were to take the Speakership over McCarthy, I would be pleased as punch!
I do not think it will happen, but I would be over-the-moon with joy if it did.
Having McCarthy as Speaker is like kissing your older sister on the cheek out of duty. You do it because the situation calls for it, not because you actually want to.
Having Jim Jordan as Speaker is like having the most popular girl in high school, that you have always loved from afar, tell you that she just wishes she could date you but that you don’t even know that she exists…
to pay attention to the SCIENCE, here, and not to wishful thinking or to political hackery:

And:

I think if one is actually true to the science, the conclusions are pretty much unavoidable.
The facts are devastatingly clear for the COVIDians. Now you can argue that these data are not accurate, but you simply can’t from a scientific perspective say that the numbers suggest that the vaccine are at all effective, particularly after a couple weeks. We know they aren’t.
I’m just saying that if I and 100 of by buddies got vaccinated for measles and then 90 of us came down with a case of it six months later, I’d be asking some questions…
People are willing to help, but it’s quite clear now that this is just despotism. They know that they are being taken advantage of.
My dad used to tell a story when he was alive: A family was driving through their small California town when their car broke down. The church my dad belonged to helped them out. The church people got together and paid for the car repairs. The family stayed overnight at my parents’ house.
When the car was fixed, my dad paid for a tank of gas for them. He told them to go gas up the car while my mom made sandwiches that they said they wanted for the trip.
About 15 minutes later, the guy called from the gas station. He said,”Can you cut off the crusts on those sandwiches? we really don’t like crusts very much.”
My dad was gobsmacked. There was a CDC-level sense of entitlement, here.
Look, we’ve been nice. We’ve even been fairly compliant with all the mask nonsense.
But don’t push it any further…
Slip-sliding away…
The wheels are turning.
Look at the betting trend lines.
You need to watch this!
He makes a great point: Now is 1943. THAT is the year the tide shifted in WWII. Germany and Japan had been winning up to that point. Winning everything.
But in 1943 the tide turned and Germany and Japan started losing. And that losing became greater and greater, until they had to sue for peace.
I like that Whittle is such an optimist.
it’s bad. Really bad.
If Biden sinks much lower in the polls, he will have worse numbers than Richard Nixon did. And these numbers caused Nixon to resign!
And YOU. Did YOU vote for him? Holy crap! What on earth were you thinking?
(for DC Republicans) dead? I mean, just who leaked the call between McCarthy and Cheney? Liz Cheney said she didn’t leak it. Yet it was recorded by someone, and that someone leaked it to Rachel Maddow.
So is McCarthy under surveillance by the Deep State? Who had the technological resources to surreptitiously record his private phone call? And what other phone calls were recorded?
If YOU are not very concerned, you are just not aware!
Before we leap to conclusions and demand the tough action against McCarthy, we have to remember who the actors are. They are Rachel Maddow on MSNBC and reporters from the New York Times. These are the very organizations and individuals who relentlessly peddled vicious lies about President Trump that he had colluded with Russia to rig the 2016 elections.
It’s true: This story is pedaled by known liars. Is the story accurate? Well, Trump himself didn’t find it serious enough to throw McCarthy under the bus, and we ALL know that Trump is plenty capable of doing that!
… In the past, both General Michael Flynn and former Trump campaign aide Carter Page were subjected to surveillance without much justification and the details were leaked to the media.
Is it conceivable that spying on GOP personnel is now standard practice in Washington in order that conversations can be leaked to the media and be amplified for political purposes? That would be undemocratic and unfortunate. It would place the US in the same league of 3rd world nations or totalitarian states where opponents are surveilled.
This is quite disturbing. And it is fast becoming a pattern for the Democrats. They are now cornered rats, and therefore very dangerous!
If history has taught us anything, it is obvious that the GOP upon winning in 2023 will be subjected to hell after their victory. There is a likelihood that the Democrats may not accept the results. If they do accept the results, they may use their activist wing to permanently occupy Washington and conduct protests each time the GOP attempts to pass their agenda.
I think this is the latest and greatest argument for de-centralization of Senators and Representatives.
FAR prefer Scalise to McCarthy. Far.
Again, if I were a House member, I would happily vote for Scalise over McCarthy.
But I’m pretty sure that McCarthy will survive. I hope he is sufficiently chastened. And a chastened McCarthy might be very good, indeed. He may be eager to show just how conservative he actually is!
And of course, McCarthy is light years better than the execrable Nancy Pelosi, so there’s THAT…
starting to happen. I mean, Hispanics are generally FAR too religious and culturally conservative to be solid Democrats. It was never a good fit, though Democrats are still bound and determined to pound this square peg into a round hole.
Yeah, no…
Mr. Jimenez is not the only one, polls are showing a 20-point shift towards Republicans among Hispanic voters.[emphasis added]
… He also believes that progressive policy on immigration is out of step with Hispanic voters: “There’s this notion that Hispanics agree with open borders and that Hispanics agree with illegal immigration, and that couldn’t be farther from the truth,” he stated. He is not the only one who feels this way.
is good.
Enough of the crap-eating nonsense!
