Oh please, oh please, vote for gym Jordan for speaker...please, PLEASE...

[Enter stage left]

I so want him to the the rePuq speaker of the house.

It would be so entertaining to watch him subpoena ANYONE, and try to enforce it when that person told him politely to "pound sand", that I'll respond to your subpoena 12 months after YOU (gym Jordan) respond to the subpoena from the Jan 6th commission.

That could be some of the most entertaining moments in House history.

Please make that hypocrite the rePuq choice for speaker.

1. +1

2. Don't forget, the Speaker is third in line for the presidency.

But maybe it doesn't matter because they're all terrible.

[Maru Kitteh]

3. 2nd in line.

The President is not "in line" with himself. VP is 1st, Speaker is 2nd.

5. I suppose that's right, was just counting 1-2-3. The point is, though,

that although the contingency is very unlikely, the idea of a tool like Jordan or McCarthy being that close is kind of disturbing.

4. who is fourth ?

[Ocelot II]

6. After the Speaker, it's the President pro tem of the Senate - as of today that's Patty Murray.
