In the order, Democratic Judge Ellen Ceisler wrote that none of the seven articles of impeachment against Krasner rose to the impeachable standard of “misbehavior in office.

[Loeje]

Can someone please explain to me why people keep voting for Jim Jordan?

[Nora Xent]

Can someone please explain to me why people keep voting for Jim Jordan?

Because he is a far-right extremist and they are also far-right extremists?

[San Lumen]

Can someone please explain to me why people keep voting for Jim Jordan?

They don’t want McCarthy to be speaker. I hope this goes ballot after ballot for weeks.

[Greater Miami Shores 3]

Can someone please explain to me why people keep voting for Jim Jordan?

From a Conservative Republican: Because Jim Jordan is an American Conservative Republican Patriot of the USA.

Don't they have Biggs for that?

We need a speaker for a functional government, so we should all hope that this goes quickly.

But he is a slightly DIFFERENT far-right extremist/

[The Black Forrest]

Can you name for us some of these "old-time family values"?

God, Manners, Nation, Hard Work, anti Abortion, Anti Illegal Drugs, Anti CRT Critical Race Theory In Schools, Colleges and Universities, Pro America First Foreign Policy. Pro MAGA. Pro Trump, Pro Ron DeSantis, Pro Ronald Reagan. President Ronald Reagan was a Gentleman, they don't Make them Like President Ronald Reagan Any More.

I never understood this need to return to the 50s. There are many problems with your “old fashioned family values”

For one thing. CRT wasn’t a thing so bringing it up is invalid. That is of course you want only the myths (ie the puritans in search of religious freedom, slavery wasn’t that bad, etc.). Still…

Reagan was an actor. He was good a presenting an image. He was highly flawed as well. Many of his staff was convicted/charged of various crimes. His handling of AIDs. The first massive job exportation….

DeSantis is not “old fashioned family values”. He is a bully by nature and is using the hatred fueled by the Trump era for his own gain. Still…he probably would of fit in the 50’s with his hate and rhetoric. He is basically a smarter version of trump…..well a little more smarter. Does he talk about being a member of SEAL team still?

Maga and trump are not part of the 50’s family values. In fact he would have been punished by those people.

Now as the rest of the list?

God - Why do we need to ratchet up homophobia and issues of interracial relationships? There was a great deal of hate in the name of God. It’s why people aren’t as religious as they are now. Bad priests were unknown and unchecked. The things that happened in their “care” facilities….

Manners - Yes. Your lot could really improve in that area. Owning the libs, the in your face views, etc., etc. You want to correct this problem? Clean up your house first.

Nation - Part of a free people is the ability to say your nation has done bad things. Why would you want that stopped? Do you want policing of bad comments? Trump does. I forget the General; he reported Trump asked about reactivating retired generals who wrote op-Ed’s criticizing him so they could be court martialed.

Hard Work - Are you actually suggesting that stopped? When I still had a job (thank you for the job loss Trump); I could have used 2 people. I could have had 3 but they had to be in India.

Anti-Abortion - Yup that was illegal back then. Still tell us how you support women by taking that away. Also, the rights women had in the 50’s? Are you delusional?

Anti-Drugs - You think there was no drug activity back then?

Seriously dude, study what you are talking about versus parroting comments of the RNC, Reagan and Trump. Actually did trump mention family values?

If he does respond it'll be something along the lines of "your facts and my facts are different" because he doesn't understand how debate works.

[Vassenor]

Does he talk about being a member of SEAL team still?

Was that DeSantis? I thought Jesse Ventura was the one who kept bringing up his past as a SEAL to deflect criticism.

[Thermodolia]

As of this point 17 republicans are refusing to vote for McCarthy. There’s no way this isn’t going to a second or multiple round votes

Wow, you read that entire post in under a minute? That's impressive.

Now let's see an actual response to it rather than a deflection.

[Thermodolia]

DeSantis will bring up the fact that he served with the seals but he’s not a SEAL himself.

I want it to go ballot after ballot for weeks. Democrats have said they will not help Republicans elect a speaker nor should they.

[Greater Miami Shores 3]

As of this point 17 republicans are refusing to vote for McCarthy. There’s no way this isn’t going to a second or multiple round votes

Those are protest votes, because they are tired of soft Republicans, giving in to the Leftist, Liberal, Democrat, Progressives.

[Loeje]

Don't they have Biggs for that?

But he is a slightly DIFFERENT far-right extremist/

Does anyone know why him and not the other two, though?

We need to be able to govern, so let’s not have the voting go on for weeks. Besides the Dems either need to put forth a candidate that could get bipartisan support or convince 5 moderate republicans to vote for Jefferies.

DeSantis was a legal advisor to SEAL Team One when he was in the Navy. Which seems like a weird thing to brag about.

Yeah how awful both parties work together for the greater good .

[Necroghastia]

OK, so how does teaching the kids that some people are gay and that’s OK do that?

There is a difference between teaching that some people naturally have homosexuality tendencies, and actively telling and or teaching children to explore their sexuality,

oh no! saying it's okay for kids to explore their identity???!!! What Ever Shall We Do?

or God forbid gaslighting them into thinking they're transgender That isn't anyone's business, and it shouldn't certainly be propagandized to the public.

good thing it's not a thing that happens at all then huh

Define “woke ideology” without resorting to weird buzzwords.

Atomization is a buzzword?

Attempting to separate individuals from all forms of traditional identity: family, community, sex, race, nationality, culture, history, religion, etc.

To atomize the person from their traditional support groups

except that that is literally what the people who call themselves "anti-woke" are doing? they dismiss people that have talked about historical and ongoing oppression within their communities and support each other through it, they view the mere existence of the queer community as "grooming," and by and large they can't stand anyone outside their own WASP bubble.

You’re living in fantasy land if you think Jeffries or any other Democrat is going to be Speaker.

Unless you like admitting that you had a hand in possible torture and war crimes
