Jim Jordan says “Americans today believe there is unequal application of the law.” He’s talking about Donald Trump and Hunter Biden. The reason people believe that, Jim, is because lying sacks of shit like you and Donald Trump tell people there is. It’s a lie.

Any regular citizen of reasonable means would be in jail awaiting trial if that person had acted the way Trump has.
America does have a two tiered justice system, and the fact Trump is still out there moving around at his leisure spouting his BS proves it.

Jordan's two-tiered honoring of rule of law is revealed by his constant projection of his own rule of men ideology.

Just tuned into the @jim_jordan
witch hunt session.

He's totally misrepresenting the Hunter Biden plea deal. But this will make it far easier for Hunter to escape the charges.

And the ilk of people like Jordan and Trump have benefitted from that unequal application for their entire lives, and when their crimes can no longer be ignored, they whine and cry, "unfair" like Jordan and TFG do.

BREAKING: Rep. Jerry Nadler is giving an opening statement in a hearing intended to grill US Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Nadler is blasting Republicans for wasting time and energy on fruitless investigations into Hunter's laptop and other conspiracy theories to deflect from their own failures to legislate.

He implores the public to "see through the sham." Well said, Rep. Nadler!

So when the looming government shutdown goes into effect, it should be fair game for the popular media to ask Republicans why they wasted precious time on this dog and pony show when they should have been passing a budget. But I'll bet that nobody says anything to Squeaker McCarthy.

has no decency. Joe McCarthy had none, too, but society did not accept such insouciance and hypocrisy from elected officials back then. Therefrom the power of Welch's question..."Have you no decency?" I for one, am beyond the point where my decency has been offended.
