You’re probably right, but that rotten tooth bastard is chomping at the bit to become Speaker.

I heard the same thing about Trump winning the presidency every step of the way, from Iowa to election day. We know what happened then. This country's politics are totally fucked up and anything is possible.

If these fucks are too scared to vote for him behind closed doors, why does he think the result would be different and they would change their votes when they are publicly on the record on the House floor? What am I not understaning here.

In the test floor vote, 55 members voted against Jordan. They just can’t govern.

Gym Jordan is such an unlikeable twat that even the Republicans don’t like him.

So this is how America dies. Not with bombs and boots on American soil but with poorly trained chimps thumbing each other's asses in Congress after a completely brain dead and delusional American population elects them.

I like Wasserman but that definitely classifies as a "hot take" for clicks.

Yeah, I mean I'm pretty much ascribing to @henrygandorf's philosophy on this election out of sheer mental desperation. 

[The Dog 44051]

 

[Foosters 17856]

That Dave Wasserman is a fucking idiot?

[henrygandorf 29191]

the only relevant polling is in 6 states.  biden's numbers don't matter.

trump will always get attention.  he's using the attention he's getting now to (checks notes) praise hamas and discuss stolen elections.  i mean, the guy's got good hooks.

Honestly it's their best position. Allow the Democrats to do the hard work of running the country and they can just sit back and bitch publicly about things that trigger the religious right idiots while holding their palms out to them.

So Mike Johnson is my Congressman.  He came to office in 2016 and wasn’t all in right away with Trumpism but he came around when Fox News started giving him more air time.  

Mike’s district here is solid red. 

Ironically, thanks to the Warren amendment, the military base in his district was recently renamed Fort Johnson after a WWI hero with the nickname Black Death.

Certified bad ass

While under intense enemy fire and despite receiving significant wounds, Johnson mounted a brave retaliation resulting in several enemy casualties. When his fellow Soldier was badly wounded, Johnson prevented him from being taken prisoner by German forces.

Johnson exposed himself to grave danger by advancing from his position to engage an enemy soldier in hand-to-hand combat. Wielding only a knife and being seriously wounded, Johnson continued fighting, took his Bolo knife and stabbed it through an enemy soldier's head.

Displaying great courage, Johnson held back the enemy force until they retreated. The enemy raid's failure to secure prisoners was due to the bravery and resistance of Johnson and his fellow comrade. The effect of their fierce fighting resulted in the increased vigilance and confidence of the 369th Infantry Regiment

I have Ronny Jackson. Used to be Burgess but they wanted to protect him so they split Denton up. 

He's crazier than both of those two put together.

I’m not in that district but supported and donated to Kulkarni and I was convinced he could win.  Very disappointed with that loss.

Always cracked me up that a dude with a funny Luxembourg last name stood up on his hind legs and started deciding how to keep Britain pure. Luxembourg. That's one step from being a Fat Belgian Bastard.

I think even they understand they suck at governing. They’re much better at tearing shit up. They’re lost when it comes to building anything of substance.
