People bitching about all democrats falling in line to vote. Yet the same people are bitching that the republicans aren’t falling in line to vote.

Clown world at its finest.

I was complimenting them. Its amazing how they do things.

They may hate each other. They have DINOs and conservative Dems and libs and progs and straight up commies.

But they ALWAYS. ALWAYS. fall in line. They know the game and know how to maneuver behind the scenes while portraying a united front in front of the camera.

I envy it greatly.

Republicans as I said earlier will always frick things up.

Scalise “not being a team player” and won’t commit to help Jordan


“BREAKING: Jim Jordan just met privately with Steve Scalise requesting help in the Speaker race. Scalise would NOT commit and according to CNN's congressional reporter Annie Grayer, is "not being a team player."

What on earth?!“

Scalise voted for Jordan.
I think his responsibility in the process stops there.
Not his fault if other reps choose to vote differently.

He is McCarthy's whip. The Speaker appoints the leadership.

Precisely and there hasn’t been a single office that has an answer as to why they didn’t vote for Jordan.


Well Bacon is wrapped up with the Humpty Dumpty Institute and apparently so is the CCP.
And Gimenez is a 70 year old career politician and Jordan has said he would bring a vote (and McCarthy was fired for not bringing a vote) on term limits and a ban on lobbying after office.
