Jim Jordan Ends John Dean's Career


John Ward
Published on Jun 13, 2019

Ohio congressman Jim Jordan is notoriously bad at "not winning." After quad-peating High School state wrestling championships and double-burgering the national championship in college (beating future 2-time Olympic Gold Medalist and 4-time World Champion John Smith in 1985), he went ahead and got a Masters and a JD and just sort of casually went about being elected to the United States Congress.

It was here, in 2019, that Jim Jordan was forced to waste the entire country's time - again - while the Democrats paraded out another criminal "expert" to wash down Michael Cohen's Seven-Lie-Spectacular. This time it was John Dean, the for-real ACTUAL GUY WHO STARTED THE "____GATE" TREND with Richard Nixon's infamous Watergate Scandal. John Dean, ostensibly there to testify because of his expertise on "obstruction of justice," was literally arrested for and convicted of obstruction of justice, much as Michael Cohen was supposedly an expert on lying to Congress after - you know - lying to Congress.

Naturally, Jim Jordan had a few thoughts.

...'cause they can barely fly?

It's probably better to get an assessment of how the plane flies from the horse's mouth than the horse's ass.

F-35: What The Pilots Say

Firsthand accounts of flying the world’s most advanced fighter.

...The F-35 is better [than legacy aircraft], but not a lot better. But those ways to measure an airplane are not nearly as relevant now as they used to be. They’re not irrelevant, but they are not as important as all the other qualities that you should be measuring an airplane by...

- The first non-test pilot to fly the F-35, Berke commanded Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 502 at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina. He is the only Marine ever to have qualified to fly the F-22 Raptor and served as the F-22 division commander at the Air Force’s 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron.

Putin says U.S.-Russia relations are getting 'worse and worse'

MOSCOW (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said relations between Moscow and Washington were getting worse and worse, noting in an interview published on Thursday that the current U.S. administration had imposed dozens of sanctions on Russia.
Putin made his gloomy assessment ahead of a G20 summit in Japan later this month at which he might meet U.S. President Donald Trump.

U.S.-Russia ties remain strained by everything from Syria to Ukraine as well as allegations of Russian interference in U.S. politics, which Moscow denies.
"They (our relations) are going downhill, they are getting worse and worse," Putin told the Mir TV channel, according to a Kremlin transcript.
"The current administration has approved, in my opinion, several dozen decisions on sanctions against Russia in recent years."
The Russian leader contrasted Moscow's troubled relationship with Washington with what he described as its blossoming ties with China, a deepening strategic friendship that has alarmed some U.S. policymakers.
Trump told reporters on Wednesday that he would meet Putin at the G20 in Japan, but the Kremlin said a day earlier that the idea for the meeting was "hanging in the air" and that there were no discussions on specifics yet.
Trump said on Wednesday he hoped the United States would have "a great relationship with Russia," but pledged to deploy 1,000 U.S. troops to Poland, a step sought by Warsaw to deter potential aggression from Russia.
In another move certain to rankle with Moscow, Trump said on Wednesday he was considering sanctions over Russia's Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline project and warned Germany against being dependent on Russia for energy.
Putin, who has spoken out in favor of China in its burgeoning trade war with the United States, said in the same interview that he hoped for smoother ties with Washington despite the current trajectory of their relationship.
"...We really hope that common sense will prevail in the end," said Putin.
"That with all of our partners, including our American partners ... we can reach some decisions in the framework of the forthcoming G20 that will be constructive and create the necessary stable conditions for economic cooperation."

But, but I thought Trump was Putin's Biatch :)

Sanctions must be stinging Russia pretty good for him to whine about them, here's an idea get out of Ukraine maybe the sanction pressure will come off
