Isn't this the Jim Jordan that was involved in the sex abuse cover-up conspiracy at Ohio State University?

[–] PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com 52 points 2 years ago

Yes that's him, the rape enabler

No no, this is the Jim Jordan that was involved in the sex abuse cover-up conspiracy at The Ohio State University.

[–] thisisawayoflife@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Wait, THE Jim Jordan from THE Ohio State University, where Jim Jordan, the Republican congressman who attempted to become House speaker, was involved with a sex abuse cover-up conspiracy!?

Found the bucking fuckeye 😀

(I actually like OSU so no disrespect intended…)

His full name is Gymnasium Jordan, or Gym for short.

[–] neptune@dmv.social 3 points 2 years ago

The very same.

We would have a speaker if Republicans voted for Jeffries. This is all their fault contrary to what dipshit McHenry thinks.

What I do find interesting are the Republicans who are not voting for Jim 'Rapist Enabler' Jordan but instead voted for Steve 'David Duke Without the Baggage' Scalise. Trading one massive piece of shit for another.

We’d also have a speaker if the democrats voted for Gym!! It’s obviously their fault!!

[–] SeaJ@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's basically the joke. McHenry blamed Democrats for McCarthy losing the Speaker position despite a Republican being the one to call for a vote and not all Republicans voting for him.

[–] popcap200@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Don't forget too, only days after he told the Democrats he won't compromise and they get nothing. Lmao what an idiot.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

He also pretty much dared Gaetz to actually initiate the ouster then seemed surprise that his bluff got called and he was caught holding an Uno card and a half filled customer loyalty card for a Subway that got shut down for health code violations

Why are the libruls letting us hurt ourselves???

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are we in leopards ate my face territory when GOP house members are getting death threats from their own base for not supporting Jordan?

[–] spider@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 years ago

getting death threats from their own base

i.e., the MAGA version of a charm offensive.

[–] eee@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

This is really funny to watch. Maybe he'll get negative votes at one point.
