Gym Jordan just said: you don't have a right to enter the Capitol and disrupt Congress.

[yellow dahlia]

Okay - you probably want the context. Pam Bondi is before the House Judiciary Committee, and Jordan was setting up his discussion/question with her about the First Amendment.

In framing the upcoming assertions regarding the First Amendment, he said to Bondi: "You have a right to protest in the streets, but you don't have a right to enter the Capitol and disrupt Congress. Am I right?"

His set up was to discuss the case against Don Lemon for following protestors into a church.

But is the irony totally lost on him?

[Moostache]

1. Ask him about the rape and abuse of wrestlers...

and when he fails to accurately and honestly answer those questions, tell him to sit down and shut up.

[Norrrm]

9. If you want Gym Jordan to shut up, tell him some teen age boys are being molested.

[yellow dahlia]

12. A reporter should ask him: Gym, is it difficult for you hold hearings about cover ups of sexual crimes,

given that you covered up sexual crimes yourself?

[UpInArms]

2. It's so hard for jacketoff jim

Logic just escapes him and all he is left with is irony

Irony is dead

Long live irony

[yellow dahlia]

14. ...the day that irony died - when the RepubliCONS started holding hearings on behalf of the grifter.

[Diamond_Dog]

3. The GOP line in regards to J6.....

[FoxNewsSucks]

28. Damn that's the truth!

[Whyisthisstillclose]

4. Irony is dead with a lot of America. You have to have a few brain cells and a memory for irony

to register. Similar to a sense of humor.....

[yellow dahlia]

15. Lack of irony and lack of self awareness go hand in hand with Gym,

and his RepubliCON "colleagues".

[JustAnotherGen]

5. I'm completely focused

On this arrogant snotty two words I can't post at DU and plotting how her life will go when she's sitting in Gitmo awaiting trial. Those roots aren't going to bleach themselves Pammy bfBondi.

[popsdenver]

7. Or better yet

sent to that infamously cruel prison in South America.......

[JustAnotherGen]

41. That's for 'undocumented immigrants'

Gitmo is for Terrorists!

[Volaris]

10. Oh, i very much hope shes enjoying herself, because when shes back here in a year,

Dem leadership is gonna kick her fuckin teeth in if she acts like this.

[yellow dahlia]

16. She is SO snotty - it evokes the worst descriptive words in my mind, also.

[sheshe2]

6. He really is the dimmest bulb on the tree.

[yellow dahlia]

17. Porch light isn't even on.

[BattleRow]

50. Bulb longtime ago went missing..and never replaced.

[DeeDeeNY]

8. He also stated that Bondi's non-answers to questions asked by Democrats was just fine

and that she could answer them any way she liked!!

[republianmushroom]

11. Damn Gym Jim did you tell that to those

pardoned Jan. 6th insurrectionist ?

[yellow dahlia]

19. Seriously! I want some podcasters to play that clip from today, over and over.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

13. Really?

THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

21. We actually believe our eyes, Gym.

[Ray Bruns]

[yellow dahlia]

23. Thank you for sharing. Where do I get one of those?

I love it!

22. Gym's "mind" is not filled with what we consider "thought."

55 Things You Need to Know About Jim Jordan

The famously combative congressmember is fighting an uphill battle to win a job that he has made a misery for previous occupants.

by Anna Canizales and Ian Ward
Politico, October 18, 2023

Excerpt...

10. The House Select Committee on Jan. 6 found that Jordan was “a significant player in President Trump’s efforts” to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

Snip...

29. In 2018, Ohio State University launched an independent investigation into allegations that the wrestling team’s former doctor, Richard Strauss, had sexually abused members of the team between the mid-1970s and late 1990s. Several former team members alleged that Jordan, an assistant coach from 1987-95, was aware of Strauss’ conduct and other instances of sexual abuse within the OSU athletic department yet failed to intervene.

Snip...

32. According to a report by the New York Times, Jordan contacted the elderly parents of Mark Coleman, a former OSU wrestler who had suggested that Jordan knew about Strauss’ behavior, in an effort to pressure Coleman into retracting his statement. “Unless he has Alzheimer’s, Jim Jordan knew,” Coleman told the Times.

Snip...

45. In October 2019, Jordan was among the two-dozen Republicans who stormed a secure facility inside the Capitol where investigators were deposing witnesses as part of the House’s impeachment investigation into Trump. The group was eventually dispersed by the House sergeant-at-arms.

Snip...

51. According to the Jan. 6 Committee report, Jordan led a conference call with Trump and other members of Congress on Jan. 2, 2021, to discuss strategies for delaying the certification of Electoral College votes in Congress on Jan. 6. The participants in the call also discussed posting on social media to encourage Trump supporters to “march to the Capitol.”

52. On Jan. 5, 2021, he texted Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to say that Vice President Mike Pence should “call out all the electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all.”

53. Jordan voted against certifying Biden’s victory on Jan. 6.

54. The Jan. 6 committee subpoenaed him on May 11, 2022, seeking information related to its investigation. Jordan did not comply with the subpoena and failed to appear for a scheduled deposition.

24. Thanks for sharing.

More from the Encyclopedia Berwyn.

[Kid Berwyn]

43. DU like it were a Truth Machine

Thus, I try to use my time to help the team understand who and what we're up against, as well as make fun of these fascist bastards. Like the other day, Trump's boss' body language in Big Beautiful Alaska when the two rode together in the Beast?



Hope this wasn't another of my repeats. Moreover, thank you for grokking.

[yellow dahlia]

25. Gym just asked Bondi: why did Jack Smith pay a secret source $20,000 for information?

The two of them shared a creepy moment where they smiled at each other like co-conspirators about to pounce on their prey.

She said I can't discuss these matters with a self congratulating grin. And Gym bounced in his seat as he said I hope you will look into who else he paid.

And it is weirder still because - Gym didn't even ask it in a formal part of the hearing. He asked it as he called a break for votes.

[FakeNoose]

30. It sounds like they're cooking up a new scam

[yellow dahlia]

31. When in doubt - deflect, deflect, deflect.

[DET]

37. "Gym bounced in his seat"

Yeah, he does that a lot.

[yellow dahlia]

42. They are not grown ups.

There are SO many reasons they shouldn't be in positions of power.

[Walleye]

26. He knows what he said, they do it on purpose.

They want to say they have the right to break the law and we don’t.

[live love laugh]

44. SO true.

[Grins]

27. Even if I'm "a tourist???" NM

[Historic NY]

29. Except when directed by the President of the United States

to disrupt an official proceeding to certify an election he lost.

[Initech]

32. These fucking clowns are disrupting Congress every day!

And then all they do is go whine to their Fox News mommies and daddies about it.

[yellow dahlia]

34. Exactly.

It's an Upside Down World where there are alternative facts and you can't believe your own eyes.

[Initech]

38. They're not doing this to protect the United States.

They're doing this to protect themselves. And also their real employers - Fox News and News Corporation. All of these clowns need to be rooted out and fired now.

[yellow dahlia]

40. Truth!

[tanyev]

33. A bunch of people got a presidential pardon for doing exactly that.

🤨

[twodogsbarking]

35. Where I grew up they would say "he hain't right in the head".

[Ford_Prefect]

36. Please explain Contempt of Congress to us Gym. Exactly how does that work???

[Warpy]

39. Conservatives are often massively stupid and irony is lost on all of them

because part of their mindset says they're right about everything so anything their side does is fine, while anyone who disagrees with them should be summarily executed.

[MadameButterfly]

49. Narcissists are not able to look at a situation from both sides

That's why Trump can constantly accuse people of what he is doing.
He's really too self-focussed to have a clue he's doing this.
Everyone under Trump is either attracted to him because they are already like that, or they are taking on Trump's personality disorder.
Yes, this is really a thing. Malignant Narcissism is contagious.

But it's still amazing when they hand us a quote that lays it all out there.

[dlk]

45. Jordan only believes in rights for those who agree with him

He supports a double standard.

[MayReasonRule]

46. Delusional Depraved Malevolence Defines The Fascist Gym He's Without Sentience Or Reason...

He knows only depravity.

It is his purpose and creed.

[yellow dahlia]

47. No moral compass and no respect.

[MayReasonRule]

55. Yep! As Far As A Fascist Thinks, He'd Consider That A Compliment, The Depravity Is Boundless By Design

His delusionally depraved malevolence IS his purpose and creed.

Lies define everything about Gym Jordan.

Everything.

Just like every other fascist that's a boot licking member of the ongoing criminal enterprise that is the GOP, he self owns so often as to make this meme damn near inaccurate...

[yellow dahlia]

57. Right, because those who who don't embrace the depravity are losers to them.

[Martin68]

48. Yes, there irony is totally lost on him. Understanding irony in this case takes both intelligence and self-reflection.

[dem4decades]

51. I don't think Jim Jordan is very smart.

[Blue Owl]

52. Oh, that's rich

[yellow dahlia]

53. I want someone to put together a loop with his words from today,

and the violence on Jan 6, and the grifter pardoning the Jan 6 criminals.

[aggiesal]

54. To answer your question ...

Gym Jordan forgot to take his Irony Deficient tablet this morning, so YES.

[yellow dahlia]

56. Irony Deficient - perfect!

Love it! Thank you for the chortle.

[aggiesal]

58. Feel free to use it. I tend to use it as a medical supplement. Using Tablet, Pill, Medication ... n/t

[Hassler]

59. Gym is missing a sure thing for himself

He should be selling used tires out of his van down by the river.

[Lulu KC]

60. What a card!

I emitted a whimper of a laugh over this one. That’s pretty good these days.
