Sooo need that puke emoji.
Itâs all part of The Plan. HisPillow has a cloaking device.
Soon it will be just him in a pillow costume waving at people driving by on some busy highway.
Thatâs why Iâve encouraged House Democrats to invite the abuse victims Jordan abandoned (and then lied about) to the visitorsâ gallery during the speaker voteâthey can sit next to the police officers who were injured on January 6, 2021âto accentuate the fact that the overwhelming majority of Republicans will be knowingly voting for a bad guy. Jordan wonât be a liability to his party automatically; Democrats, using opposition tactics that fix media attention onto the controversy, have to make him one, or the press will get bored and move on.
A big Democratic push to frame Jordanâs nomination like that would, if he wins anyhow, set the right tone for the beginning of his speakershipâaswirl in questions about his corruption, his phony morals, his abuses of power. It would also offset the temptation within the political press to reward Jordan with what we in the industry call âbeat sweeteners.â And beat sweeteners happen to be the subject of this weekâs episode of Decoding the News. We recorded this on Friday, before Jordan had made a race of it, but the insights apply as much to him as to anyone who manages to become speaker through all this dysfunction. A rough transcript is below for those of you who canât watch or donât enjoy video media.
One less asshole.
Wife in intensive care, though.
If he gets fired for this I guarantee you thereâs an even smaller police department that will hire him.
Wasnât DeathSantis hiring rogue cops for his special force a while back?
Cleta Mitchell makes an appearance.
Under her own rules, is she even allowed to say âwokeâ?
Someone wants to bankrupt the state they allegedly govern. Iâm assuming the first lawsuit was filed before the ink dried on her signature?
Sheâs always appearing somewhere.
