Poor little Jim Jordan. The Ohio Republican congressman longs for the days of massive incompetence, vitriol, and double impeachment that were on full display when failed, one-term former President Donald Trump was still in the White House.
All Jimbo can do now is go on Fox News and whine to host Maria Bartiromo that the world has fallen apart under President Joe Biden, even though every metric that counts suggests otherwise.
Gym appeared on the verge of tears as he bemoaned the fall the Afghan capital city, Kabul, and began free-form ranting like a washed up jazz crooner as he completely overlooked facts and reality to put on his sepia-toned glasses and wax morosely:
“I think the first thing is why is Joe Biden on vacation. He hasn’t taken a question. It’s an embarrassing situation for the United States. Frankly, it’s not surprising. Maria, tell me what this administration has done right in their first eight months on the job. We have inflation like crazy, crisis on the border and the economy where it doesn’t need to be and crime surging in every urban areas. We had 11 murders in Chicago two weekends ago. Tell me what they have done right. It’s embarrassing and frightening and we have never seen anything this crazy since back in Vietnam when we had to get people out at the last minute as well.”
Biden is on vacation? He’s at Camp David, which just so happens to have its own Situation Room from which the president can monitor what goes on anywhere in the world. And, better yet, Jordan neglected to mention that he’s also on vacation because Congress is in recess until after Labor Day.
Jordan then harkened back to the dark days of the Trump presidency, which was highlighted by an uncontrolled pandemic, calls for Americans to inject bleach, and a deep recession brought about by Trump’s failure to admit things were as bad as the vast majority of us knew they were:
“So let’s hope we can protect American lives but this would not happen, this would not happen if President Trump was in the White House. We know that. We would not be treated the way we are from our adversaries and what happened in Anchorage, that just would not happen when you project strength and competence from the White House but unfortunately we don’t have that today.”
Really? Trump was withdrawing troops from Afghanistan and wanted to hold “peace talks” with the Taliban. The fall of Kabul can clearly be laid at the feet of Donald Trump and his incompetent Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo.
And that’s not all when it comes to Trump’s foreign policy failures. There was also his attempt to extort Ukraine and Donald’s fawning praise of Russian thug/president Vladimir Putin, a man who has killed thousands of innocents across the globe and also his political opponents shot or dosed with nerve gas.
Jim Jordan is upset because he knows President Biden is delivering results for the American people. All Trump did was enrich himself and his three oldest spawn. The country and the world is better off with Donald Trump as far from the Oval Office as possible.
