(12,440 posts)Perfectly peaceful and nice part of the world now that it broke up into 6 countries.
Wish they could have skipped the Civil War part.
We're headed the same direction (minus the war part) and it's for the better.

(5,644 posts)The only reason Gym Jordan get away with his political terrorism is because he knows his party has a structural advantage which allows extremists like him to do horrible things and get away with it.

(9,478 posts)To lay it on Gym (Jim) Jordan. Being an asshole to a Republican is much better if you can do it calmly.
I hate to say it, but Gym Jordan got what he wanted here.

(11,302 posts)can he order a member removed? Censured? Remove privilege?
(and is it fair to point out that both Ds and Rs are riding right over his declaration in this clip?)
Edit: I see that your post does recognize the 'both sides' abuse. Thanks.
