What "status quo dream"? I despise the f-ing status quo. I'd be happy to go back to square one and do it differently.

This country is headed in the wrong direction. Donks are pushing it that way, and the damn 'phants are just along for the ride.

I'm not really convinced that 2020 or 2022 were "stolen," and if they were a lot of it was because the R's were asleep at the switch when D's were basically neutering our already weak election fraud controls. I'm sorry, but you can't *itch about a problem that you helped cause and you aren't doing anything to address.

I think a big problem is that there are a hell of a lot of republicans who would rather see the idiot crook Biden as president than Trump as head of the republican party.

the 'status quo dream' is not addressing the root issue ... you know dadgum good and well the number of ballots counted ('20 and '22) are outside the boundary of historical balance using any relevant/rational statistical analysis...

you keep pining for solutions (most of which are solvent in scope), yet completely ignore what it takes for 'those' to have a chance at gaining any traction...

today's game from a decade ago is nowhere close to 'same game'...

that's MY point! it's one I'll hammer home to the finale in '24 ... after that, I'll see no reason to post here again ... it's run it's course

@>270EVsBlueBakedInn(222) ... (AM) - tip o' cap to today's flying nun # (Room 222) ...

I can get behind Jim Jordan as SOH. He has views that are more conservative than McCarthy. But what's going to change between now and the 2024 election? Why couldn't Jordan win it outright the first time? Biggest gripe I've seen concerning McCarthy was he bundled spending bills instead of seperating them like the GOP purists wanted. At the end of the day though...nothing will change much. The gov't will not be shut down - it's political suicide to want it. He won't get any reforms passed because of slim house majority plus GOP minority status in the senate.

This mostly about making people on the right feel good. No substantive change by Gaetz trying to "earn" cheap political points. Notice how Gaetz had to cross the aisle to pull this off. Dems clearly see it as an advantage to have the House in disarray just for the perception that the GOP can't govern.

Dude, this is a parody account...a joke...sort of like the Onion.

My bad. However you refer to this incident almost every time Jordan's name comes up so it's kind of hard to tell when it's parody.

Oh, no worries at all.

But yeah, I think he was wrong on how he handled the O$U incident and he's never really been held to account at all. He likely didn't really do anything illegal, but all he really needs to do is man up and admit he failed the wrestlers and I'd move right on.

Perhaps you should remind everyone again that I made a mistake talking about Co-Insurance on my health insurance plan 10 years ago? A mistake I corrected rather quickly...

Looks like Jordan had to promise a major Ukraine and Israel weapons funding bill to secure some votes for speaker. And there's still about 10 hold outs which he will need to make promises to 6 of them to get their votes. If he can get them at all.

I understand but again he was a grad assistant not a coach. The only reason he is named or his name is in this is because of him being in congress. I don't recall any similar situation where something like this occurred and they blamed the grad assistant unless they were a participant in the crime.

That doesnt bother me as such policies not only reflect the view of a roughly half of the Republicans, but it is also supported by a majority of the American public. I'd just take it out of the so called grossly bloated "infrastructure bill" that doesnt build much infrastructure. Furthermore, Id take 100 billion in wasteful spending in the infrastructure bill and use it to build additional manufacturing capacity for ammunition and ships (its clear we are woefully short of both). Then I'd start cutting the budget until I got rid of most of the 2 trillion a year in fat we added to the budget during the Covid years. Plenty to do that is popular with the American people. Getting the border under control should be an immediate priority given the current world situation.

I was giving you time to allow you to make an idiot of yourself unimpeded. #MissionAccomplished

Also, you didnt screw up about the co-pay talking about YOUR health insurance. You were trying to pull yourself off as some sort of healthcare expert, telling us how great Obamacare was, and you didnt know the difference between a copay and a deductible.

Vote currently being taken. Jordan has already lost 6 votes. The interesting thing is 3 Democrats have already voted for someone other than Jeffries. Apparently there are about 8 or 9 Republicans that intend to vote against Jordan this round. It will be interesting to see if this is a protest vote that will come around in the second round. The magic number is believed to be 216 based on todays quorum. Congressman voting present could potentially lower that threshold.

Republicans are being really stupid if they do not confirm Jordan.

Just ready for this sheit to be over with.

I think this is largely a protest vote. The problem the hold outs have is Jordan supported both McCarthy and Scalise when he was asked to do so. The other problem most of the hold outs have is that they are going against their voters---and their voters dont like it.

Republicans can't organize their **** enough to get a speaker, love it.

Kinda surprised to see Rutherford from here vote for scalise.
