We are watching as the Republican Party self-destructs. While I love the sight, I fear for the nation. The overwhelming number of MAGAs among them all do their best to be seen and heard kissing Trump’s ass. My hope is they all end up with STDs from the effort.
The House of Representatives can’t function because it can’t elect a Speaker. Trump’s candidate, “Gym” Jordan (R-Ohio), has shown he can’t even count votes. He predicted he may lose about six votes on a first ballot, instead losing 20; and by the third ballot lost 25. Then in the caucus he got only 86 votes wanting him to continue his quest to be Speaker. So the Jordan nomination is finished. The problem for Republicans is they have no one they can agree on who can win 217 votes. According to the New York Times, 10 members of the caucus have thrown their hat into the ring. Seems eight of them are election deniers, aka Trumpers. As I write this Republicans are again headed home for a long weekend with no nominee in sight, and no real plan for what to do. This is like a sick joke they are foisting on the American people. I thanked God for those saying no to Jordan. But so many of those casting no votes are just as bad, only in different ways. I wonder how many who voted for him, actually thought about the fact that were he elected Speaker, he would be second in line to the presidency after the vice president. That thought is enough to make most decent people cringe. It sure scared the hell out of me.
As Republicans in Congress screw around we are facing a world in turmoil. They refuse to do anything about it. We have a Republican senator, Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), holding up 300 military promotions, including those for top positions, in a world in which our military is needed. House Republicans are in such turmoil they can’t pass a budget, or put bills on the floor for votes on Ukraine and Israel aid, and border protection; things even their own caucus favors. I believe what they are doing, or not doing, will
