What’s been sort of eye-opening to me is how widespread the delusion is. I’ve always kind of assumed there were a handful (or two) of true loonies and then a bunch of smart but spineless politicians who recognize that acting like a lunatic is the key to reelection. Watching some of these interviews, A LOT of Republicans genuinely think Jim Jordan is a widely popular figure and seem truly confused as to why this is happening. It’s hilarious and terrifying.

I used to think that there were some Republicans who were just laying low hoping all of this Trumptard shit would blow over.   Seeing how many are backing Jordan shows that there are none.

Plenty of them know better, but they are laying low and trying to get through their next re-election without having to blow through their campaign war chests in their primaries.

Jordan put himself out there with Trump's support - if Trump had went with Scalise or somebody else, we wouldn't be having this discussion, but Jordan pulled in that endorsement and was using it to bludgeon other Republicans over the head.

Pretty decent humble brag. It must be nice to have a whole bowl with no missing parts of the edge.

Just imagine how much a person must hate gays and Brown and Black people to put up with this collection of loathsome, incompetent, flawed human beings as your appointed representatives.

People do strange things for easy money.

Actual significance

Ongoing hostage situation

As Paul Harvey used to say, here's the rest of the story.

Tune in again tomorrow for the big question yet to be tackled: Will there be a republican conference meeting -- with pizza -- on Thursday?

Do you know how big of a shitcunt you have to be for your fellow party members to conspire a 3D chess scheme to ensure your demise?

It's astonishing.  Somehow, it's not the 8 Republicans' fault that McCarthy was outed, since 96% of the "no" votes came from Democrats.  Keiler failed to state the obvious, but rather danced around the issue, as usual.

That 96% thing is clearly just a talking point someone jotted down on a napkin. "Just keep saying that, it's the best we've got right now"

Chip Roy ges it - the Republicans are on the path to losing the House next year.   Now why they are on that path, he doesn't get it.

 

Ok--exactly what constitutional concerns?  Seriously, I want a legal cite to the section of the Constitution that could even arguably be violated.

 

 

 

Hint: there isn't one.

I like how the party of Constitutional Originalism is suddenly having a robust and deadly-serious internal debate about the validity of a "permanently temporary Speaker of the House."  Which (checks notes) does not appear anywhere in the Constitution.  Rather, Speaker Pro Tem is merely an emergency stopgap measure in case of several key federal officials being taken out in a terrorist attack and is barely 20 years old.  
 

I would love to hear Justice Thomas' opinion on how this was clearly the framer's intent given the environs of the day 200+ years the position was ever even conceived.

Whoever told him that is the person that came up with the "96% of the vote against McCarthy were Democrats and so it's their fault we have this mess" spiel.

I'm just amazed that he gets where this train is headed in the long run.

I think the only way to save the R party at this point is to empower the Speaker Pro Tem - that's the only face saving move left on the board, thanks to their own party's inability to work with itself. So maybe Roy has the forecast right, but I think he's 100% wrong the reason we get there.

To us. Well, not so much to me, anymore. All they need is some sort of talking point for their parrot constituency to seize as a rationale. When the parrots get it, there's no turning it back. They are humorless, irony-deaf fanatic cultists. They will surely state this as factual and reasonable evidence that the Dems are fucking everything up.

An argument-proof plurality becomes less funny to me every day even if I see the absurdity in what they claim.

True. It's not because of who they elect. It's because they elect who they are to office.

And their cult will hold together with just that.

In Idiot World, idiocy is king.
