Jim Jordan, Speaker of the House? NO!!!

I’m sorry,  but the record established by Jim Jordan as a representative from Ohio is much more an agent of chaos,  than anything one might construe as doing the people’s business in Congress.  He is an ardent Trump supporter,  a 2020 election denier,  and there is at least some reason to believe he should also be under indictment,  regarding the Jan 6,  2021,  insurrection at the Capitol.

This is absolutely NOT the man you want running the agenda for the House of Representatives,  who is also third in line to Presidency!

What you are seeing here is the Trump cult loud minority trying to find a way to rig things so that they can pull the levers of power in Washington,  despite not having the votes to get their way properly.  Failing that,  I predict (warn!!!) that they will continue to cause paralysis in the House,  causing the government to be dysfunctional,  and drive it into default on its debt.  This is deliberate sabotage!

The Trump cultists are hoping there will be an outcry from the people to “do something” if this chaos persists long enough and causes enough destruction.  Their hope is to topple our democracy and install a dictatorship in its place,  something espoused in public by former Trump advisor retired General Flynn (many have forgotten that,  but I did not!),  with Trump (or a younger Trump wannabee like Desantis) as dictator.

This is absolutely NOT the Republican party that I once knew and respected!  There are now no longer enough traditional Republicans to resist the Trump cultists.  This Trump cult group is now a direct,  clear,  and present danger to our republic.   Personally,  I see little difference between them,  and what happened in 1933 Germany with the Nazi takeover from within.  The Nazis were a Hitler cult.

Do not be fooled by what they say.  Look instead at what they actually do!  Which speaks volumes! 

My sincere recommendation:  vote these people out,  as fast and as decisively as you can!  It does not matter who the opponent is,  or what his party affiliation is.  You cannot do any worse than what you have right now!  You might do better!

You CANNOT say that I did not warn you!

Update 10-20-2023:  Jordan lost a 3rd vote (with fewer votes each time) and has been deleted as a GOP candidate for Speaker,  according to news reports.  Whew,  that's a relief!  Now we have to see who they might nominate instead.  The risk would be another Trump-cult agent of chaos.  

Update 10-23-2023:  The House GOP is now considering 9 candidates from which to select a nominee to be speaker.  I checked the news stories to find out who they are and a little bit about them.  7 of the 9 voted to decertify the 2020 election results after the Jan 6 2021 insurrection took place!  Of the other 2,  one supported the lawsuit in Texas to overturn the 2020 election results (Emmer),  and the other was a Jim Jordan supporter (Scott),  right up until he dropped out. 

As far as I am concerned,  the ties all 9 candidates have to the Trump-cult attempt to overturn the election and stop the peaceful transfer of power,   totally disqualifies each and every one of them as a credible candidate to be Speaker of the House!  They only have credibility with the Trump cultists.  I do not see in any of them,  a candidate that even might possibly prioritize actually doing the people’s business,  above their extremist political agenda.

My conclusion from all that is this:  any non-Trump-cult Republicans that still might remain in the House need to get with the House Democrats and do the suggested bipartisan deal.  I think we will soon see if any such still exist in the House.  If not,  get ready for long-lasting paralysis of Congress,  and a debt payment default that hurts us all,  plus a total calamity in our foreign policy during a time of multiple crises plus a war that seriously threatens to widen and engulf us all. 

That last aids and comforts our enemies,  and that is in the Constitutional definition of treason! 

Merrick Garland and the DOJ:  are you listening?  Did you hear what I just said? 

You need to do something about Trump-cult treason,  and you need to do it quickly!!!  You will have millions of eyewitnesses to these acts of treason,  witnesses who will have seen this on live TV.  One or more eyewitnesses to the act is a Constitutional requirement,  too.  And it will be satisfied.

Update 10-25-2023:  They selected Emmer as their candidate,  but he dropped out only hours afterward,  when both Trump and the Trump-cult extremists denounced him (as not being enough of a Trump supporter).  Now they have selected Mike Johnson of Louisiana,  one of the 7 who voted to decertify the election,  and a well-known ardent Trump supporter and Jordan supporter.  We will see where that goes!  

The choice seems to be to either give control of the House to the Trump-cult extremists (leading directly to the end of our democracy),  or simply continue the ongoing chaos and paralysis (leading perhaps to the end of our democracy).  Which is EXACTLY what I warned you readers about above! 

Late-breaking same day:  the non-Trump-cult Republicans gave up and let the House elect Mike Johnson of Louisiana as its Speaker.  That gives total control of 1 house of Congress to a bunch of radical extremists that are bound and determined to destroy our democracy and replace it with a dictatorship.  Expect nothing useful from Congress,  and thus our entire government,  from this point! 

Expect to see some non-Trump-cult Republicans assassinated between now and the 2024 election.  It's called a "purge".  We've seen this before,  with the Fascists,  the Nazis,  and the Bolsheviks,  as well as the Maoists.  

Expect also that they will attempt to install Trump as dictator,  via the 2024 election,  whether he is a convicted felon or not,  and whether he is behind bars or not!  

Better arm yourselves!  It is only a matter of time before these extremists come for you,  too!
