Liz Cheney to Jim Jordan: 'You Fucking Did This' / President Trump and Rep. Jim Jordan spoke on ....

the phone for 10 minutes the morning of the Jan. 6 riot.

************

Said Cheney: “That fucking guy Jim Jordan. That son of a bitch.… While these maniacs are going through the
place, I’m standing in the aisle and he said, ‘We need to get the ladies away from the aisle. Let me help you.’
I smacked his hand away and told him, ‘Get away from me. You fucking did this.'”

Former President Trump and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) spoke on the phone for 10 minutes the morning of the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol in 2021, two sources told CNN.

The two sources reviewed call records the Jan. 6 House committee received from the National Archives last month.

Jordan has previously said he spoke to Trump on the day of the Capitol riot, but has been inconsistent about when the two talked or for how long.

"I talked to the president a number of times that day, but I don't remember the times," Jordan told CNN on Friday when questioned about the 10-minute call.

Jordan said he could “not recall” when the two specifically talked, but said he knows “I talked to him after we left off the floor.”

*******
Kick Gym out of Congress now and then lock him and TFG up. No wonder why TFG was working so hard to hide
the White House Records and Gym was working so hard to get onto the Jan. 6th committee and at the same time
avoiding giving any testimony.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has vetoed two Republican nominees to the panel set to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Citing "statements and actions" made by the pair — Reps. Jim Banks of Indiana and Jim Jordan of Ohio — Pelosi said she was rejecting their nominations "with respect for the integrity of the investigation."

"The unprecedented nature of January 6th demands this unprecedented decision," Pelosi said.

Tracking north and east. We are getting freezing rain now for another 3 hours and then about
10 to 14" of snow.



When the rain came I thought you'd leave
'Cause I knew how much you loved the sun
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
Through the darkest nights I've ever known
If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
Then I know I love ya

Oh, the snow fell without a break
Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years
I couldn't believe you kept a smile
Now I can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst
And I know I love ya

Coffee, butter biscuits, and red grapefruit and then out to spread some ice melt.

Adam Kinzinger calls Josh Hawley 'one of the worst human beings' and a 'con artist'

Adam Kinzinger calls Josh Hawley 'one of the worst human beings' and a 'con artist' after the senator urges Biden to block Ukraine from joining NATO

Can you imagine what would have happened in the 40s (Cold War & China), 50s (McCarthy & Korea), 60s (Vietnam & Cold War), 70s (Russia & Afghanistan) 80s (Mr. Gorbachev, Tear down this wall) & the 90s if a US Senator had made pro USSR/Russian comments?

Putin owns a large hunk of the GOP & Fox News.

**********

Adam Kinzinger renewed his criticism of Josh Hawley, this time over how the US should handle the Russian-Ukraine
crisis." I hate to be so personal, but Hawley is one of the worst human beings," Kinzinger wrote on Twitter.
Hawley urged Biden to abandon any support for Ukraine joining NATO.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger blasted Sen. Josh Hawley on Wednesday after the senator criticized President Joe Biden for ordering troops to Europe as Russia ramps up its preparations for a potential new invasion of Ukraine, while calling on the White House to block Ukraine from joining the NATO alliance.

"I hate to be so personal, but Hawley is one of the worst human beings, and a self egrandizing [sic] con artist," Kinzinger wrote on Twitter. "When Trump goes down I certainly hope this evil will be laid [sic] in the open for all to see, and be ashamed of."
