“Short of re-electing Trump, a Jordan speakership would be the best possible thing we can currently do to save America. He is a legitimate America Firster.”

I agree. Hope he gets the votes.

What a pathetically infantile egotistical statement. This clown really needs a immediate primary challenger

He sure does need to be primaries. He’s out of control.

Hakeem Jeffries needs five GOP votes to become Speaker - less if people vote “present”.

Quorum call result:
Republican: 220 present, 1 not voting
DemonRat: 212 present, 0 not voting
If enough Dems are not present, or simply vote present, the number of Republican votes needed to elect the Speaker will decrease accordingly, but all Dems are now present.

Why are you even on FR? To discourage people from political Involvement?

FR is infested with many trolls whose primary purpose for being here is to do precisely that.

Really sick of the Vet bros. Yes Congressman, you deployed, as a chair warmer. So technically true statement but highly misleading

During his career in the Air Force, Congressman Bacon specialized in electronic warfare, intelligence and reconnaissance. His career highlights include two tours as a Wing Commander, one each at Ramstein Airbase in Germany and Offutt Air Force Base in Bellevue, Nebraska; group command at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona; squadron command in Arizona, and expeditionary squadron command in Iraq. In total, Congressman Bacon served 16 assignments including four deployments across the globe, three of which were in the Middle East, and one assignment to Iraq in 2007 to 2008 during Operation IRAQI FREEDOM.
