“Alex is a top 1 percent military officer and the best Army officer I have worked with in my 15 years of government service,” he read. “He is brilliant, unflappable, and exercises excellent judgment.”

And is clearly well prepared!

And with that, Jordan, who had been specially switched to the committee because Republicans thought he’d be so effective at landing blows, had used up his time. was sent to the showers.

I really wanted Vindman to say “Gym, I have worked for my country, I was shot in Iraq, served in combat, You worked to cover up a sex offender at Ohio State, thought that masterbation in the shower was just perfectly fine stuff, now are covering up for a sex abuser and lier, I am not going to take any shit from someone with your lack of morals.”

Alas, probably would not have been a good idea. Perhaps Williams can say it. :slight_smile:

Backwards, I think.

Also: I think it depends on what he’s trying to grasp, and whether the venue is The OSU locker room and showers.

Although it would “rise” to the level of the Mentally-Deficient-Toddler-in-Chief, I think it would be good humor if Lt. Col. Vindman said “If I want any shit out of you, I’ll squeeze your head, you dumbfuck sex-offender apologist.”

Hilarity would ensue.

Jim Jordan can be a shameless clown for Trump all he wants. But he can’t have that and the credibility and stature to be listened to in this serious conversation.

I would have gone off on Gym.
Vindman wouldn’t.
That’s why his answers are devastating. One of the best ways to spot a fake like Jordan is to put them next to the real thing like Vindman.

Jordan suffers from the same malady as Mulvaney and Trump: deep stupidity

Something that I’ve noticed time after time is that tRUMP and his sycophants will reliably attack others based on their own character flaws. The projection from these fools is epic.

Jordan attacking anyone’s credibility holds no water.

Question for the GOP: Does reality exist?

GOPervs standard attacks on the person, not the merits. They never attack on the merits because they’re always wrong, or they’re on the wrong side.

Answer: Yes, and we make it to suit ourselves. We do it for the marks.
