Former President Donald Trump is officially backing Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the pugnacious House Judiciary Committee chairman and longtime Trump defender, to succeed Kevin McCarthy as House speaker.

“Congressman Jim Jordan has been a STAR long before making his very successful journey to Washington, D.C., representing Ohio’s 4th Congressional District,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social site shortly after midnight Friday. “He will be a GREAT Speaker of the House, & has my Complete & Total Endorsement!”

Makes sense that Trump would endorse a fellow sex criminal.

This is never going to stop being ridiculous is it?

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Until they're voted out of office... probably not

I'm guessing it will get worse before it gets better there's more than a year before we can vote these clowns out. The scary thing is we really pushed hard in 2022 to keep them out. Every election counts the local, midterms and presidential if we don't work hard these clowns will be right back in.

Been that way for as long as I remember.

They're getting exponentially more ridiculous though.

How to find the worst person for the job. Look for the one trump supports

[–] dragonflyteaparty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hmmm, maybe second worst to Trump himself.

Of course. Jordan's job is primarily to obstruct investigations.

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I think there's a lot of truth in that

When you think you’re a king-maker but are really only a clown-appointer.

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The scary thing is Jordan won with over 69% of the vote in his district.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is not surprising. Ohio is about as red as it gets.

That's not entirely accurate what about Sherrod Brown? He's definitely facing a tough reelection but he is a three term senator.
