Look at how the left hates this guy. We must make this man the next Speaker of the House.

They really don’t want US to have a decent Speaker.

It’s not just the left that hates US, there are plenty of people who wear R jerseys that want to protect their 30 year bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders and the 30 million people they invited here against the will of the citizens.

A collegiate wrestler who claims he was molested by the team doctor is about as credible as UFC champion Conor MacGregor claiming that he was sexually abused by his accountant.

In point of fact Jim has not lost a drop of blood over this made up scandal. The very man making the most noise was in precisely the same position as Jim and did precisely nothing. Certainly there was nothing to report. The good Dr is accused of doctoring long after he was capable of defending himself. More trash from the trash brigade.

Congressman Jordan is our main speaker next Tuesday (7/17) at a fundraising dinner in Prince George’s County (to the north and east of DC). Certain elements suggested we reconsider and I led the faction holding fast. If you are in the area and interested in attending, I can give you information via Freep Mail.

There are so many things wrong with this slanderous character assassination written by josh marshall (who is obviously a leftist hatemonger) I don’t know where to begin...

Fake news with a vengeance.

I’d like to reserve judgement until I see light on the political background of those who making the claims and those who are urging the alleged victims to speak out, as well as those in the leftist media who are egging them on.

How many others were in the wrestling program who have made no such claims?

I trust JJ much more than DemonRat partisans who will go to not end to take him down.

When a Democrat is "under investigation" one representative of the MSM is designated to ask the question "Did you do/know it?"

The Democrat under investigation dutifully denies any involvement or knowledge.

Anyone who questions this light treatment is greeted with "Asked and answered."

Meanwhile Republicans are grilled by every MSM outlet. Every denial is viewed as a lie. Every report is viewed as an escalation of the "controversy" even though no new information is revealed.

The double standard is so obvious its a wonder the MSM has gotten away with it for so long.

Looks like we took Mark Coleman and his paid lies off the table for Lyin Josh Marshall, kiddie diddler & pizza boy Supreme.

I call it "The Media Death Star", like the weapon in Star Wars.

They park the weapon over the victim and fire up the planet-killing beam.

We first saw it deployed in a big way with Sarah Palin.

Before that, smaller versions had been tested numerous times.

It doesn't work on President Trump.   smiling face

They did the same to Tom Delay.

And gutless Republicans like McConnell let them get away with it.

That they didn’t launch this attack when he was doing hard questioning but only after rumors of him becoming Speaker came out tells us that’s what they really fear. They may have succeeded in killing his chances, depending on whether enough members of Congress cave.

I’d like to think our side could muster the courage, but who knows?

Now if we can just find a decent Conservative in the Senate that isn’t a glory-hound, disagreeing with Trump on every issue before voting for his policy anyway.

The Democrats and the media knew about the texts but chose to sit on them to use as an October Surprise. It all came out in the subsequent investigation.

Nope. Talk of Jim Jordan being speaker has been going on for months.

The attacks on Jordan started shortly after Jordan grilled Rosensnerd.

Fannie and Freddie were permitted by Demcrats to tank housing and 2 Republicans were outted as homosexuals.

Their culture of corruption talking point was summed up with a phony charge against Tom DeLay.

I call it the Star Wars-era "Media Death Star"...... they park it over the victim and fire up the planet-killing beam.

Very original. And I like your observation that it doesnt work on Trump....kudos.
