Jim Jordan and the Ohio State Wrestlers

Please do not tie this issue to Trump. I read posts both ways saying ‘what do you expect from a Trump supporter’ or ‘you’re just trying to nail Trump.’ When you do this, the issue and crime get caught up in the whole miasma surrounding him.

I don’t care if it was Beto or whoever being accused with this level of information, I would say “OUT”. This is an issue of criminality, child abuse and decent human behavior.

Jim Jordan is Trump’s right hand. He can’t escape the ties in that direction. Don’t fall for it. Go after him with both barrels for letting those boys be left at the mercy of a monster. They wanna defend that? It will bring them and their credibility don.

this case gets lost in the political hooha when you make that explicit connection. Jordan will slide if enough people defend him because he backs Trump. And many will.

Make it about child molestation and the damage done to those kids. That is a radioactive charge that will sink him. Hipocrisy won’t.

The repugs remain in holiday mood and denial so far. I'm hoping for victims to do press conference interviews etc...

My point is that the other side will LOUDLY play up the politics and obfuscate the other in a cloud of lies.

Make this about the main issue of child molestation and abuse. That is a radioactive charge that will sink him. Hipocrisy won’t.

5. We also need to make sure nothing like this happens again

There are far too many stories recently coming to light about this sort of behavior going on for decades. Students need to be protected from these monsters (meaning these so-called doctors and trainers).

For crimes against young kids , and very close to trump and the gop. With trump and the gop everyone's a liar except themselves. trump supporters are going to tire of supporting these criminal corrupt predator types like trump and the gop , and realize they've been played and being laughed at.

9. Trump has a pattern of using the presidency to summarily smear and defame the multiple accusers

and defend the miscreants (such as himself)

“I don’t believe them at all. I believe him. Jim Jordan is one of the most outstanding people I’ve met since I’ve been in Washington. I believe him 100 percent. No question in my mind. I believe Jim Jordan 100 percent. He’s an outstanding man.”

12. The fact that Trump is using his power to dismiss the victims of abuse is sickening.

Just like he has with his own female victims, he is exerting his influence to shame younger, powerless victims into keeping quiet, which is abusive in itself.

Anytime Trump says someone is "an outstanding man" or that he "believes them 100 percent" you know he is lying and you know that person he is speaking of is a filthy, lying, corrupt POS. Guaranteed.
