Tanking

Jim Jordan as Speaker of the House. There it is.

Wow.

I’m sure the pursuit has taken on a life of its own. Jordan seemed pretty chill about the whole thing until Scalise bowed out and his name moved to the fore, but of course the backroom discussions were happening and he saw things falling into place and said, “Oh yeah. Let’s do this.”

What a freaking nightmare.

May he also come up short. If the less radical Republicans decide to put their support behind Jordan, then we can kiss our collective ass goodbye. And all we can do is watch the dirigible go down in flames, lamenting what’s happened to humanity.
