Jim Jordan is not far right, unless you consider the far left “middle of the road” like you do yourself.


Your definition is really off then as I expected.

Sorry, I deal in facts not opinion.


There are over 160 Rs more conservative in the HoR than Jordan by most objective measures

FYI, the far right wing of that list only Gaetz in the top 25 is someone who is well known/prominent.


At least 5 in the top 25 liberals are well known on MSNBC routinely.

I think you are missing a large part of the House Republicans that parrot crazy conspiracy theories, QA theories, and that the 2020 election was not legit. Those people are far right and more mainstream now. They are just as bad as the squad, and are routinely on Fox. 

I mean I consider Jim Jordan far right and he is on Fox all the time. 



Jim Jordan is just a regular guy that speaks out against the deep state illegally spying on innocent Americans, which is exactly what every real American agrees with. 



Take care.

The progressives are such delusional pussies. If you need counseling over an open and shut self defense case, maybe rethink your entire existence.

Will they also be sending out emails and statements condemning the guy who mowed down grannies and kids in the Christmas parade, and offering therapy and safe places for those who need help processing?

There's an alternate universe somewhere where they would be sending emails out saying "Rittenhouse was attacked by 3 felons from out-of-town who came to riot over the justified shooting of Jacob Blake, who had had a warrant for sexual assault and was attempting to kidnap three kids"

Maybe don't lecture us on "civil discourse" when you don't have the courage to correct misinformation.  Are you really creating safe spaces for people with hurt feelz over fake news?

And just as expected, there is a cottage industry of professors explaining how calling gangs of black people smashing into department stores and stealing "looting" is racist.

Isn't one of the basic premises of institutional/systemic racism is that it's hidden?

So won't canceling people and debate simply result in more hidden racism?  I don't see how changing the meaning of words, or telling people not to use words, educates or changes attitudes.

Definitely feels like woke-ism has jumped the shark.

There was an article from one of those Lifehacker sites, talking about how they'd been following the trial that could bankrupt white supremacy.

I think it's about two dozen "leaders" involved with Charlottesville.  And like half of them were either already incarcerate, or no longer affiliated with the groups.  So the "white supremacy movement" might not be much of a thing, which sounds about right.  Kind of like you never heard "alt right" until a few months before the 2016 election.

I mean, the Proud Boys seem mostly like a group of lowlifes that like to go to Antifa rallies to fight other lowlifes.

Alec Baldwin really going with the “I didn’t pull the trigger” defense. Sounds like he’s trying to avoid civil suits. Not only did he have to pull the trigger, on a single action revolver you also have to cock it first.

Those self-targeting, self-shooting guns are flying off the shelves.

Alec didn't kill anyone, the gun did.

Alec is a POS and always has been. There’s no way a gun could fire in that circumstance unless he pulled the trigger. He might be going for more the civil suits because the script didn’t call for him to pull the trigger.

That productionwas terrible.  The dramatic music, lighting, soft spea was so staged.  Whoever decided to put him on there is a POS for sure.

So the parents of the recent school shooter both get $500,000 dollar cash bond with no 10% cash out and the 18 year old kid that shot 4 people in his school got out on $7500 bond the next day.


The legal system in this country is going into the shithole quickly.

Only thing comparable Sigs can do for me that my lowly Glocks can't is take more money out of my pocket. 

That said, using the words style and Glock together doesn't make much sense.

They had hired a lawyer and that Lawyer had reached out to law enforcement and the DA.  They were trying to negotiate them coming in and they would not talk to them.

They abandoned their car and were hiding. They weren't doing shit besides buying time.
