Democratic leaders spoke on the steps of the Capitol and dialed up their rhetoric against Republicans for nominating a conservative firebrand to be the next House speaker.
What a headline. Why would anyone ever even think the Democrats would help nominate Jim Fucking Jordan? Oh man, those Democrats really had an opportunity to reach across the aisle here but now I see they’re just allergic to bipartisanship for not supporting the “conservative firebrand” and “guy who wanted to overturn an election they won”. He’s one of the least acceptable choices they have, why frame it like they refused to do a thing that’s manifestly stupid?
They are either totally desperate, or (more likely) they are so delusional that they actually believe that insurrectionists, right-wing extremists, and whatever other ilk the GOP shoved into the House would be OK for the democrats.

I wouldn’t label him aa “one of the least acceptable choices.”
He’s one of the most abhorrently unacceptable ones.
Nancy Mace claimed, with a straight face, in an interview with Jake Tapper that she’s spoken to Democrats in Congress that say they trust Jim Jordan.

I burst out in laughter. I honestly had not laughed that long in a very long time.
Jake Tapper finally got her to admit that they “trusted Jim Jordan more than Kevin McCarthy.” Not exactly a high bar there.
The fallacy of understated evidence is a favorite of politicians, especially Republicans.
Also, I don’t fucking believe even her adjusted claim. Give names or STFU, Nancy.
I trust that Jim Jordan will do anything to to get Trump into power and overthrow the government.
