Republican has now become synonymous with manure, as in, the bull just Republicaned all over the water trough, or to a pig farmer: What do you do with all that Republican? Well, we have settling ponds and once the Republican settles we can then take the dried Republican and spread it on our fields.

Jordan Agonistes
A world on fire. A House on fire.
CHARLIE SYKES
OCT 18





The rationale behind Jim Jordan’s bid for the Speakership goes something like this: We have a political terrorism problem in the House, so we need a terrorist in charge to keep it under control. Only an extremist can control the extremists who would otherwise burn the place down.

That logic apparently made sense to the vast majority of the House GOP. But not enough to actually turn the House of Representatives over to Jim Jordan, at least not yet.

To be sure, the homunculus from Ohio could still end up with the gavel because the pattern and practice of GOP normies is usually to cave.

But there is also a non-zero possibility that even in the Era of Nothing Matters, there might still be a red line. Maybe obnoxious assholery, legislative incompetence, performative demagoguery, and personal loathsomeness still have political consequences.

Who knew?

Meanwhile, Matt Labash connects some dots:


In a note to a reader, Matt adds: “I, for one, would vote for a taco over Jim Jordan. Though tacos and Jim Jordan have things in common, too. They both make huge messes. And neither has ever authored a bill that’s become a law.”

Happy Wednesday.

I think, he is pretty savvy guy so don’t let your TDS blind you
