What racist statements did she make?
lol, McCarthy said "Integrity matters more" about keeping Schiff and Swalwell off the Intelligence Committee. Looks like Kevin forgets that Devin Nunes was once on that committee. >

That's the guy was getting his instructions from Ma's cow? >

indeed, also the guy who was hand delivering intel to the Trump White House while on the committee investigating the president. >

Not just hand delivered.... He literally ran over to do so >

He also hid in a White House bush while running. >

Proposing to slash Social Security and Medicare and insert a blanket 30% tax on everything to pay for the deficit your boy left us with that will kick the shit out of the middle class might not be the flex (R) thinks it is. >

They will find a way to blame the social security and medicare theft and higher taxes on Biden. >

And the uneducated voters will eat it up.  They don't look at cause and effect, merely an opportunity to point the finger at whoever is president.  The US could suffer a nuclear attack five minutes after inauguration and they'll immediately say it must be the new guy's fault. >

If he wasn’t so weak they wouldn’t have attacked. >

they will attack no matter who it is, as long as its a dem. "weakness" does not factor. >

I think they meant the GOP response to said hypothetical would be to say that if the new POTUS wasn't weak, the striking nation wouldn't have attacked. Not that the GOP only attacks weak people. >

Yea I hear this all the time re: Ukraine. “Russia never would have invaded if Trump were president, but Biden is weak so they were bolder” >

A couple folks in the GOP have principals and a spine…who would have thunk it? >

They see a weakling so they are going to all withhold support in order to get favors. McCarthy can't do anything to stop them from doing that. >

At this point I wouldn't be surprised to see McCarthy enthusiastically gargling balls on the House floor to stay in power. >

That's what George Santos demanded actually. >

Was this before or after he won the Kentucky derby? >

It was before the derby but after he lit the Olympic torch. >

Aw, are some people with zero integrity afraid of the same happening to them?
Yes. The idea that integrity motivates anyone in the GOP is a joke. >

They're not defections, they're flanking maneuvers. >


flanking maneuvers

"Why are you flanking me?" >

Wind River is such a great movie. >

Is that the 2000 western drama or the 2017 crime drama with Jeremy Renner? >

crime drama in montana snow, natives, hicks, Elizabeth Olsen >

Love the description. Yeah, that looks a bit to intense to watch before bed. Got it on my list tho. >

Jon Bernthal, too, if you like him. >

If they see Omar as inflammatory and that could get them votes, they don't really want her off the panel. >

This is what happens when you're a 14 time loser, Kevin CuckCarthy
Edit: corrected 15 to 14 and grammar. >

15th round draft pick. >

Well, as wrong as it is, it's only going to be this session of Congress before Dems take it back. Spending more time with her constituents, and less time in these kooky republican puppet show hearings may work out better. >

As much as I hope you're right, I'm fearful that between the rampant gerrymandering and upcoming decisions on Moore and Merrill, Republicans have set themselves up to win. >

Republicans’ most solid voting bloc is old angry people. The last cycle showed COVID and father time have thinned the herd. There will be even less in 2024, and new Republicans aren’t replacing the dying ones enough to make up the difference. >

What is the public reason the GOP is giving for keeping Omar off a committee? >

He says it's her anti-Semitic and anti-American comments. Oddly enough he has no problem with certain members who have openly denied 9-11, incited an insurrection...Also IIRC many of her comments are anti-Israel and not anti Semitic per say. I'd imagine that if most in the US knew what Israel gets up to they'd have questions about our relationship with them. Many times I feel like AIPAC could legitimately get more than half of congress to sing a pledge of allegiance to Israel at the start of each week >

All of her comments that have been called antisemitic are ones that have either been critical of Israel or critical of organizations like AIPAC spending big money in US elections to influence our foreign policy with regards to Israel. The real irony here being that purposefully conflating the Israeli government with Judaism as a whole just perpetuates the incredibly antisemitic trope of Jewish dual loyalties. >

I read that as "defecations".  Didn't even phase me. >

There's precedent. >

Yeah, I just thought the House would have been fully cleaned since then. >

Checks swamp - nope, still full. >

It’ll be an amazing day when McCarthy is removed as speaker. Guy is a clown. >

I predict that day will come in the next 5 months. >

No one else wants to try to govern the ungovernable. >

Meh he might get the result he wants after he as the house vote on it about 10 or 12 times >

Almost as if he was always going to be a laughing stock of a speaker after that farce the other week and should've probably stepped down after the first few votes >

Thanks to his concessions, she can start a motion to vacate the chair in response. It’s not helpful or productive, but it’s a nice way to further torment McCarthy if he wants to play stupid games. >

Surely this isn't related to her being one of three Muslims in Congress. Right? >

perfect, the gop self-destruction continues >

McCarthy is beholden to about two dozen political  nihilists who have no interest in governing, while the more moderate (and/or rational) members of his conference are already sweating about what the 2024 Congressional elections are going to look like if this Klown bus keeps rolling. >

Let's review, Kevin Jell-O  McCarthy removes Schiff and Swalwell from committees because he said they lied . But then says George Santos needs to go through the ethic committee before he can be removed >

“If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties-someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal", then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.”
― John F. Kennedy, >

You want to get people to defy you consequence free as soon as possible so they get used to doing it. The best way to establish dominance is to get immediately put on your back >

Hey kev - think about America instead of yourself for once. Keep Omar, Schiff and Swalwell. >

Hey McCarthy, be a leader for the people not a puppet for Trump. >

Is this a plan to destroy the economy in order to deny rep Omar on the panel >

So...what happens if someone calls the snap vote and McCarthy gets voted down? Start the process over? >

She out to be Jailed >

Ought was the word you were looking for. >

Omar, AOC, Gaetz, MJT - no radicals belong in congress let alone on critical committees. >

After her racist statements in the past she should t even be in office let alone be on a panel
