I ask you to name ANY Republican in the House who is: Sane (aka, not Trumpist), reasonably well liked by all (but no more than 5) Republicans, who understands how politics can be made to work FOR the people, who is willing to work FOR the people… and who’s not a figment of your imagination.
The modern GOP is a disaster of their own making. This is what they’ve sewn and what they’ll reap. Expel Jordan and the other Freedumb Party members and get back to doing your job.
The DoJ is going to have to start bringing seditious conspiracy charges against members of Congress and the public sector if there is evidence that they were involved in Jan 6.
It is hard to believe that no one has been charged considering the number of pos seeking pardons from trump yet we are closing in on the three year anniversary.
Four Proud Boys leaders were convicted on seditious conspiracy charges. The DOJ has all of the messages that connect up to trump, stone, guilani, jordan, the war room & all of the other traitors.
jacketoff jordan has been in contempt of Congress for two years and the cons still protect him.
The Republicans will either wear down or offer deals to the holdouts. At this point there is only one road, and it leads to Jordan. Please, someone, for the love of God, prove that I’m wrong.
Reps. David Joyce of Ohio, Young, Kim of California, Nancy Mace of South Carolina and probably lots of others I don’t know about are all moderate Republicans who would probably get a lot of Democratic votes, simply because someone has to do something, even if it’s not the best possible thing to do.
The Republicans need the cooperation of a small right wing group in their party. That is not going to work because that group is more interested in creating chaos- and from appearances, staying in the spot light- than they are in getting the job done.
Until the Republicans realize that they can not allow a minority group in their party to run the entire GOP and start trying to work with Democrats, or at least act like they are trying to, which could scare the MAGATS into cooperating, nothing is going to get done in the HOR.
All is NOT lost. Karl Rove, Todays WSJ – A Sept. 23 Gallup poll found 56% gave the GOP an unfavorable rating while 58% rated Democrats unfavorably. The saving grace for Republicans is that on big issues, Americans pick the GOP by a large margin.
On which party “will do a better job of keeping the country prosperous,” Americans said Republicans by 53% to 39%, the GOP’s largest lead on this issue since mid-1991. When asked which party “will do a better job of protecting the country from international terrorism and military threats,” Republicans lead Democrats by an even wider margin, 57% to 35%.
Even when voters were asked which party would do a better job “handling the problem you think is most important,” Republicans lead 44% to 36%. This suggests the GOP’s views on such issues as crime and immigration are winners and that the Democratic approach on abortion may not be the surefire hit they think.

Desperate Jordan …as all GOP, will do anything to get the gavel.
Like McCarthy, gave $10,000.00 To MTG to vote for him.

Clearly all those electronics on the roof are not working or simply not tuned the frequency indicating the best path for our country.

Ramirez, I’ll give you credit for being one of the very few conservative cartoonists who is willing to admit the GOP is in deep trouble.

I am a liberal and a democrat, but would support a republican speaker provided:
1. S/He will continue the aid to Ukraine
2. S/He did not cast doubt on the outcome of 2020 presidential election
Such republicans exist.

The cleverest put-down/commentary on what’s been going on in the House of Ill Repute is Michelle Cottle’s reference to “the Republican gong show”.

Gym Jordan is a Republican hero.
Trump wants him for Speaker, therefore almost all Republicans also want him.
Including, of course all the cult members who comment here.
