The GOP will be investiâBenghazi!âsorry, they will be investigating theâBenghazi!âsorry, just a verbal tic.
Well, there goes another 7 million dollars down the drain.
I honestly canât stand these people. The false outrage and indignance is pathetic. Theyâll shut down government over the dumbest thing, putting thousands out of work! However, one protest and they act like the cliche of an elderly lady fainting. they are grown, small and petty children.
editedâsorry, in my rage I leave out stuffâŚmy brain works faster than my fingers.
Oh, god⌠yes, please!
Keep this story in the news cycle and ratchet it up by trying to have these people arrested.
Have you never heard of how civil disobedience and public symbols work? This was a cool story that most people forgot about by the weekend. There is no part of keeping this story on the news that is good for you. There is no part of trying to use the police to threaten, intimidate, or arrest Rep. Lewis that ends well for for you.
This guy faced off with the racist police in the 1960s South, where getting arrested was the nicest thing they could do to you. You think youâre going to scare him off with the House Sergeant-at-Arms.
But hey, you havenât totally shot yourselves in the foot, politically, since nominating Donald Trump, so I guess youâre dueâŚ
Please, please, please, please, please.
Democrats used cell phones and social media to post updates and stream video of the protest while the House was adjourned, which is not allowed.
This is actually what angers them the most.
Can they get around to investigating the Beirut Barracks Bombing and Ted Cruzâs filibullshitter.
âThe lengths the House Republican leadership will go to follow the NRAâs marching orders know no bounds,â Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said in a statement.
Thank you. End of discussion. Mic, fall to the floor.
Exactly what is there to investigate? It happened. It COULD happen again. The only thing to âinvestigateâ would be what, exactly, do the House rules allow in order to stop something like that?
Oh, and just btwâŚif the majority Republicans adopt new rules to stop a similar protest, what doors do they open for retaliation when they are no longer the majority???
McCarthy also told reporters that he has heard that House Democrats used âintimidationâ against staffers during the protest, according to The Hill.
Outrageous!!! Only the NRA and our sacred cows get to intimidate staffers.
They need to haul Tammy Duckworth up and make sure they grill her on her artificial limbs that she used to bring in the phone with.
There is no way at all that could backfireâŚ
Perhaps THIS is what they want to investigate. What, if any, House Rules allow them to retaliate or prevent another such occurrence? And if there are none, what Rules can they suggest?
edit: changed âweâ to âtheyâ in the final sentence. -DD
Most of them are furious because they are still using flip phones and havenât figured out how to textâŚhit 2nd button twice for âBâ, 3rd button thrice for âF.â
It takes a while for your brainâs messages to reach your long fingers on your large hands. (Unlike SOME twitter users we knowâŚ)
Oh holy sht. DO YOUR DAMN JOBS and stop the âinvestigationsâ. That is the only thing you spend money onâŚand then whine and snivel in front of the American people. Tell us AGAIN how the President, the Supremes, hell ANYONE âoverstepsâ their bounds and itâs really you congresscritters that should be doing x, y or zâŚâ and then donât do it.
"We expect members of Congress to adhere to the rules and decorum," McCarthy told reporters, according to the Washington Post."Hm. They haven't held their own to those expectations since Joe Wilson heckled the President in 2009.
What, run out of post offices to name?
âInvestigateâ it? I think we all saw the whole thing, and it happened right in front of you. Or, is this like the âsecretâ meeting between Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch that even random guys in south Georgia knew about immediately? Sure, âinvestigateâ away. Youâre useless for anything else.
