump also threatens the Republican structure of affluence; so, we see them step aside and willfully watch the weaponization of government against their common enemy. That’s also what we are witnessing.
WASHINGTON DC – In a shocking turn, Jim Jordan on Friday lost an internal GOP vote that was intended to show confidence in him remaining as his party’s speaker designee.
The Ohio Republican is now no longer his party’s pick to lead the House, a demise sealed by a GOP secret ballot just after his third failed floor vote as a speaker hopeful.
It was an unexpectedly fast end to the Ohio conservative’s candidacy to lead the chaos-ridden Republican conference — and a sign that the flailing party is fed up on its 17th day without a speaker. Lawmakers now plan to leave Washington for the weekend as the next round of ambitious Republicans decide whether to mount their own speaker bids.
But most Republicans acknowledge that even with new faces to consider, they still have no clear path to uniting their splintered conference. They have already rejected two speaker candidates — Jordan and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise — as well as former Speaker Kevin McCarthy during this month alone.
McCarthy gave voice to a sentiment that’s growing within the GOP: The party’s inability to run the half of Congress that it narrowly won doesn’t bode well for its broader future.
“I’m concerned about where we go from here,” said McCarthy, who had been backing Jordan. “It’s astonishing to me, and we are in a very bad position as a party.”
Jordan’s loss of the speaker nod from his party came as something of a surprise, since he had sought the internal vote with allies preparing to cite it as a show of continued support for his candidacy. Instead, the secret ballot revealed that while Jordan’s public opposition never topped 25 votes, scores more House Republicans wanted to see him out of the race.
[…] In all, 122 Republicans voted to boot Jordan as their party’s nominee, while 86 said he should remain their choice, according to two people familiar with the private discussions. Five members voted present. (read more)
Wall Street, the multinational corporations, the billionaire donors, the people who control the ‘illusion of choice’ mechanisms within the Republican Party apparatus, are all smiling. Meanwhile, Main Street USA is once again furious. But remember, the Wall Street group just doesn’t care. As long as they retain full control over the puppets in DC, including at least 122 Republicans in the House, the multinationals are happy.
The Big Ugly battle continues.
It’s a BIG CLUB, and we ain’t in it…. YET!
One can hope that with the trappings of future influence gone, Jordan goes scorched earth.
But as has been famously pointed out, hope is not a strategy.
SPOILER ALERT: If you thought our battle for the political heart-&-soul of America was down to a mere 20-22 critters who publicly voted against Jordan…you would be wrong.
They only allow those who are willing to vote AGAINST our interests to run and WIN!
Ya right.
“…hope is not a strategy.”
Without hope, strategy is lifeless.
Can’t someone nominate him from the floor again?
The issue as I see it is this.
When voting in secret (i.e. in the own interests) the Republicrats voted overwhelmingly against Jordan in comparison to their public vote (when they pretend to be representing voters).
The private vote represents the real opposition to Jordan, and it is far too heavy to overcome.
Partially. It’s the same old tired game that’s been played far too long. The Retardicans “allow” a certain member to vote a way to retain the support of their Conned-stituants. That way when elections roll around their voting record looks good – even though they in NO WAY support that type of vote. The Retardican leadership allows so many of their members to vote against their interests – knowing full well that they really support their interests.
It’s ALL an illusion.
Upon re-reading your comment – I now see that what I said is what you said… 🙂
The 20 that held out are no different than the Turtle’s bullpen.
They drag a few Uniparty out to vote against the conservative interests, who then take the heat for the rest who wanted to vote the same way.
They choose people like Mike Kelly (PA-16 , Uniparty) who have a safe seat.
Wake up NW PA and find someone to primary his sorry ass next year!
I wish President Trump would quit giving the fraud Kelly shoutouts when he”s having rallied in PA.
What’s the point? The 122 snakes are going to exposed sooner or later.
We now understand why nothing much got done that matters in the first two years of Trump’s presidency
86 can say I am Spartacus!!?? [Jordan]
So who are the 122 snakes?
Secret ballot
The point is to mess with the GOPe
Whose next to run?
Zelensky.
More than half the members of congress worship him.
Does anyone REALLY care?
Do you think WE will “get”;
access to J6 tapes
Regular order with single subject bills, no C.R.’S, Omnibus or pass to read.
Any defunding of FBI, DOJ, etc.
Any SIGNIFICANT action from any committee hearings, such as say,…IMPEACHMENT inquiries with charges of TREASON.
Then in the end, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
The best we can “hopium” for, is continueing to block ANY SOTH, as a ‘backdoor’ way to block any legislative action, such as $ to Ukraine, still more $ to illegals, under the GUISE of passing legislation for funding to Israel.
At least, force RINOS to join publically with their Dem collegues, so that ALL, not just the R base, but the D base as well, can see how it is ONE party with two wings.
Their September CR runs out November 17th. Which side will be increasingly desperate as that date grows closer?
As Bannon has said for months now, make them hug each other. Publicly.
BAnnon believes in blowing up things but sometimes you can’t put things back together at all and your biggest enemy wins.
Fear not. The Constitution is resilient.
I would say to you “Be of good courage” but oh wait, you have none.
IN my 50 years of voting I voted for 1 dem for state legislature. I will support and fight for DJT but I am done with GOP period. The days of well you might not be crazy about the GOP nominee but you cannot vote for a dem.McCarthy guaranteed the house to dems with the debt cave, with the unmasking of the real GOP guarantees a dem win of biblical proportions.
Yes. 3Mikey – GOP just strangled the goose that laid the “golden egg”
What? I have not seen any golden egg since January 20, 2021. Just after we lost the color revolution
Right you are Dutch about blocking legislation and budget. I believe this is a blessing in disguise!,
Maybe the runt McHenry.
I’m thinkin’ Kevs makes a comeback.
I think that’s always been the plan.
God, Family, America…I’m in the bigger club and THEY ain’t in it!
O Lord, hear our prayer.
Love it Arminius ! The Lord’s own win in the end , despite the pain along the way !
“For I know the plans I have for you…plans to prosper you and not to harm you…plans to give you hope…and a future.” Jeremiah 29:10-12
I want to be in your club!
Old Fish…you’re already in The Book!
Amen Arminius been a card carrying member of the bigger club since 1959 .have a great day
R.D.
I was baptized in 1958…that’s how long I’ve been one of The Chosen!
So true Arminius!
That quote by George Carlin is used often to depress or discourage us into thinking we have no power or ability to change things.
A few, like you, have said so what we need to star our own club and exclude them.
Ty Chloe. I would suggest that the Carlin quote is not used to discourage us but, rather, to remind us to stay grounded in reality…or putting it another way…to see the truth as it is and not what we pretend it to be. (Hat tip Sundance)
Agreed A ! Understanding perspectives, been in This Club since 1955 !
Thank you for all your posts!
As Pat Buchanan would say in New Hampshire on the ’92 campaign trail, and always giving credit to Thomas Jefferson…
“A little rebellion now and then is good for the Republic!”
Well said.
TJ, they hung a big ole picture of Sally in your drawing room!
Is Tommy J asking/calling for Civil War
Too bad there are no longer any statesmen nor stateswomen. Self serving grifters all.
Potential is out there. Honorable, salt of the earth types that could be great Statesman.
How does one convince another of taking that path when they have no intrinsic desire for that sort of life?
That’s the task before us. Convincing the best of us to stand up and serve for a time, selflessly.
Yep and its been corrupted since congress incorporated dc as THE UNUTED STATES 🦨🦨 many years ago.
Without a House Speaker, no spending bills can be introduced or passed. If the conservatives are willing to take the pressure and just wait, then the lobbyists will force the RINOs to conceed.
I LIKE IT Snellville Bob!
I think it will be that the lobbyists will PAY the RINOs to conspire with the Dems to elect a completely malleable RINO as next Speaker so that the gravy train can get back on track.
The RINOs are not going to concede anything that might hamper lining their pockets.
^ This
Pay Masters will have the Uniparty go ahead and elect Patrick McHemry Speaker.
That will force the UniParty to hug each other… in public.
If that is the case, “no spending bills introduced or passed”
then I say we wait until after the Nov. 2024 election to
address the issue of speaker LOL
This is the administration which discovered a 6B accounting error in favor of Ukrainian aid.
The money will continue to be burned, regardless of where it comes from or if it even exists.
Mini government shutdown without all the closure.. I am fine with that.
I hope they drag this out as long as possible..
They will find a war to get more money for the endless war machine.
When they think there is no chance left for them to prevail with the GOP, the RINOs will just openly collude with the dems and give control of the House over to the dems. Hell, McCarthy’s last crappy CR had every single Dem vote for it, save one.
Hate to disagree Bob, but I think they will really sellout with a high likelihood of choosing a D.
I don’t think they would choose a Democrat. That would pretty much end the Republican party. Unless that’s what they want; make the Uniparty official.
If only.
They will sell out in short order even it if it’s a coalition with Jeffries.
That is exactly how much they hate MAGA having a voice. They do not want America First.
If the Uniparty picks a Dem, the RNC will cease to have any legitimacy and that makes taking over the Republican Party so much easier. Additionally, the Repubs that publicly vote for a Dem will get a cease-&-desist for their political career with either a RECALL or a NO vote.
Cowboy up Treepers!
Sadly, the threat of losing their seat no longer has the teeth since they get uber lucrative lobbying and/or media gigs post ouster. Just ask Boehner.
The party has been largely irrelevant since the TEA Party and DJT is the only way it garnered steam.
They are trying to do exactly what they did to them.
BUT…if there are not a significant enough Critters to sway anymore the numerous lobbying gigs go away…especially when MAGA gets into the woodwork and fabric of society…then the AMA won’t even be able to go get Pawlenty (thank you VinWeber) as their president like they did 15 years ago because doctors (and patients) will start to ask leadership…”WTH ARE YOU DOING HIRING A POLITICIAN? THAT WILL CAUSE US TO LOSE TRUST AND SUPPORT!”
At least, that’s my hope.
The GOP / RNC is no longer relevant RIGHT NOW! We need to clean sweep ALL OF THEM….out the door! ONLY WAY to be sure we got them all…. I’m ready , are you?
Money issues true.
But the PAC and large individual donations and dark money (other) is already loaded into the offending RINO accounts for ’23-’24.
Use OpenSecrets.org to look down at the bottom of each of their pages and see how much money is already there.
The small contributions are ZIP in those listings.
They’ve already been bought, and it is up to someone to primary them in the next cycle with someone that will pledge to remain clean.
That’s why I didn’t want JJ to quit.
“Yet!” This is the Great Awakening and the course is via The Big Ugly. Light is always the best disinfectant…now look. This all ends when We the People say enough.
Ultra-MAGA!
“Democrats want power, Republicans want money. Democrats use money to get power, Republicans use power to get money. Democrat donors support ideology. Republican politicians chase donor money. This is the essential difference in the two wings of the UniParty apparatus.”
^^^THIS^^^
Thank You Sundance. These are the words that need to be burned into every freedom loving American who wants to regain, and retain the America we came to know and love. These are the words we need to help us understand the behavior of the DC corruption.
money equals power
power equals money
So there will be another CR with Bite Me / Obie spending as much paper money as they want to launder money for Ukraine.
There cannot be a CR until there is a SotH so the UniParty is in quite the pickle at the moment…
No reason they can’t give the Speaker Pro Tem the powers of a ‘real’ Speaker.
The UniParty must hug each other publicly for that to happen. The illusion of a 2 party system will explode.
Put the names of all the Republican members of the House in a hat.
Draw one name.
That’s the new speaker.
That would be better than the situation we now have.
Actually, I like the situation now.
I do too B71…I like this a lot…it’s certainly better than K-McC, aka Frank’s roommate.
Me too. None of this crap matters to the citizens.
To be honest I see zero downside in a frozen chamber of the House.
Obviously we can fret and fear what “they” are planning but it seems that “we the people” are coalescing around a common theme… we are “fed up”. We are done with the crap, ignoring the talking points, and unifying behind a single voice… our voice.
The talking heads are exploding as their diatribes and conflagrations are failing. With each prosecution of a conservative outweighed by the ignorance of clear fraud we grow more stern. We are no longer approaching a point of inflection instead, as Sundance notes, we are there.
This is a monumental and worldwide battle against very sinister forces. It will be a very difficult period until Nov 2024 and then a complete mess from that point through the swearing in of President Trump.
We’ll be lucky if we last until next November. with things as bad as they are that looks like a very long year.
WT,
Agree, but its not things are suddenly going to be sweetness and lite, once PDJT is inaugerated, as you seem to imply.
Our enemies will fight, and fight dirty, and we will have to be prepared to do the same; they will NOT “go quietly” or concede one inch.
WE will need to take MAGA control of State Governments, in order to use the trememdous tool of Federalism, to supplement what PDJT and his Wolverines are doing, so we ‘attack’ both from “top down and bottom up”.
” but its not things are suddenly going to be sweetness and lite, once PDJT is inaugerated, as you seem to imply.”
Agreed…
Agree, but it will start well ahead of innaugeration.
I’m praying for a government shutdown ! May this congress stay paralyzed for the rest of the term !
Personally, I hope chaos continues and prevents them from inflicting more harm upon the citizens of the Unites States. Their being broken is a plus for us.
Chaos always wins, because it’s better organized.
I sincerely hope that every one of the Jordan “yes” voters reject the next RINO that “the Club” puts up.
As the deadline for expiration of the current 45 day CR gets closer, look for the RINOs to openly conspire with the Dems to select a completely K Street bought and paid for RINO to be the next Speaker.
After all — the biggest problem of a “government shutdown” is that the money flows to RINO back pockets gets interrupted. Can’t have that!!!
OH NOES!!!!!!
Anyway…
Love it Bets!
They’ve outted themselves, Arminius.
With the able assistance of Matt Gaetz.
Money is no… er…the ONLY object.
an “As is” offer?
As advertised! What you see is what you get.
All Sales Final!
I don’t know about the ‘For sale, best offer’ meme. Me thinks it might be better if it said; ‘For Sale, All offers accepted”
Or reduced For Quick Sale.
<smiles>
That works too!
😁👍🏻😘
For the GOPe members, they can have a white elephant sale.
THAT was funny dd_sc!😂🤣😂🤣😂
Yes, THEY have ALWAYS had this option, and recall it was threatened, during the “9 days to elect McCarthy”; if the so called MAGA holdouts refused to vote for McCarthy, he has the option of cutting a deal with Hakeem, for enough D votes to get him over 218.
Its been a House, much like the Texas or Az House, where it is OSTENSIBLY “R” majority, but because the leadership and much of the members with an R after their name are D’s, its all a charade.
The Az. Audit exposed it for Az. legislature, and the Rino Speaker was outed and primaried.
The Impeachment of Paxton in Texas outed their RINOS, and hopefully many will get the boot.
And, this charade is exposing many in the U.S. House, and hopefully their will be consequences.
I think this has been McCarthy’s play since he was ousted. Rinos told to stand against anybody until someone floats McCarthy as the only one who can get the votes. He then cuts a deal with the dems.
The American people are NOT represented in Washington DC. DC is mostly a bunch of criminals spending a lot of time and effort deceiving us while they take money from special interests under the table.
I am thankful all of that has been made clear so we can STOP PRETENDING the people have any influence at the moment.
Every day the House of Representatives is not functioning is a victory for the freedom of the American people.
It’s Trump time! 💪🤜💥
Those who hate or dislike Jordon and Gaetz feel the same way about Trump. So that wouldn’t get us any closer to Speaker. They’re going to have to put their big boy pants and solve this problem themselves. They’re looking pretty ridiculous about now.
Only surprised the # ‘against’ Jordan wasn’t larger, and ‘for’ smaller, once they knew their vote would be anonymous.
Curious if, WITHIN the conference, everyone knows how everyone voted, or if its truly anonymous ballot.
Unless ‘things’ change, we may never know if I am wrong in my accessment that A Jordan SOTH, would not make ANY substantive changes over a McCarthy.
And, without that “proof in the pudding” no evidence this whole charade is not just more Kabuki theater.
I don’t know if Jordan would be better than McCarthy, but it seems like his fellow Republicans are afraid of that.
They think MAGA controls JJ more than they control Kevin, something that is probably not true.
JJ at least LOOKS LIKE MOST OF AMERICA, right?
He’s not a frat boy looker or George Will McHenry bow-tied elite.
Well, the good thing is that we have a much better list of which Republicans to primary in 2024. (Please add fake conservative RINO David Joyce OH-14 to that list.) And if we don’t identify some MAGA candidates to promote quickly, the bad news is that even if President Trump were magically in office today, he would have no easier time of working with the House (and Senate.)
His endorsement of Jim Jordan meant nothing to the 36 who did not vote for Jordan–and for some, it signaled what they should vote against. Same as it was before. That’s why I saw no point to those clamoring for PDJT to be nominated for Speaker. If they wouldn’t work with him in the White House, they won’t work with him in the other House.
Joyce needs to be primaried. I have messaged Dale multiple times about this. Joyce voted for the J6 hearings and frankly might as well be a Democrat. Fortunately, his district is overwhelmingly not Democrat and hasn’t been.
The UniParty knows that they cannot outcheat Trump a 2nd time. They want a Demoncrap HoR & Senate so that they can impeach Trump & remove him from office.
His choice of Veep will be critical. It has to be someone they hate & fear as much as they hate & fear Trump.
I guess now, Jim can go back to his charade investigations of Biden and other administration officials that we all know won’t go anywhere. /yawn.
I disagree that they were charades. W/out him, you and I would know a lot about Spygate, because of Sundance, but the rest of America wouldn’t know anything.
So long as we can maintain the one member instituting a recall of the speakership rule, this is the situation that faces the victor.
At this juncture, we won’t be able to put our person in place, so let Orville Bowtie sit as temporary speaker and see him squirm under that threat. Better we have the weapon than find it leveled against a Jim Jordan.
It took the Establishment 15 votes to wear down Matt Gaetz. But Gaetz refused to give up the detonator.
It took the Establishment 3 votes to wear down Jim Jordan. And Jordan readily gave up.
The threshing continues.
Getting voted “out” by a secret ballot is an apples to oranges comparison to Gaetz and Jordan……and it looks like his support was a mile long but only a millimeter deep once they could hide like cockroaches from the light.
The Wall Street crowd are just the local chapter of “gofers” for the globalist slavedriver community.
“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.”
Are the powers that be planning on having McCarthy reinstated as Speaker intended as a big middle finger to the American citizens for daring to think we had a voice in what our elected representatives do?
He can’t get 217 without Hakeem.
Looks like it to me.
I think we should write that strongly written letter and then just reform that private corp. /s
Don’t worry, we can vote our way out of this. Just like we did in 2020.
Sure would love to see the republicans vote numbers if Tump was in the run.
Would not be surprised to see his yea votes less than Jordan for speaker and even less for him as president.
These people are really not good at all.
The year 2024 is worrisome to say the least when the good guys are out numbered by the bad guys in your own party.
This chess game is getting very entertaining. I just can’t decide if the “winner” is already pre-determined or if it’s actually playing out off script!
All the growing pains main street has been through these last few years has been worth it. Thanks to TCT and other alternative media I now understand Trump, the swamp, the Uniparty, the donors, the hatred towards Trump, the NWO, the corruption, and I’m very thankful to be one of the awakened. All of this had to happen to get people like me awake and involved. However this plays out, is how God planned it. I don’t like that it’s not always the outcome I want, but the sunlight was absolutely necessary to get us to where we are!
Cocajaju,
Well said and I suspect you speak for many, only relatively recently awakened.
As an example of what you describe, consider a theoretical question;
PDJT’s popularity, and the size of MAGA, and “our” realisation of the true nature of the Uniparty, if they had NOT stolen 2020 election?
My thinking is WE, that is to say the MAGA Movement is much larger and stronger, as a result of having almost 3 years of Obiden, as horrible as it has been.
Gods plan,….? Indeed.
Absolutely! On all accounts!
?c=2
Everyone needs to remember who created the boarder wall crisis in the first place. SOTH Paul Ryan, with a majority of RINO’s would not pass the appropriations for buiding the wall, when they had the votes. This party is just as, if not more corrupt than the Dem’s. At least the Dem’s gives ya a big kiss before they screw ya. I will not vote for any Rino in 2024, period. F’m all.
agree
BURN IT TO THE GROUND, along with the vermin!
The opening scenes of Kiefer Sutherland’s “Designated Survivor” come to mind…
Only one word in the article lifted my spirits:
YET!
I’ll cling to that.
Secret ballot says it all.
Jordan chose the Ronald Reagan approach to dealing with inter party disputes and they shivved him in short order.
Donald Trump is the only one that seems to understand how to smash mouth these fools and even he got taken by too many of them.
I’m at the no taxation without representation phase.
Secret votes should NEVER be allowed. When that happens, our REPUBLIC ceases to be. They are supposed to be accountable to the voters as “REP” in Republic means Representative.
I’m reminded of the state of things leading to the French revolution. The rich and powerful become more rich and more powerful while the rest become poorer and without power.
It would be a merciful act to remove these people through the process. But as they keep denying the process, they increasingly make escalation likely…. whatever that may be.
Unfortunately, Article 1 Section 5 of our Constitution allows them to be Secret, if they so choose but I agree with you, it stinks.
President Trump exposed the deep state and the corrupt cabal that controls it.
Matt Gaetz and seven others helped expose the republican party.
So maybe we haven’t lost yet. (Sorry, just trying to find some semblance of a silver lining here).
The world is Weimar Germany in 1930s and we are Weimer. Death and destruction coming. Get right with God.🙏
Ill be doing brief Uni-Party Sunlights like the one below throughout the day highlighting the Rinos blocking Jordan. Starting with Don Bacon: (202) 225-4155
In a December 2020 WAPO survey of the 249 Republican members of Congress, Bacon was one of 37 who acknowledged Joey Biden installation as a ‘legitimate’ President-elect
Have ever really stopped and thought about it? A majority of sitting Congressman took the unprecedented step by voting to NOT certify the fake President Biden in 2020 and yet not one special Congressional investigation into why? Instead the unelected tyrants behind JoBama are arresting innocent civilian protestors?
Bacon.
He’s at least got the right name for the job.
Let us all pray tonight at 8pm in the name of Jesus that the Lord thwarts these evil corrupt people. “whenever 2 or 3 are gathered in My name…..
Yet.
🤞
very disappointing…how did so many RINOS get elected?
PAC money. Maybe time to revisit Citizens United?
Politics is comprised of many blood-suckers (Just from my personal experience over time), and even though the caucus had a ‘secret vote’ and 122 voted AGAINST Jordan, don’t be fooled!
Nothing is “secret” in politics; it always leaks out or sometimes it gets blasted out.
Actually, Jordan will be just fine, as will the “8” who led the charge to expose the liars, clowns and communists in the house.
Sundance is right on this (again), it’s all about the exposure of the “Big Ugly” TRUTH!
Things are about to come out about those 122 defectors that will NOT surprise most of the Treepers or Magadonians, however, it will surprise the &*it out of them! ….Just wait for it…it takes time…but they will all be exposed one day; most likely sooner than later.
Don’t underestimate the intel and strategy of a former billionaire businessman.
Paul warned early Christians “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.”
All recorded history has proved him right.
This one statement says it all…
“Factually, that’s why congressional candidates spend millions to take a job earning a few hundred thousand.”
I despise these people with every ounce of my being. How many of their votes have been “in secret” on various issues as opposed to in public where they can be held to public scorn.
It is 1773 all over again.
“Lawmakers now plan to leave Washington for the weekend …”
Of course, can’t let business, war, or anything else interfere with their playtime.
Let them all stay home rest of the year….
Now I know the real truth.
Our “goverment” is just a piece of work, if yu get my drift!🦨🦨🦨🦨🦨
Looks like around 18 short of those who voted.. The Big Money must have their hooks into them pretty good!
A new Speaker must be willing to give the Ukraine $160 billion or so in funding requested of Congress by ChiCom Joe. This funding must be agreed to in principle before a new Speaker can be elected!!! That’s what the RINO Republicans want to vote for a Speaker!!! They don’t want concessions they want funding for Ukraine above America!!! Israel will get some leftover scraps!!! Not one more wasted dollar to the Ukraine shut it down negotiate for peace immediately!!! But we all know the Republicans will cave, Ukraine will get funded by a new Speaker same as the old Speaker with a short term CR and a new CR or Ominbus spending bill will also be approved by the Republicans for next year so they can go home in time for Christmas!!! Individual spending bills are as dead as Joe’s brain!!! Matt Gertz tried but my guess he was ahead of time!!! JMO
I called them all hoping they would do right by The People. Now the picture is very clear. In secret they will stab in the back, but in the public eye they wear a mask.
Remember these names… they are the 20 that had the balls to vote against Jordan on the first ballot. So we know for sure they are in the enemy camp. We will never know the names of the secret ballot nays….but these are a good start: Tony Gonzales (TX), Kay Granger (TX), Mario Diaz Balart (FL), Mike Kelly (PA), John Rutherford (FL), Mike Simpson (Idaho) Steve Womack (Arkansas), Lori Chavez DeRemer (OR), Don Bacon (NE), Carlos Gimenez (FL), Jennifer Kiggans (VA), Mike Lawler (NY), Doug LaMalfa (CA), Anthony D’Espositio (NY), Andrew Garbarino (NY), Nick LaLota (NY), Jake Ellzey (TX), Ken Buck (CO), John James (MI), Victoria Spartz (IN).
Heard John Rutherford on am radio. (here in central Ohio)
His vote for scalise was to punish Jordan for not being a team player. (my words)
He is appearently getting slammed by his constiuents but hey he is voting his “principals” and the hell with what his constituents want.
“Following the floor vote, the Republican Caucus held a closed-door meeting and another secret ballot to determine if Jordan should continue. When they didn’t have to put their names in front of the public for scrutiny, 122 professional members of the Republican Party voted against Jordan, with only 86 votes in support of Jordan continuing. Jim Jordan from Ohio is done.”
