    I still think it is not impossible that Jeffries ends up the speaker.

    Not saying people will come to vote because they want to disempower Jordan. I'm saying vulnerable Reps could be forced into embarrassing situations by an uncaring Speaker where they have to comment or vote on things that are losers for them.

    Not saying that tweet is right or wrong.. but what kind of dumbass believes a screenshot of an iMessage with no name or number? People are so stupid to 1) make this **** up and 2) believe it. Anyone could literally create that in 10 seconds lol. Society is so hungry for clicks they don’t even think logically. Idiocracy type of reality is right around the corner.

    According to Jackie Alemany, except for Stefanik and the con artist George Santos, every NY GOP house member voted against Gym the Jerk.

    constituents in their swing district remember that the jerk had voted against

    • disaster relief to victims of Superstorm Sandy
    • legislation to establish a health care fund for victims of the 911 attack

    You think Rep Bacon forged some iMsgs to make his argument against Jordan? Or that the Politico Congressional reporter made up the info from Rep Bacon?

    Why would you want to vote for someone who did nothing his entire congressman career aside from kissing up to trump? U could literally crown any white maga supporter to speaker of the house if that's all that was required

    It may have a multiplier effect.

    If Jim Jordan becomes Speaker, he would essentially act as Trump's surrogate, with his actions being seen as an extension of Trump. In this scenario, Jordan would likely serve as a stark reminder of Trump's chaotic governance and extreme positions (even if it's not his). In that scenario, it doesn't bode well for both him and downstream Republicans.

    Trump is a loser. There is no debating that at all, but is our VP any less different? I’d rather have “other” magically be the speaker of the house so our society can stop dick measuring on a website.

    In other words, you had no idea what you were talking about and now are trying to CYA by avoiding the question. I wonder who the stupid one is?

    There's plenty of Republicans who actually passed bills, makes no sense that Jim jordan is literally getting a nod to speaker bc he's the best trump a$$ kisser and not bc of his actual achievements in congress

    Not Hardly. Are your feelings hurt? You’re going to try and convince me you’re right based off a tweet and your far left liberal opinion? Mind showing me why I should believe Bacon? Or is it just that you have an agenda? Again, some idiotic liberal **** show calling people names as their lazy ass way out of anything. You can’t even provide context without claiming the politico isn’t some left leaning biased news outlet. Who’s stupid now?

    I don’t disagree with you at all in this context. It’s ok to be passionate and have opinions. Believe it or not.. a majority of people are on the middle left and right. They generally agree far more than the Maga vs Liberal idiocracy that exist in this thing we call the internet.

    Instead of agenda pushing, liberal, antifa wannabes like Major just proved he was, there’s actually a humanity to this world. We can all get along, respect each other and understand different opinions don’t mean enemies.

    btw, the washington examiner and washington times also both are reporting this, if you assume that NBC News and Politico are simply left wing news sources.
