Jim Jordan Does Not Have the Courage of His Convictions

"I don't think about things I don't think about" Questioning Marjorie Taylor Greene under oath

Jim Jordan does not have the courage of his convictions. Nor do any of the conspirators who sought to steal the 2020 presidential election, overthrow the government, and replace the Constitution with the rule of Trump. Even now we are still learning new information about how extensive the conspiracy was in the White House, the House of Representatives, the Senate, the media, and the family of the loser President. Who knows how much more we will learn before the House Select Committee begins to tell the story in public sessions in June?

JOHN HANCOCK VERSUS JIM JORDAN

One of the iconic legacies of the American Revolution is the signing of the Declaration of Independence by John Hancock. He was the first person to sign. He did not merely sign the document, he signed in large “font” so there would be no doubt. His bold action immortalized him in American culture. “Put your John Hancock here” became a way of asking someone to sign a document the way he had when what was becoming the United States declared its independence from Great Britain. King George III had no doubt what the Americans had done.

Let us imagine for a moment that Jim Jordan or any of the conspirators had the courage of their convictions … assuming they had any convictions beyond “winning isn’t the only thing, it’s everything.” Suppose Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, or Jim Jordan was to say something like:

“The election was stolen. We have mountains of evidence to prove that the election was stolen. We have not had the opportunity to present the mountains of evidence to Congress which has been collected in Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and elsewhere to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the election was stolen.”

Then just as the Declaration itemizes 27 charges against King George III, the conspirators would produce a report that:

1. names the names of the people who voted multiple times
2. names the names of the people who voted for dead people
3. names the names of the people who voted in districts not their own
4. names the names of the people who voted who were not American citizens or eligible to vote
5. names the election workers who counted Biden votes more than once
6. names the election workers who did not count Trump voters
7. names the voting machine companies who rigged the counting process
8. names the countries of foreign entities which manipulated the vote.

Strangely enough, the conspirators have produced no such document. They have had every opportunity on their own to produce a report document. So far only Pillowhead has done so when he revealed the secret computer code that had been used. Of course, he is being sued for everything he’s got.

At this point it is safe to say that none of the conspirators will proudly state what they did in an attempt to save the country.

WHAT HAVE THE GUTLESS COWARDS DONE?

Instead of having the courage of their convictions, what have the conspirators done instead?

Jim Jordan – By now the videos of him responding to questions about his phone calls to the President have made him a laughingstock. On more than one occasion, he has been asked about the phone calls he made on January 6. His responses have been compiled and show him as a person with something to hide and not doing a good job doing it. It is no wonder he has the nickname Gutless Jim Jordan. When you hear the word “gutless,” think Jim Jordan.

Kevin McCarthy – The last week or so has not been kind to the would-be Speaker of the House. He already has been ridiculed for the comparison of what he said in the House of Representatives just after the failed insurrection attempt that threatened his own life and him kissing the ring of his master in Florida days later. It has been known that he was on the phone with the President as the assault was occurring. Now we have the record of what he was saying to his fellow Republican House leaders as well. These conversations included Liz Chaney back when he was in agreement with her and wondering how to implement the 25th Amendment to remove the President from office.

Truth be told, I cannot help but wonder if The New York Times set him up for the kill. First it released the claim of what McCarthy said. Second it allowed him time to refute the accusations. Third, it released the tape exposing him as a liar. Now he has been revealed in a double dose of seditious dishonesty. The result has been the charge that he is a traitor and a liar. So when you hear him referred to as Kevin McLiar, you know exactly who is meant and why.

Marjorie Taylor Greene – No review of the Trump contortionists would be complete without reference to the Representative already renowned before being an airhead. Under oath, she claimed not to remember almost as many times as Roger Stone pleaded the Fifth. She does not even remember when her life was on the line and she was pleading not the Fifth but for help!

In response to her testimony, I could not help but think of one of the great court room exchanges in cinematic history based on real court testimony. In Inherit the Wind, Clarence Darrow is questioning three-time presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan on his expertise on the Bible. During the exchange about the lack of any priests to officiate at the marriages of the pre-Flood patriarchs (Gen. 5), Darrow exposes that Bryan does not have an answer for the questions he is posing. The following exchange ensues:

Matthew Harrison Brady (Bryan):
I do not think about things I do not think about.

Henry Drummond (Darrow):
Do you ever think about things that you do think about?

The audience laughs at the nonsense their former hero for what he has just said. I have always assumed that no one other than Bryan himself could ever say something so stupid under oath. I underestimated the airhead mind. For a member of Congress to fake having Alzheimer is something no one could have anticipated. Instead of being Marjorie Taylor Airhead, she has become Marjorie Taylor Alzheimer.

The willingness of members of the House of Representatives to twist themselves into knots on behalf of their Lord and Savior is staggering to behold. Undoubtedly there is more to come.

On The Morning Joe Show, they like to talk about how Trump is a loser. They like to talk about how he lost the presidency, the Senate, and the House, a rare trifecta of defeat in America politics. They like to talk about how the Loser especially contributed to the loss of two Republican Senate seats in Georgia thereby giving the Democrats the majority in the Senate. They also like to talk about the poll results in that state. The loser of one of those Senate races and handpicked candidate by the Loser Kingmaker for the governor’s race on the issue of the stolen election is being trounced.

What you do not hear being talked about on The Morning Joe Show is that McLiar, Gutless, and Alzheimer will be running the House of Representatives in just eight months.

Ninjas and the 2024 Presidential Election

Will John C. Calhoun be the real winner in 2024? (Portrait by George Peter Alexander Healy in Wikipedia)

America’s Third Civil War has taken some unusual and unexpected turns. My expectation as previously stated was that the 2020 Presidential Election immediately would lead to the Battle of Gettysburg. The forces of light would battle the forces of darkness in the battle of Armageddon for the future of the country. That is not exactly what happened and back then I had no idea what January 6 was.

When the post-election battle for America was engaged, it was different than expected. It was in one location and not nationwide. The forces arrayed on behalf of the Loser were smaller than I would have anticipated. Plus as bad as the assault on the Capitol was, the Trumpican insurrections did not achieve their objective of overthrowing the Constitutional Republic and replacing it with the Rule of Trump.

No office holders were executed in the attack. Think of how different the reaction might have been if the Trumpicans had hanged Mike Pence or executed Nancy Pelosi. Would the elected Trumpicans in the House and Senate still be as quick to gloss over the insurrection? Would Foxhub? We will never know.

NINJAS

The latest wrinkle in the Third Civil War has been the unleashing of ninjas to reverse the election results and restore the previous President to power. Their first battle is in Arizona. By using advanced ultraviolet technology not deployed in the previous audits of the votes and by tracking bamboo, the ninjas will determine that not only did Biden not win in Arizona, he lost by a huge amount. The fix was in.

The circus–is-in-town ninja audit does not change the facts of what they will claim they found. The possible DOJ interference if it comes will be too late. The ninjas are performing for an audience of one. That individual has expressed how delighted he is over the actions of these Patriots to expose the true lie of the 2020 election. He is counting the seconds until the moment when the ninjas go public and declare the election in Arizona stolen.

The announcement of this result will confirm what tens of millions already know. Whether or not the ninjas will name names, meaning identifying the people who should be prosecuted for perpetrating this fraud remains open. If the ninjas do not, then the Arizona Trumpicans will launch such an investigation to bring these criminals to justice.

The next battle in the ninja campaign to restore the rightful winner likely will be Georgia. Enthusiasm will be mounting as Trumpicans can see victory in sight. In Georgia, the ninjas will find the 11,780 votes that the Republican Secretary of State who needs to be replaced by a Trumpican could not find. Is there any doubt that the ninjas will be successful in not only finding those votes but even more as Biden truly lost the state in a landslide? Whether or not the ninjas will find the Senate votes were compromised too adds a twist to the campaign. Obviously the removal of two fraudulently-elected Georgia Senators would change the complexion of the Senate to the advantage of the Trumpicans right now. Ironically, at the same time as the ninjas will be reversing the Georgia vote, the prosecution of the former President in Georgia will be moving full speed ahead.

At this point, the ninjas will need only one more state to prove that the election was stolen. Exactly which one it will be will prove challenging. Meantime the Trumpicans will be in hyperdrive to finish the job. QAnon will be predicting total victory. The momentum will be unbelievable and the emotions off the chart.

REMEDY

Once the ninjas have exposed the truth of the stolen election then what? There is no doubt that the Loser expects to be returned to the White House now. Can states demand that the true winning slate of electors retroactively be counted in the Electoral College vote thereby reversing the results? There is no provision for that so the request will go to the Supreme Court. It is hard to imagine that it will rule to remove Joe Biden.

How about impeachment? The impeachment of the President is insufficient since Trumpicans do not want the current Vice President to become President now, in 2024, in 2028, or in midterm if the President resigns for health reasons. Besides if the President and the Vice President were removed that would make the Speaker of House the President. Trumpicans certainly do not want that now. Impeachment like the Supreme Court is not a viable option for the returning the Loser to the White House now.

But after the 2022 elections, Trumpicans expect a new Speaker. They take it for granted. So do many Democrats. Still there is no provision anywhere for the Speaker to stand aside to let a losing candidate become President. However, there is an opportunity for the Trumpican Speaker to impeach the Democratic President twice in 2023 and 2024. So what if it does not pass the Senate and he is not removed from office. He will have the stain on his record of having been impeached twice too. The Trumpican Speaker also can initiate investigations into the stolen election.

Realistically, there is no way the Congressional or Supreme Court level to reverse the election results. There is only one remedy for the ninja-revealed proof of the stolen election.

2024 REMEDY

The only remedy in the real world for the results of 2020 is the election of 2024. To those who say (as Michael Cohen does) that 2024 will not be a replay of 2020, I say they are wrong. First he will never leave the stage of his own free will. Second he will have all the proof he needs that he really won in 2020 and the election was stolen. Third he is a person of vengeance. He will be drooling in anticipation of pardoning everybody who is loyal to him, punishing those who are not, and becoming a three-time winner. He will use the stolen election idea as the theme of his candidacy.

So who will be the real losers of the successful ninja campaign to prove the election was stolen? All the soul-sellers who want to be the candidate in 2024 will find that there is no room at the top. The person who controls the Trumpican Party and has the stolen-election issue will be energized to run again. The soul-sellers will have to wait until 2028 at least.

There is a fly in the ointment. I am not referring to the ninjas failing to prove to the satisfaction of the Trumpicans that the election was stolen. I am referring to the 2022 elections. Suppose despite the voter suppression, the traditional loss of seats by the incumbent party in the midterm elections, the retirements, and the reapportionment, the Trumpicans do not seize control of the House yet alone the Senate? What happens if after over three years of anticipation, Kevin McCarthy discovers he sold his soul for nothing and still is out of power? Suppose Democrats follow the successful 2018 model and do not become the Diversity Party of all-race-all-the time? Unfortunately such results seem like a long shot. Still too early to tell but in America’s Third Civil War, Tom Friedman understates the gravity of the situation. The worst is still to come. I have expressed my fears that the United States as we know it will not survive to celebrate its 250th birthday. Expect John C. Calhoun to make a comeback no matter who wins in 2024.
