“In light of the serious consequences of your actions, we expect that you will testify about what plainly appears to be a politically motivated prosecutorial decision,” Jordan wrote in a letter

Bragg: Uh, gymmy, you’re supposed to do this after I indict. Couldn’t you hold your wee for another day or two?

Fapping with a gavel on national television is not a good look.

Ignore the subpoena just as Jordan did.

It’s not even a subpoena. It’s a demand he testify before gymmyjoke’s star chamber.

Jim Jordan is like the new puppy that repetitively jumps up on you and then pees on your leg. As far as I am concerned, Jordan can demand with one hand and do with the other what he wishes. He doesn’t even know the charges yet.

A totally legitimate issue for Congressional oversight - compared to, for instance, a sitting President’s tax returns and looking into foreign entanglements and conflicts of interest, and the efficacy of required IRS audits that sometimes didn’t take place, as well as a myriad of other things.

With all due respect, Congressman Jordan, and since you’re not due any respect at all…go fuck yourself.

If I were Bragg, I would reply as follows:

Dear Mr. Jordan,

With respect to your demand, no thank you. Stay in your own lane.

All the best,
Alvin Bragg

To me this shows how broken is the Republican Party.

I mean one moment they are trying to find away to dump Trump and the next, after without any evidence to support him, Trump claims he is about to be indicted and the entire Party has to jump to his defense and accuse Biden of using his office, like what Trump tried to do to Biden, to go after their nominee in the next election.

Or to put another way, really what all this says is that Trump owns (in current tense) the Republican Party more securely than he owns anything with his name on it.

I thought Congress was elected to do the works of the people. Why are they choosing to do the work of tfg?

Do you suppose that all of this GOP insanity would come to an end if TFG suddenly hopped a one-way plane to Vlad Putinland? He’s an oligarch, he’d fit right in there.

Surely Gym is outraged by this and will call for an investigation…

Trump got 11 million more votes in 2020 than any previous Republican presidential candidate, and they understand that the party is well and truly and permanently fucked in future elections without those extra voters.

Gym Jordan, Ladies and Germs.

This idiot is McCarthy’s frontline defense in Congress against the “Deep State”, “Woke Whatever”, “Owning the Libs”, “Exposing Hunter Biden’s Hard Drive”, “Critical Race Theory”, “Antifa” “Baby-killers” “Blurp” “Bleep”, “______”.

Did I get all those GQP gibberish buzzwords and propaganda about right? Maybe we should ask Frank Luntz. I see MSNBC has him on their cable channel now. Is that to help him rehabilitate his fascist leanings and make him more acceptable or do they just like the ratings they think he’ll provide them? I really thought Luntz was some kind of Goebbels for the 21st century for the longest time with his political word-smithing for white people and phony staged focus groups…again, for white people. Death taxes and all that. Killing grandma with Obamacare. Weren’t all those his ways to game the system for the GOP? Looking back…if only they had stuck to just that. Such Sickos. You can see the progression in all their pathological political madness towards authoritarianism. How all of them contributed to it for the last 25 years. We are so screwed.

After all these many years, one would think that Jim Jordan would have learned the folly and consequences of his penchant for jock strap snapping…

Wait for it. Once Grump gets a few convictions under his belt, he’ll be gassing up the jet.
