Another Republican First?
Well, just when the frontrunner to be the new Republican Speaker of the House seemed to be Steve Scalise, a man who once called himself "David Duke without the baggage," i.e. a Nazi but nobody knew it, the odds seem to have shifted strongly in favor of Jim Jordan, who is now endorsed by Donald Trump.
I am not going to retell for the ten thousandth time what a disgusting asshole Jordan is- we are likely to have plenty of time to do that in the next year or so. I do however want to point out that the Republicans now have an opportunity to once again accomplish something never before achieved in our nation's entire political history- They may become the only party ever to have selected, in a two decade span, two Speakers of the House who were implicated in underage sex scandals involving a wrestling team. Whoever thought we would ever see that? Guiness Book of World Records, sit up and take notice.
