If Rep. Jim Jordan is your congressman and you didn't vote for him...

....my heart goes out to you.

They just interviewed him on CNN, and in one breath he claims there is zero evidence of any collusion with the Russians by the Trump campaign, all while the chyron below him literally is talking about Trump Jr. communicating with Wikileaks who published emails hacked by the Russians.

And in the very next breath he insists Mueller must recuse himself because of the Uranium deal.

The stupid, it burns!

In their own personal sex scandal. No one can be that evil without having dark secrets of their own.

Though I expect that foaming at the mouth is something he does frequently.

Trump is often staggeringly incoherent, but "the real damage isn't in how he says things, but from three key techniques that he uses to insulate himself from criticism and consequence," Oliver said: Delegitimizing the media, "whataboutism," and trolling. "Despite Trump's few real policy accomplishments to date, he has consistently achieved one thing, and that is making his enemies unhappy," he noted. "And for many Trump supporters, that itself counts as a major victory."
