My dearest friends, as much as I do not want to accept certain things, this one is critical to accept. Jim Jordan has shown over time that he is simply a purposefully placed “anger manager” on behalf of the Professionally Republican wing of the administrative state.
(snip)For the past several years, as more intensity has swirled around us, Representative Jim Jordan has appeared as more of a useful “anger manager,” better positioned to satiate the masses than actually deliver any accountability results. The media appearances seemed to align with that intent, and then a very big datapoint surfaced that few -other than myself- seemed to be concerned about.

If he gets it will he start putting his damn COAT on?? This whole shirtsleeves schtick has gotten old.
Particularly after Fetterman took it to the extreme.

I read this on this yesterday and it is definitely good for thought. It is not just a negative blog to rile up Jordan’s critics more than they are. Kevin did not resign, unfortunately, and I heard retribution in his little speech. Kevin can manipulate and “advise” of either of his two buddies Jordan or Scalise are chosen. I have zero doubt Kevin is pushing them behind the scenes. This convenient little vacation called by McHenry gave the shenanigans time to yield what the Uniparty wants.

The history of Republican speakers is awful. The conservatives must retain the right to call a vote to get rid of them, if they don't do their job. We have been stuck with McConnell for a decade, even though he has very little support from Republican voters. The leadership can't be fired, and the bureaucrats can't be fired, which is how the Deep State keeps control of the government without popular support.

I can see where one can conclude that Jordan is a lot of emotional dissertation but no subsequent action (someone here earler referred to him as Trey Gowdy redux). Although Sundance offers no alternatives, I assume he would like to see Trump take the chair until he's again elected President.

Finally.
We can call a spade a spade.
And call Jim Jordan a Deep State operative — something we’ve all known, but were reticent to verbalize.
(BTW: Jim Jordan has never made the Trustworthies List.)

So, according to Sundance, Jim Jordan is corrupt or, at best, compromised. Perhaps, Sundance muses, it is because Jordan covered up sexual abuse in the Ohio State wrestling program and was sheltered by Federal intelligence agencies, which means Jordan is owned by the Deep State. No proof or even evidence does Sundance provide. At any rate, Jordan actually has no intention of holding those who abuse their positions to account. He is all bark and no bite. So says blogger Sundance.
Jim Jordan's actual sin is that he opposed removing McCarthy and after that defenestration is prepared, as the new speaker, to continue the nefarious schemes that the previous speak supported. The paranoia runs very thick in the basement where Conservative Treehouse is cranked out.

Why not Gaetz? He’s tight with Trump.

This anonymous, therefore unaccountable Sundance dude never saw a Republican he didn't set out to destroy. And, no- Trump is no more a Republican than all the Republican hating RINO's posting on this site. Look in the mirror- you're the RINO's.
Sundance is most probably a Democrat operative jerking your chains and making you dance like marionettes.

I wasn't aware that Trump had a skill set that included peace-making parliamentarian. Why do so many naturally assume Trump would be an effective speaker? The speaker's duties are nothing like those of running the Executive Branch. The speaker plays an important role as negotiator between the House and president and with the Senate, and as the point person for the House’s fundamental role in originating and passing legislation and controlling “the power of the purse” to tax and spend taxpayer money. Besides, Trump signed CRs in 2019, so if eliminating the CRs is a goal of the faction steering the House, post McCarthy, then I'd question Trump's eagerness and diligence to act as the terminator. Since 1850, the speaker has the right to vote on all House matters but it is unclear how or even if that would apply to a speaker who was not first elected to the House. So far, in our nation's history that has not happened.

Now that President Trump has decided to endorse Jim Jordan for Speaker, does that make him a RINO or a RINO-sympathizer?

I have to smile when I see the same old names saying the same old stuff about SD. Read the articles and source links? Ha. That's too much work...
Twenty or so years ago it was an LDotter who recommended SD/CTH for its investigative reporting and deep digging... And its accuracy.

Sundance and his cheerleaders on this board ought to keep in mind that Superman has not indicated any interest in becoming Speaker of the House.

Hard as it is to imagine, would his speakership bring no MAGA change...just hands across the aisle conciliation? Points to ponder. Read before you pounce.
