Title--Jim Jordan was imposed on us for egregiously partisan reasons. Now hes afflicting the nation.
Snip-- "Of all the regions in all the states in all the country, Jim Jordan got dragged into ours. There was no good reason to punish Greater Cleveland by making the person whos now the second most contemptible human being in the entire U.S. government part of the regions delegation to Congress. Worse yet, the betrayal was bipartisan.
When Ohios political and legislative leaders were drawing new congressional boundaries prior to the 2012 election, Democrats wanted a district that would protect U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge. Republicans wanted districts that would elect the maximum number of GOP congressmen. And some people from both parties wanted a district that would likely lead to the defeat of longtime Cleveland Rep. Dennis Kucinich."
Snip--" And now its fitting that Republicans have given this seven-term sycophant a starring role in the televised House Intelligence Committee impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump. The assignment comes as Jordan is being credibly accused by some of knowingly turning a blind eye to sexual abuse by a team doctor when Jordan was an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University from 1987 to 1994."
Snip--" That makes Jordan an ideal candidate to lead the defense of a malignant president who has bragged about physically abusing women and who has been accused by two dozen women of sexual assault or misconduct.
Jordan was appointed to the Intelligence Committee the same day, Nov. 8, that NBC reported on a lawsuit filed early this month in which a former wrestling referee alleges Strauss masturbated in front of him in the shower following an OSU wrestling match in 1994."

(35,002 posts)at how many really ignorant and brainwashed commenters wrote in to defend this asshole, even speculating that his performance in these hearings will make him a Presidential contender for 2024! It's like up is down and black is white with these cretins.
