#JimJordan #House #Politics
At least they did not go home yesterday….
Magas have shown us that they care nothing about damage done, they will posture for their districts to keep them coming back for inane, flawed, nonsensical efforts for media, as in pointless newscasts to answer no questions, and just talk for the camera…..
When do the grownups show up?
A Republican Party divided against itself cannot stand–for long! Dems should nominate Liz Cheney as Speaker now.
Stop wasting time and m0ney. after 3 vote counts the winner should go to the most popular vote. Why do they get paid for doing nothing ?
They went home for two weeks. This is the first week they been voting. Have I been in a Coma?
So.. one of the two parties refuses to negotiate, legislate or govern, hmmm…WHO votes for this??
I wonder if all the MAGA hats are getting tired of all of this winning?
Hey Republicans – choose someone else or vote for the Honorable Hakeem Jeffries – 😊
It’s clearly he’s doing it not for the country, it’s personal ambition.
He knew he didn’t have the votes before the first vote was even cast let alone 3 votes .
That’s why Steve Scalise dropped out before that because he knew he didn’t have the numbers
Hamas seeking asylum in the US to support extremist Maga Republicans!🇺🇸🍺👍😂
Such wonderfuL news…
Keep at then jim! Rest are losers who’ll realise fact of life shortly!
Thank god!!
Jordan must be speaker
These holdouts don’t think a man that hasn’t created a bill in 16 years shouldn’t be leader. A man that made threats to family members shouldn’t be leader. It’s called Integrity . Not surprised Matt Gaetz doesn’t get it.
In private the GOP caucus, took a secret vote in which 112 of them said no, asking gym Jordan to quit running for speaker. The lack of moral fortitude and courage in the Republican party is stunning
112 of them voted against Jordan only because they could do it in secret
The GOP must have really wrestled with that decision
Stick a fork him,,, he’s done. He finally took the hint that too many people despise him and dropped out. This according to McCarthy two minutes ago
“If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed…….and we will deserve it.” Lindsey Graham (May 3, 2016)
NO “third time’s a charm.”🤣
Just give up dude
Extremists CAN NOT make progress with democrats, which will be required. I hated McCarthy but at need he was an adult in the room. The freedom caucus are whiny babies by comparison.
Those Magot hats on the street who say there’s nothing that would prevent them from voting for trump may have no choice but to eat crow. All their heros are losers!
Strike three Gymbo. Wang
Insurrectionist should be prosecuted and not promoted.
They will try to bend the rules to allow, “The Great Pompous Pig Known as Lucifer Jesus Trump,” to become Speaker huh!
I am perfectly willing to switch parties if they vote this man as Speaker. Gaetz is getting what he deserves, with this rejection of Jordan. I could get behind a bipartisan effort, to elect a Speaker that is Moderate. Most Americans have moderate views when it comes to politics. I support both Israel and Ukraine. Jordan doesn’t. That is where I stand.
IF JORDANS NOT ELECTED I WILL NOT VOTE FOR ANY REPUBLICANS
‘Jim Jordan fails’ is all the headline you need, really.
REPUBLICANS WILL LOSE THEY ARE LOSING MY RESPECT…..ELECT JORDAN
WoW, so that’s what going full hypocrite looks like. I’d say “well said Mr. Gaetz”, if there wasn’t so much hypocrisy and projection in his statement.
THE RHINO COMMUNIST PARTY IS STOPPING JIM JORDAN
WHO ARE THE 20 REPUBLICANS THAT ARE COMMUNIST
I nominate Judge Judy! #JudgeJudyforSpeaker
There is one huge problem with having Jim Jefferies as a house speaker. HE IS A DEMOCRAT!!! American Democrats are leading the fight for Freedom and Democracy by suppressing Freedom and Democracy. They are the true Deplorable.
Tell your president to resign. He threw the dice when he lied in the debate. He knew if it was ever found out the use of his position as VP to cause the removal of the attorney general of Ukraine, who his own administration had given high marks in written correspondence, in exchange for money and benefit to a family member client. You own a President not by the people or for the people.
.
I don’t know which is better news today.
Another person flips on 45, or jorden not being voted in ad speaker.
I think that jorden loosing the speakership tops the list.
The 25 democrats that refuse to elect Jordan should see repercussions by their voters next election . Again democrats are running the house with Rino’s bending over to special interest groups that have the money to buy them off .
yawn!
Maybe they should try Craig’s list🤣🤣🤣
Must have own jacket.
Matt gratz is partly correct, but we don’t want to extract a pound of flesh, we wanted him extracted out of there
We wanted Jordan, but they didn’t. Changing party!!!
For Sure
Jordan & Hannity = thuggery. Defendant Trump’s little helpers.History will not be kind to ambitious propagandists in support of crime .
LIARS AND RINOS
Bye Gym! Now go away.
Don’t care, I care more about the terrorist sympathizers in Congress actually
Democrats have ruined our hole country the last 4 years and have done nothing for the american people but hurt us over an over.
Jordan deserves to be speaker and none of you have any right to say otherwise if you think you do then first show us some credentials to prove you have as much experience as Jordan. Only ppl who talk trash instead of truth with nothing to back them up is garbage themselfs nothin but trash
JIM JORDAN.
I THINK U.S.A. IS HAPPY WITH THE ANTICHRIST GOVERNING AMERICA.
APOCALYPSE CHAPTER 6.🇵🇰
DANIEL CHAPTER 11 VERSE 37.🏳️🌈
DON’T WORRY PEOPLE GET WHAT THEY DESERVE.
⚔️🇵🇰⚔️
Idiocy. All caps is a great way to say something when you have something stupid to say. See what the members of the Ohio State wrestling team say about Jordan’s godliness. Dipstick.
The democrats and bought off rhino’s are the ones doing it because their afraid of true justice…
Maybe the MAGATS should try threatening more Republican Representatives wives and persons. Working great for them so far.
It’s about time. He needs to be investigated.
All Of AMERICA wants Jim Jordan as Speaker of the House.. It’s the crooks that’s blocking it!!!!!!!
This should not be viewed as a negative against Jordan. He hadn’t planned on being speaker, he was happy where he was. But he was ask to do this then group turned on him. Keep it up and you will lose voters.
Fake news funded by our government
All we know is The Border is Wide Open. City’s Across America Are Being Fooded With Illegals and are Now Putting Illegals in Neighborhood Parks where Children Play.
Watch For Tent Cities
Coming To Towns Near You.
Good Job Democrats
OK, CHOOSE A Paedophile!.. to be the Speaker of house!
A win for démocratie . These outlaws don’t belong to the Congress but somewhere in their home with their beloved crock djt
It is the rule, after 3 strikes, you are out!!!
Vote Blue
Prostiticians, who sell themselves and their constituent’s collective representative authority and tax revenue to political campaign contributors are falling out of favor. Prostiticians, who secure the appointment of Supreme Court Justices that do the bidding of an immensely wealthy few to promote outrageous and appalling injustice against we the people are also falling out of favor. The dark money shadow government that is nothing more than a cabal of virtue-less un-American corporate oligarchs whose haughty arrogance and belligerence became over confidence that they could subjugate we the people through political corruption, social media and main stream media manipulation and economic tyranny have over played their hand. We the people are calling their bluff and when the cards are laid out upon the table, they shall realize they gambled like the fools they are and have always been.
Prostiticians, who only know and acknowledge their constituents in the months leading up to their next election and spend the rest of their term fund raising and selling out their constituents are about to learn how very lonely it can be when you have only yourself to sell to criminals, oligarchs and traitors. The sun is setting on the virtue-less un-American corporate oligarchy and their many political sycophants, think tanks, policy promoters and judicial minions, who are going to learn the real price of betrayal and treason. Your appointments with eternal damnation are confirmed, all that remains is to determine the time of your arrival.
You had me at Jim Jordan fails…
love how republicans are blaming democrats for the mess they created. basically they are saying they need democrats…..to save them from themselves….or at least from matt gaetz
sadly,republicans are not united
*The DEMOCRATS created this mess by voting with the 8 rogue Republicans! Their votes ousted McCarthy when 210 Republicans wanted him to stay! Dems should have kept their noses out of it! But of course they wanted chaos!*
Republicans have lost it all. Just elect Jim Jordan and quit the infighting. This is ridiculous.
Biggest Threat is Biden and Dems who hate our Country
Everyone knows Jordan helped to cause this debacle and he wants to benefit from it He is in with Gaetz and the 7 other MAGA morons that caused this mess and burned down the caucus. It’s on them. The moderates are right to be angry. Their constituents are conservative but not MAGA and they don’t like Jim for good reason.
Are you serious?A vote for Jordan so he can do what Mike Pence failed to do on Jan6th – give the election to loser Trump in 2024!!!
I can imagine Jim failed with all his shouting, and all his showoffin the house what a shame. SOO SORRY
Jim (OhioStateKeeperofSecrets) Jordan
Just give up
This Jordan sure can’t fly
People, I encourage you to think about leaving the Repugnican party. Consider the Constitutional Party! The Repugnican Party no longer represents conservative values. It’s time to get a new fresh start, it’s time to divorce from the repugnican party. It’s like a bad marriage.
What a catastrophe🤣 Boohoo
Its sickening that politicians cant put their differences aside and come together for the country. Jeffers has the majority vote give him the position if he proves to be unfit remove him like they did McCarthy.
I don’t believe that the Congress could work like this,Mc Carthy fells because he didn’t obey to Trump’s demand for closing the government, his puppet Gaetz made the job for him,i don’t believe that any representative want to loose their next elections if he will support Jeffries, the best solution is a non representative republican like Liz Cheney, Adam Kissinger or Mitt Romney which have many sympathies from both parties because they are strong supporters of the constitution.
Mega republican will never vote for them of course but it will be easy to have 217 votes from both parties.
That’s my opinion of course, the mathematics don’t help me otherwise.
I’ve been on you tube for over two hours. I’m done. I only do two hours. It’s been a good day. Bye yall.
How you’re gonna have an insurrection is as a house speaker. Not only that, he knew those boys We’re being sexually assaulted by that team doctor. Hasn’t passed one bill since he’s been a congress.
The GOP couldn’t find their way out of wet paper bag.
How does the GOP expect to put Trump in office in 2024 when it can’t even put the House in order in 2023?
Gaetz = 🤮
John McCain for Speaker. He was the last decent Republican.
Jim Jordan unfortunately peaked in 1983-86 wrestling at University of Wisconsin.
Matt Gaetz looks exactly like a mafia don in those dark sunglasses. Which is perfect because he acts like one.
In a roll call vote 194 Republicans voted for Jordan to be the Speaker. In a subsequent secret ballot held in caucus, 87 of those changed their vote against him. The reason? Fear of violet threats against themselves and their families. This is what the Republican Party has come to.
Jordan trying to wear them down Republicans good for him
We need a; ‘Sheep-Dog’ for ‘Speaker of the House’. Not a; ‘Lap-Dog’. With one party and one party vote! Get over it, and vote: Jim JORDAN! “DO IT” NOW!
Jordan has quite the legislative record. In 9 terms, he has sponsored zero bills.
I nominate ted nugent
One person who will be responsible for the shutdown of the US government purely for egotistical reasons. Definitely a Trump copy!
Jordan is stalling and wasting time. The end of the 45 days is up they haven’t prepared anything in regard to the , there’s no speaker of the house, and as usual the house is in total chaos because of them.
There should be a limit to the number of times a person can apply for speaker of the house. 3x should be the maximum, and they should have a guarantee of a very large amount a votes before they open the vote on the floor, to prevent this kind of wasted time.
Jim is a straight up racist the government will go backwards
It sad w black man is vote 4 a man that would bring slavery back
Poor little Gym Shorts. Short on votes. He should go back to Ohio and crawl under a rock.
America clearly dodged a bullet today.
how about jail would he do that
Thank GOD Jim Jordan will not be the next speaker. I applaud the Republicans for standing up to the extremist people in the government that are not serious about governing. People like Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan are a joke. They are not serious people in our government. In fact, they are trying to tear our government down. They actually have no business being in our government.
hopefully they pick a normal, moderate republican for speaker next time
In comments made on the capitol steps, Gaetz has shown he does not like free votes by secret ballot. It means Republican members can vote their preference without fear of getting threats to their families. The extent of the fear was clearly demonstrated by the wide gulf between how they voted on the floor of the House and how they voted in the caucus just two hours later. Fear tactics are a foundation of MAGA strategy and they don’t like it when fear is not a factor in where Republicans throw their support.
BREAKING NEWS: Steaming pile of MAGA rejected for speaker!
Election deniers are unfit for the Speakership.
Liz Cheney is the answer… sorry but it’s true. She has credibility with the Democrats and can oust the ugly creatures taking residence in the capitol.
