Jim Jordan is making democrats scared

Republicans are demonstrating in the House, what they would do if given the Presidency and the Senate too: dick-all nothing. Zombie government.

close, but not completely accurate
were the GQP to retake the means of government it would then be time for another tax cut for the wealthiest among us
other than that, your post is spot on

What do you think Jordan brings to the table for a position of Speaker? Speakers wrangle together coalitions to pass needed legislation, as well as favored legislation of the current President or their party. Why do you feel Jordan would be advantageous in doing that?

And the speakers we have had bent over for teh Democrats which is what you liked.
 
I just looked at Jordan's record, 16 years as a congressman, he has never sponsored a bill which even passed the House, much less became law. He is anti everything, and if it weren't for
his gerrymandered district he would have been kicked out of the House years ago.

The crooked cabal of democrats coming out speaking negatively of Jim Jordan as Speaker is predictable. They use the same words, phrases, and narratives they love so much, i.e., "Maga, extreme, divisive, etc.", to paint a narrative of BS, per the norm.

In their minds, it can only be their way or the highway, without dissent, and perfect allegiance to the totalitarianism, they love. There can be no differing of opinion, free speech, or an oversight of their illicit maneuvers. Fall in line, else pay the price of absolute destruction of any opposition.

They are the most divisive and dangerous people to ever prey upon the Republic of the USA.

Love your Republican psychological projection!

The only type that your tribe thinks may NOT be a Republican right-wing nutcase would be Mitt Romney, Hunsinger, Liz Cheney, and McConnell.

Not so strangely, those people think like your tribe does.

Thanks for whatever that was. Have a nice day.

Since Republicans are the majority party in the House, it is up to them to select a Speaker.

What Democrats say on the matter is unlikely to influence any Republican votes.

I'm not sure if there is any point to this OP at all.

my congressman explains the current congressional dynamic; here is an excerpt:
... it only takes five Republicans voting with all the Democrats to elect Hakeem Jeffries as speaker.

That’s true, but those five Republicans would be immediately kicked out of their party and become the target of an avalanche of foaming, seething hatred by members of their former party that would be difficult to overstate. So that feels unlikely.

Ok then, what if a handful of Democrats join all the Republicans to elect a speaker they can both tolerate?

This is worth exploring. While it still feels exotic, it’s at least plausible. And frankly, the longer this piano continues to crash down the stairs, the more plausible it becomes.

But imagine, for a moment, that you are running for Speaker. You’re down, say, 10 votes in your own party. So you say to your party, “Hey everyone, I appreciate the support. Looks like we’re almost there. I’m just going to head over to the other party real quick and get the rest of the votes I need.”

Well… suddenly, you’re not down 10 votes anymore. Now you’re down dozens and dozens because you just infuriated your whole party.

This is why McCarthy knew he couldn’t even ask the minority party for some votes. As soon as his party heard about it, he’d be toast. For those saying, “Democrats could have saved him,” my sense is that they are underestimating how massively unpopular that plan would have been within Republican ranks, and how that would have undercut whatever support had come from Democrats. ...

If you think Jordan is a prominent republican, then you died before Ronald Reagan was elected.
 
Just another nutball in a house of nutballs.
All they really can do is make sure nothing gets done.
Pretty typical for the obstruction party

Senior members of his own party are speaking out why Jordan is unacceptable.

You left that part out, it did not fit into your partisan dribble called a post.

You think Nancy Pelosi with a rat party majority was engaged in wrangling together coalitions? Lets be honest...the speaker is a reflection of the House...and the House...in its entirety is hot garbage. The speakers job is to set the agendas...the Whips bring the votes.

Until the people of this country stop sending clown to congress, nothing will change. And ANYONE that says..."yeah...because THOSE guys...." is a ****ing mindless partisan twat.

"Why won't those evil, crooked, corrupt, totalitarian Democrats work with us?" :LOL:

As usual, every accusation by the right turns out to be a confession. Republicans routinely vilify Democratic leaders, constantly attack each others as "RINOs" if they don't precisely adhere to the party line (even when it changes overnight), and are increasingly overt in their turn towards authoritarianism.

By the way, I'm quite confident that the Confederate traitors, who chose to go to war rather than free the enslaved people in their states, were far more "divisive and dangerous" than any Democrat today.

It is truly difficult how folks like the OP can make such stupid comments and not recognize it as projection.
 
If Jordan is elected Speaker, it seems like a government shutdown is all but assured.

Cabal! Now that's rich! You want criminals to get away with their crimes if you support them, all others and it's good luck, huh? That's un-American. Law and order!
 
Democrats voted to remove McCarthy... did they want Jordan to win?

redbeer, in case you have not been following your elected leaders, Jim Jordan is MAGA, he's the most Conservative member of the House, and he's divisive every chance he gets.

There is nothing B.S. about that characterization...why not tell the truth about that?
WE don't want Jordan because he's bad, would be bad for America, and because he's pro-Trump, and Trump violated Espionage act, and tried to steal the 2020 eleciton.
His University was shuttered for breaking the law
His foundation was shuttered for breaking the law (he was paying himself from his charity)
His organization is being shuttered for breaking the law.
His chief finance officer is now a convicted criminal.
Trump himself has 91 charges...

Get with the program.

While Jordan’s record is that of a healer, a reconciler, one who accepts election results, even if they displease him. We are blessed to have him preside over the People’s House.
