Dude ought not to take anyone for granted. He had this brought home today when a question was answered in a way he totally did not expect. It’s about damn time Jim was taken down a notch. He’s so self-righteous it’s disgusting. The man’s attitude was adjusted and deservedly so. From Raw Story:
A Washington, D.C. official’s snarky retort to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) at a House hearing Thursday left the MAGA lawmaker fumbling for a response. Phil Mendelson, chairman of the Council of the District of Columbia, was testifying on Thursday before the House Oversight Committee, along with D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Attorney General Brian Schwalb. Their testimony focused on oversight of the city, particularly as it relates to crime and public safety amid the Trump administration’s federalization of its law enforcement operations.
DC Officials did not need or want Trump’s “help”. They said so in no uncertain terms. But Trump brought in additional federal troops anyhow. All he did was wreck businesses. People didn’t want to come in and go somewhere with the streets crawling with feds. So they went elsewhere instead, and that’s a recipe for disaster. I wonder how many places went under because of him.
Mendelson and the other officials pushed back against President Donald Trump’s emergency declaration, calling it a “manufactured crime crisis” that undermines the city’s autonomy. Jordan, a staunch Trump ally, pressed Mendelson on his feelings about the troops. “Are you against having the national guard here, or do you think that’s been helpful to the citizens, to the families and the people who live in the D.C. area?” asked Jordan.
Jim Jordan did not like what he was going to be told. He didn’t take anything like people in the DC legislature being smart, you know, have a working brain. It certainly doesn’t seem like Jordan has much of a brain. He’s a narrow-minded holier-than-thou asshole. I can be blunt, after all. Are you ready for this?
Mendelson replied that the city officials feel that D.C.’s National Guard troops are a “very valuable and wonderful asset to the city.” He clarified that’s “different than having thousands of Guard troops stationed around the city when they are not trained in law enforcement,” and “many of them were looking kind of bored with what they’re doing.”
WHAM.
Jordan appeared to fumble after the retort. “My time is exp — I, uh, uh, yield back, Mr. Chairman,” Jordan said, struggling to find an appropriate response. The left-wing account Call to Activism flagged the clip, calling Mendelson’s response “calm but brutal” after Jordan “tried to act like Mr. tough guy.” “Jim Jordan’s reaction at the end is a must-see,” the account added. The account AnatolijUkraine added, “Boom. Phil Mendelson just torched Jim Jordan in his own circus hearing. Jordan strutted in like a tough guy.”
Well, he’s not so tough now, is he? I wonder if he’ll know better than to assume again. Probably not. But we know he got taken down a peg or three that day. So… it’s worth it. Who could we hope would get verbally taken down next? Ideas, just for fun?
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that of all of the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thanks. Ursula
If a man ever deserved a beating…by the Ohio State wrestlers who were raped and assaulted by his locker buddy. They told coach jordan…and he did NOTHING BUT LIE. Would love to see him tarred and feathered by his victims. Hey Jimbo…You ignored a legal order to testify about all those calls between traitors, you and Rump, so everyone should tell You to stick it up your ass. After all, you were fine being the creep in Pulp Fiction getting off watching his buddy rape Mr. Wallace, and boys having a penis jammed up theirs. Phuck you punk…figuratively of course. You slime mold. Sorry slime molds.
Which is why he should ALWAYS be referred to as ‘Gym’ Jordan, in recognition of the only thing he’ll ever be remembered for, his cover-up of rape in a gymnasium.
“Jacket-off” Jim will never learn.
He’ll be right up there next time, drawn to the cameras like a moth to a flame.
