I have never been so happy to be wrong as when I predicted Jordan as speaker after McCarthy got canned. 

Psssst....remember this timeline.

Somehow, someway, we're going to end up with a result that's even worse.  I don't know how yet.  I'm looking forward to the surprise.

There could not be a more perfect encapsulation of the utterly broken-brained nature of the GQP.  The "most popular Republican in Congress"....did not get popular support.  He's Schroedinger's Fuckhead: both overwhelmingly popular yet unable to win votes at the same time.

He was talking about popularity among the public. I mean, no one is going to take the trouble to threaten the life of someone's wife over Tom Emmer amiright?

obviously it's not good for functional government but it would be deeply hilarious completely on brand for the GQP if McCarthy won speaker again and two weeks later they removed him for a second time

It would be galactically stupid and a complete waste of time, which is why I fully expect this exact scenario to transpire.

if i could get on my soapbox for a sec, this drives me crazy.

you're either one of the most popular, or you're arguably the most popular.  they mean the same thing.  it means you're in the conversation for being the most popular.  you cannot be arguably one of the most popular.  using both makes her sound like an idiot.  which she is.

usually this is a sports thing, "he's arguably one of the best closers in the league."  so does that mean he's in the conversation to potentially be one of the best, but we don't know if he's actually one the best?  so like top 8-10 or so?  shut the fuck up, smoltz.

This is the result of zero sum politics. GOP won’t abide ANY compromise with Dems so there’s been zero effort to offer them anything of substance in exchange for being able to function. And since they can’t get their own conference in line - they’d rather just embarrass themselves over and over and over

It should be obvious to even the most casual observer that Republicans are beyond being embarrassed about anything.

That's my Representative. My Representative.

 

 

No seriously, she really is. She is awesome. Was Assistant Speaker under Pelosi and is the current minority whip.

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.

christ fucking wept

This is the man that invited me join shaggy. I am honored (and angry about the meat Co., but that's a whole other thing.)

Christ, now CNN is interviewing batshit crazy Anna Paulina Luna.

Jesus

It was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. And I've been awake a few times in the last five years. CNN should just go ahead and become a pro wrestling channel.

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.

They use it as a write off. The cash fee goes to their foundation, run by a friend or family member who gets paid to run it, then deduct the appearance fee as a donation,reducing their tax bill just to hang out with kids at the gym, which can be fun.

The real gavel is the friends we made along the way.

Translation: for a long time, I was able to pretend that people liked me because I purposefully avoided interacting with them.  But once I talked to them....I found out that they think I'm a loathsome toad.

Man that camp sounded great. I wanted to go to that but I didn't play basketball, so my Grandma signed me up for the Herschel Walker football camp. I ended up missing it, but years later I met a guy who went, and he told me that football camp with Herschel Walker was like being coached by Mitch Hedberg.

I would go to that shit daily.

Most popular representative in America!*
*as determined by poll of 50 white males at least 50 years of age and living in rural Ohio. **

How many 50 YO white males in Ohio would one have to poll to find 50 that weren't molested by Jim Jordan's co-workers at Ohio State?

First they came for the Country Club Republicans, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Country Club Republican.

Then they came for the institutionalists, and I did not speak out—because I was not an institutionalist.

Then they came for the traditional conservatives, and I did not speak out—because I was not a traditional conservative.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me because I am a giant asshole who everyone hates.

To me the entire 118th House of Representatives have ceased to operate and thereby have decided to remove themselves from power.

im ok letting the senate introduce, pass bills and letting Biden sign them into law without the House. The House can rejoin once they decide to act like adults.

The downside with this idea is it ruins the schoolhouse rock song.

And also that funding bills cannot originate in the Senate :(

They gave the purse strings to the dysfunctional assholes. 

Too bad Biden can't dissolve the House and we have 435 new snap elections

In my theory they can since the House has ceased to exist.  You only need to use your imagination.

 

Your theory would have to get past Harlan Crow's bitch, Gorsuch, Handmaids Tale, Scalia, Roberts and Beer Boy.

Im coming around on @Ghost of LL wanting a parliamentary system. Democracy simply doesn’t work
