Jordan was the replacement plan all along, even before the trigger was pulled?
I think that would make Gaetz BRILLIANT!
Gaetz made the right call in leading the ouster of McCarthy. And now, the more that comes to light it reinforces Gaetz actions.
As for Jordan backing McCarthy, I don’t hold that against him. Had he joined with the 8, he would never be able to garner the support of McCarthy moderates needed in order to get him across the threshold to Speaker.
Just food for thought, what if Trump, Jordan and the 8, worked in unison to overthrow McCarthy?
It’s possible, and if so, applaudable!!!
Jordan for the win & the block
Gaetz blocked McCarthy and nominated Jordan instead back in January when the Congress first convened. Trump is the one who rammed McCarthy through.
Trump then posted a “Why can’t we all just get along” tweet the other day when Gaetz filed the motion to vacate McCarthy.
I’m starting to wonder if some of these Congress critters are seeing the writing on the wall with Trump, and are starting to make their plans without him. Oh they’ll still say all the right things, but watch what they do.
Was thinking the exact same thing just hadn’t written it down cause I thought it sounded too fantastic. But really it is entirely possible isn’t it? And now the entire GOPe Uni Party is exposed, naked, for the country to see. Beautiful.
Do we get any promises from Jordan? That way we will know if he keeps promises.
The good news is we only need to wait 30-something days to see if this whole exercise was just a waste of time. If he’s smart he’ll agree to dollar for dollar war funding as border wall construction and e-verify implementation. Prediction: a clean CR will pass with no Ukraine funding, just like the one McCarthy passed.
Something like this is no longer possible in 2023. The NSA and 5 Eyes exists for a reason and it ISN'T to catch human traffickers, drug smugglers or Middle Eastern terrorists.
It's purpose is to spy on threats to the Uniparty and spoil their plans.
