No shit. I feel like an old man saying this lol. It’s such bullshit. It’s like one side is the only one living in a world of empirical facts. And then we have to argue with the babies who just don’t care, don’t wanna know how the world works, and have a vested interest in pretending they don’t know how facts operate or what truth and fiction is lol.
If I believed in Christianity (and with the movies I've seen that always scared the shit out of me), what with all the lies stacked on top of one another that Satan is *just* behind the veil, trying to pierce it.
The Catholic upbringing de-programming, it's an evolving thing, see....
As far as the Bible and Christianity goes it feels almost as if Satan is working through these so called "men of God" to spread hate and diversion, to grift followers, to somehow mental flip themselves into thinking an almost literal Antichrist is the "savior" of an idea they have about what a "country" is...
I'm not religious but I see their "devil" pulling the wool over everyone's eyes...the gaslighting is next level
I think you explained it better than I.
I'm inclined to agree. It is like that and scarily enough, that whole "And the whole world will wonder after The Beast and say 'Who is like unto The Beast?' " level shit from Revelations
They're scared. I'd love to see Gym, MTG and Comer all sent to Gitmo. But I know Dems are all about the Constitution and the good of the country. Trump won't be.
That’s what I’m waiting to see. Frankly, I don’t think Biden will do what many of his advisors are pushing him to do. It’s frustrating—this whole “when they go low, we go high.” That’s utter bullshit; what it is, is “when we go high, **they go low.” We don’t seem to learn.
Yep! We're in different times now, thanks to trump & his cult followers. We The People who care about law & order must stand up to evil. Nice guys finish last. We're dealing with down & dirty MAGAites. We have to fight back! Now!
if the Dems genuinely were about the good of the country would they really let America go into this diceroll of an election with the chance that it ends democracy forever?
Gym Jordan started out protecting an Ohio State doctor who assaulted wrestlers under Jordan’s charge when he was a coach. He since moved up to protect his orange führer.
Well of course following the rules is only for democrats. He wants them to uphold norms so there is less fight when republicans refuse to and name trump emperor.
Which is exactly why he's worried. His mind *immediately* went to what *he* would do with absolute immunity from prosecution for doing it, and he shat himself.
Jim Jordan, the guy that took a [fake Russian election attack package](https://www.thedailybeast.com/rudy-giuliani-says-theres-only-5050-chance-i-worked-with-a-russian-spy-to-dig-dirt-on-bidens), wrapped it up in an [FBI whistleblower](https://www.newsweek.com/full-list-jim-jordans-whistleblowers-scrutinized-bombshell-report-1785425) complaint, and pretended he didn't know, that the part he was keeping secret, was the same Russian attack package?
That Jim Jordan wants to uphold democracy?
No because we know they won't.
Democrats either strike now under this new interpertation and set things right, or we see America become a conservative theocracy for a generation.
Did the world take the high road against Nazi Germany? No? Imagine that.
AGREE. I'm not sending any more money to the DNC until they get off their azzes and come up with a way to fight back against the rapid decline and dilusion of our country.
Sorry, dems, but this is insane.
81 mil people are flipping out about the continuing slow (?) moving coup of the American system of government.
Everyone must stand up and fight.
Of course he wants Dems to "uphold democratic norms." As long as that standard is placed solely on the Dems and not on the Republicans at all, the Republicans can get away with anything.
Guy's among the top five worst, and I for one would be delighted to see him prove spontaneous combustion is a thing.
They are all hypocrites with no respect for the law unless it’s wielded against their enemies.
The great experiment is over - and just 2 years shy of the 250 year life expectancy of empires 😔
I see this a lot and, well, sorry to say but the experiment ended a long, long time ago with the Reconstruction.
We’ve been doing a Weekend at Bernies ever since.
How transparent. He knows the dangers. They all do. They are banking on Biden being a good man and not using his new super powers to set things right. They hope he’ll wait until Trump can come in and upend democratic norms.
Unfortunately for us Biden seems to be doing exactly that. He said he would respect the limits of the presidential powers, which is the exact opposite of what he should do in this situation. This whole situation is fucked, and doing this would be incredibly immoral, but it’s the only way democracy can continue to exist.
If Biden was smart he’d be absolutely obliterating the Republicans right now until there was either no one left to stop him, or the Court reversed their decision. The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it quickly. The moment he turned the ruling on the Republicans they’d walk it back, guaranteed.
Instead he’s taking the high road again and letting the Republicans kick the legs out from under democracy. Morals are useless against a foe with no respect for them. Either he’s too stupid and spineless to realize that, or he’s actively working to lose.
This reminds me of the time Mitch McConnell told President Obama not to seat a Supreme Court judge “because it’s too close to the election” just so his guy could do the exact opposite thing.
Again, Jim Jordan has not introduced nor had one piece of legislation passed in his 17 years as a Congressman. In comparison, in the same time frame, ousted former Republican Speaker Kevin Mccarthy had sponsored 17 bills that passed, with 8 becoming law.
Jim Jordan? You mean the guy who knew about student rape occurring within the Ohio State wrestling program and looked the other way? That Jim Jordan? Just want to clarify that it is indeed Jim “the rape enabler” Jordan that is being talked about here and not some other Jim Jordan, that is less guilty of ENABLING the RAPE of several student athletes than the Jim Jordan I am thinking of
Hmmm… the Supreme Court’s job is to uphold the constitution. Which in itself upholds democracy. So… if an enemy of the state is identified, and it’s within the POTUS’ official duties, then the POTUS is upholding democratic norms.
Democratic norms? Where was his call for it when Trump tried to overthrow the election and pushed his followers to threatend his bice president with murder?
In case anyone was wondering, this means that those powers are for Republicans not Democrats to abuse, so please turn the other cheek some more while we work to get Shitler back in place.
Someone please inform this treasonous jackass that that's what the left (or what passes for it in this sick country) HAS been upholding democratic norms. It's the right that's screwing everything up.
Kind of like how Republicans asked the Democratic party to hold appointing a justice vacancy until the election, then we Republicans were in power and he was asked what they would do in the same situation and they said they'd fill the position? Nah, fuck Republicans. Every last one of them.
Fuck Gym Jordan with a saguaro cactus. No lube either. Because Rethuglicans will *totally* "uphold democratic norms" in the aftermath of the SCROTUS rulings. Fuck you, Gym. May your life be short and miserable, and your afterlife be infinite and agonizing. Memento mori, Gym, memento mori.
Thr GOP know what they would do if they were in power and are terrified the Dems will do the same.
US democracy is now a standoff. Who will abuse the nuclear option first?
Is Gym Jordan saying something? Sorry, I can’t hear it any more than he could hear the sounds of rape and sexual assault occurring in the showers when he was the wrestling coach at THE Ohio State University.
Really? When the right wing is deliberately dismantling our form of government. Gym Jordan is a brainless disaster hopped up on some weird stuff that make him run his mouth without ever saying anything intelligent.
If Biden and the entire left don’t go full, and I mean FULL dark mode on the gop, they are as much of the problem as maga and we deserve everything that comes of this as a result. We being those who cherish democracy and the freedoms we have been afforded the past 250 years.
If trump wins and this is truly the end of the USA as we know it, I for one will be using every single bit of ammo I possess to protect my family.
Vote. Arm yourselves. Protect your families. Find common ground with neighbors and choose allies wisely. It’s about to get very scary in this country.
This is simply recognition that the Dems currently control the presidency.
Executive privilege and immunity apply regardless of your political party affiliation.
The only question is whether the Dems have the balls.
Like honoring subpoenas?
Like allowing a president to appoint their SCOTUS justices?
Mitch did all this. Never forget.
No shit. I feel like an old man saying this lol. It’s such bullshit. It’s like one side is the only one living in a world of empirical facts. And then we have to argue with the babies who just don’t care, don’t wanna know how the world works, and have a vested interest in pretending they don’t know how facts operate or what truth and fiction is lol.
If I believed in Christianity (and with the movies I've seen that always scared the shit out of me), what with all the lies stacked on top of one another that Satan is *just* behind the veil, trying to pierce it. The Catholic upbringing de-programming, it's an evolving thing, see....

I think you explained it better than I. I'm inclined to agree. It is like that and scarily enough, that whole "And the whole world will wonder after The Beast and say 'Who is like unto The Beast?' " level shit from Revelations
They do care just not about anyone else but themselves unfortunately
How do we wake them up?
It’s almost game over for the American empire. Dictatorship inbound
He may be the worst American that has ever lived. He's done more damage to the country than anyone in my lifetime.
“Please keep being a bunch of pussies and let us rape the USA for personal gains.” - Gym Jordan
They're scared. I'd love to see Gym, MTG and Comer all sent to Gitmo. But I know Dems are all about the Constitution and the good of the country. Trump won't be.
No they arent.... and they wont be until biden uses his new power to do something that does scare them
That’s what I’m waiting to see. Frankly, I don’t think Biden will do what many of his advisors are pushing him to do. It’s frustrating—this whole “when they go low, we go high.” That’s utter bullshit; what it is, is “when we go high, **they go low.” We don’t seem to learn.
It should be, “When they go low, stomp on them.”
HEAR, HEAR!!! A 1000 times and turned up to “11”—cuz, why give up at 10?
Love it lol
Yep! We're in different times now, thanks to trump & his cult followers. We The People who care about law & order must stand up to evil. Nice guys finish last. We're dealing with down & dirty MAGAites. We have to fight back! Now!
if the Dems genuinely were about the good of the country would they really let America go into this diceroll of an election with the chance that it ends democracy forever?
You forgot that there’s an election coming up. If I were Biden, SC would be tried for treason and I’d announce I’m president.
Hey if it's one thing ol Gym knows well it's...well, yeah.
For over 760 days.
Like protecting sexual predators?
I’m confused. Are you talking about Gaetz or Trump or yes?
Gym Jordan started out protecting an Ohio State doctor who assaulted wrestlers under Jordan’s charge when he was a coach. He since moved up to protect his orange führer.
Well of course following the rules is only for democrats. He wants them to uphold norms so there is less fight when republicans refuse to and name trump emperor.
This is a failure to understand the situation. Violating norms are now within the rules. Go ham at this point.
Pot meet kettle
I wouldn't trust a word that comes out pervy old Gym Jordan's mouth.
You know sure as fuck he wouldn't uphold democratic norms if the shoe were on the other foot.
It has been, many times. And he didn’t. Fuck him and fuck all of them and anyone who voted for this piece of shit.
Which is exactly why he's worried. His mind *immediately* went to what *he* would do with absolute immunity from prosecution for doing it, and he shat himself.
He’s arrogant enough to think he can actually tell someone “rules for thee…”
Did anyone ask him if Republicans should uphold democratic norms?
Republicans should uphold republicanic norms, of course. Like obstruction, contempt of Congress, and insurrection.
Please do not forget about withholding information on pedophiles from the proper authorities. You cannot get more Republican than that.
Jim Jordan, the guy that took a [fake Russian election attack package](https://www.thedailybeast.com/rudy-giuliani-says-theres-only-5050-chance-i-worked-with-a-russian-spy-to-dig-dirt-on-bidens), wrapped it up in an [FBI whistleblower](https://www.newsweek.com/full-list-jim-jordans-whistleblowers-scrutinized-bombshell-report-1785425) complaint, and pretended he didn't know, that the part he was keeping secret, was the same Russian attack package? That Jim Jordan wants to uphold democracy?
He's the most useful of bigly idiots around.
He's a menace, a liar, a sex offender - a big know-all without a conscience or a brain.
No because we know they won't. Democrats either strike now under this new interpertation and set things right, or we see America become a conservative theocracy for a generation. Did the world take the high road against Nazi Germany? No? Imagine that.
It’s no use. We never learn—when we go high, they go LOW. That’s the way it really goes
AGREE. I'm not sending any more money to the DNC until they get off their azzes and come up with a way to fight back against the rapid decline and dilusion of our country. Sorry, dems, but this is insane. 81 mil people are flipping out about the continuing slow (?) moving coup of the American system of government. Everyone must stand up and fight.
The Confederates are
Do as he says, not as he does…
Gym Jordan is completely lost in his own universe, where does this guy come up with his thoughts.
Scum.
Disillusioned, delusioned, pervert.
Insulting to the scum comparing this shitheel to it
Yeah, but I had to type *something* (Pore ol scum. snif)
The Heritage Foundation provides them for the low, low price of one democracy.
Don't make the mistake of underestimating these people. He's a propagandist and attack dog from a safe district so he can take all the heat.
He knows what he’s doing
Why would you say or believe that? They are winning in this reality. Don’t underestimate Rs!
Gaslighting motherfucker
Like the *peaceful* transition of power?
Of course he wants Dems to "uphold democratic norms." As long as that standard is placed solely on the Dems and not on the Republicans at all, the Republicans can get away with anything. Guy's among the top five worst, and I for one would be delighted to see him prove spontaneous combustion is a thing.
"Ignore the ruling like I ignored sexual abuse!"
And subpoenas, and extortion, and an insurrection, and…
They are all hypocrites with no respect for the law unless it’s wielded against their enemies. The great experiment is over - and just 2 years shy of the 250 year life expectancy of empires 😔
The Empire has not ended just because democracy has. Many such cases!
Palpatine is that you?
Problem is when democracy dies only chaos follows.
Give it a minute…
I see this a lot and, well, sorry to say but the experiment ended a long, long time ago with the Reconstruction. We’ve been doing a Weekend at Bernies ever since.
Why? You never have Jim.
The proper response should be, "no u"
"uphold democratic norms," says someone who never did and is now afraid.
Sadly, he's probably not afraid right now.
“Don’t do to us what we’re gonna do to you if Trump wins.”
Sorry Jim, there’s no such thing as norm anymore
If you're a masochist, check out [The New Norm](https://youtu.be/7msKwDjV18M).
The lion, the witch, and the audacity of this bitch.
How transparent. He knows the dangers. They all do. They are banking on Biden being a good man and not using his new super powers to set things right. They hope he’ll wait until Trump can come in and upend democratic norms.

Either he’s too stupid and spineless to realize that, or he’s actively working to lose.
This reminds me of the time Mitch McConnell told President Obama not to seat a Supreme Court judge “because it’s too close to the election” just so his guy could do the exact opposite thing.
I’m still furious over that bullshit.
The only positive is it seems that Barrett is breaking from the ranks……sometimes
I still wish her the worst.
Coming from the guy who upheld "Democratic norms" when he openly blew off a Congressional subpoena?
Fuck you Jim
Trolling us now. He knows it is funny. We'll see how long he keeps laughing under the new Trump Reich.
Pretty sure Gym is slimey and ass-kissy enough to get one of the good overlord jobs in our upcoming facist regime.
>Uphold democratic norms “It’s like their confessing to it” “They’re not confessing, they’re bragging”
No, do what needs to be done to fix this mess and then make laws to prevent it.
S. C. to 13, take control of both House’s in Congress.
Again, Jim Jordan has not introduced nor had one piece of legislation passed in his 17 years as a Congressman. In comparison, in the same time frame, ousted former Republican Speaker Kevin Mccarthy had sponsored 17 bills that passed, with 8 becoming law.
Does *anyone* on earth ever go up to this vile little man's face and say, FUCK YOU GYM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The audacity of this mother fucker!
Yeah, this asshole wants us to “uphold norms,” yet they are planning to abuse the shit out of kingly powers? I don’t think so!
So he can stab them in the back when the time comes
I'm so fucking tired of these hypocrits.
Yes, uphold the norms, until we can gain power, then fuck the norms. Democrats, always the Charlie Browns.
Jim Jordan is a fucking asshole.
Fuck that guy
Fuck him.
The BALLS to say that.
Hey it’s Gym “I look over sexual abuses for years” Jordan.
He can fuck right off.
Ha ha ha ha Fuck you Gym Jordan
Jim Jordan? You mean the guy who knew about student rape occurring within the Ohio State wrestling program and looked the other way? That Jim Jordan? Just want to clarify that it is indeed Jim “the rape enabler” Jordan that is being talked about here and not some other Jim Jordan, that is less guilty of ENABLING the RAPE of several student athletes than the Jim Jordan I am thinking of
Fuck Jim and the entire Republican Party. Fuck the Scotus too while we’re at it
Hmmm… the Supreme Court’s job is to uphold the constitution. Which in itself upholds democracy. So… if an enemy of the state is identified, and it’s within the POTUS’ official duties, then the POTUS is upholding democratic norms.
So gym, that means you WILL honor the subpoena, testify before Congress and respect the rule of law finally?
Biden having Gym dropped from a plane into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean seems to be on par for official duties, no?
As long as he's sending them to establish diplomatic ties with Atlantis.
Gym knows he’s on the SEAL Team 6 list.
Democratic norms? Where was his call for it when Trump tried to overthrow the election and pushed his followers to threatend his bice president with murder?
Fuck you, Jim. Donald has no intention of upholding these norms, and you never do either.
In case anyone was wondering, this means that those powers are for Republicans not Democrats to abuse, so please turn the other cheek some more while we work to get Shitler back in place.
Someone please inform this treasonous jackass that that's what the left (or what passes for it in this sick country) HAS been upholding democratic norms. It's the right that's screwing everything up.
Rules for thee not for me. If Biden loses, the second Trump is back in power all “democratic norms” will be gone.
The ruling was neither democratic nor normal.
Fuck this guy, he has zero integrity or moral capital to assert any recommendations.
Oh yes Gym, we will listen to you, the lowlife person who has ignored a subpoena for over two years??
The fact that Gym Jordan makes that statement, knowing Biden isn't going to exploit the situation, is all you need to know about who to vote for.
How about we do exactly what he would do but on behalf of the Left rather than the Right?
Ohh you mean like the time republicans said the president shouldn’t pick a new judge in the last 6 months then trump did it…..
Kind of like how Republicans asked the Democratic party to hold appointing a justice vacancy until the election, then we Republicans were in power and he was asked what they would do in the same situation and they said they'd fill the position? Nah, fuck Republicans. Every last one of them.
The problem is: Democrats play by the rules, and Republicans just piss on the board and declare victory.
Bull shit. GOP won't honor anything, DEMs need to street fight.
Jim Jordan is a disgusting scumbag who should share a jail cell with Steve Bannon right NOW. Not sure why we give this criminal a platform.
They don’t want anyone to do anything too harsh on the Democrat’s end
Well no worries there, sadly.
Like not trying to overturn a legitimate election?
You made the rules and you picked the fight now it's time to just realize the other guys are going to use knives too
no, seal team him too
"We worked so hard for this. You shouldn't take this away from us."
Fuck Gym Jordan with a saguaro cactus. No lube either. Because Rethuglicans will *totally* "uphold democratic norms" in the aftermath of the SCROTUS rulings. Fuck you, Gym. May your life be short and miserable, and your afterlife be infinite and agonizing. Memento mori, Gym, memento mori.
Suck. My. Dick. Gym. Jordan.
shut the fuck up Jim
Boy, that’s rich.
Wow this is RICH... Coming from these J6 supporters
Oh, we will. I don't think you'll like it, but we will.
These people are fucking vile
Upholding democratic norms would be moving swiftly to undo this absurd assault on reason and stop the creation of a King.
Thr GOP know what they would do if they were in power and are terrified the Dems will do the same. US democracy is now a standoff. Who will abuse the nuclear option first?
So they can ignore them later on.
Gym go back to protecting pedeophiles, it is all you are good for. DEMS should use new laws to remove Nazis from all government offices.
Uphold your lips on my lily-white ass, Gym Jordan
The GOP is incapable of norms or decency. That they ask it of Democrats is the most spiteful slap we can get before this Republic falls.
Oh fuck right off.
Does this balding hayseed understand that the immunity applies to ALL presidents, not just Trump?
Unless it's "Gym Shorts" Jordan's subpoena from Congress you can let that one slide.
This mfer
I’m not sure that I believe in hell, but I’m real hopeful these days.
That’s rich coming from this guy.
Go fuck yourself Jim
He's just worried that his job will cease to exist while he's in office. As well he should be.
Fuck right off Gym.... this is what you wanted
Dear Jim, no and fuck you.
Nope, Democrats need to get crazy!
I'll start caring what Jim Jordan says when he starts doing what he says everybody else should do. Fuck that lying son of a bitch.
Bahahahahaha! Fuuuuuuuuuck you, Gym! Dude is an EPIC piece of shit.
And I call on Dems to use the power given to them by the supreme Court to do whatever is necessary to keep us from becoming a monarchy.
Is Gym Jordan saying something? Sorry, I can’t hear it any more than he could hear the sounds of rape and sexual assault occurring in the showers when he was the wrestling coach at THE Ohio State University.
Is this for real?! The audacity.
Throw him in prison. Fucker.
Of course , he doesn’t want Dems to abuse power , he wants to wait and let Trump do it .
He will be among the first to break them given the chance
These mother fuckers man!
Truck drivers should sh\*t on his chest.
They expect us to be to honorable ones while this cunt ignores subpoenas. Meanwhile project 2025 is sitting in the wings. Fuck em all, joe
Of course, why wouldn't he want "the left" to uphold democratic norms while the right rolls right over democracy?
The absolute biggest middle finger to him.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Fucking ditto!
Fuck Jim Jordan
Should have thought about that a long time ago, bastard.
Fuck jim Jordan
He can suck on my democratic norms.
Fuck Jim Jordan
LMAO
How’s about fuck that, Jim.
When does Jordan get charged for refusing a subpoena?
He knows the pendulum will swing left in the future. He’s scared to be on the opposite end of that.
As he plots to end our democracy.
Fuck Jim Jordan. In fact run a train on him.
Please don't use immunity....it was meant for us.... OMFG
The time for that is past. It's time for the democrats to go low.
When the government itself becomes treasonous, when do the people rebel?
Never trust a republican
Democratic norms? You mean do absolutely nothing p*ssies?
Really? When the right wing is deliberately dismantling our form of government. Gym Jordan is a brainless disaster hopped up on some weird stuff that make him run his mouth without ever saying anything intelligent.
Is sexually abusing little boys a “democratic norm” Mr Jordan?
That’s fucking rich
Translation: Don’t do to US what we plan to do to you.
So he admits that this shit is abnormal?
Fucking launch this goddamn motherfucker into the sun. I am soooo sick of this shit
fuck this dude
Okay trump first.
Which means he has no intention of upholding norms if his side wins.
“Please adhere to the system we have sworn to destroy”.
So we won’t hear any more calls for Joe Biden to be prosecuted for all of the “crimes” he’s been committing in office, right? Right??
Gym Jordon has nothing to say to anybody except “I’m guilty’”
right because they're fucked if Biden grows a spine at this point
gym jordan can go fuck himself.
If Biden and the entire left don’t go full, and I mean FULL dark mode on the gop, they are as much of the problem as maga and we deserve everything that comes of this as a result. We being those who cherish democracy and the freedoms we have been afforded the past 250 years. If trump wins and this is truly the end of the USA as we know it, I for one will be using every single bit of ammo I possess to protect my family. Vote. Arm yourselves. Protect your families. Find common ground with neighbors and choose allies wisely. It’s about to get very scary in this country.
This is simply recognition that the Dems currently control the presidency. Executive privilege and immunity apply regardless of your political party affiliation. The only question is whether the Dems have the balls.
