[hayden_horn 11360]

here is what i don't understand.  first thing, I'm sorry to everyone but im high af and I'm going to use some lazy ass gender innapropriate terms in this here post. i hope yall know I'm an ally but right now my vocabulary is limited. 

but here is what i don't get. why is Jim Jordan such a bitch?

like, why is he such a whiny ass bitch?

you know he knows he ain't got the votes. he ain't got em and he ain't gonna get em. so why the fuck is he such a bitch? everyone knows if you don't got the votes you don't go.  you get real humble for awhile, you don't want that shit job anyways, what crazy fucker would, and bow out and refuse and do  some scraping shit with the bowing. you sure ass fuck DO NOT send people after the spouses of your enemies like it's the goddamn byzantine empire and shit.

maintain some fucking dignity. be a fucking man.

It is well known in legal circles that the carotid artery is often constricted when wearing a bowtie. This can lead to reduced blood flow and premature aging.

My god, he finally got D.B. Cooper.

I’m guessing it’s going to be some version of “my committee finally has the Biden Crime Family dead to rights.  The evidence is in this here file. We will be releasing it in two weeks and only after I am elected speaker.  So that this committee can proceed without the speaker election sideshow distracting from doing its legal duty to protect America from these massive abuses of power.”

I laugh at a short guy that stands on a box (like Mr. Bowtie did a few days back).  I laugh at a short guy that wears lifts in his shoes (like DeSantis).  

But a short guy that owns it?  No problemo. I never said shit about Spud Webb.

No shit, You don't mess with a guy that can break both your ankles and then dunk on you.

You laugh, but my money is absolutely on it being Biden impeachment related. Homeboy is intent on trying to distract from his speaker woes by changing everyone’s attention. It’ll be weak and transparent, but that’s what it is…

[YGIFS 19449]

I wasn't laughing.  You're right, it's running interference on his own shit.  But Jordan's ego demands he try and thread the needle.  Advance the impeachment (irony being he can't get his own floor-vote shit together for his own self-interest, let alone for a formal impeachment inquiry), pretend only he and his committee can get it done, but that he's willing to either step aside from the speaker's race to focus on this (which will save face now but he'll suffer for it later when he's neither speaker or impeaching Biden successfully).  Or that the committee's work can only proceed without the distraction of a Speaker's race, so just go ahead and elect him real quick so they can get back to work on the Biden Criminal Conspiracy and Jordan can shepherd the House through the other important business of the day like laptop inflation.  

He's looking for an exit ramp.  But just before he finally veers back into oncoming traffic, I think he's gonna do one last hail mary and see if he can't convince American MAGA voters that the only way to impeach Biden is with him as Speaker.  They'll really put the screws to their Reps. and force a final 217 vote.  Because that's what MAGA does.  If things don't go their way, they threaten people's families.  

This is how America earns back its global respect you sheeple!

Because you have to want it more than the other guy and give 110%.  Obviously you're not a wrestler.

(Edit: and like WTB said ^^^^ if you're convinced by your life's experiences you can just run over people with no consequences, that's what you do.  Always.  There is no Plan B.  Hell, it worked for McCarthy (well it didn't but Jordan isn't nuanced enough to know the difference).

Spud Webb was a coach at a basketball camp I went to as a kid. Watching him dunk a basketball from 5 feet away was amazing.  He was probably my height, looked like he was 12 years old, and then for a few glorious seconds he was a god.  Clyde Drexler and Dominique Wilkins were also coaches at that camp, so there was no shortage of dunking badassery present, but Spud stole the show.  He was relatable.  Dominique and Clyde seemed a little annoyed by the fact that all the kids loved Spud.  Anywho, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

This is exactly what Republican voters want. They think being whiny is the same as being a strong, effective leader who is fighting for them.

If enough GQP members don’t show up, it could effectively shut down the voting because Jeffries would be elected speaker due to the skew in numbers.  Do I have this right? Could this happen?

They just won’t call a vote or cancel the vote if they have enough R absences that the Dems ends up a majority

Right, that’s what I’m assuming. So then what? No Article 1 because the majority party doesn’t have a majority present?

OTOH, this would “unite the caucus” and they have more than enough votes under regular order to pass an MTV to remove Jeffries and elect McCarthy. 
They have the majority after all. The Democrats best strategic outcome is here is a coalition, not control.

Wow, you have awesome parents.  My parents sent me to a camp that had a "Spuds" only it was a fucking bull terrier wearing sunglasses, and there was a shitload of Bud Light everywhere (apparently it was a 1980s woke camp).

NBA guys weren’t really that rich back then.  They all worked at each others camps in the summer.  This was Rolando Blackman and Derek Harpers camp.    I don’t recall what my mom paid for me to go, but it wasn’t very expensive.  Maybe $100-200 for 3 or 4 days.  Probably 2X what it would’ve cost to send me to daycare, and a whole lot cooler.  Watching Spud, Clyde, and Nique have an impromptu dunk contest in a middle school gym is a fond memory.

[Doc Sam Beckett 5782]

When discussing the fall of the United States, it's crucial not to underscore the role a message board full of assholes played. The Surl birthed the idea to give Jeffries the speakership, while maintaining the majority. Once this was accomplished, the GOP did what the GOP did best in that time, they blocked everything and blamed the Democrats.

I wonder how long until the Freedom Caucus can't take it any longer and abandons the GOP.   It would be incredibly stupid, but when you consider who makes up the FC, it becomes something not out of the realm of possibility.
