Decline of the G.O.P. Episode XI

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

He's not being that quiet about it. Fox News is helping him put pressure on the holdouts.

all that is need for evil to triumph is good men blah blah blah...they don't care.

The enablers may as well be all in. In for a penny in for a pound as far as I'm concerned.

It always was. In my book GOP = MAGA idiot. It is all the same and all a danger to our way of life.

McCarthy votes for Gym.

 

[jthomas666]

Round 1: 200 for Jordan--fewer votes than McCarthy got on his first try.

 

[TexasBama]

No joy for Gym

Gym Jordan to the House tally clerks right now, "I just need you to find me 16 more votes."

 

[twofbyc]

I wish I could laugh, but this is a sad circus.
I dare any Repugnican to explain to me why they should be in control of our government. They are legislative invalids who have advanced degrees in grifting and deflection.

I know it would never happen but it would funny if the Dems could find 4 more votes and steal the chair.
