Fani Willis’ lawyer has told House Judiciary Committee chairman, Jim Jordan, to calm down and take an anger management class.
The letter also suggests that Jordan, a Republican and a close ally of former President Donald Trump, was as hypocritical as a skunk who tells a possum that his breath stinks.
Willis is prosecuting Trump on felony charges of attempting to illegally overturn the results of the 2020 election, which he lost to President Joe Biden. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and has repeatedly said the case is part of a political witch hunt to derail his bid for the White House next month.

“I am just a country lawyer, unaware of the ways of Washington, D.C., but I must comment on your statements regarding obedience to subpoenas lawfully issued by committees of Congress,” Barnes added, while highlighting what he claimed was Jordan’s hypocrisy.
“I notice that you were issued with a subpoena of the committee of Congress, which investigated the January 6 insurrection against the government of the United States of America. You failed to appear before that committee. I therefore find your protestations regarding a normal citizen obeying subpoenaed to be somewhat hollow,” Barnes wrote.
lmao got 'em. Seriously, though, how in the hell did Jim Jordan never end up in jail for pulling that crap. I’m getting really sick of the rules never applying to Republicans.
Oh man I love the “I’m just a country lawyer…” bit… Made me think that it was literally a quote from Futurama at first lol.
Then made me think of Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer,
Ladies and Gentleman of the jury, I’m just a Caveman. I fell in some ice and later got thawed out by your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me.

And fuck Andy Dick (not in a good way)!
In every not good way, really. Let’s be clear.
This was immediately where my mind took me… Hilarious!!
Jordan is a spineless traitor.

The rare southern insult you can repeat in polite company
I recommend he fuck off and die.
After everything that has happened, I find it unreal that the orange actually has a 50-50 chance of getting reelected. There’s something seriously wrong with this country.
Thanks again, Reagan
I mean, the country voted him in.
Reagan or trump? Cuz trump never got the popular vote.
In the end, you either won the election or you lost.
Sort of.
The Permeant Apportionment Act of 1929 has reared it’s head again to fuck us. See, before that little bit of legislation, the size of congress and thus the size of the electoral college, were closer in line with the actual population, making it much harder to win via the electoral college and yet not the popular vote.
A) 100 years ago. B) there’s no “sort of” about it. You either won the election or you lost.
No. That is, at a guess, one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent blurt were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in here is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may Baphomet spank you like you like it.
The country was wrong
Slightly more than 50% in fact.
No, slightly under, but it’s still too close
Last I saw, it’s slightly under 50% of expected voters, which notably doesn’t include all people or even all registered voters. Worrying regardless though.
Yeah just depends on the polling. The large pulling aggregators – 538 and Silver Bulletin – both have Trump over 50% to win. It upsets people, so they often downvote the information, but it’s just where the aggregators (and betting markets) are at the moment.
The discrepancy you’re noticing might be the difference between EC vs national polling. Nationally polling is related to winning, but the EC is what actually determines the winner. The post I’m responding is talking about the likelihood of winning the election not opinion polling.
Oh yeah, I misread. I came back to this post after I put my phone down and assumed the 50% was popular vote, not victory. Yeah, it’s about a 50% for the EC.
It’s only the rich that matter. They chose who wins
After dealing with “anger issues” for most of my life and then the “anger” transforming into crying fits after starting my transition, I have concluded that it was never anger.
It’s panic.
In people socialized as men it is unacceptable to panic, so we get angry instead to displace the panic into a more socially acceptable masculine expression.
But instead of treating the panic attacks, men are just expected to control their anger. Even though the anger is, itself, a way to cope with panic and so it can’t be controlled without addressing the underlying cause.
Anger management, therefore, is treating symptoms and not the cause. Instead he probably needs anxiety meds.
But I am not a psychologist/psychiatrist.
Anger management, therefore, is treating symptoms and not the cause. Instead he probably needs anxiety meds.
This is a broad, over-general statement. Not everyone experiencing anger control issues is suffering from the same experiences that you did. I’m happy that you were able to come to terms with your own problems, but dismissing anger management classes as “treating symptoms and not the cause” is not fair. Some people do benefit from them even if you didn’t.
I just strongly suspect that anger management issues are a common misdiagnosis of anxiety and panic, not just based on experience, but based on the way gender norms obscure and distort men’s feelings. It doesn’t help that men also tend to avoid getting help, due to those same gender norms.
I don’t disagree and I’ve seen it many times, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if it’s something else. He seems indignant at people challenging him
I am extremely anxious by default unless I am able to fully control my environment (remove stressors) and converting anxiety to anger is the only way to turn that energy into action, unless an intermediary is present that understands my context. Anger isn’t a pure negative, and it can be useful at times.
On the other hand, it’s hard to steer it and let go of it once you get locked in. Additionally, many stressors can’t be fixed by direct action and that will just stress out everyone else who has to be around you without reducing the original problems.
Yeah, in prison
Yeah, it’s unconscionable that he was elected after what he did at Ohio State.
What’s scarier is that trump might 36-up him in November.
Gym Jordan is also most likely a racist. Anger and racism are basically married. Especially when it comes to black people prosecuting rich WASP whites.
not entirely true, I’m not racist but I’m always angry.
Most likely?
You’re probably right, but got any evidence besides guilt by association?
Lets just cut through all the denying here and why don’t you tell us what you would need for proof.
Mainstream news article quoting racist statements or policies.

How’s that, enough? Need more?
Thanks!
Mental disease makes people unable to process emotions. They often lash out in anger.
Ohio keeps electing Gym Jordan. Are they trash because they live in Ohio or is Ohio trash because they live in Ohio?
Skibidi Ohio 🤮
Ohio is as Ohio does, Jennay.
