I told my readers that this whole political circus would be a sh*t show…..and so it is.
The front runner for the speaker’s position was Scalise and now that has turned to poo-poo.
One day after he won a GOP ballot to seek the position of House speaker, Steve Scalise is out of the running. “It’s been quite a journey,” the GOP majority leader told reporters Thursday night. “And there’s still a long way to go. I just shared with my colleagues that I’m withdrawing my name as a candidate for the speaker designee.” The reason? Scalise knew he’d never be able to get the required 217 votes in the full House because at least 10 Republicans vowed to oppose him, per Politico.
So now what? It appears that GOP Rep. Jim Jordan, the man Scalise defeated Wednesday, will again try to win the Republican conference ballot. However, it remains uncertain whether he has enough support to do that or, should he succeed, to reach the threshold of 217 votes after that. “This country is counting on us to come back together,” Scalise said Thursday. “But there’s some folks that really need to look in the mirror over the next couple of days and decide are we going to get it back on track, or they’re going to try to pursue their own agenda,” he said, per Axios. The House has been without a speaker for nine days since GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz led the charge to oust Kevin McCarthy from the post.
Looks like Jordan will try again….that lowly Trump-ite in charge of the House….could government get more silly?
Who will step forward to be in charge of the worst Congress in many years?
The clowns are circling….let the circus commence.
Stay Tune!

I am not American but i don’t know why all people think trump will be the man who save the world from 3rd world wide war do you believe that? .
I am an American and I cannot understand it…Americans are filled with hate and bias. Thanx for the comment. chuq
Maybe a fraction of Americans think that, “think” being used ironically.
Government can’t get more silly but it sure as hell can get more dangerous…
I know you are right but I cannot help but see the silliness. chuq
Let’s talk about silliness when we get a radical right wing government that decides to send all liberals to re-education facilities.
But I thought FEMA was already doing that….LOL chuq
I believe that is a old Tea Party propagada
Yes it is and a very good one at the time…LOL chuq
And the clowns all look like Pennywise.
Killer Clowns from Space. chuq
Jordan? I would laugh but feel more like crying. What a travesty that would be!
I agree and it looks like he could walk in without a problem…so very scary. chuq
The situation over there gets more confusing for me every day.
Best wishes, Pete.
I gets more pitiful for me chuq
