This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

Ask yourself, What does a Jimmy Jordan speakership accomplish? Does it move the house Republican Party further down the road of unity? Will it help them in the elections next year? Half of the Republican House members dislike Jim Jordan bitterly and the other half hate him even more. Jim couldn’t lead a fire drill with a map, a Boy Scout handbook, and a flashlight.

It’s the old double whammy. Most don’t like Jim, and most don’t think he’s up to the job intellectually. So, with so many Republicans so staunchly against Jim’s candidacy, why is Jim even there at all? Why the big push and vote for someone so disliked and distrusted?  Need I say his name?

When Jim’s name was first floated, it was taken with a polite thank you. We will take that under advisement. Then ole 45 piped up and began voicing support. The Republicans have a four-seat majority and between ten to twelve Seditionist types. Jordan being one of the ringleaders of the seditionist caucus. There’s your log jam.

The tyranny of the minority, they want what they want and won’t settle. They want control over the institution to commit political heresy and terrorism. Fascist arm twisting all in the name of Donald Trump. Republican House members say they have been receiving threatening communications on X, where they still believe in free speech and free intimidation.

You better vote for Jim if you know what’s good for you!

What name comes to mind when you read of such politics? But the math is unplayable, Jordan can’t afford to lose more than four Republican votes and he lost twenty. Most of that group are adamant Jim Jordan never! Don’t think of Jimmy yellow tie as a disloyal traitor type of do-nothing Congressman. Think of Jim as an empty vessel, just waiting to have a diabolical orange personality injected inside him. To fester and run amok in the halls of Congress.

Don’t think of it as a race for speaker, think of it as more a strong-arm merger or mob takeover. “I want you to make “Little Jimmy” the speaker for me. And the very second that gavel falls, so ends Republican control of the house. The control ceded to Donald Trump and the seditionists. Jan 6^th 2.0.  Which helps to explain the deep polarization inside the Republican ranks.

They aren’t fighting for a speaker; they are fighting for their political lives. The mystic secret truth known only to the upper echelon of grade 7 and above, is a large part and perhaps even a majority of the Republican Party. Wish Donald Trump would just drop off the face of the Earth. Trump has outlived his usefulness to the Party and was never that popular inside the Republican Party to begin with.

Now? Trump is over the hill and unlikely to hold any further office besides the convict representative to the Warden. Everyone is assumed innocent until proven guilty but facing over 90 felonies, what are the odds? What kind of odds would Vegas give on Trump beating all the charges?

Damaged goods beyond his sell date. Angry and vindictive and under two, count em, two gag orders. The Republicans see their chance to slowly back away. “Who? Oh him, I think it’s time for new blood. How about that Vivek Ramaswamy or Nikki Haley? Pretty good huh?” If only they could find just one candidate who wasn’t detestable, they could rally around.

Now imagine you’re a psychologically damaged former President with delusions of grandeur peppered with a paranoid persecution complex with a taste for orange face paint. You can see it all slipping away from you, and you can see the Party is trying to move on without you.

What do you do? Do you just let it happen and give up the fight? Or do you fight back and try and get your unelected ass made Speaker of the House through an empty vessel such as a proxy. Already there is talk of making the temporary Speaker more like the regular speaker, taking the issue off the burner to cool. There is no compromise candidate and there never will be.

This seditionist caucus isn’t interested in unity, but in destruction. They want the battle to go on and on because that is the message, they’ve received from their Orange overlord. In chaos Trump wins. If Trump can get his proxy elected, he will be able to throttle the Republican Party. Creating orange Zombies to ply the Trump line of disinformation. Trump might be under a gag order, but his Zombies aren’t.

A full-blown conspiracy to overthrow democracy. Who would have thunk it? Trump is no longer the Party darling and so intends on taking over by force and intimidation. By taking the house hostage Trump will try to use his leverage to get the prosecutors off his back. But this is a psychologically damaged bitter old fart, who knows no limits. He has no care or concern for Republicans in the house. Trump has no concern for the Republican majority or the Party.

Trump is perfectly willing to burn down the house and the Republican Party. There is only one person in the world Donald Trump is concerned with. This is a dangerous man (Duh) with his non-flying monkey in a yellow tie.

“I understood the infamous spiritual terror which this movement exerts, particularly on the bourgeoisie, which is neither morally nor mentally equal to such attacks; at a given sign it unleashes a veritable barrage of lies and slanders against whatever adversary seems most dangerous, until the nerves of the attacked persons break down … This is a tactic based on precise calculation of all human weaknesses, and its result will lead to success with almost mathematical certainty …” ― William L.
