The House will only have to vote on removing Omar, not Schiff and Stalwell and the reason is because of the committees they’re on. The Speaker has the unilateral power to appoint 9 of the 14 members of the Rules Committee and ALL seats on Select Committees. The Intelligence Committee is a House Select Committee therefore McCarthy can remove Schiff and Stalwell even if Jeffries tries to fight it.
The 118th Congress is gonna be one big charade and was always going to be. >

They might as well change their dress code to red noses and rainbow wigs. >

It’s going to be a long and unproductive two years … >

“See, government is ineffective and doesn’t deserve any tax money.”
Demonstrating exaggerated incompetence and intransigence has been their strategy to rile people up against government-led and tax funded programs. They’re actually much more competent than they demonstrate, it’s just that displaying it would undermine their case for the rich paying no taxes. >

Honestly though... Look at BoBo, eMpTyG and santos/devolder/whatever their real name is, they might not be very competent... >

There’s definitely a mix. I do know that competence and morality don’t go hand in hand. If their goal is to sow mistrust in government, they are all extremely competent at that. >

… interesting that the Washington examiner wrote this… it’s conservative and the piece isn’t exactly flattering even while it makes some of the standard conservative talking points. >

Yes, nice point, and one of the reasons I choose to post the article. Makes one wonder what the next few years will bring in terms of changing the 99% polarization we have in politics atm. >

Well something has to be done to repair the division and it’s mostly going to take vocal people talking sense to their own members’ nonsense. Call it out on both sides from each side internally and maybe people will come to reason seeing no one in their camp o drama >

What both sides? The problem is in GOP. Hearing this “both sides” is irritating. It’s Crystal clear which party is acting like a bunch of bullies throwing tantrums. >

Yeah, it’s clearly one party that has gone completely off the rails in an effort to conserve power against representative democracy.
Democrats aren’t even progressive when compared to the left-of-center parties in the rest of the developed world. But at least they are slowly pushing towards norms of welfare and political representation that other countries take for granted.
Meanwhile the GOP just put supporters of the insurrection on committees, and is unable to censor members that regular associate with avowed white supremacists and fascists.
You can’t be serious about following American political history and claim both sides are equally bad. >

In fairness Republicans know nothing about governing. Just obstruction. There is not a single legislative objective other than giving the rich tax cuts, abortion limits or deregulation that they advocate for. >

It’s almost as if the party that complains how inefficient the government is and wants small government purposely vote in people who are shitty at their jobs because they don’t like big government snd then complain about the government being ineffective. >

Well Spartz, you could have found four friends and voted for Jeffries if you were interested in actual government, but I guess it's charades all the way down. >

She was born in Ukraine. She’s the epitome of a Republican voting against their own interests for obvious reasons >

We know how this will play out. Tribe with come out and call this person a RINO for defending people. >

The house will have to vote to remove these members.  Sounds like McCarthy already lost one vote.  If 4 more repubs resist McCarthy, those members stay on the committee.  Giving Matt "slappy" Gaetz his first chance to move to vacate the speaker.  Just a few days into this House and we are already there.
