post-2022 - deplorables in disarray thread

Jim Jordan has decided to not hold a third vote on his speaker bid.

He’s not dropping his bid, but is expected to back the plan to temporarily empower Speaker pro tempore Patrick McHenry

That'll give them more time to threaten and bully the holdouts.

Cue word salad part duex
One of charged fraudulent Michigan electors, plead guilty yesterday and is cooperating with prosecutors.  The question is of course how wide that investigation is becoming.
Another flipper in GA

NEW: Kenneth Chesebro, alleged architect of the “fake electors” plot, has struck a plea deal with prosecutors in Fulton County, Georgia, per source familiar with the arrangement. — Anna Bower, Lawfare
Trump's biggest weakness is fake ass friends, man
@RickLenzie
This guy sat in the Speaker Chair longer than Jim Jordan did.


not even a half a mooch
Doesn’t seem to be much disarray among those charged in the GA election interference case,  yet another lawyer TFG has hardly heard of just pleaded guilty.  Forthcoming word salad with the word millions mentioned multiple times
Only the best

Jenna Ellis tearfully addresses Judge McAfee, reading from a prepared apology to the citizens of Georgia: "If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-election challenges. I look back on this experience with deep remorse."

I would be ok with that, if he wasn't an election denier. Just as his supporters would be ok with it BECAUSE he is an election denier.
This was like a well executed magic trick (illusion, Michael).  How do we transform a known, polarizing right wing hack into an unknown, innocuous looking but ultra far right extremist hack . . .all while appearing incompetent?  Some comedy, some distraction, some sleight of hand and shazam. 
So will we be able to measure his time as speaker in Scaramuccis?

Although he is a MAGA conservative’s wet dream, the right wing grifter sect have already gloomed on to the fact that he came out and acknowledged racism still exists… 

And seriously who votes to get the benefits, everyone pays to get over a lifetime cut.. oh wait drag performers are groomers, my bad…
Yikes….


Speaker Mike Johnson tonight: “Someone asked me today in the media, ‘People are curious, what does Mike Johnson think about any issue?’ I said, ‘Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it. That’s my worldview.”
So he doesn’t eat shellfish then ::)
