jordan must think that talking fast makes him look smart

[spanone]

it doesn't

[hibbing]

1. How many times can Biden be mentioned in two minutes?

[Wellstone ruled]

2. Gish Gallop.

[malaise]

8. This

What a shifty asshole

[Wellstone ruled]

24. Jock itch of the mouth

works for me. As a Trainer,we had a Salve for that.

[crickets]

11. +1

[11 Bravo]

14. I call it "doing the Conway".

[ooky]

37. Perfect. nt

[TheRealNorth]

33. I had to look that up

But you're exactly right. I didn't know there was a name for the tactic.

[maxsolomon]

34. It is an essential RW Media tactic.

Listen to any NPR interview with a GOP house member (usually at 20 minutes after the hour on Morning Edition). You'll hear every one of them do it. Mike Rogers did it this morning.

It's gaslighting as a science.

[TheRealNorth]

38. I think gaslighting is a little different

Trump's insistence that the released phone transcript with Zelensky was "perfect" is gas lighting. He is in essence trying to psych people out into believing the transcript exonerates him when it does the opposite.

I suppose a gish gallop could include gas lighting, but I don't think it's a necessary component. But to be honest, I never took a class in rhetoric.

[C_U_L8R]

3. Meth. It rots your brain.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

4. Him and Nunes should get married.

[walkingman]

5. When someone is nervous they talk fast - he is deathly afraid Trump will "thump" him!!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

6. SCREECH! SCREECHSCREECHSCREECH! SCREEEEECH!

That's what I hear from Gym Jacketoff Jordan.

[crickets]

16. This shouting of his must be a habit.

Schiff even made note before the session started that the mics are sensitive. Somebody didn't listen or doesn't care that he is strident, whiny and overly loud is not compelling or persuasive.

Wow, he is rude! His tone is so insulting and rude. It's just not how this should be done.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

21. he's playing to an audience of one

Naturally, he's jacketoff while playing to the one.

[rzemanfl]

7. WTF is with his hair? n/t

[hibbing]

12. poor combover n/t

[hibbing]

9. He's so anxious, the thinks he's got a gotcha giggity giggity n/t

[Wounded Bear]

10. Just trying to get all of his bullshit talking points into his time...

[TheRealNorth]

26. That's what I am thinking

He's trying to mindfuck the American Public. He's like a conspiracy theorists that goes off on so many tangents in a short amount of time that it can be difficult to know where to start to deconstruct the argument.

[H2O Man]

13. Recommended.

He is pathetic.

[backtoblue]

15. Oh mutha fucka!

[hibbing]

17. God, what a total ahole! I'm fuming!

[TheBlackAdder]

18. It's critical to slow their pace down, by making them repeat things. It throws them off their game.

.

Folks like that speak fast to move the other person into an area where they are uncomfortable and not thinking clearly.

The key is to slow them down, not feel pressured to speak faster, which is a natural response.


Make them repeat what they say, asking them to speak slower. If they still speak fast, make them repeat it again. They will only try that shit once or twice before they realize you aren't falling into their trap. Often, the one asking the questions will be the one thrown off, as they have to slow down.

.

[dhol82]

27. Totally agree.

It’s a good way to mindfuck the opposition.

[Pacifist Patriot]

19. He sounds completely unhinged.

[gademocrat7]

20. He is not an intelligent man.

[irisblue]

22. Never took the bar exam. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

His wiki--Jordan earned a master's degree in education from Ohio State University in Columbus and obtained a J.D. degree from Ohio's Capital University Law School[5] in 2001. He never took the bar examination.[6]

[Jim__]

23. Do people on the republican side believe that Jordan is actually making a point?

His fast talking and confusing sentences probably work on people who are not used to speaking in public. They didn't confuse or flabbergast Ambassador Taylor. He never came close to making a point.

[dchill]

29. They stopped caring about "the point" long ago...

They're just trying to avoid Trumpspew.

[NurseJackie]

25. They're looking for a gotcha moment...

... but they're not going to find it.

[SonofDonald]

28. Don't they drug test these nuts?

I think someone's been into the sudafed drawer this morning

Just spraying lip music, and bs theory's at 100 mph

How is this person where he is?

[Cracklin Charlie]

30. He was attempting a stunt.

When reading it quickly, it sounded confusing. Did he slow down and ask more clearly? No, he wanted it to sound confusing.

These guys got nuthin’. Less than nuthin’.

Hit the showers, Gym, you’re done. Oh, wait...

[Gothmog]

31. Remember that Jordan is too stupid to pass the bar exam

This idiot went to law school but is not a member of the bar

[Blue Owl]

32. The words Dumb Fuck come to mind

n/t

[Grammy23]

35. If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance --

You baffle ‘em with bull sh*t.

Or at least that’s the way I heard it. 🤷‍♀️

[smirkymonkey]

36. Well, it's not working.

It just makes him look like a meth head who is very, very scared.

[lame54]

39. he did sell a few cows though

[spanone]

40. I'LL SAY IT AGAIN.
