"Four House Republicans walked away from conversations with House GOP speaker nominee Jim Jordan under the impression he'll allow a floor vote on linking Ukraine funding with Israel funding if he wins the gavel, Axios has learned."

As I stated previously
Though perhaps he or they are liars.
I’m rooting for no speaker. The feral government is just fine if it is paralyzed
Well, that’s a horse of a different color...be careful what you wish for.
We fund Ukraine if we include border security and that includes the wall. Otherwise, Jordan is McCarthy Lite.
Should be stand alone bills and not packed in with a huge bill...actually that is how most things should be so they can be examined, debated, and voted upon individually.
See "The Border Security Act".
Include that in the Ukraine/Israel bill.
Notice that Biden got some border "stuff" moving last week saying he was forced into it....blah...blah....blah
RE: Should be stand alone bills....
So true.
Probably will be combined with huge aid to attracting EV battery plants to some Senator’s home state and a new study of owl spit.*
*Once used as an example of government waste. Owls “spit” or regurgitate a little every once in a while. If examined in a lab the spit usually contains fragments of tiny bones of mice and other normal diet along with mosquitoes and other insects. If the ecology is declining in the region, the owl spit contains such things as tree bark showing the owls are desperate to stay alive.
It’s Axios. As likely as not it’s an attempt to torpedo Jordon. The left and the GOPe will do anything to stop Jordon from becoming Speaker. If it’s true he is going to allow a floor vote. If the rino’s agree to link Israeli aid to Ukraine money they will be exposed by a floor vote and it cause them big trouble in the primary
Stop linking things. That’s the problem. Why are the Repuke politicians afraid to vote on individual policies?
.....Like it or not .... Because of our dysfuntion and lack of unity ..... In order to get enough votes to install a speaker .... If we DO NOT unify behind somebody of our own choosing .... This will Eventually result in settling for a moderate that even the Democrats will approve of .... Because the GOP is a bunch of Feckless fools.

“allow a floor vote”
Letting Democracy work.
Which is the next better stage for us from McCarthy Lite?
Would it be Jordan Dark? I can’t even think of any democrats that could be considered Jordan Lite. I think they’ve become extinct.
wouldn’t surprise me. He seemed to get the vote without any opposition.
The anti Jordan people don’t care about Israel or Ukraine aid. They care about Jordan replacing McCarthy in an overarching sense.
So they aren’t going to be bought off with anything like that. Story likely bogus.
