Wouldn’t it be interesting if they put that much energy into doing their jobs?

Instead of wasting hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on BS?

Millions $$$$

They're probably under orders from the tangerine turd not to do their jobs but to play these ridiculous tit for tat bullshit revenge games. It appears that the real Speaker of the House is the felonious GOP frontrunner and not the spineless puppet who could care less about anything else but holding on to that gavel.

That and they can slow the process and blame the democrats. It works. Whenever I try to talk to any southern conservative about how bad the GOP is, even if they agree they say --yeah but the Dems can get nothing done. It is maddening!

They think thie IS their job. Stay in power at all costs so we can give our friends tax breaks.

Yup, they think their job is to own the libs and stuff/line their pockets.

We will eventually hear that those emails ended up on Hillary’s server and disappeared into pizza basement hell. It would be amusing if there were emails and the “other name” was his code name though.

Oh God no! They know nothing about representation! It’s much safer for our national security for them to sit around a mind make shit up.

They've revealed the name of the National Archives informant. It's somebody named David Dennison. Who's that?

Expand full comment

Another crackpot with the wind telling them they're a ghost?

Expand full comment

I went to school (law enforcement academy) with a David Dennison back in 1980. He was a stone cold idiot and didn’t make it past the first two weeks.

Now, this could be him because he was well known to ‘spin a good yarn or two”! That man, if he opened his mouth and spine, it was a lie. Kind of sounds a lot like strawberry 🍓 headed 🤡!

Donald Trump "potentially" used a pseudonym to seek information from people he (DJT) stole from, abused, or had damaging evidence about himself. Oh, wait. No, he actually did that.

The United States House of Representatives, "the people's house", is currently held by the Republican Party. It includes members such as Boebert, Taylor Greene, Santos, Gaetz, Gosar, Biggs, Jordan, and other shining examples of American exceptionalism. And by that I mean exceptionally stupid.

And speaking of George Santos, or whoever he really is...I thought Speaker-in-Name-Only "My Kevin" said GS was going to be 'held accountable quickly' by his MAGA/GQP Congressional cohorts! Santos had different names to commit fraud (allegedly) and hid it for years (allegedly), and he lied to the voters of his district and got elected to Congress!

I pick different names in emails , as well as have different email addresses, so I don't get SPAMMED!!!!

Will we ever find out Gym Jordan’s role in the Jan 6 insurrection? I want to know what all these GOP motherfuckers were actually doing and saying after the election and during the attack on the capitol. There’s got to be a list of these conniving, lying, traitor-dolts who were involved and I, for one, want to know every possible detail. Meanwhile, more manufactured “look over here, look over there” BULLSHIT. There’s nothing that they can do to distract from their criminal cult leader boiling in hot water with all the world to see.

A good start is a look at those who requested pardons.

Expand full comment

I’m right there with you. That entire business on 1/6 was an inside job from start to finish. At least that’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.

Expand full comment

Inside which country?

Expand full comment

Inside the damn halls of Congress abetting trump and his buddies on stage with him and out in the audience.

I was just implying that Russia is the expert extraordinaire on how to flip a democracy into an autocracy. Putin had Trumps ear and vice versa.

Expand full comment

Well there’s that too. “Russia, if you’re listening......”. I’m still convinced that when Russia hacked into the DNC and RNC, they got enough info on a lot of people to blackmail them to Hell and back. This is where trump’s core support in Congress came from. In the meantime, so much damage to the entire system had been done before trump by McConnell that now all this filth has to do is stand back and watch things dissolve from the inside.

Gym J. is reeking consciousness of guilt--that siswhy he is trying to hamstring all the trials. The truth will eventually come out in spite of all his "gym"-nastics.

Expand full comment

You're right! If MG had hit the ground running and really meant what he said in his confirmation hearing about January 6th being a priority, I don't think we ever would have had a lot of this bunch in Congress. At that time, every day Americans were upset and wanted to know who did what and wanted them punished. To me, that was one of the worst outcomes of his foot-dragging.

When are the people of Ohio going to call Gym Jordan and ask, Hey Gymbo when are you going to do something for us? The amount of time and energy he wastes on this crap is astounding. But As much as I realize the Republicans have to do this because they have nothing else; no plans; no bills; no programs that benefit anyone; it's tiring as hell. And, it's working apparently. Otherwise how do you explain the number of people who think the economy is in the toilet and about to be flushed? How do you explain the low poll numbers for one of the most consequential Presidents in our lifetime? When will we just admit that Uncle Joe has been doing his job and quite well?

Expand full comment

As an Ohioan, we don't bother to call Gym because he's just going to do what he's going to do. We can't control him and no matter how many times we vote him out, he's still in because of gerrymandering. Welcome to my hell. Oh, and now we have J. D. F'ing Vance as a Senator 🙄😜😳🤬

I hear ya, sister! Biggs, Gosar, and the remnants of Kari Lake here! <Barf>

Time to complain about gerrymandering. We have to do it in Texas too. If it went to the SF, they would lose. Then do nothing, so we complain again.

Expand full comment

We've done more than complain. We've passed a resolution to fix it, but the Republicans won't and the Republican State supreme court won't make them. So we are right now trying again with a new resolution on 2024 ballot. Wish us luck

Explanation offered: American media is owned by conservatives and right wing billionaires. American media will NEVER report evidence showing the current administration is doing a great job for our nation. It is NOT in their interest to report the facts. Thus, we have “both sides” stenographers and zero journalists.

I really cannot see “them” as anything other than mostly undereducated buffoons that could care less about truth.

The scary part is that their deflection is working. Every single MAGAt thinks Biden is as corrupt as that lying, cheating, treasonous, Nazi-pandering, sociopathic con man. How can half the country be so fucking dumb? It’s beyond sickening!

Because they can’t tell a liar from an honest person. Their own agenda clouds their judgement.

Your description of Jim Jordan is spot on. He is beyond contempt. I hope I'm still around to see all of these useless human beings have their political careers and lives ruined because of their ridiculous whataboutism and tit-for-tat nonsense. Republicans are fascist. There is no pretending to even care what the American people want. They want the ability to tell you what you want and give it to you, whether you like it or not. Crazy times.

Funny how I’m only seeing this story in the tabloid press (NY Post, Daily Mail, Washington Examiner). Wake me up when there’s a legit story about this. 🙄

As if the National Archives employees have better things to do than educate these wingnuts about what they really do. I'm betting Mr Shouty Finger Pointer has never BEEN to the National Archives (many locations, btw). I conducted research at NARA in College Park. First, you have to apply. Then you make an appointment. You get an ID card. When you are finally allowed to enter the sacred space, you must show all your belongings and go through an Xray. On the way out, you have to show you have TAKEN NOTHING with you. If you make copies, it's on BLUE paper. And for God's sake, don't mishandle the documents. I was scolded twice for mishandling. So, yeah, I hope Mr Shouty Pointing Finger gets a nice lesson on archiving. :)

I heard President Biden slip when he was telling about something his father said to him. He was called "Joey". Yes, that’s right. The President’s alias was on TV so it’s true.

Originality has never been a strong point for these folks.

Is it Gym's goal to exhaust everyone without producing ANY beneficial results for his constituents or the country. He seems to be the coiled snake in the "Don't Tread on Me" flags; really? who would want to go near this shouty ill-bred, ill-mannered duck. Of all congressmen, he is the non-example for aspiring leaders.
