He went to OSU...just like Dahmer.  There's 1.

Trump and MAGA: So Much (for) Winning.

I would guess with Jordan's chances of winning the Chair directly evaporating, the Nihilism caucus has realized that it McHenry gets a bipartisan mandate they lose their leverage, so now they need to get out ahead of it - give him the gavel with just GOP votes and nothing will have changed, their leverage remains intact. Of course they may find McHenry to be a less feckless foil than McCarthy was -- maybe.

In fact McHeny's power might inhere exactly in the fact he may not care if he loses the job - and thus be less willing to kowtow to keep it.

Just proving once again that Jordan, Trump and most of the party is nothing but hot air.

That last statement really cuts to why he'd be a disaster as leader.... there are simply things that you have to do in that role that involve coordination with the other party, and he's completely and utterly incapable of being that person.

McCarthy, by contrast, was capable but part of his undoing (and why the Dems didn't save him) is because he breached trust too many times.

It reminds me a bit about the story Howard Stern told about one of his first jobs. He was a horrible jock then. Management made him program director because he showed up on time every day.

Not exactly great credentials for a management position. What was Jordan's pre political history? Assistant wrestling coach? Once again not exactly major leadership material

this week, the House has been in session 6 minutes Monday to recite Pledge of Allegiance, and for about 2 hours each on Tuesday and Wednesday; they are supposed to gavel in at noon, but I think they are not going to do anything other than recite POA. This is exactly what MAGA wants the government to do - nothing.

[Tigerbomb13]

Oh, MAGA. So much losing. So much. Losing.

Things I’m reading seem to indicate McHenry doesn’t really want this job long term.  I suppose he’ll accept the gavel, but won’t exactly be happy about it.

this tells me the holdouts are worried about violence from the MAGAs

[CMRivdogs]

Which is why Washington despised political parties. Damn you Jefferson, Madison and Adams. Hamilton as well

Let's simplify this further: several of us predicted that the result of Trump would be the splitting of the Republican Party.

It's happening.

LOLOLOL

Deal for McHenry is apparently dead in the GOP caucus and Jordan is going to go for another vote.

Near as I can read this, the radicals don't want McHenry, they want Jordan. Hopefully they are pushing the 'moderates', OK, correct that, there may no 'moderates', lets just call them the 'sane' caucus, closer to the embrace of Mr Jeffries.

[romad1]

Sounds like Jordan wants more time to bully and intimidate the holdouts.

The Nancy Mace was sleeping with McCarthey story is interesting.  I heard that second hand but it would explain some of her bizonkers behavior.

lots of rumors about the affair on twit

Is that who she was talking about when she said she turned down sex to go to a gop meeting a few months ago?
