“The GOP will need to find an alternate, perhaps Jim Jordan”

Jordan is running an important committee, besides... he reminds me of a heart attack looking for a place to happen.

Byron Donalds would be an excellent selection. He rock solid.

The first thing that needs to happen is that the masses need to wake up to the fact that for most of their lives they’ve only had the illusion of choice, then we can go from there.

Re: 24 - Good synopsis.

And one that will go right over the heads of many people. Especially burners.

Donalds was nominated several times during the initial vote for Speaker, so it wouldn't be unexpected to see him nominated again.

Also, it would be nice for the GOP to steal a "historic first" from the Democrats by voting for the first Black Speaker of the House so Hakeem Jeffries doesn't eventually get it and all the LAAP-dog media fanfare that would go with it when it's a Democrat.

The Democrats made a big deal of Jeffries being the first African-American to be nominated for Speaker (I guess Donalds wasn't nominated until a later round of voting), so stealing the actual attainment of Speaker from Jeffries would be a historic move for Republicans (which is probably why they won't do it).

Re: 53 - Agreed he dressed like a loser. But he loves the media limelight. That’s not atypical of many Congress-critters.

What makes you think Jordan was stupid enough to take the jab?

Gaetz’s love affair with the camera and the sound of his own voice are but symptoms of a far deeper problem....

The pink jacket is too tight. High risk for busting a button.

I stand corrected. What I should have conveyed was IF he was vaxxed. Apologies.

yep, no wonder there is no accountability in government, nobody wants to hold anyone accountable.

The truth is that none of them want to be held accountable.

Bears repeating.
