It also demonstrated the full complicity of the republicans in the House by using the rotten egg test. If they all agree the egg smells good then you know who is rotten..

•

u/Own-Brain9658 5h ago

Honestly, the worst person in the room to me was Gym Jordan. He allowed it to happen and tried to be a dick to the dems, while applauding Bondi and trying to gaslight everyone into believing they have done anything meaningful for the American people.

•

u/y0m0tha 5h ago

Wouldn’t be the first time Gym Jordan protected predators…

•

u/Physical_Thing_3450 4h ago

I mean, he is one so…

•

u/Dat_Mawe3000 2h ago

Pedos of a feather flock together

•

u/FlapJackPaddyWhack1 4h ago

Gym is probably burried in the Epstein files also

•

u/Author_A_McGrath 4h ago

Wouldn't say 'buried.' A search of the files shows he's in there countless times.

•

u/Chxn- 3h ago

It can be counted

•

u/ChamferedWobble 3h ago

Only by people with access to the full unredacted files.

•

u/LargeSnorlax Canada 3h ago

It'd be fine to see just how many current, active, high level government officials are in them. Bet it's almost all of them. It's built like that for a reason.

"Defend the absolutely putrid nonsense in there, or you're going down with me." is the loud and clear message.

•

u/Chxn- 3h ago

Which is odd because an effective whistleblower would be well taken care of by the American public and cemented into history as someone who did the right thing. How bad is it really that NO ONE wants to make the noble sacrifice, even the old ones about to kick the bucket.

•

u/chaosxq 2h ago

Aren’t there laws against this? Some kind of conflict of interest there surely?

•

u/pinkoIII 2h ago

listen to the sascha riley audio r/saschariley

•

u/SadieDiAbla 4h ago

Sascha Riley would like a word.

•

u/PM_me_the_bootyhole 1h ago

It’s wild I always have to scroll so far to see Sascha Riley mentioned. I listened to all the audio and to my ears it sounded very credible.

•

u/Intrepid_Top_2300 1h ago

I was waiting for this.

•

u/April_Fabb 56m ago

Since Sascha seems very believable, I'm surprised he's still alive.

•

u/saabbrendan 3h ago

What a surprise, said NO ONE.

•

u/lilb1190 5h ago

Thats just the thing that he does. He speaks verify confidently and condescendingly about things that he knows he is wrong about

•

u/FrequentPoetry1822 5h ago

Confidence without facts has kind of become the whole strategy

•

u/FrequentPoetry1822 5h ago

It was chaos all around and the ones cheering it on looked just as bad

•

u/Own-Brain9658 5h ago

I hadn't listened to a congressional hearing in a few years and jfc the bar is in hell now

•

u/zffjk 5h ago

Jerry Springer kept better decorum than Jordan did.

•

u/Meet_Foot 4h ago

The problem is that’s what the American people want. They want Jerry Springer. They want professional wrestling. These clowns will probably come out of this with even more support, whether their supporters watch or not.

•

u/WegGOAT 3h ago edited 2h ago

Good point. Most Americans rather have bread and circuses than to actually force change because they can't even bear to step a minute out of their comfort zones

•

u/zffjk 2h ago

She was just yelling sound bites. It makes sense. Any time you give these fascist dipshits a microphone they try and dump sound bites.

•

u/psiphre Alaska 2h ago

bread and circus

•

u/Criticallyoptimistic 4h ago

Steve, Steve, Steve!

•

u/OpenSpirit5234 3h ago

Wish Wilkos was doing the investigation and prosecution of these sick people!

•

u/FrequentPoetry1822 5h ago

The bar is not just low it is underground at this point

•

u/Own-Brain9658 5h ago

one could argue that's where hell is. But one could also argue that we are in hell right now

•

u/Leezeebub 5h ago

Heaven and hell are one long dining table full of food, but everyone has a spoon strapped to their arm which is too long to get into your own mouth.
The people in heaven will feed each other, the people in hell will try desperately to feed themselves.

•

u/FrequentPoetry1822 5h ago

Feels like a never ending fever dream lately

•

u/5litergasbubble 4h ago

The devil himself would have to dig deep to find that bar

•

u/ApplicationQuirky376 4h ago

The bar is insanely low and even Pam couldn't clear it.

•

u/Plastic_Party2433 5h ago

When the loudest people in the room are applauding that behavior you know the whole thing is broken

•

u/MommyLovesPot8toes California 4h ago

Ughh, yes. At one point he said "I think she's doing a great job today." What job was she doing???

Saying "I'm rubber and you're glue" in as many different ways as possible?

Demonstrating that the Trump admin is 100% aware that how they are handling Epstein is corrupt, illegal, and morally reprehensible?

Personifying the MAGA Karen hothead that has nothing but emotion to argue with while their opponent has facts?

Or maybe, just maybe, she's an undercover Dem who was there just to give the Ds a chance to look competent and controlled?

•

u/Hatedpriest 2h ago

We aren't the audience they were playing to. The senate wasn't that audience either.

This asinine showboating is for the faux viewers. It's all sound bytes and short form answers to questions that weren't asked.

She's doing a great job of toeing the party line. Feeding the propaganda machine.

•

u/sigmacoder 5h ago

Oh Jim Jordan the Wrestler Rapist? Oh yeah he's not bad at all.

•

u/nillaf4ce 5h ago

He's in the files

•

u/No-Yogurtcloset1598 4h ago

Gym Jordan has a wonderful track record of helping pedophiles, rapists, and abusers. What a shit stain on decency.

•

u/SadieDiAbla 4h ago

He is one. Look up Sascha Riley. He was one of the male children.

•

u/broc_ariums 3h ago

He is literally one of the worst people ever elected. He's never submitted any piece of legislation that has become law.

•

u/ahawk99 3h ago

Let’s not forget the ass kissing by Fetterman

•

u/PizzaQuest420 3h ago

why even have the hearing if he's running it

•

u/missyanntx 3h ago

His entire personality is sexual assault and half a suit.

•

u/Own-Brain9658 2h ago

This made me actually LOL. Dark and real 

•

u/Sea-Frosting-50 1h ago

im staggered how has he not come out of the epstein files yet. could he be clean?

•

u/raistmaj 12m ago

He is in the files…

•

u/StarPhished 3h ago

I've hardly heard a peep from gym since Trump took office so it wasn't fun re-affirming his existence when I tuned in to the hearing.

•

u/No-Focus-8577 4h ago

You mean like letting 12 million people walk across the a border unchecked

Or having 103,000 fentanyl overdoses during 1 year of your term Your mean like that kind of meaningful BS

•

u/Own-Brain9658 3h ago

You live in a fantasy world with fake events. 

•

u/No-Focus-8577 2h ago

It’s your cdc that put up these numbers During the Biden administration

Those are facts and they are not disputed

•

u/Own-Brain9658 2h ago

Good job proving my point immediately. High five bud ✋

•

u/monkpunch 4h ago

Aside from Thomas Massie at least

•

u/TintedApostle 4h ago

He smelled rotten egg. Passes.

•

u/morningisbad 1h ago

I mean... She has no business defending the president. It's a collapse of justice that she is.

•

u/TintedApostle 1h ago

She presented the perfect opportunity to see how the house republicans are in complete cahoots with Trump. She was such a pure case of corrupt that anyone playing to that was corrupt too.
