Gym Jordan is in some serious trouble

[kpete]

Guess who is right behind Jim Jordan in this photo? A Trump enthusiast who attacked officers at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Samuel Lazar — a Trump fanatic who is currently incarcerated and facing felony charges because he sprayed a line of police officers with mace at the Capitol on Jan. 6 — standing behind Jim Jordan at a Stop the Steal rally.

**************************

What did Jim Jordan know about the insurrection and when did he know it?
Sidney Blumenthal

The questions that Jordan may be asked if he were to testify would cover his knowledge and involvement in the planning, organization and funding of the insurrection, as well as his participation in the concerted effort to prevent the constitutional certification of the presidential election and the propagation of Trump’s “big lie” that the election was a fraud and stolen.

I simply can't cut & paste - read the whole thing here:

1. Interesting and funny how he got a presidential medal of freedom

a week after that. Subpoena the jack(etless)ass!

[orwell]

4. Presidential Medal of Freedom...

...from TFG is like a subpoena.

They both mean there is some likelihood that a crime was committed.

[PatSeg]

12. That's a valid point

I can't think of anyone who deserves a subpoena more than Jordan.

[AZ8theist]

18. OH, I CAN!!!!

1. ANDY BIGGS
2. PAUL GOSAR
3. LAUREN HIGH SCHOLL DROP-OUT BOEBERT
4. MARGE TRAITOR GREENE
5. LOUIE GOHMERT

Jordan's a giant ass-wipe, but I think he's a little too clever to implicate himself.

The list above is occupied by actual NAZIs and blithering fucking IDIOTS who will convict themselves eventually.

[PatSeg]

21. Okay, you got me

It's just so hard to choose these days. So, so many. But Jordan is definitely on the list.

[AZ8theist]

50. You are 100% correct.

I just don't think he makes the top 5.

He DEFINETLY needs a subpoena, he just has to get in line first.

[sheshe2]

22. Bet he is getting one.

There are more reasons he was denied a committee seat than him being a jackass a puppet and a carnival barker.

Subpoena, delivery on the way.

[PatSeg]

30. Yes, this is going to get very interesting!

I love the idea of seeing him being questioned for a change. He can be such a dick in hearings.

[calimary]

33. Oh he'll still be a dick in these hearings.

And CERTAINLY in this hearing if he’s subpoena’d. Wouldn’t surprise me if he got up and walked out if the heat started getting to him.

He can dish it out but I bet he can’t take even a few minutes of it.

[PatSeg]

39. He will have a lot less control if he is a witness

Yes, I can picture him walking out or pretty much doing anything that he thinks plays well for the camera. Politics for him is all about performance. He pretends he is a maverick, but he is really just a very bad actor. The whole jacketless trademark is so pathetic - "I don't play by no stinkin' rules". Is that really the best he could come up with?

[LiberalFighter]

43. Give him a choice. Wear a jacket or a dress.

[PatSeg]

45. Oh, wouldn't that be fun to watch?

A sleeveless dress!

[LiberalFighter]

47. Maybe it should be a wrestling singlet or a leotard?

[PatSeg]

57. Oh my god, that makes my brain hurt!

[southerncrone]

59. The better to tickle him in!

[Maru Kitteh]

46. Because wearing a dress is soooo . . . . .

____________ what? Please fill in the blank.

[Backseat Driver]

51. Micturition on his lawless "strike-a-pose style"!

[PatSeg]

58. I think this fool

watched too many Clint Eastwood movies.

[CrispyQ]

64. "He can dish it out but I bet he can't take even a few minutes of it."

That pretty much sums up the lot of them. The cult, too. Petty, despicable (mostly) men, puffed up on themselves for no good reason. Kav being questioned at his confirmation vs Clinton at the Benghazi hearings is just a recent example.

[sheshe2]

37. I can see the sweat marks on his shirt.

[PatSeg]

40. Oh yeah and I'll be looking for them

He might want to consider wearing a jacket for a change, but can't do anything to interfere with his image.

[malaise]

27. THIS

and to think McCarthy thought he could name him for the Select Committee

[DFW]

60. McCarthy probably figured

It was probably the best way to protect Jordan from prosecution. I’m sure Jordan thought so, too.

[malaise]

62. I think the Slobfather wanted him to continue the chaos

[iluvtennis]

24. Love your play on the word jackass - I'll be lifting that one.

[malaise]

25. All yours

[orwell]

2. Most punchable face contest...

Top 5...

Gym Jordan

Sean Hannity

Tucker Carlson

Paul Gosar

Rand Paul

[LakeArenal]

3. JOHN Roberts.

[lame54]

26. Martin Shkreli...

I know he's not topical but to me he is the poster boy of punchable faces

[LakeArenal]

31. I chose Roberts since he could have ended this shit several times.

[mitch96]

7. I think they all come under the heading of Backpfeifengesicht, ja?

A face that needs to be slapped/punched.
m

[ChazInAz]

49. Sicher!

[Probatim]

9. Ted Cruz and Rick Santorum should be on the list.

Part of being on the most punchable list includes the sound they'd make upon impact. My guess is that Cruz, Carlson, and Paul would make the most pathetic (and satisfying) whimpers in the bunch and that's why they'd be on my top 5.

If that's over the top, I'll apologize in advance.

[PJMcK]

10. Trump (n/t)

[PatSeg]

13. Oh, that was just what I was thinking

when I saw that photo. What a smug asshole.

Right up there with Ted Cruz!

[spanone]

14. I'll take paul gosar for twenty bucks

[dixiechiken1]

19. Ted Cruz

[11 Bravo]

23. Tuckums is my #1.

That smarmy, entitled, I finished sixth in a five man beard-growing contest look sets my teeth on edge.

[calimary]

35. That one got me laughing out loud, 11 Bravo!

“ That smarmy, entitled, I finished sixth in a five man beard-growing contest look sets my teeth on edge.”

Shit, even just looking at it starts me laughing again! I think you win the whole day just for that one sentence!

[AllaN01Bear]

28. sean hannity . roger stone . the idiot who insulted the apollo 17 commander

tfg and mtg.

[Skittles]

55. ...

[marble falls]

5. I believe there's a subpoena with his name on it in his near future. I'm surprised he's not ...

... putting distance between him and his buddy, not even a simple 45esque "I don't know him at all."

[TheRickles]

20. Hopefully, but if he refuses to testify, then what?

Is there a method to compel compliance with Congressional subpoenas?

[AngryOldDem]

29. Contempt of Congress.

Punishable by up to a year in jail and a fine that ranges from $100 to $100,000.

Of course, he could plead the 5th, I guess. Also not a good look for someone as pure as the driven snow as Our Gym.

[groundloop]

32. Is that even a thing anymore? After all the no-shows in the recent past I have to wonder.

[AngryOldDem]

36. I guess we'll find out.

I’m sure there are 100 loopholes an attorney could exploit, but in this case I think a game of hardball is definitely in order.

High time to stop them from getting away with crimes.

[wnylib]

52. There's a new sheriff in town for this 4 year term.

So, yeah, it's still a thing.

[patphil]

6. This is what Liz Cheney was talking about when she said, "You f**king did this."

see here:

[Jilly_in_VA]

8. I damn well hope so n/t

[Brother Mythos]

11. There's not a lot of information out there yet on terrorist Samuel Lazar. It appears that ...

he may be a resident of Pennsylvania, and there is probable cause to believe that he committed three (3) crimes on January 6th, including assault on a Federal law enforcement officer.

I vaguely remember hearing something about Republicans and 'only the best people.'

[vapor2]

15. I want to know if Jordan gave a tour of the Capitol on Jan 5

there should be video evidence

[Eyeball_Kid]

65. I have only seen ONE photo of any 1/5/21 activity.

IMO, Pelosi and the DOJ are holding those videos back because they will likely be primary pieces of evidence in coming prosecutions.

[C_U_L8R]

16. Let see that printed up large

and put on an easel in front of all Congress
to see every day.

Don't be a fucking Gym Jordan.

[MontanaMama]

17. Lazar has been arrested.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142776068

Another one bites the dust.

[Paladin]

34. Check out Gym Jordan's SHOES: Size 16-Narrow, looks like.

The guy's a bad joke, from head to toe.

[twodogsbarking]

42. Athletic clown shoes.

[certainot]

44. he's not a tall guy, probably size 8 or something

[Ilsa]

63. He forgot to remove the paper stuffing from the toes,

so he thinks he wears a size 16N.

[Lars39]

38. I think the guy holding the sign was arrested too

[Rhiannon12866]

48. What trouble is he in?

These insurrectionist scumbags in Congress are in no trouble at all.

[Skittles]

53. here is what Gym had to say about kneeling football players

“It’s a disrespect to the flag, to our great country, the greatest nation ever,” Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Urbana said.

[Stinky The Clown]

54. I hope I'm wrong but I am getting a whiff of Photoshop

[Blue Owl]

56. Gym's gonna megaphone it in

[Bucky]

61. To be fair, his raw skill with performative outrageous is VERY impressive

Dude can change the subject with more conviction than anyone I know.

[Mike Nelson]

66. I wonder...

... if he will demand to know why Nancy Pelosi allowed that man to get in his picture?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

67. Gym has never written legislation and votes NO on everything.
