I don’t think he looks stupid AT ALL and I appreciate the fight in his belly for US, the American people. Washed out wussies are of NO value and that includes those that advocate for them.

Why would people not willing to back anyone for speaker be willing to give someone all the speaker powers without naming him speaker? I mean, could this RINO get 218 for speakership? If not, why will he get 218 for this made up role? Block it and let it burn. Rebuild from the ashes.

Exactly, the 9 need to vote NO, as NO DEM will support him UNLESS he gives them what THEY want. So again, this is a BAD deal.

Absolutely. This was a smoke-out operation. I hope to hell that the locals in their districts get to work with some real primary opponents.

“The RNC hates you almost as much as the DNC. It really is a uniparty.”

The GOPe backstabbers have unwittingly just invited a primary in their district. The sooner the GOPe is killed off the sooner we can start over. In spite of Trump’s win next fall the GOPe house will get turned out after only one term, the last was in the 50s’.

And I thought the world was going to end if we didn’t have a new Speaker. I guess it’s not that crucial, after all.

I think they are having another closed door conference today. Don’t let the WaPo get everyone crazy.

Agree, having the courage to fight is nothing to be ashamed of. The clowns who don’t have the courage should be the ones who are ashamed. You don’t even know where most of the fools in congress stand because they’re all too afraid to be who they really are in public. Hopefully everyone gets primaried because no one has really earned their seat for the next congress. That includes the eye patch guy, McCarthy, McHenry. All of them

No! No! No! He is falling right into the trap!

The MIC has made their complaint known. He got “the phone call” to stand down or else.

There were 50+ GOPers who voted against Jordan behind closed doors in Conference, yes only about 20 voted against him on the floor in each of the two votes, but the names rotated - and the others were willing to flip their votes back and forth to give each other cover as they worked together to kill the nomination.

There were a lot more than 20

Winston Churchill lost a key vote.

One of his ministers speculated it was this MP or that MP that did him in.

Winston made the comment "It makes no difference who was the monkey or the organ grinder. They were both on the corner at the time."

I’d be happy if they just shut down the House until January. January 2025.

“Matt Gaetz is looking pretty stupid right about now.”

Yep, loose cannons are seldom constructive.

Never go to battle without a winning plan.

Why does he look bad?

He literally just exposed a nest of seditionists who are nothing more than uni-party plants pretending to represent constituents.

Look them up, the represent lobbyists and foreign governments, not the people!
