[Bayard]

Bletch.

1. Sounds like it's

a done deal. I weep for our country.

[Music Man]

12. Not necessarily.

Plenty of "others" so far. McCarthy has voted for Jordan in the preceding votes, so it's no secret. Who knows their thinking, but I don't think it's any sign of things moving in Jordan's direction.

13. hope you are right

[Laurelin]

2. He's making me nauseated

He does have a gift for lying with a straight face .

[2naSalit]

6. Yeah but...

He sucks at faking sincerity. I know a couple people who are consummate liars and their tone is so forced that it sounds like this.

Like they are trying to tell a four year old why you're going to kill grandma and it's a good thing.

3. disgusting

[2naSalit]

4. JFC!!!

Where are my chest waders?!?

Forget those, I need a raft and a call for an airlift!

[dchill]

5. I threw up in my mouth a little...

...and nearly sharted.

[twodogsbarking]

7. The guy they impeached trying to get the guy they voted down twice elected.

I think I have it right but it is so hard for my mind to process.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

8. auditioning for a gig at the Improv

he got a lot of laughs

[czarjak]

9. Unbelievable!!!!!!!

11. I was trying to figure out why his voice is so

immediately repulsive. It's mostly the consistently contemptuous and outraged tone.
It's nauseating that he's nominating the even more repulsive and dangerous Jordan.
