Who is the schmuck smirking behind Coach Gym? He looks like he's waiting to be patted on the head and be given a bone for pissing on the leg of his master.

This isn't even hair splitting, it's turd smashing.

I should not watch, these people piss me off. Garland is not letting them trip him up, and they are getting weird about it.

They are outdoing themselves in being shitheads.

Jefferson Van Drew is in need of a distemper shot

He’s wound a little tightly.

He needs to lose the purple tie but it does match his face

He was pretty offensive.

Massie with the swing and a miss, those clips aren't the flex you think they are dipshit.

I wish some Dem would ask Gymbo "Are you aware of any time in US history that a vice president set an administration policy?" "Are you aware of any impeachment inquiries into alleged conduct that occurred prior to the subject of the impeachment inquiry taking office?" "Does a vice president have any legal authority besides as a tie breaker in the US senate?" Unfortunately, nobody gets to ask these GOP clowns any questions. I guess a Dem could ask Garland and achieve nearly the same effect.

“Are you aware of any time in US history that a vice president set an administration policy?”

Only in the job description cited by Sarah Palin.

Remember how many times she botched the question of what the job of VP is? 🤦‍♂️

I had forgotten that, blissfully perhaps.

Swalwell read Gym Jordan for the sniveling, corrupt weasel he truly is.

I refuse to watch anything Gym Jordan so this is nice to read.

I am outraged that Gym Jordan does not have the professional decency to wear a suitcoat! As chair of the committee, shouldn't he be upholding minimum standards of decorum? He is a disgrace to his district and to Congress!

(I apologize for this joke as I'm pretty certain it has already been made somewhere down-thread but I am too lazy to go look.)

No need to apologize.

Gym Jordan can never be on the receiving end of too much mocking and ridicule.

Carry on

Does Merrick Garland seem to have poor hearing? He does not appear to follow as well as he should. The Rs are disgusting, of course. If there's a hearing with David Weiss it will be a super shit show.

Do the hearings continue if the Republicans shut down the government?

They’ll be privately funded by Not A Russian Mob Account, LLC.

More performance art. Gym and his band of reprobates are going to audition the fuck out of shit for Fox News and the Sunday shows. The fundraising emails are going to start spamming people’s inboxes as the hearing rolls on and the interviews are going to get lined up before the day is done. Parody and farce, folks. Parody and farce.

"yet another fucking escaped coach trying to do a real person’s job"

I'm reading James Loewen's "Lies My Teacher Told Me" these days. He writes, "Some high school principals assign history to coaches, who have to teach something, after all. Assigning American history classes to teachers for whom history lies outside their field of competence obviously implies the subject is not important or that 'anyone can teach it.'"

In my high school, the football coach taught chemistry. I blew up the chem lab once. He actually called me at home over the summer and begged me not to take Chem II.

Good times.

Expand full comment

Makes sense. All my history teachers were coaches. And useless.

For three straight years of high school, our Health class was taught by the school's football coach. The only thing I remember from those classes were, "If you get an injury, put ice on it" and "If you catch VD, you can get a free penicillin shot at the local clinic."

So, pretty much what he also taught his players.

at my HS the coaches taught Drivers Education (in cars supplied by the school, no less)........they were actually pretty good at it, too!

and this was done in the 1980's at a North Carolina public school adjacent to a military base......you know, communist Canada

Yep, I got driver's ed from the football coach in mid-'70s NC.

My 9th grade Oklahoma History teacher was the football/girl's volleyball couch who was very good at assaulting his volleyball players. The only things I remember from that class was the Trail of Tears and the assault.
