in the past. It's been a while but things have been violent before. I don't condone it but I see where it's going too and it's not a good place.

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.

I've endured enough of it in my life. This song comes to mind quite often these days...



Sade did a nice cover of it but I still like the original.

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.

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.

He seems to let them walk over him. Both sides. I know he has seniority, I just wish he had the right stuff.

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.

Wouldn't want us to devolve into making this expected behavior, but it is good to see definite
pushback from the Dem. side.

Should take their turn screaming at gym jordan.

Val was tough on him but I'd like to hear even tougher. Sick to death of this slimy screeching asshole.
