1. I don't know about that, but wasn't he just recently assigned to the Intelligence Committee

so he could participate in the impeachment hearings?

2. I think they put him on it just so he could shriek the hearsay defense

I do a positivity exercise with politicians I disagree with, contemplating them, watching them. Jordan is a nut job, but he reminds me so much of the country boys I grew up with.

I detest his politics, but I get a kick out of his perky optimism. And during the hearings, I started to look forward to him singing his Arias about the hearsay defense or the propriety of requesting that a foreign government hold a press conference to denounce one of the presidents political rivals. He reminds me of a child.

6. A spoiled bully child

17. I've known plenty of country boys, too.

Salt of the earth types, straight shooters. Hard workers, good neighbors.

Jim Jordan presents an image of being one of these down-to-earth good old boys, but in reality he is anything but. We’ve seen by his deeds and his words what a conniving, slimy, duplicitous little creep he really is.

3. He was put on to showcase his "talents" in the televised sessions...

it's not like he'd be doing any work on the committee.

4. It seems like he's been there forever. I assumed before he stopped

wearing his jacket and screaming like a banshee, maybe I just didn't notice him

16. Thank you for those quotation marks! His talents, lol

There were so many times when I wondered if a theatrical producer had given them tips on being histrionic, hysterical, and shrieky.

18. We live in a Reality TV culture now...

that's what people expect to see on their TVs now, a bunch of fighting and screaming.

And the people who decry the death of civil discourse are generally the very people who violate it the most.

Psychological projection is also endemic in our country.

7. It feels like he was there longer, thank you.

[jberryhill]

8. A minute with Jim Jordan lasts a lifetime

[dewsgirl]

9. He is the worst, worse than Collins or Nunes by far.

[CatMor]

10. It's because they examined him and couldn't find a brain

[Cracklin Charlie]

11. But he just got that new jacket!

He’s pathetic.

[dewsgirl]

12. LoL

[GemDigger]

21. It was a rental.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. It was a temporary assignment - they needed someone

who was especially loud and stupid for the duration of the hearings. It just seemed to last forever.

[dewsgirl]

14. It really did..he is the absolute worst.

[kairos12]

15. Gone back to monitoring the safety of gym locker rooms.

19. Man, that guy was masterful, he epitomizes talent and conviction... big loss to Adam Schiff

[gibraltar72]

20. He was the tough guy that couldn't skate called up from the minors.

[MoonRiver]

22. Well, intelligence was never JJ's strong suit, so there's that.

[scarytomcat]

23. He was the one put on the commitee at the last minute to cause trouble

mr no jacket failed at his task and made the rethugs look like morons

[yellowcanine]

24. Wasn't it a temporary assignment as the main asshole?
