Let’s start with ignoring a subpoena in the investigation into the events surrounding what happened on January 6th, but then becoming the chair of the House Judiciary Committee and expecting his subpoenas to be obeyed. He was one of the strongest supporters of the whole “Election was stolen.” narrative and didn’t hesitate to voice it time and again. The Center for Effective Lawmaking has ranked him one of the least effective lawmakers in Congress. In their most recent study, he was ranked 202 out of 205 among Republicans.Jordan is more concerned with getting sound bites on Fox News than serving his constituents. John Boehner, a fellow Republican, labeled him a “legislative terrorist” as far back as 2013. Jim Jordan is not the person who can work in a bipartisan manner, and that is what Congress needs right now. And if that isn’t enough, he didn’t speak up about the sexual abuse that was going on in the wrestling program at OSU while he was a coach there. At least half a dozen wrestlers have said that they told Jordan about it and he did nothing to stop it. He denies knowing anything about it, just likes he denies knowing anything about the Jan. 6th riots. A large part of the reason he gets re-elected is because he was a high school wrestling champion in his district and he’s still living off of that glory. I think if his constituents would take the time to explore his record, they would feel differently. Or, maybe not. He’s in a really red district. I respect your opinion . I believe him to be an honest man with a desire to do good for his country. Disagree between us but that's what America is about. God Bless this. Country now more than ever.

I think this may actually be a good thing. They're in a race to the bottom, the more extreme and ridiculous they get the more people they alienate. They already hit a point in the last election where they're too damned batshit wingnut Qonspiracy minded and angry about things like M&M's or Bud Light to win a national election. They're marginalizing themselves well past the point of being relevant aside from a complicit media signal boosting every jackass hot take out of the worst of them. The only political impact they have left is rural inbred districts full of people that dropped out of middle school and straight up domestic terrorists. That sucks for sure but they're on borrowed time as it is, pretty much were an afterthought already until a black president broke a lot of people's brains. Still, this is some last gasp of white supremacy growing pains. It may get worse before it gets better but their time is running short. That's why they're all so damned mad at the world.

claptonrocks Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Once again the GOP fails to elect a speaker. Very disappointed they can't get this done... Bidens trip to the middle east was a clusterfuck as well. He's great at reading teleprompters regarding Israel but until he gets his spineless ass to denounce Iran as the culprit, the terrorists will continue to terrorize anyone in their way to destroy Western civilization. He fears Iran and they know it. The US should fear Noone ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Gym Jordan lost votes. He won't be speaker, you can't lose votes and expect that it's going to go your way. Good on the moderates. Also it's pretty on brand for the MAGA wing to pull shit like this.... Jim Jordan’s allies tried strong-arming his GOP critics. It backfired. - POLITICO “Jim’s been nice, one-on-one, but his broader team has been playing hardball,” Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) told POLITICO about Jordan’s network of supporters, adding that he’s been getting calls from party chairs back in Nebraska. He added that his wife even received multiple anonymous emails and texts saying: “your husband better support Jim Jordan.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There hasn't been any evidence that Hezbollah or Iran has done anything here nor funded it. It's pretty important that we get that right and not just go assuming otherwise. If we don't we might end up fighting with Iraq, when they had nothing to do with 9/11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, who said anything about fearing anyone, sounds like you are projecting. You remind me of my childhood friend who is a conservative Republican. He has this irrational fear that Muslim countries are going to kill Americans en mass and he's using this as justification to blindly support anything that Israel does, including bombing hospitals, escape routes, and killing innocent children. His fears are not based on any real evidence, America has never been close to being invaded or taken over by anyone in the last 200 years and definitely not by any Muslim country halfway across the world without the means to do so...it's a silly irrational fear that gets feed by propaganda and hate. As for the Republicans, all I can do is laugh, it's a circus and the biggest clown is running the show... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's all about morals when it comes to someone else, but when it's happening in your own backyard not so much. In theory, the Republican party is great, they stand for family values, financial responsibility, free markets, etc...but in actuality, they are a bunch of hypocrites that don't come close to anything that they say they are about..which is why Trump has been able to high jack the party and they lost an election to Joe Biden, a complete tool.
