Jordan is one of the least intelligent House Reps and that is saying something. He is Tommy Tuberville with more baggage.
Given the Republican party’s prolific susceptibility to authoritarianism, a pressure campaign from far-right Republicans and their allies is arguably the most effective approach to coercing individual Republican lawmakers. Did they find one of the handful that aren’t prone to submissiveness towards a politically similar authoritarian?
I see this is Crenshaw, and he’s seemingly appealing to the 20 or so from the Freedom Caucus, trying to appeal to their ability to take their own experiences being holdouts and apply that to how anti-Jordan holdouts are treated. Appealing to the seemingly non-existent ability of Republicans to show empathy, now *that* is one of the dumbest things to do.
If it’s the dumbest thing you can do, you can guarantee Jim Jordan will be doing it.
The dumbest thing you can do is keep nominating coup participants and election deniers..
I think he is trying to wrestle the nomination away from the moderates. He might have more success is they were young boys.
I’m 99.4% sure that Kevin McCarthy sits in the back of those secret GOP nomination meetings quietly grumbling to himself, “Well you wouldn’t be here right now if you didn’t do this to me” as he kinda shuffles his feet and eats Hershey’s miniatures Halloween candy, throwing the wrappers at Matt Gaetz, then looking away to feign innocence.
> “Everybody’s got to grow up, get it together. If there’s differences, let’s sort them out.”
> “We need to have cool heads prevail,” he added.
Good luck with that. Let us know how it goes.
Pretty sure shooting your own eye out is dumber.
I want to like Dan Crenshaw. If his party wasn’t bat shit crazy, I think he’d act more reasonably and reserved. But when he fully supports Jordan but not his tactics, I can’t take Crenshaw seriously.
Jim Jordan is an example of how you thought you could run the world when you were 12 but he never mentally matured after the age of 12 and somehow became a member of Congress.
Has anyone ever accused the guy of being smart?
If house democrats had a list of Republicans that they would not be able to work with Jordan would likely be in the top five. Electing Jordan will be a disaster for Republicans and shows Republicans did not get the message of the last two elections that rejected MAGA style candidates, putting one in as leader will only cost them moderates and swing voters.
Dumber than covering up sexual abuse occurring to his students?
Nothing would make me happier than to see Jordan’s support drop after a pressure campaign.
Jim doesn’t do “big brain” things. He’s more of a one club size fits all needs. He’s a neanderthal.
>the dumbest thing you can do
*so far
The house GOP is the political equivalent of “dog catches car”. They have absolutely no idea what to do with this.
If Crenshaw wants cooler heads to prevail, why is he supporting Gym Joran.
Given the GOP’s isse with Fetterman’s attire, Jim Jordan wouldn’t have made the cut anyway. His lack of a suit jacket would have caused outrage within his party.
I dunno. Looking the other way when sexual abuse is going on might be dumber especially when everyone KNOWS you are seeing it.
He looks like he’s about to go find the one piece
Well … I mean it’s Jordan right? 😂
Isn’t this the wall fraud guy? He’s still j t eh government? Or am I getting my frauds wrong?
Yes, that is precisely right, given that gym Jordan is one of the dumbest mfers on the planet.
Legit question:
If you’re an ultra right, shut down the government type, isn’t this exactly what you want?
Get rid of the person who collaborated with Democrats on the extension and nominate people who will never get 217 votes. Can’t elect a speaker, means you can’t pass a budget deal or extend the deadline. The government will shut down. Nothing will get done.
Normally the downside would be you’re seen as responsible for the negative results, but if your core base wants that to happen, then you don’t really lose by basically bringing everything to a halt.
Jim Jordan has not passed a single bill in his decade+ in congress. He has not made Allie’s with the people in charge. He’s just a bad politician who benefits from the current trend of jerks being popular.
