Or are those two things synonymous? (Maybe he got a secret thrill out of it, who knows? He's definitely a sick fuck.)

sports on 10 linmbaugh stations. those are also jim jordan stations and probably many of the loudest in ohio. limbaugh leads the alternate reality

any discussion of how absurd it is for those sschools to keep supporting rw trump and selling global warming-denying radio will cause advertisers to flee

without those stations ohio gop is up shit creek

then the most benevolent interpretation is that he didn't care enough. He put his career above the well-being of his students begging for help. Looking the other way and letting the sexual abuse go on for years makes him a monster. He worked 8 years there and could have stopped it. Every victim that followed the day he got notified is on him.

who's supposed to be an good example to his charges, he's failed as a decent human being, he's failed as a adequate legislator, who's only successes at being a legislator is 'yelling' and 'screaming'. He's obviously watched too much 'reality TV', like rump does, and pretends like he knows what he is doing, when he obviously doesn't. Pathetic.

I've never heard any compliments on any serious legislation proposed by gym J.

Nor do I ever expect to ever see any decent or serious legislation either. He's proven himself to be thoroughly inept at the job.

Maybe he should go back to coaching, but then again, I don't want to subject any more young kids to his care, being that he's failed miserably here too.

... (not to say sanity) in his home district. I've been wondering about his re-election chances, along with Nunes. Does anyone know what's going on in Nunes' home district?

I sure wish the Holder/Obama campaign against gerrymandering could get more notice.

From the article linked in the OP: "Jordan, whose gerrymandered congressional district reaches into the Cleveland area,"

I would be so ashamed if the tables were turned, and the Democrats had such a rabid attack dog representing us in any investigation.

"When Jordan slithers out from under his rock each morning, dons a shirt and tie - sans the jacket, lest he be mistaken for Joe McCarthy - his life’s work is to besmirch everything America stands for in service of Donald Trump."

Due to gerrymandering, his district roams all over Ohio, but Jordan is actually from Urbana, a small town in west-central Ohio. He’s still quite the celebrity there. But I’m glad and not surprised that his Cleveland constituents are not pleased with him.
