Grifters, con men, liars and thieves. Looks like perfect leadership to me.😏

I googled “active clubs” and got a number of hits about them from different news sources.

Far-right violence a growing threat and law enforcement's top domestic terrorism concern

The Proud Boys played a critical part in carrying out the Jan. 6 attack, but the group is just one part of a trend of increased white supremacist and far-right violence. Top U.S. law enforcement officials say those extremist movements are the biggest domestic terrorism threat facing the country...

Pence: Jim Jordan would be an outstanding speaker

Collins: It's interesting to hear you say that given he was someone who sent a text to the chief of staff on January 5th that outlined for you to violate the constitution

Elon Musk, billionaire, agrees with arresting Fauci.

That's what fascists do.

perhaps we should add a Republican war on women thread.

"Keep her legs closed!": Republicans are mad one of them said the quiet part out loud - Salon.com

Republicans definitely want to punish women for having sex — but they don't want voters to figure that out

How

We'll see what happens next week.

There are 221 GOP members in the House, and Jordan is the best they have? That's so disappointing. There's not one true leader in the GOP apparently, and then there's several million people outside the House, since the speaker doesn't have to be in the House of Representatives to be speaker. But, sadly the only person I've seen brought up to be an outside speaker is an multiple indicted former President.

but i was told that pointing this out was unfair, partisan hyperbole and that they are totally not like that

from the article

To square this impossible circle, Republicans have relied on their favorite strategy: Relentless dishonesty. Lots of pseudo-compassionate noises about women's pain, while insisting that their sadistic impulses are "pro-life." They pretend to support hypothetical exceptions to abortion bans, which for the most part do not apply in actual reality. They make weak attempts to rebrand their agenda as "pro-baby." They feign support for contraception access while supporting organizations that actively work to demolish viable birth control.

Jordan is quietly flipping votes. Don’t be surprised if he’s speaker tomorrow.

And now I’m reading the moderate conservatives are caving. Get ready for a government shutdown. And it won’t last just a week.
