They haven’t learned a thing. This is great news please keep doubling down!
This fucker should be catapulted into the Grand canyon.
Jim Jordan, the rapist protector? The Jim Jordan that protected the rapist OSU coach? That Jim Jordan?
Yes, that Jim Jordan who gaslit the victims of abuse and their families and then lied to the investigators to cover up his shame of enabling SA.
Yeah, that Jim Jordan. If you want someone to lie to the American people, Jim Jordan, SA enabler is your man.
Gym Jordan. Yep, that’s the one
“Gym Rape” Jordan as he’s known in some circles.
They are regrouping. They will never stop trying to install fascism. That’s because conservatism is fascism. Always has been.
Well, he’s good at protecting rapists so, I mean, I can see why they chose him
At least that makes it clear how the Republican party is going to handle the next two years. They’re going to obstruct and delay, same as they always have. There won’t be any reckoning or attempting to reform or do better. At least not from within.
Not that I expected that, but I’ve heard some people suggest that they might play ball a little and at least sacrifice some people like Hegseth and RFK Jr. That seems even less likely now.
And soon we will hear loud cries about how high the federal deficit suddenly mysteriously got, and how the Democrats should fix it.
Not even calls to fix it, because they wouldn’t want to even imply their opponents could. Instead it will once again be a way to frame opposition to spending on programs that are positioned to improve lives, or to distract, with it being a “more important” topic than whatever initiative is being floated.
And above all, absolutely zero acknowledgement that it was actually the Republicans who blew up the budget on wars and ICE gestapo and blatant corruption, while attempting to deflect all blame to the Democrats instead.
Nazis, pedophiles, grifters… Every fucking one of them
Gym Jordan
Love how the Republicans are like “we didn’t learn a damn thing from the election” fuck these fascist fucks
Tbf their opposition and the general public doesn’t seem to have learned a damn thing either.
Six hours of repudiating Trump, then right back to the anus. Just like Jan 6.
If Gym Jordan continues to be a bully and that’s how he runs his minority leadership – and it’s not like he can change his stripes – my guess is that he will be kicked out of the minority leader position before the end of his first year.
It’s not that Republicans don’t like bullies. It’s more that, as the Brits say, “They don’t like it up 'em.” They thought they wanted Kevin McCarthy too, until they didn’t. My guess is that Republicans can’t find anyone better who actually wants the job.
Also, every two-year Congress sets the rules for itself anew, each time, including what requirements must be met to kick a Speaker out of the chair. They are being worked on now, deciding what to keep and what to change, and the new set of rules will be introduced for passage on the first day of the new Congress.
But as Jordan will now be only minority leader, it’s up to his party caucus to put him out if, and likely when, they’ve had enough.
Oh barf
This doesn’t exactly make sense…
Did they let people who are almost out office vote? Did the few incoming Republicans get to vote?
It’s just weird to be doing it now.
No, the leaders of both chambers are generally selected prior to the start of the new Congress, though not always this early. Kevin McCarthy wasn’t actually finalized until January of 2023, though he was nominated the prior November. If there’s infighting the original nomination doesn’t stick.
The present members of Congress do not select the Speaker that will lead the new Congress. The new Congress orientation is going on this week, and leader selection is part of what is happening.
Donʻt stop your opponents when they are in the middle of making a mistake.
wait, does that mean between now and next year, that Gym Jordan is 3rd in line to the presidency?
No, because Mike Johnson is still House Speaker. Gym will become Minority Leader next year.
Oh, I guess I should have opened and read it. I heard Mike stepped down so assumed this was for now.
He stepped down from being House Minority Leader next year.
Johnson is stepping down, and also will not be speaker come January
Yes, but they specified “between now and next year”. He remains 3rd in line to the presidency until (probably Hakeem Jeffries) takes over next year.
Oh God damnit… That is exactly the kind of shit we’d have happen in this shit timeline…
Trump dies (woohoo!)
JD gets into some couch related accident (ewww…)
Gym Jordan becomes the new dicktater
