Jim Jordan Whines When Asked Why The 2020 Election Was Fraudulent But 2024 Is Copacetic

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) failed to explain why he thought the 2020 election had been “rigged” but 2024 was free of any interference when asked about it on CNN this morning, instead whining and trying to downplay all of Donald Trump’s discredited conspiracy theories of why he lost to President Joe Biden four years ago.

CNN host Dana Bash began by telling Jordan, “In the run-up to the election, even on election night itself, Donald Trump baselessly accused Democrats of cheating. As soon as the results started to come in and show it going his way he stopped – nothing about that. I haven’t seen you or your colleagues claiming any election irregularities , no rampant voting brought this time. It seems to me that Republicans claim voting fraud and election integrity when you lose and not when you win.”

“No, I mean, again, as I said before, this election I think was the greatest political comeback we’ve ever seen,” Jordan replied with a shit-eating grin on his face. “He [Trump] did something that even Teddy Roosevelt could not do for goodness sake and the country–“

“But you think it was a free and fair election?” Bash asked.

Rather than respond, Jordan said he had seen an interview with a Latino voter who said he had cast his ballot for Trump because he didn’t think Democrats cared about people like him.

 “But last time around he claimed –– your leader claimed that there were problems with fraud.”

When Jordan attempted to talk over the host, she continued to press.

“But last time around it wasn’t so much about the policy differences or the personality differences, there were false claims about election fraud when Donald Trump lost. This time Donald Trump won and you think the election was free and fair. You see there is a little bit –“

Jordan: “I think the Democrats have to ask why we go from getting anyone 81 million to 71 million. What happened to those 10 million people? Maybe it’s not smart to run an election where you have no policies.”

“Why was it different from 2020 when he lost? Is that the only difference?” Bash asked for a third time.

“There were concerns about 2020 with all the mail-in voting that happened in Pennsylvania, they came in without any signature verification which is required,” Jordan claimed. “There were all kinds of concerns with how the 2020 election was run but—”

“There was no widespread fraud,” Bash reminded the congressman, who could only smile like a demented fool.

So 2020 was a fraudulent election, but 2024 is perfect? What a crock of shit!

Donald Trump Impeachment Joe Biden The Trump Adminstration

Impeachment Hearing Goes Off The Rails As Dem Proves Trump Took Money From 12 Countries As POTUS

During a hearing today at which House Republicans tried to present evidence that suggests an impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden should be initiated, evidence was presented that showed the person who has benefitted most while serving as head of state was none other than failed former president Donald Trump, according to David Badash of The New Civil Rights Movement.

With GOP members of the House Rules Committee suggesting that Biden had money funneled to him from other nations through his son, Hunter, U.S. Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-NM) noted that Trump did the very thing Biden is being accused of. However, there are facts proving Trump’s culpability.

Referring to Hunter Biden’s former business partner Devon Archer, who testified in a closed-door session before the House Oversight Committee, Congresswoman Fernandez explained, “if you actually look at that transcript, Mr. Archer was very clear that while the father [Joe Biden] may have talked to his son, they never ever talked about business.”

“They never ever talked about financial matters,” she continued. “And in contrast, when we were looking at issues about family business, I would like to enter into the record. Mr. Chairman, I seek consent to enter into the record, a [unrecognizable] that says Trump taxes show foreign income for more than a dozen countries.”

It appears that Fernandez was referencing a December 2022 article from Politico in which this sentence appears, “Donald Trump’s tax returns show the former president received income from more than a dozen countries during his time in office, highlighting a string of potential conflicts of interest.”

Among the countries listed by Politico are Canada, Panama, the Philippines, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.

Those verifiable facts led Fernandez to tell her colleagues on the committee:

“I think this is our objection. I think that it is important you are making a big deal of the fact that Joe, that Joe Biden, as a private citizen, a lot of these things that you’re talking about happened when Joe Biden was a private citizen, but more importantly, that his brother and his son were separate.”

“They did not have, their businesses were not commingled. It’s very clear from the evidence that they were separate. They were not the same. In contrast, we know from this article that says, Trump’s tax show foreign income, ‘Donald Trump’s tax returns show the former president received income from more than a dozen countries during his time in office,'”

Donald Trump never placed his business assets in a blind trust when he became president. All of his predecessors did. And as a result, Trump was free to promote his hotels to foreign dignitaries, who were eager to curry favor with him. And yet, Republicans had no problem with that arrangement.

Now, however, without a shred of proof, those same Republicans want to impeach Joe Biden for the very thing they gave Trump a pass on. That’s not just hypocrisy. It’s the sort of thing that should get every last one of them voted out of office come the 2024 election.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s ‘Disrespectful’ US Flag Tweet Gets Her Shredded On Social Media

While she claims to be a loyal and patriotic American who is dedicated to the MAGA (Make America Great Again) political ethos espoused by disgraced former president Donald Trump, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) posted a tweet this morning that suggests she’s only onboard with being a patriot when everything goes her way.

As Newsweek notes, Greene was clearly distressed by the far-reaching racketeering indictment handed down Monday evening by a Fulton County, Georgia grand jury and announced by the county district attorney Fani Willis.

The indictment hit the former president with 13 felony charges, including violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer, filing false documents, and multiple conspiracy counts.

Eighteen of his allies were also indicted, including Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and John Eastman. Trump has until Friday to surrender himself to authorities in Georgia for arraignment. He has long maintained his innocence against all of the legal cases mounting against him and dismissed them as politically motivated, as have many of his supporters.

Greene posted this in response to the indictment:

Flying the American flag upside down is a signal of distress, and it’s illegal under federal law.

Also, given that Greene has viciously attacked anyone who refuses to stand for the flag or National Anthem, it’s more than a tad hypocritical of her to use the flag in such a manner, as many reminded her on Twitter.

Biden Mocks Lauren Boebert For Her Hypocrisy Regarding A Green Energy Project In Her District 

President Joe Biden mocked Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and other members of the GOP during a speech he made today in Belen, New Mexico, noting that the congresswoman had once opposed a clean energy project being built in her district which he said she is now “welcoming.”

Discussing how his administration is investing in “broader clean energy manufacturing,” the president noted, “It’s going to happen in big cities and rural communities as well. Like in Colorado, CS Wind broke ground on what will be the world’s largest wind tower manufacturing plant.”

Then came the burn on Boebert:

“And coincidentally, CS Wind is in Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, you know that very quiet Republican lady, it’s in her district. Who, along with every other Republican, voted against this bill and is making all this possible. And she railed against this passage.

“But that’s okay. She’s welcoming it now. And when I ran for office, I promised myself, as I promised to be president of all Americans, whether you live in a blue state or a red state, I’m going to keep my promise.”

There was also a jab from Biden aimed at Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL).

“He had railed against this legislation and then I noticed he had a big announcement: ‘Alabama is going to get $200 million.’ And I thought, wait a minute, didn’t you rail against this for a long, long time?”

Dark Brandon is on a roll. He’s sick of the Republican bullshit and he’s going to keep calling them out for it.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Defends Her Boyfriend After He Gets Busted Dressing In Women’s Clothes

Ever since she arrived in Congress, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has made it clear that she is a proud bigot when it comes to the issue of equal rights for LGBTQ Americans, even going to far as to suggest that members of the LGBTQ community are trying to “groom” young children so they can sexually exploit them.

But today karma caught up with the controversial Georgia Republican in the form of a video being distributed on social media which shows her current boyfriend, Brian Glenn, who works as director of programming at Right Side Broadcasting, dressed in drag as part of a news broadcast he did several years ago, according to Newsweek.

Sharing the clip, which is captioned “A Tuna Christmas to open at Casa Manana,” Greene said Glenn had dressed as a woman “for morning news in Dallas years ago reporting on an upcoming local theatre production.”

Greene reacted to the video by attacking those who had shared it, but she clearly didn’t understand her own blatant hypocrisy, writing:

I’m literally lol’ing.

@brianglenntv dressed in drag for morning news in Dallas years ago reporting on an upcoming local theatre production and the morons over at Patriot Takes think this is an attack. Brian loves the throwback and is reposting.

😂

The left is so stupid.

Reaction to the video and to Greene’s pathetic attempt to dismiss it was righteously harsh and hilarious.
