[1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-10-19 Of course, this happened! Of course, we knew it would happen. Of course, Jim Jordan either didn’t think it would happen or simply enjoys flagellating himself to amuse his puppet masters… Whatever the cause or case, the result is this—Jim Jordan is still not House Speaker and will likely not be Speaker, which is glorious. Also on today’s menu: Sidney Powell folded like a deck chair and released a Kraken of a guilty plea in the Fulton County RICO case. SHOCKING Guilty Plea Entered by Trump Co-Defendant, STUNS Everyone - YouTube I must have been a Very Good Girl because Santa delivered many presents this morning. The Jordan low-down Capital Police are now investigating credible death threats against Iowa Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks, who initially voted for Jim Jordon as Speaker but backed off after Representative Don Bacon’s (R-Nebraska) wife received a threatening text that alluded to political retaliation if her husband didn’t vote for Jordan. They were not the only ones contracted either—Nick LaLota, who voted against Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House on Wednesday, was also threatened. Business Insider reveals: GOP Rep. Nick LaLota, who voted for former New York Rep. Lee Zeldin in both speaker votes, also shared a threat to X that he and his office received on Wednesday. "My vote card belongs to me and the people of NY's First Congressional District," LaLota wrote. "I will not succumb to threats. Rather, I'll support a Speaker candidate who will fund the WTC Health Fund, Nat'l Flood Insurance and SALT, while keeping the gov't open + secure border & cut spending." The backlash to all this creeping madness is still rippling down the halls of Congress, leaving Jim set to lose even more votes. Interestingly, Jimmy tried his best to look and sound like a leader before hemorrhaging support by calling for unity. According to Shirley Kennedy of Palmer Report: Sean Hannity is, of course, backing Jordan and trying to help him, sending him a list of the 20 who voted against him Tuesday and suggesting Jordan call them “politely, of course.” Jordan likely doesn’t know the meaning of the word “polite.” Earlier in the week, he had written his fellow Republicans: “The country and our conference cannot afford us attacking each other right now. As Republicans, we are blessed to have an energetic conference comprised of members with varied background[s], experiences, and skills-just like the country we represent.” They are nothing like the country they represent, especially Jim Jordan. His efforts might have worked for the two Republicans who changed their votes, but he ended up with four new ones who obviously don’t appreciate his pressure tactics. Jim Jordan’s Threats BACKFIRE as Republicans he TARGETED Fight Back - YouTube x x YouTube Video True stuff, Kennedy—I mean seriously! Our country was founded on bipartisanship, and yet we have one party playing keep-away with the legislative process and wondering why there is so much dysfunction: Republicans: We’re not working with Democrats! Also, Republicans: Why won’t Democrats work with us? Can you imagine if we carried this obstructionist mindset into the workplace? “No, I am not collaborating with Sanchez in accounting—Sanchez likes cheese on his hamburger; what kind of crazy person puts dairy on meat? People with bodies in the basement, that’s who!” I jest, but I hear arguments in Congress that have about the same level of logic. Nothing would ever get done if every American worker was this petty or histrionic—yet for some reason, this level of immaturity is lauded in Congress. They have all lost their damned minds. The Powell low-down Ya’ll remember Sidney “The Kraken” Powell? I know I do, and I could not, cannot, stand her—she toured the news circuit for months after the 2020 election peddling crackpot theories and lies to unscrupulous journalists looking to insert themselves into the national spotlight. Her tentacles now entangled in a net of her own creation, Powell’s lies have caught up with her! She is about to be served in calamari-sized chunks on a platter held by Fani Willis, and my fork is at the ready. Part of what is not so affectionately called “Team Crazy,” which included Chesboro, Giuliani, and Jenna Ellis, she was instrumental in constructing the ham-brained election scheme to begin with! The fact she has a deal means she gave up some good stuff. Some really good stuff. With the late October trial date looming, there was a bit of a running pool on which one of them would cave first, Cheseboro or Powell. I thought it would be Kenneth mahself, so I was shocked to read of Powell’s guilty plea. The details of the deal, as per the Daily Beast, are as follows: As part of the agreement read out in court, Powell will serve six years of probation—12 months for each count—pay $8,700 in fines and restitution, and testify against her co-defendants. That means she’ll now be a state witness against the former president, making her the most high-profile Trump associate to flip on her former boss. First thoughts: Ruh-roh Raggey. Sidney’s deflection does not bode well for Trump and the gang. Powell knows where many bodies are kept, and she is about to sing like—well, a Kraken. Wait… do Krakens sing? Any-e-hoo, I don’t know about you guys, but I enjoy my Schadenfreude grilled with a heaping side of karma, and all I can say is pass the hot sauce! Bon appetit!
