What happens now?
FR ^ | Oct 19 | RandFan

Posted on 10/19/2023 6:35:32 PM PDT by RandFan

Rep. Jim Jordan met the 20 hold outs tonight and they told him bluntly they won't support him for Speaker

This is crazy. They'll never give us this victory.

Jordan wanted to know what they wanted and what the issue is.

Their opposition doesn't seem to be based on anything.

They're just being complete a**holes for the sake of it?!

Kind of like "Never Trumpers".

Anyway, another (third) Speaker vote is scheduled for tomorrow.

Jordan is not quitting which is good. McCarthy had 15 rounds of voting remember.

The plan to empower the Bush crony as Speaker also did not go down well.

I say keep things in limbo.

The precious Ukraine funding in particular will not happen without a Speaker and the clock is ticking on government funding (CR).

Thoughts on this?

The GOPee has been called out and need to be terminated, with prejudice.

The Republic is bankrupt. Do you understand that?

Its amazing. Uniparty bribes these guys to not vote. At the same time uniparty bashes the same holdouts.

On the plus side, no agendas can be funded until there is a speaker.

Agreed. For me, it’s Jordan or nothing, so at least I’m getting nothing so far. How many more broken promises do we have to endure?

This is all a distraction, as we rush head long to a $40 trillion debt, with an annual debt service cost twice the defense budget.

I agree with you.

This is abhorrent.

The longer it goes on and we get to see the blame deflected off the holdouts-the more illuminating the whole thing happens to be.

The Republican Party is not really an organized party. Surely not organized enough to control 1/2 of 1/3 of the entire government. God knows they are a disaster. With a capital D.

Blame the 20 corrupt soulless CongrressVermin instead.

At least now we know who our enemies are.

The holdouts are obviously crooked and they’ve been bribed


That’s it, in a nutshell.

Who owns them?

CCP? $oros? Billionaire/RINO-NT donors?

All of the above?

A lot of blame for Gaetz in the threads here i.e “thank you Gaetz (sarcasm). “He had no plan”. etc.

I dont know why we’re having this fight again the holdouts are the problem in my view.

Slow learner...

GAETZ is our friend.
20 IDIOTS are not our friend.

I think that's the unspoken reason, that Jordan was a member of President Trump's House Defense Team during his first impeachment.

Nobody wants to admit it publicly, though.
