We need some bomb-throwers on Gym Jordan's witch hunts

The GOP nonsense about Hunter Biden needs to be torpedoed by EVERY Democrat who should bring up Jordan's own complicity in sexual abuse of wrestlers at Ohio State when he was a coach there.

You wanna be an asshole and go after Hunter Biden in some kind of Kabuki theater manner to try to harm Joe Biden? Fine...but every single hearing should have at least one, if not all Democrats on the committee bringing up Jordan's sordid past in detail and tie the two together so tightly that the farce becomes known as Gym Jordan's Sexual Perversion Defense - a farcical attempt to avoid accountability for his own REAL crimes by smearing other people for imaginary crimes.

Enough is enough. Additional thoughts about Congressional investigations post-Trump:

1) Congressional subpoenas are to be 100% ignored in all cases, no matter how much they have standing.
2) No witnesses or people with real knowledge of ANYTHING should EVER appear before the Kabuki Theater.
3) Gym Jordan can go fuck himself.
4) The rest of the GOP circus can get themselves on tape being extremists, but those tape should IMMEDIATELY be cut into internet ads and targeted to each member's home district every time they speak.

Turn this weapon back on the GOP and learn the lessons of the Trump era - #1 above all? NEVER testify, never tell them anything and stall in courts until 2025, when this nightmare party fully implodes and the country decides how to govern responsibly and still respect opposing opinions and ideas. To get THERE, this GOP must become extinct or toothless to the point of irrelevance. The more they help with their own words and actions, the better.

I want humiliation and a pound of flesh from that gasbag fucker Jordan and his gang of asshole accomplices. If there was one among them who was not a hopeless ideologue, then MAYBE cooperation would bear fruit, but they are no part of any solution for this nation and the sooner they are hoisted on their own petards, the better.

(Sorry for the aggressive agitation...I am channeling my inner-Joffery from GOT...if I could make them gaze upon the severed head of their leader in place of Ned Stark, I might be tempted to sink that low...I need to spend some time in meditation to sate this acidic rage that man brings out of me...)

They will use the excuse that certain members were rejected from the J6 committee as precedent to say they get to decide who is on it.

Of course it makes no sense but they will.

I only wish that we would then ignore subpoenas since that is the precedent now. But I am sure we won't because...you know...rule of law and all those quaint notions.

I get the idea that they will try to stack the decks, but they won't get help from the Democrats (hopefully)...the lesson is when one-side is seen as partisan, do not take away that perception on your own. The J6 committee was largely the fault of the GOP from the jump, so I pray there is no way they can get the same outcomes now.

It's called the Congressional Integrity Committee. Its purpose is to swiftly respond to MAGA BS with facts and exposure of MAGA people, their purpose, and their money backers.

This DU thread explains it.

There was no chain of custody on the old laptop that conveniently ended up in Giuliani's hands during his Dad's run for President. Someone even stole Biden's daughter's diary looking for dirt.

Is Jordan or Gaetz really going to talk about accusations of a sexual nature given their past histories?

Let them waste some time with prepared sound bites for their rabid base and FoxNews on investigations that go absolutely nowhere. American voters will tire of it.

Republicans would have gone batshit crazy had Jr. or even Ivanka had been subpoenaed before any Democratic lead committee. They were not subjects of any investigations. But Ivanka and Jared WERE part of the TDFG Administration in connection to January 6th and what they knew. They were appropriately subpoenaed to testify.

Hunter Biden is NOT an elected official, but a Private Citizen. This will not bode well for the Republicans even if they allege Joe knew anything or profited from any business dealings. Because the truth is, Joe did not.

Was, and continues to be, a private citizen. Yes, he may have benefitted from having a famous last name. That's not a crime. He has never been a part of the government. He has no access to secret documents. Unlike, say Javanka, who made millions off of their time in the WH.
