It saddens me that it was necessary for Dems to take steps to curtail Jordan from flinging feces

Don't get me wrong...I know exactly who and what this assclown is, and that's exactly why the Republicans changed the "seating assignments."

I'm not going to be able to watch this. I can't watch Republicans yelling "POINT OF ORDER!," even if their objections will be collected for votes at the end.

I can't watch Jordan, I can't watch Nunes. I can't watch.

I'll get whatever recaps I need from MSNBC and the news outlets on Twitter.

I can't watch Jordan squat, hold his hand under his ass, and throw what he's collected at our democracy.

Democrats, however, think they have fixed a few wrinkles governing the impeachment inquiry, which they believe will mitigate any impact of Jordan’s aggressive style. First, as they reviewed the Mueller hearing, Republicans overwhelmed Democrats with a bunch of procedural complaints and demanded votes at the outset, turning the opening into a spectacle.

Now, if Nunes and Jordan try that Wednesday, those points of order will be piled up and voted on at the end of the hearing, allowing the witnesses to get started sooner.

Also, the first 90 minutes of the hearing are given over to Schiff and then Nunes, equally divided, for questions, without interruption, rather than just the five-minute rounds that other committees use. This will give Schiff time to draw out Taylor and his predecessor, Marie Yovanovitch, who was ousted from Kyiv after complaints from Trump and Giuliani.

Also, Schiff’s counsel will be allowed to ask questions at the front end of the hearing, correcting a mistake from the Lewandowski hearing, when the Judiciary counsel was allowed to ask questions only at the end. That portion of the hearing revealed new facts from Lewandowski, but because it came at the end of a marathon session, it drew little notice.

Before he has the opportunity to be disruptive, the lawsuit by former OSU wrestlers MUST be fast-tracked. Jordan knew what was happening there are did nothing to protect those young men. I personally believe that he was not just an observer . . . .

...Nunes and Gaetz are dorks, but that's about it. Jordan's a bully who looks like he enjoys the hell out of it, which is probably he's in a mutual admiration society with Trump.

Works great for commercials, and what they have to say is about as interesting.
