Congressional Republicans are a pathetic lot. Theyve descended into trying to out-Trump, Trump. This is the way authoritarian followers strut their stuff for their leader. It is pretty weak but if I can provoke them to show the true nature of their vile behavior that is good.

Folks like Jordan can be completely thrown off their game by driving the conversation.
Every time he speaks fast, ask him to repeat himself at a slower pace, so you can best process his questions.
After a few times, he will get completely frustrated and become angry. He will claim that he needs to speak fast because he is limited on time, when in reality it's because that is his way of thinking and throwing off opponents. By having him repeat the question and slowing it down, his mind will short circuit. But, here's the key, he'll repeat himself just a little slower. Afterwards, ask him to repeat it even slower still, to a normal conversation speed.

True Blue American
(17,984 posts)He actually laughed at them. Experts say that is how you stop tantrums. I actually did that with my 2 year old Grandson. He was lying in the floor screaming because they had taken a trinket away from him. It was actually necklaces I had bought in Saint Thomas..
I walked over to him, looked down and laughed. I watched his eyes dart at me. End of tantrum. Never had another in front of me. And I baby sat quite a bit. His Mother traveled.
John Dean did the same thing yesterday to Jordan and Gaetz. Like kids they thought the tantrums would work. Trumps are now failing,too.

(11,885 posts)Shows how corrupt and criminal the GOP have become. Watching them asking questions not calling for the truth and instead attacking it for trump , and Dean's character proves Dean's point completely. trump's calling Dean names is just more evidence they have no morals, no ethics, and no credibility anymore, and can't be trusted . They evidently didn't learn from the last Mid Term election they're going the wrong way staying with trump , and at some point they will realize after trump and they are exposed more it'll be too late to have another candidate run. Maybe Nancy is letting them wait so long they'll have no chance of winning because they waited to long to dump trump. John Dean showed us all yesterday again what courage looks like, and what the truth sounds like, and trump and the GOP didn't like it at all, and showed us what cowardice looks like. Dean will have a good place in our history , trump and the GOP will too, but not for good reasons, crimes against our country.

(38,419 posts)While at times Republicans may seem simply "pathetic" they are far worse than that.
Republicans are: stupid, insensitive, uneducated, racist, foolish, totally self serving, hateful, revengeful, idiotic, unpatriotic, selfish, lacking brains, have no historical awareness, no awareness of current events, against all minority groups, (except theirs) and totally ignorant...
And, his word "vile" certainly fits them, but it is totally insufficient.
If there are any characteristics that have been left out, please add........and of course...K AND R this entire thread from top to bottom....!!!!!!
