I just realized I was watching CBS and thought, Oh no sense watching this. This is all lies

This couldn't be working out any better for Vladimir Putin.

[alycenolan]

Hahahahaha he didn't even pass the bar.

Ringling Brothers could take lessons from the Republicans of the current House! Then again, even though they perform the greatest sh#t show on earth, they are not funny! Maybe we should just ask Ringling Bros B&B to lead the Senate. They would do a much better job!

hard to lead a group of government reps whose goal is to destroy said government I guess

Republican representatives are being asked to get behind Jordan, but it unclear whether they can stand the smell.

[martinlee]

Swamps are not going to support Jim Jordan

[ivettecuevas]

Noooo please not this devil please baby Jesus not him

[rogerorme]

Oh my goodness he is dangerous to the nation

[margieramthum]

Why craziness. He was a declared candidate and graciously stepped down when Scalise took more of the vote. Now he has steeped back up. Just like anyone would have done. Scalise stepped down for several reasons. His health and the lack of vote. No big secret. You guys in the press just have to bring the drama

[jjohnston]

Does CBS still mean "Communist BS"?

[laurencrouse]

get it together republicans... we want a moderate, uniting speaker that will work with the dems... we don't need any radicals or extremists to be the next speaker...

[barrybrowner]

Are you crazy? Jim Jordan is the worst person for speaker. He should be in jail.

[peppep]

The guy who covered up 150+ gay/underaged rape cases? That Jim Jordan?

[estellecourt]

Jim Jordan is the creepiest of all the creeps. Well, maybe Stephen Miller is weirder.

[CarbageMan]

So, I noticed all the reporters are sufficiently brown.

[ronaldbrockett]

Jordan is a nightmare no way he should even get close to be nominated

[donclayton]

Jordan should be in prison for covering up for a child sec abuser
