The Jim Jordan Jim Jordan Investigation

I drew a lot of roughs yesterday and several of them were on Jim Gym Jordan and his attempt to become Speaker of the House. His run for the job was over in the afternoon thus eliminating every rough I had drawn on him from consideration. I’ll go ahead and share those with you in a blog of roughs either later tonight or tomorrow….or whenever. Who knows?

But that left me with a lot of other cartoons to consider for today which I did…and then pushed aside when I wrote this one. I’ve done a few cartoons on Jordan’s attempts, plural, to become Speaker. I did three and while the threat of him being third in line to the presidency was well worth attacking, his failure should be documented as well. If nothing else, let’s just celebrate.

No matter what the Republicans do, they can’t find anyone worse than Jim Gym Jordan, who is perhaps one of the most rancid vile disgusting lying troglodytes to ever slime through the halls of Congress. You may think that Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, or one of the other MAGA goons could be worse, but I don’t see any of those winning the nomination. Even if they did, a Republican caucus that rejected Jim Gym Jordan would never consider the likes of them. The greatest threat perhaps is Byron Donalds, who is a gaslighting piece of crap MAGAt liar in the Freedom Caucus, but I’m not sure even he could be worse than Jim Gym Jordan. That’s not to say he would be a truly and utterly horrible choice, but probably still not worse than Jim Gym Jordan.

Now, Jim Gym Jordan can go back to doing what he does best, which is sponsoring serious and legitimate bills on appropriations that land on the president’s desk. HAHAHHAHA. I had ya’ going there, didn’t I? No, of course, that’s not what Jim Gym Jordan does best because it’s not something he even attempts. Jim Gym Jordan has never sponsored a bill that made it to the president’s desk in the entire 16 years he’s been in Congress.

No. What Jim Gym Jordan does best is lie and conduct sham investigations that never prove anything. Quick! What did the Benghazi investigations prove? Jordan is currently investigating corruption in the Biden family and the “weaponized” Department of Justice. These investigations by Jim Gym Jordan are not meant to reveal facts or make positive changes to the government. They’re only designed to politicize. Kevin McCarthy, the former Speaker, even admitted it back in 2016 when he pointed out how the Benghazi investigation hurt Hillary Clinton’s approval ratings, even though they didn’t actually produce any evidence of wrongdoing by anyone.

Kevin McCarthy told Sean Hannity, “Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she’s untrustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened, had we not fought.”

The Republican House conducted six investigations into Benghazi and Jim Gym Jordan was a huge part of those investigations. These investigations cost taxpayers over $7 million just so Republicans could put a dent into Hillary Clinton’s numbers. And when did these investigations end? About a month after the 2016 election.

So we don’t need to just take satisfaction or mock Jim Gym Jordan’s failure to become Speaker of the House and third in line to the presidency, no. We need to celebrate it.
