I have a difficult time seeing Jim Jordan as a RINO...he's been one the few (if not the only) clear-cut good guys in DC. You don't need to blackmail and control everyone...some tougher cookies get left alone with the surety that they won't have enough support around them to make any waves. That's been my take-away at least.
This 👆🏻, yep agreed. Jim is no RINO. And I too think certain people are playing their parts as more “middle ground” voters until the time is right. And I think that won’t be until we get passed tomorrow/this weekend. The Brunson Case needs no interruptions.
Mccarthy is REALLY getting hosed, repeatedly...humiliating for him! part of the plan, methinks, like NY gov Cuomo in white polo with nipple piercings...
Justin ‘No Bailouts’ Amash’s Company Received Up To $2 Million in Coronavirus Bailout Funds
Amash was one of the only representatives to oppose the CARES Act, which established the PPP program. He also voted against the TRUTH Act, which sought to increase transparency around companies that receive PPP funds.
There’s plenty of scum in Congress, but this dude was at the top.
“Former Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) is standing just outside the Speaker’s Lobby telling reporters that he’s willing and interested in serving as a compromise Speaker," Alex Bolton, a staff writer for The Hill, reported.”
Justin Amass voted to impeach Trump. "I rise today in support of these articles of impeachment."
Amass left the republican party and then apparently slithered back.
“Today, I am declaring my independence and leaving the Republican Party,” Amash said in his announcement in a Washington Post op-ed in July. I've despised this snake ever since.
Apparently, MTG has enriched herself very well in defense industry stocks. She is not who she makes herself out to be.
The longer this goes on, the more I believe it is completely staged. Gaetz is the best and most convincing person for the role he is playing. The lack of a real plan to present someone who can defeat McCarthy seems like a huge tell. Gaetz doesn’t strike me as a person who does something without a well thought out plan.
Also look at the pro McCarthy members, they don’t really seem panicked, they are putting on a show, but it doesn’t feel real. If this was a normal circumstance a group of the people supporting him would be pushing him to stand aside to get on with business.
Then there is President Trump, with zero concern for the old line political concept of political capital. He keeps making statements and Congress keeps taking votes.
I have no idea why or what, but it feels like they are trying to run the clock out on something.
Edit: To clarify, I'm disappointed this is so retarded, everyone on the floor is palling around a laughing, and there's very little sense that these people should be in any position of leadership, much less Senators.
However, the longer and stupider this gets, the more normies will tune in to this Civics 101 lesson, and that's a positive.
I don’t know man, I’m not disappointed with anything. I like Jordan as the “firebrand hard-question-asker.” His “role” on this “movie” would change as speaker.
I understand (or think I understand) that nothing playing out on the national stage is “real.”
At least not “real” as we understand it.
Now, moving FORWARD, I will not tolerate this subterfuge and deception.that has been imposed on the American people.
I will personally tolerate this “cloak-and-dagger” moment here at the crossroads of history, but I’m pissed that it has to be this way.
The lies and deception, the “information war” the “5D Chess,” the informational and emotional manipulation is all still part of a corrupt paradigm. I don’t like it.

His family has paid the price with the death of his nephew.

Or they are playing their part. We won't know until the end.
I’m inclined to see this through with the same attitude.
They may know the plan, and the plan may be what they are following. We don't know the plan. We are not supposed to know the plan.
This comment needs to be it's own post and permanently stickied.
They might just be holding out until the 17th round on Jan 6th, how epic would that be.

Justin Amash? He sucks and is a Never -Trumper scum bag….wow
Disappointed anyone mentioned that scum.
Justin ‘No Bailouts’ Amash’s Company Received Up To $2 Million in Coronavirus Bailout Funds Amash was one of the only representatives to oppose the CARES Act, which established the PPP program. He also voted against the TRUTH Act, which sought to increase transparency around companies that receive PPP funds.
I do not believe he is a representative, is he? He is just in town hoping to become Speaker.
Trying to smear Jordan by listing him with the oily Guidos like Amash.
…he was there trying to become nominated for speaker….. He was a scum bag….and still is.
There’s plenty of scum in Congress, but this dude was at the top.

In a way it's good. All the deep state RINOS are being exposed

I was shocked that Massie said there are worse choices than McCarthy. I really thought he was smarter than that.
X22's Dave seems to think that Trump has enough on McCarthy that he is pretty easily controlled if he can get the votes.
Then why has he not controlled him in the previous years? Sounds more like people trying to hurry this along and get us to accept McCarthy.
I'm disappointed in this whole effing fiasco.

I don’t like any of it.
That really soured me on house investigations...and I liked Gowdy (past tense)
Oh, how I loathe he and Jason "Family Man" Chaffetz...two turds in a stinky port a potty...
Why don't some dems hop over to vote for McCarthy?
They aren't! It has to be held over to tomorrow!
Let's see of they switch votes as this progresses.
Justin Amash is a never trump faggot. What would you expect differently from him?
They're playing a chess game. When the moment is right, they will vote Trump unexpectedly
