Why hasn’t gym Jordan been indicted?

I agree. A good number of these criminals in congress deserve handcuffs, but what will it take to make it happen. If we can't have equal justice in congress & SCOTUS, this criminal GOP behavior will continue & that is unacceptable.

Representative Chris Smith (R) NJ, is

One of the few Republicans I know of

Who I can respect as a person. He’s not

A hypocrite. He has a long record in

Congress of working for human rights and

Against Torture/ against Human Trafficking.

How about electing him Speaker??

I am disgusted with the impotent men and women supposedly doing the work of the American people in Congress. We in America have come to a point where many in our Congress are there for self-aggrandizement, and the Americans who voted for them seem to choose the loudest and most clownish to represent them. This total inability to act like adults and accomplish anything, has emboldened terrorists and autocrats around the globe and opened the door to another 9-11.

This is not a video game it has real implications for the future safety of our country.

Wake up America. Use your brain to vote.

Well the root cause is in the Reagan/Bush take over of the WH for 12 years, the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine, which was done by BUSH SR's corrupt FCC (not Reagan's) who went against congress. I'm not talking about the equal time rule either. Bush repealed the F.D. based on a lie, that it "conflicted" with the 1st amendment...& that's just not true. The F.D. did not allow propaganda, opinion, lies, during news broadcasts. Those that say "well it couldn't be used in cable news", are missing the larger point. Spreading propaganda via radio, tv, & internet should not legal during actual news broadcasts. They can lie all they want on their opinion shows, but they should NEVER have the carte blanche to lie about the actual news & to smear it's opponents during broadcast news.

Those susceptible to this brain-washing, are ignorant of the fact that this is happening & after 30 years of this propaganda, they literally can't engage logic or critical thinking. I personally view this as Unconstitutional. After all, how can a person, who is being brainwashed with lies about what's in their best interest, pursue life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness? I think a class-action lawsuit could be considered to sue the RNC, GOP, & others that corruptly enabled this.

Most Americans are far too engrossed in their affluence to understand the hypocrisy of their values and their behavior. Compared to the rest of the world this nation is still attractive to billions of people who live under the illusion that America is the "home of the free and the brave". Nothing could be farther from the truth and the evidence can be found everywhere. Even the poetry on the Statue of Liberty means nothing to those who would benefit from behaving contradictory to its meaning. The ignorance of this nation is not just measured in the election of one of the most ignorant men in American history to the highest office. That ignorance is also found in at least half the population of this nation, in the courts, in the DOJ and in the world of business and the media. The values most expressly ignorant are in the manner of the treatment of women, minorities, immigrants and asylum seekers. The major fault lies in the American Educational System. It is no wonder that those who have chosen ignorance over rationality are in control. Ignorance breeds aggression. Cooperation does not. Ignorance breeds violence. Cooperation does not. Ignorance breeds anger, resentments, revenge. Cooperation breeds compromise and success. This nation is in deep trouble.

The Democrats have no-one to blame other than themselves for this disaster. This is the ignorant mess that has been created ever since Harry S. Truman told the American people of the character of the Republican mind-set as far back as the late 1940s and early 1950s. The American educational system has failed to educate. Millions of American voters have failed to vote. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent needlessly on the undecided, the lazy, the illiterate and the self-centered. Now we stand at the precipice of fascism and ignorance whereby the last three generations of Americans are about to insult their parents, grandparents who died to preserve their government. It very well could happen in the next few years. I am glad I'm old. I'll be gone and will not live to see it.

Stop blaming Democrats. The Democrats are the only ones standing against fascist GOP. The media, on the other hand, has failed miserably at what should be their first concern, after informing the American people--protecting U.S. democracy by calling out the corrupt ones, the lies, the smears, & the propaganda. This belongs at the feet of CIA Bush Sr et al, the billionaires, & Corporate interests of the rich, the GOP, RNC, Fox, Koch Bros, & all of those GOP who actively worked to undermine democracy for $, power, influence, out of hatred, & an extreme authoritarian political agenda that is not embraced by the majority. THIS is fascism. It is a choice between fascism or democracy. Period.

Have you any idea of how many Democrats did not vote in the election in the year 2000? Have you thought about how many Democrats did not vote because Hillary Clinton is a woman? Have you considered how many Democrats could have voted but did not because they were unable to get to the polls.... travel, work, the very fact that tradition says that voting is not to be done on a Sunday, lack of voting stations, the preference of the courts to do nothing about the inequities in the process and ability to vote. These restrictions could have been avoided had the Democrats, when they had the power, legislated solutions to the voting system. Is it so hard to consider majority rule? Apparently, the Democrats think so as do the Republicans. The electoral college is far more preferential even though it should have been changed many years ago in favor of majority rule. Remember.... Lawyers control this government not the most appropriate people who have devoted their interests of their education in the direction and guidance of human society.

This has NOTHING to do with you blaming Dems for everything. It isn't an excuse to point out the misogyny that exists either. I will point out that the ones that didn't vote for Hillary were far left Bernites not Dems. Statistics don't lie.

Who are you trying to school? Do you think the Dems can look into a crystal ball & see billionaires giving gobs of $ to fascist corrupt republicans? Your assertions are incorrect. You're trying to paint a blame picture about things that were not in the offing yet.

No party has wasted more money than the Republican party on their faux scandals all the way back from the Clinton era. They continue to waste it on an ill-conceived "impeachment" of yet another Dem POTUS. Meanwhile, they all banded together like sick hypocrites when the illegitimate loser Trump was impeached over his collusion with Russia to "win" the election & a second time for trying to steal another election via a coup.

Lawyers control the government? The Democratic Party is the only functioning party left. Stop trying to change the subject with b.s. One minute it's the Dems that didn't do enough, the next it's the lawyers "running" the government. I don't want to hear nitpicking of what Dems did or didn't do. Try looking at the mentally weak ppl that actually voted for a pathological liar, criminal, rapist, self-dealing, narcissist first & solve that...then we'll address the Dems & their problems.

I get so tired of so many people trying to make sense of the insanity of this political game. Apparently, you are not about to change your approach to your understanding of human behavior, and of course, I am not either. So, let's just leave it at that.

Look pal, I've been doing politics since the 4th grade. I don't need to "make sense" of it. I'm telling you how it is. Why would I change my approach? You're on here wrongly blaming the wrong people like a weak-minded dupe of Trump.

I'm cutting right to the real problem. Either you are for U.S. democracy....or you are for GOP corrupt fascism. There is no middle ground. So, I'm not going to sit here & wax all philosophical with a nebulous nonsensical word-salad, that further proves you have no idea what you are even talking about.

There is right & there is wrong here. You blaming Democrats is simply wrong. You are on the wrong side of history & reality. You're trying to distract & whine about things that are not real. This is what Bernie's followers engage in to hide behind their misogyny & continued propping up of the patriarchy. Maybe that's what really is bothering you....white males having to share power with women & minorities.

How is a less than a minute video a deep dive?

I’m sorry was not able to hear podcast but just from my researching, there is no one worse than Gym Jordan for Speaker. You might check out Jerry Weiss in “Feathers of Hope” on Substack for a group of 4 candidates for speaker they have been vetting since 12/2022, all of whom would be much superior candidates. Just FYI. Thank you!

Send this on to Nancy Mace. She claims to have no knowledge or understanding of the nefariousness of Mr. Jordan. Please, clue her in.

Yep, which is why I said from day 1, Scalice will win out over Jordan. Their hypocritical nonsense needs to be replaced ASAP. The rules in congress need to be overhauled too, because this is not working. I have been calling for an investigation of the RNC & GOP for a decade now to root out corruption, but it's only in the last 4 months of so that media heads have admitted that the Republican party is the problem, not Trump. They enabled Trump & have engaged in illegal, corrupt, & treasonous behavior. We all deserve better than this.
