Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, says he believes he's "best equipped" to unite his conference after Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., led seven other defectors in joining with House Democrats to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., as House speaker.
"We got to bring them into the fold," Jordan, who has announced he's running to be the next Speaker, told Fox & Friends on Thursday about the eight Republicans who pushed McCarthy out.
Into the fold little ones and share the toys with the rest of the Uniparty. We will continue sending money to Ukraine but be more transparent about it. We will also "prioritize" border security while leaving it wide open.
Same shit, different speaker.
What happened to Jim Jordan?? He used to be our champion. Compromised or always controlled opposition?
agreed… wtf is going on??
Pretty simple…great salesman and talks a big game but it’s all for show and has revealed that he is a RINO like the rest
slime rats every single fucking one of them

I'm hoping he's just politi-speaking the media. I thought we were beyond that crap though.
I think he's politi-speaking as you said. They attacked him in the past claiming he ignored abuse of kids or some shit, I wasn't paying attention. But when they attack someone with false bs allegations like that, it's a good sign they are on our side.
I think he is Trump's guy and probably still is.
Been thinking about all of this in-depth. I think Trump instructed Jordan, MTG, and many others within the Freedom Caucus and GOP to hold back against McCarthy because he still needed plenty of leverage against the Swamp in the House. And for this, their reputations within the GOP and outside GAW/Truth Social needs to be relatively intact.
Gaetz, regardless what you think of him, is a marked man, one's whose reputation is relatively shaky and his political future is unstable. This also makes him the perfect candidate to be a political assassin serving Trump, one who is local to Trump, capable of doing what is needed to be done, and, most importantly of all, is completely expendable in the grand scheme of Trump's chess board, and in comparison to everyone else. What happened earlier this week is, figuratively, him walking up to McCarthy, pulling out the gun that is laying around in the open (the vacate rule), pointing it at McCarthy, and pulling the trigger. The result is a politically-dead McCarthy, paving a way for one of Trump's allies to sweep in and take the seat.
It also means that Gaetz's political survival (and that of his accomplices) is uncertain at best, shot to Hell at worst. However, they have played their part and their role in the plan is done for the foreseeable future. It also might mean that the assassination weapon's purpose is done and it needs to be put away before it shoots someone Trump can't afford to lose.
So, I think Jordan and other's refusal to vacate McCarthy could be him being a RINO, but we could not rule out it being political pragmatism by Trump to make sure he still have a substantial group of reliable political allies within a Swampy Congress...
Very well thought out and presented. IMHO, Jordan has been captured by the DS. Remember, the sex scandal involving Mr. Jordan that was in the headlines? And then it all suddenly vanished in the Washington haze. What happened? Jordan's voting has since been lockstep with McCarthy....... It's been pretty lame and disappointing.
80+% (if not 100%) of Congress is owned and controlled by __________ .
Jordan is all hat and no cattle and certainly has some skeletons in the closet.
Not exactly the same. He'll want to make sure he can't be ousted. He'll be a cemented in piece of el mismo.
Jim Jordan? Why not bring back Trey Goudy, the original?
Agree, if especially if he wants to remove vacate rule
Jim Jordan is the current “Trey Gowdy”. Throws red meat to the “conservative crowd” and then …… does nothing. Chip Roy, same. But they aren’t exactly doing nothing. It’s palliative care. It’s all style effects. i.e. The Two Minute Hate routine from 1984.
Gaetz truly revealed who the rats are in congress.
The lawmaker said he would not seek Democratic support in such an effort so reform would need to be supported across his divided party.
Jordan argued he was best to unite the moderates in his party, as well as those more on the fringes. He said he'd prioritize border security as speaker and demand more transparency about Ukraine aid spending.
Jordan was also pressed on multiple members of his own conference calling for Donald Trump to be House speaker (something the president himself referenced on Truth Social ) despite a conference rule disqualifying anyone facing felony charges that carry a sentence
Jordan praised Trump as the "best president, certainly in my lifetime."

Mmmmm.... what's up with Jordan?
I noticed a change in him after his nephew was killed in 2018.
Oh damn!
https://neonnettle.com/news/4483-jim-jordan-s-nephew-killed-following-threats-to-expose-hillary-clinton-cover-up
poor guy.
Also, I believe this is about the time when Jim Jordan was first accused of his involvement in sex scandal from the time he worked as an assistant coach at Ohio State university. Remember, the sex scandal involving Mr. Jordan that was all over in the headlines? And then it all suddenly vanished in the Washington haze. What happened? IMHO, Jordan has been captured by the DS. Jordan's voting has since been lockstep with McCarthy....... It's been pretty lame and disappointing.
Such shallow, reactionary thinking in this thread. Im beginning to think there a very few Americans left that are able to think beyond MSM narratives. How any of the first five comments garnered a single upvote baffles me. Despite 8 years of being witness to psywar, information war, misdirection and kayfabe, they all fall comfortably within the realm of normie obtuseness.
This. I haven't even paid much attention to this speaker of the house stuff. None of it matters IMO.
I don't think it hurts us to listen to what these politicians are saying (and doing) and the see if we can unravel the mystery.
Is Jim Jordan with us or against us? What's your take? Maybe instead of being snarky you can enlighten us.
Seemingly he is all hat and no cattle. Same as Gowdy. But the death cult never went after Gowdy like they did Jordan during the OSU wrestling lies and political and WH Patriot plan realities could explain the slow roll. We are at a point in history that is decidedly different than when Gowdy was doing Benghazi. When I gauge whether a person is aligned with or compromised by the cabal, one of the first things I look at is who his enemies are. It isnt foolproof I admit, but it does tend to show you who evil is afraid of. Matt Gaetz falls into this category too.
As far as where I think this is going and if Jordan will ultimately backstab us, well, Im kinda leaving it open until I have more information. It doesnt mean I wont prepare for a poor outcome, but we have all seen narratives turn on a dime in the last few years. Feelings arent good enough and a lot of people here are emotionally driven just as the normies are. They are up and down with the minutiae and the speed of the news cycle. Its a psychological/information war and you lose your ability to discern being on an emotional rollercoaster. Not a good place to be and I kinda empathize, we are all ready for this war to be over, but this is straight up dooming and I wont doom. I will fight like my grandkids lives depend on it. Because they do. I dont have time to do the woe is me act.
But at the end of the day does it really matter what we think about the person? It wont change any outcomes. So I focus on the events and how it could play into the plan. A positive way to look at things rather than the negative point of view where you always just assume you are being fucked and totally miss the actions being played.
So really all Im asking is that we put aside reactionary posts and read into the situation and events to see how they could play into freeing humanity from its chains. The first 5 posts seem like shill effort to distract us from digging deeper with cynical and sarcastic bullshit that at the end of the day helps nobody and is meaningless.
both Gowdy and Jordan are all talk. neither have done a damn thing other than TALK.
These open forums are always gonna attract all kinds of reactions. I agree that we must take a 40,000 foot view on this stuff. However, we don't want to give a pass to politicians who seem to be trying to get along with the establishment. This thread has many comments from folks who think Jordan is now compromised. Maybe he has backed off investigations bc he was told to. But, by whom? These are valid questions. As for it not really being a matter of importance down the line. Who can tell?
Im not giving anyone a pass.
Exactly. Which is why I posted this article and asked the question. I wanted to read what people on this forum thought.
We all see what we want to see when we are speculating, including you with this shallow, reactionary response which is laden with cliché but just as short on sauce as anything else written here, if not shorter.
You aren't so above the rest of us that your own speculative shit doesn't stink.
No, they are the fold. The real MAGA reps don’t need to be brought into shit. The House has been brought to heel and that’s the way it should be.
My feelings exactly.
Trusting him is like Charlie Brown believing Lucy again as she pulls the football away from him
Just a thought ,I bet no-one will run for speaker unless the VACATE RULE is squashed and if that's the case ,here we go again,How many votes does it take to get to the center of a true MAGA Patriot?
Good thought. The candidates' position on the motion to vacate rule might be a good litmus test. The ones that don't object to it show they aren't threatened by it. (The reason they aren't threatened might be another issue.) The ones that want to get rid of it reveal their potential for RINO alliances and more of the same McSpeakership.
Alternatively, if a MAGA candidate were to get the speakership, it would be a good way to make sure the RINOS couldn't remove him because you can guarantee that anyone doing what we would consider as a good job as speaker, would have pissed off ALL of the Demtards and ALL of the RINOS.
One thing I think of the vacate rule as is a loaded gun on a table, a very dangerous thing to hold and use. Anyone can pick it up and pull the trigger. In the right hands, it is a tool for justice to remove incompetent Speakers. In the wrong hands, it is a weapon of tyranny where Swampies can use to remove MAGA.
Right now, we cheer the rule on for removing McCarthy. I wonder if we will have the same opinion if the Swampies use it to remove anyone MAGA we send to the seat, be it Jordan, Gaetz, or Trump himself.
When you produce a weapon and left it laying around for anyone to use, you lose all rights to complain when you are attacked by it until you put the weapon away.
I live in Ohio and Jim Jordan is all talk and no action. He seemed better during Trumps presidency. He had hearings for the public to watch but not only no follow up be he didn't even have some of the more "key" figures there. Matt Gaetz or someone more like him would do way more than Jim Jordan ever would. Trump would Trump anyone.
to hell with McCarthy. anyone sticking up for that prick is proudly raising the RINO flag at this point.
Some have speculated that he is compromised going waaay back to an OSU wrestling coach and Dr. scandal. Wouldn’t surprise me given les-waxner influence in the school & city/state. Real disappointing if so.....
I live in Columbus less than 10 minutes from OSU and can confirm those rumors. Where there is smoke there is fire and if Jordan looked the other way while condoning the abuse of those young men, all bets are off and he needs locked up. There are more legal suits being filed against OSU and athletics.
I like Jim Jordan. I’m rooting for him. Will be surprised if he turns out to be a Rino.
Jim Jordan has always been a good talket who does nothing but talk.
Trump still gets to be Speaker!
is there an article to link to?
