Jack Smith prosecuted men guilty of war crimes and related atrocities at the Hague. Jim Jordan couldn’t even keep his colleagues from molesting the boys in their care at Ohio State. Just sayin’.
As far as I know, Jordan wasn't directly implicated in any of those molestation charges, only of being callously indifferent to the victims' please. But....
Look up Sascha Riley for what he has to say about both Jordan & Trump (also Andy Biggs, who was involved in January 6th, too).
AI in action. Spell check is the most common initial AI program out there. Granted, getting English spelling right is hard in part because it's not consistent across continents, & because our language sucks in words from multiple other language families. But what the average person can relate to is what autocorrupt has done to them. And we're getting water losses, higher energy costs, & (for those living near data centers) monstrous amounts of noise for ... this?
Failure to act is a form of participation and I seriously doubt, Gym is not a direct participant. Why not take the testimony of several athletes, and act upon (investigate) them, having power to do so or hand the matter over to someone who will?
One of the ways in which I am coping with the actions of these fascist thugs is by giving thanks daily that they're so woefully stupid. It's a good reminder that if we all vote in every electoral cycle and gain, build, and keep majorities, we'll be able to get a lot of legislation passed to protect our democracy, to plug the holes they manipulated and exploited. Because if someone of Smith's intellectual depth decided to attempt this sort of fascist coup in the future, we'll have laws on the books to prevent him doing so. Thank all of the old and new gods that this group is dumb, shoddy, foolish, and inept.
I hope you meant ‘if someone of Jordan’s intellectual depth tried to attempt this sort of fascist coup in the future …’
It’s true that Jack Smith has intellectual depth & jim Jordan doesn’t, but it’s disturbing to see a phrase in which it is posited that Jack Smith could be capable of doing something as terrible as attempting a fascist coup … It hurts to see that phrase with Jack Smith’s name in it!
No, I meant if someone on the Right, of Jack Smith's intelligence were to try this, we'd be in trouble, hence the need to fortify our laws in advance. Jordan, DT, Solomon, et al, are idiots. Should there arise a person who possesses Smith's intelligence but lacks his morals and ethics, we'd be in far worse trouble than the deep crap we're in right now. I did not once suggest that Smith would attempt anything like this, and
It just points to how frustrated we are with all this garbage. A waste of taxpayer money, a waste of a VERY few good people's time. I want them to implode NOT us!
Thnx • True that they’re idiots, and that enormous damage has been done even given their idiocy - with their Big Boss, as the once-Sec of State called him, a ‘f…… moron’.
However, nobody has actually stopped them! The courts are slow, with little enforcement power, and the Republicans in Congress, with only a smidgeon of an exception here & there, give the ‘idiots’ carte blanche. ( Blanche!!!)
MA Rep. Jim McGovern (D) recently gave a good rundown of what Republicans say and do.
Adding ‘on the Right’ plus ‘but lacks his morals and ethics’ could be seen as clarification, helping those readers who might have mistaken your subtlety for ambiguity.
Appalling that subtlety is lost on so many. I didn't intend to be, but I'm afraid I learned to think and write before the world ceded thinking and composition to AI prompts and bullet points.
Their problem is the product of technology reading. I think they read too fast. I’m not an expert but I know it’s something like “ skimming” where you read faster and lighter , gathering what’s important first. You are also supposed to read things more in depth for clarity and study if it’s something of gravity. They also ( not necessarily these commenters) have trouble with punctuation and commonly used phrasing. That makes people miss the actual meanings of writings. So they probably just read it too fast and used their raw, emotional reaction when posting. I agree with you. Earth would be toast if someone who was actually smart tried a hostile takeover. Fortunately, intelligence actually gives you the ability to understand you must follow protocol, laws or have the ability to be empathetic.
It seems you like to make your point at the end: lest I appear to lack empathy, I assure you that's not the case. I'm frustrated, plain-spoken, and I have had done with the purity tests and apathy of the people who have put us here (and I'm as angry at them as I am at MAGA), but I don't lack empathy. It is critical to society. It is not only or exclusively found in people who possess intelligence, and is too often lacking in fact, but it can and should exist in all of us. It must be taught, however, not unlike reading comprehension and composition. All are fundamental components of our beings, but must be guided; it breaks my heart to watch generations younger than I have the joy of the language and its used robbed from them via indifferent education and from-birth screen exposure. I don't think it's an overstatement to suggest that a concomitant failure in education, critical thinking, and the rise of smartphone ubiquity have put us in this terribly dangerous place.
When graduate schools used critical thinking, they had a common frame of reference. When public K-12 schools adopted the term, I don't think it was well-defined. The evangelicals were moving to push their form of thought speak, education, and religion on the rest of us even in the late 1960s and 1970s. My Renaissance and Reformation professor warned us in 1974. He was so right.
I was saying the same thing. I was not excoriating your view. I was agreeing and attributed their lack of grabbing your subtlety ( I thought it was clear) to just glossing your post. I meant no disrespect towards you or them. It was just an explanation.
All Losers Bobbleheads and Traitors in our government now Vote BLUE from sea to shining sea and Rise UP against ICE DHS Hegseth Miller Netanyahu Trump and his administration all Stuff
His name fits him though. He's always bringing trumped up charges against people. The French verb equivalent "tromper" means to trick, trump or deceive.
I'm in Ohio, but not his district. I find it incredible that people keep voting for him. But then I have fam that would vote for him (AND Chump) just because he is an R. They don't take the time to research candidates, they just vote the Chump party. It's frustrating.
Jim Jordan needs to pay for this frivolous lie. And he should be brought up on charges for disregarding a federal supena he never showed up for. The entire GOP is a joke. They'll do anything for money 💰.
We can all enjoy a bibelot of satisfaction that Gym Jordan has been looking over his shoulder for years and that he will become increasingly fearful when the Democrats sweep the mid terms and the accountability for their mobster behavior ratchets up.
I’m a retired career prosecutor and pretty savvy when it comes to discerning which pipe-swinging attorneys have the ability to lay out flat an adversary. Jack Smith, a legal apex predator, is at the absolute top of my list. Good luck, Gym Jordan.
I will bet money that Jim Jordan’s 10 minute call on J6 to Trump is on Jack Smith’s radar and Jordan himself could subpoenaed if this case ever goes to trial.
I've never been to court, but I did work for a company that sent new employees to (very) basic legal training, and I'm an immigrant who spent 15 years dealing with the immigration authorities (off and on). The one thing I know when dealing with authorities is:
«Alwats tell the truth, and never answer a question that isn't asked»
If Jordan and others didn’t participate in planning the insurrection, why are they SCARED to the point of using extremes to (unsuccessfully) intimidate Jack Smith? Because they are GUILTY.
If you're coming for a legal eagle like Jack Smith, don't send an utter fool like Jordan.
Going to be an epic fail😁
Exactly!!! Those Republican clowns poke the wrong bear, ladies and gentlemen.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👍🏼
But Jordan is the best Republicans have.
That's an extremely low bar, if that's the case.
Best doesn’t mean any good.
That's a very scary thought. Perhaps they should just sit down and shut up!
🤣
Now THAT'S a scary thought...for THEM! Bet he can't even do the "limbo"!!
😂
And slime blob
Jordan can run-at-the-mouth (as usual) but he cannot hide from the truth about the Repugnants’ culpability.
Who never passed the bar.
Seems as though he is currying favor with Trump!🤥
Can’t pass the bar, so republicans make him chairman of the committee!! Can’t make this shit up, because it’s the pedo, lying 🤥 crowd!
Gym Jordan wouldn’t stand a chance!
No one else would have done it
Republicans arrogance on display
Jordan went to law school but never passed a bar exam. Somehow that made him the best candidate for Chairing the House Judiciary Committee.
au contraire, please do! 😂😂😂
Gym Jordan barely made it through a third rate law school. Smith can run rings around him in a sack race.
And I believe he didn’t pass the bar!
He didn’t even sit for it.
He has never taken or passed the bar exam.
Really, pathetic!
Good point. Gym should be sacked.
Yes, and blindfolded!
He's an actual lawyer?
He attended law school but did not sit for the bar exam. Therefore, no.
Well, he's arrogant enough.
No… couldn’t pass he Barr
And he was a college gym teacher fired for sexual harassment I think, yes?
around around around …
Jordan is a horrible person. You should step down immediately.
Jack Smith prosecuted men guilty of war crimes and related atrocities at the Hague. Jim Jordan couldn’t even keep his colleagues from molesting the boys in their care at Ohio State. Just sayin’.
He blamed his colleagues? Yeah right.
As far as I know, Jordan wasn't directly implicated in any of those molestation charges, only of being callously indifferent to the victims' please. But....
Look up Sascha Riley for what he has to say about both Jordan & Trump (also Andy Biggs, who was involved in January 6th, too).
"pleas" not "please". [I hate when my autocorrupt surreptitiously alters my words.]

Autocorrect is truth. I've checked my typing before sending, and text still changed en route. Disgusting.
Spell check is a fascist!
Haha! At least, you spelled “fascist” right. Half the time I see it spelled “facist”.
I was educated in Illinois!
He's a slick willy!
Failure to act is a form of participation and I seriously doubt, Gym is not a direct participant. Why not take the testimony of several athletes, and act upon (investigate) them, having power to do so or hand the matter over to someone who will?
Depending on the state, statute of limitations may have run out. One thing states can do is end the limitation and permit civil lawsuits.
“they” were molesting…
Is Jordan in the Epstein FILES??
He’s a pos, but I don’t think he was ever rich enough to have been invited to the Pedo Palace.
Jordan is ignorant and lazy and arrogant. It is not a winning combination.
And a definite pedo protector.
Oh for sure!!!
But it is a whining combination.
He's a nasty man.
There are a lot of them in Congress!
Just like his hero "President"!!🤪
A spoiled rich kid.

I'm not sure how my comment was ambiguous.
Nicole: ok this explanation makes more sense, thank you for clarifying. I figured you weren't bashing Jack, but I couldn't get your meaning.
DeSantis' name has come up before in this context. He is also an attorney.
MLC: That's how I interpreted Nicole's post, too. 🤷🏼♀️
It just points to how frustrated we are with all this garbage. A waste of taxpayer money, a waste of a VERY few good people's time. I want them to implode NOT us!
Jack Smith for president!💡
How about Attorney General?
In a MINUTE! Good 💡
Could you just imagine how many cans of worms he would open! OMG! There'd be dancing in the streets!

Only a complete idiot would take on Jack Smith.
I can’t wait until the actual criminals get held accountable.
Here’s looking at judge Eileen Cannon, the 6 republicans on the illegitimate US supreme court, the tRump administration, tRump, and the republicans. 👀
Like the way you spell Trump with a lowercase t. I might just adopt that. Thanks
It puts the emphasis on the word “rump”, because he is a complete ass.
I want people to know who I am referring to, without giving him any positive credit.
You are welcome to use it.
I won't use his name, ever, expletives work and no one wonders who😉
🍊 Fat Boi
🍊💩
His name fits him though. He's always bringing trumped up charges against people. The French verb equivalent "tromper" means to trick, trump or deceive.
We could just refer to him as tRomp from now on! I like it,!!!
tRump.
I won't even put 45 seconds on the microwave anymore.
I hear you, we're saving ourselves for the good part!
I never capitalize anything to do with the POS..
I capitalize the R in rump, so it is clear I am talking about a complete ass.
Fascinating tidbit: His name is spelled with a small T in the Bible!
In what context? Is it to trump someone, which can mean to cheat, trick or deceive someone?
I'm NO EXPERT - You really should look it up. Quick way: Find Strong's Concordance online & search for trump. (It's in the Book of Revelation.)
I have no interest in looking up anything in a book of lies.
It would serve you well to read it. It is what a lot of people believe so it would help to understand their motivations better.
Keep your friends close & your enemies closer ❤️ If the Bible is your enemy you should know more about it
?
I call him dumfpty shortpants, or schitzenpants. Or fdjt. Or that other.
Those are all good choices. 😁
Prediction, they will all go to Argentina on Trumps Qatar’s plane b4 the new bods take over next January, saving Americans a load of debt
That Qatari jet has cost US taxpayers 1 billion so far.
We need to confiscate the tRump crime family’s assets.
Jordan is a political gutter rat. He is a man of no substance or moral character. Perfect fit for the GOP.
Agree 100%. And yet he will win in November in the county in which I live with 60-70% of the vote, as always.
And sadly, he’s a “perfect fit” for the majority of those who vote in this county.
That is sad.
UGH! Haven’t they learned yet??
I'm in Ohio, but not his district. I find it incredible that people keep voting for him. But then I have fam that would vote for him (AND Chump) just because he is an R. They don't take the time to research candidates, they just vote the Chump party. It's frustrating.
That's too generous.
The ‘legal vacuity’ of Jordan’s committee work…. Well phrased sir! Well phrased😻
Jim Jordan needs to pay for this frivolous lie. And he should be brought up on charges for disregarding a federal supena he never showed up for. The entire GOP is a joke. They'll do anything for money 💰.
And to stay in power, by any means necessary.
Jim Jordan personally participated in the subversive and illegal plot to overturn the 2020 election and overthrow the lawful government of the US
Doesn’t that have severe penalties?
We can all enjoy a bibelot of satisfaction that Gym Jordan has been looking over his shoulder for years and that he will become increasingly fearful when the Democrats sweep the mid terms and the accountability for their mobster behavior ratchets up.
I’ll celebrate victory when it’s truly accomplished.
In the meantime, vigilance and actions rule the day.
One can only hope !
It is supposed to but in the land of tRUMP everything is corrupted!
I’m a retired career prosecutor and pretty savvy when it comes to discerning which pipe-swinging attorneys have the ability to lay out flat an adversary. Jack Smith, a legal apex predator, is at the absolute top of my list. Good luck, Gym Jordan.
"apex predator" Perfect description of the legal beast that is Jack Smith!
I will bet money that Jim Jordan’s 10 minute call on J6 to Trump is on Jack Smith’s radar and Jordan himself could subpoenaed if this case ever goes to trial.
I've never been to court, but I did work for a company that sent new employees to (very) basic legal training, and I'm an immigrant who spent 15 years dealing with the immigration authorities (off and on). The one thing I know when dealing with authorities is:

I'm guessing they teach that to lawyers too.
If Jordan and others didn’t participate in planning the insurrection, why are they SCARED to the point of using extremes to (unsuccessfully) intimidate Jack Smith? Because they are GUILTY.
They are ALL so worried about whether Jack Smith read their phone calls and texts. For sure they are guilty!
Jordon looked the other way when he knew kids were being raped!
rapped?? Birthday present?
Wombat: That's wrapped. Kids being rapped - knock, knock, knock. 😂
Kim - it's an easy fix. 1. proofread 2. edit typos
Don’t be an ass.
Typo alert:
“Raped”, not rapped.
You can use the 3 little dots after your name, to edit your posts. ❤️
And of course, jim jordan is famous for his own openness and honesty in all matters, isn't he?
