Just a quick reminder that Jim Jordan, by total coincidence, is also the chairman of the Subcommittee on the Weaponisation of the Federal Government:

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Well someone has to make sure it's weaponized the "right" way.
They have a whole subcommittee deciding how best to weaponize the government?
He got the job because of his experience. He's a complete weapon himself.
That guy. They have to have something on him for him to be so incredibly obvious that he's one of the fixers in Congress.
It's not exactly a secret, there's a reason people call him "Gym Jordan".

But that's just it, everyone knows about it and hasn't done anything about it so it has to be more.
If no one in power stands up and challenges them they will continue to do whatever the hell they want.
50% of "conservatives" don't seem to give a fuck about rule of law unless it benefits them.
If someone is breaking the law regardless of political affiliation they go to court, and if they are found guilty they go to jail.
If we cannot agree on this one thing we are circling the toilet bowl and everyone with half a brain should get out of this country, I hope the rich fucks perpetuating this have some clarity when they are the next target.
