    I ain't skeered...

    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      Jordan gives up his effort - wants to enable McHenry to be Speaker Pro-tem.

      "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/patrick-mchenry-house-speaker-pro-tempore-threaten-quit-rcna121314

        The pro tempore guy Rep. McHenry is threatening to quit if the House GOP pressures him to move legislation without explicitly voting to expand the pro tempore's powers.

        I don't blame him. It would be chicken shit of the House GOP if they force the pro tempore to move legislation without having the courage to vote to give the pro tempore that power.

              There wasn’t even another name considered. Literally a majority of the conference just voted for him to drop out of the race.

                    Gaetz, who led the charge against McCarthy, blamed “the swamp” for Jordan’s defeat. “The most popular Republican in the United States Congress was just knifed by a secret ballot, in a private meeting, in the basement of the Capitol,” he told reporters. “It’s as swampy as swamp gets,

                        At this point, every outcome is as likely as any other,” former Rep. Peter Meijer, a Michigan Republican who’s considering a Senate bid, told The Dispatch on Friday. “Might as well just start throwing a 222-sided die and keep holding votes round and round until January 3, 2025.”

                          If that guy's the most popular Republican, imagine how hated the rest of them must be.

                              Perhaps but you’ve offered no opinion since the majority of the GOP conference told Jordan to fuck off already.

                              What’s your response to yet another Trump pick losing? And not just in a general but among elected Republicans!?

                                      @jon-nyc I think it is the one where everybody MUST vote for whoever gets the most votes in the secret ballot for the next speaker.

                                        In a marriage, sarcasm and contempt is a sign that it's over but for the paperwork.

                                        Education is extremely important.

                                          Funny, Horace, many many years ago I read a piece in the New Yorker I think by a very senior marriage counselor. He said that, in his experience, the biggest predictor of divorce is when one spouse rolls their eyes at the other. A sign of contempt or lack of respect if their ever was one.

                                          Only non-witches get due process.
