Shrugging Towards Bethlehem To Be Born

Matt Gaetz asks:

Dear @PatrickMcHenry - 

You and you alone are in charge of scheduling our election for House Speaker.  

Friday Jim Jordan was elected Speaker- Designate. 

The American People want Jordan to be Speaker. 

Why did we take Saturday off? 

Why did we take Sunday off? 

Why are we taking Monday off? 

No more swampy closed-door struggle sessions.

So Jordan’s supporters can threaten GOP House members with political death if they don’t vote for Jordan?

Just a wild guess….

Meanwhile, Trump finally stepped in it, up to his ass. I mean, even Lindsay Graham:

"Yeah, that was a huge mistake ... yeah it was a mistake. I thought it was not helpful ... No, I wouldn't criticize Bibi."

And:

While Graham was on NBC criticizing Trump, Nikki Haley was doing the same on CNN. Haley was asked about Trump's comments about Netanyahu and also his statement that the Israeli Defense Minister was "a jerk." Haley criticized not only Trump's comments on Israel but also his comments about China and President Xi: 

"He congratulated the Chinese Community Party not too long ago. He's saying Hezbollah is smart ... You don't go and compliment any of them. Because what that does is make America look weak ... It's the wrong place at the wrong time. This isn't about Trump. It's not about him."

And this is AFTER Trump “apologized.” This is “Entertainment Tonight” part deux, except lots of Americans actually support Israel and don’t have warm feelings for Hezbollah and so aren’t as likely to shrug it off.
