Thank you for putting the appropriate amount of disrespect on that man’s name

indeed, his friends call him Gym

That's right, Jim Jordan helped cover up the ongoing sexual abuses of many students. It's unknown if Jim Jordan was also sexually abusing students himself.

Jim Jordan then supported an insurrection against the United States government.

Conservatives agree that sex abuse supporter and insurrectionist Jim Jordan accurately represents them.

it really blows my mind that there were absolutely no consequences for what they were doing out in the open like that. then again, it also feels like 'par for the course' given everything else in the last 6+ years.

The media companies do not have anything aside from profits in their sights.

Les Moonves (CBS CEO): “It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS.”

Whenever a news site says "firebrand" I hear "public figure with anger issues."

For some reason I've been wanting to hear one of these dolts apply the term to themselves. "I'm a...I'm a firebrand". With an Elvis accent. Really flesh out the caricature.

EDIT: Grammar

This is one of those having-their-cake-and-eating-it-too moments, because the Democrats are taking the high road, by using nothing but the truth, yet doing it in a way that is guaranteed to fuck with (and piss off) the Republicans.

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.

I have a diagram that explains the whole thing

"See, because 95% of the votes to remove McCarthy as speaker came from Democrats, they are the ones responsible for the current gridlock. We have presented multiple candidates including Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise. It is now up to the Democrats to tell us which one of these two they're willing to get behind so we can get back to business. And no, we are not going to offer up any concessions to help Democrats fix a mess that they created. We've done our part, now they need to do theirs."

-- Actual GOP talking points I've seen online.

That's after the Republican hypocrisy of "we now have to heal as a nation and work together oh BTW guys who cares there was just an insurrection caused by our side lols"

What all those people never acknowledge is that some seats won't stay R.

So while siding with Dems will hurt their Republican primary chances, could be the only way they win in a purple election is by becoming a Manchin Democrat.

Change only the letter by your name and hope the new party blindly supports them for being an incumbent.

Man says of landfill: "It's a real dump over there."

I think the Dems often want to minimize the hurt put on the American people. If they caved and helped establish a new speaker, they could do things like avoid another government shutdown. But while I know it would hurt Americans and I don't want that to happen, I think it might be for the best in the long term if the Dems refuse to help out, and let the Repubs flounder for as long as it takes them to get on the same team, to show America that the GOP is fucking broken.

What a world, where these evil Democrats go out there and say things that demonstrably comport with reality! How dare they!

Because they’re all traitors.

Hey, that's not fair! Obama also wore a tan suit and ate fancy mustard!

Sexual abuse supporter? People are complex and have many different facets.
