You’d think the GOP would avoid another pedo wrestling coach

No, see, that's just bad spellcheck. They forgot the comma.

Time to clean the MRSA off the mats, Greco-Roman style.
https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/06/trump-endorses-jim-jordan-as-next-house-speaker-00120312
Donald Trump early Friday announced his endorsement of Rep. Jim Jordan to be the next speaker of the House.
He will be a GREAT Speaker of the House, & has my Complete and Total Endorsement!” the former president wrote in a post to his social media site, Truth Social, that praised Jordan’s political record as well as his college wrestling achievements.
-------------------- “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Well, he's right about one thing. Gym Jordan's college wrestling "achievements" are, unfortunately, EXTREMELY relevant experience for the GOP leadership.

 (me uncomfortably celebrating) I feel like we have a good 60% chance of having a default now. Just because it’s gonna be almost impossible for another speaker to actually get selected in time. They set such a slim margin of error.

Yeah, this is great optics for democrats, but the government not functioning plays to the Republican base.

I don't think this a good thing. I have a bad feeling jim Jordan will be the next speaker and that will be a nightmare compared to McCarthy.

I’m not happy about it. I’m just happy that Republicans are showing people how they run government. No, I’m not optimistic at all about how long and horrible this process is going to actually take. Probably a lot longer than two months. Which is when I think the Extension wears off.

Dennis Hastert was the longest serving GOP House Speaker in history. In my neighborhood they renamed roads, parks, and wrestling tournaments after the scandal. We also have a local state politician named Hassert who also has stuff named after him, within a few miles of Hastert's. People mix up the names and try to cancel him too.
