Rep. Tom Rice (R-SC) recalled House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) being caught off guard when the South Carolina Republican voted to impeach former President Trump for “incitement of insurrection” in a Washington Post report published Sunday.
Scalise is the one who hit the wrong button.
Prove me wrong.
Scalise and Grassley were on the “civility offensive” and wrote letters to the editor. In spring and summer 2018, voters all over the country filled high school gyms to tell republican reps and senators quite clearly that they were wrong. They wouldn’t hear of it. I guess telling the people that write their paychecks how it’s going to be is an example of GOP “civility.”
Scalise takes cash from the NRA, which promotes assault rifles. Scalise was shot with an assault rifle. Did Scalise press the wrong button?
Scalise co-sponsored HR 38 - the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017 on January 3, 2017. It passed December 6, 2017. This requires all states honor the gun permits of all other states. Scalise was shot in Virginia by a shooter from Illinois. So Scalise sponsored a law that would assist in shootings like the one he was caught up in. Oops he did it again - pressing the wrong button again.
Any shooting is, without qualification, a monstrous and cowardly act. In Scalise’s case, it also was Poetic Karma paying a visit.
ETA: Anyone making bad votes of Scalise’s magnitude should not be advising others of the right votes to make. Also - today Scalise on Twitter is using pretext to resurrect the story of his shooting. That particular shooter leans left, politically. Scalise makes no mention of AZ Rep. Gabby Giffords’ getting shot 10 years ago - and suffering far greater damage by a right-wing nut-job shooter. Scalise is no hero…
Steve “David Duke without the baggage” Scalise is a dyed-in-the-wool racist and bigot who dishonors the office he holds on an hourly basis.
Scalise’s strategy is to stand next to Kevin McCarthy and thereby look smarter and more competent at his job.
Also:
During campaign stops in his state last week, the South Carolina Republican played a video of conservative attorney Lin Wood, a Trump ally who emerged as a prominent pusher of the big lie, telling supporters that the military could still call on Trump “for the code if they need a first strike”
I wonder what color the sky is in Lin’s world. None of that is even remotely like how it works.
Wonder where this “first strike” is supposed to happen? Dick Chaney’s house would be a win-win.
Chaney, Cheney, whatever. One played a werewolf, one actually is one.
He doesn’t have any fucking code that works anymore. Fucking idiots!!!
Lin’s followers have no way of knowing that because stupid.
I think Trump’s “code” says “This program cannot be run in DOS mode”.
Trump? Oh yeah, right, that guy. He turned 75 today! Here he is in NYC yesterday, looking every damn day of it.
Lin is genuinely certifiable and the court that ordered his psychiatric exam refused to retract it. If he has followers I can only imagine that they are either crazy or unbelievably stupid or both.
The most bipartisan impeachment vote in US Congress history.
Eat it, Scalise.
He probably is nuts, the way he carries on, but there are an awful lot of people who almost certainly aren’t in any clinical sense but whose Trump-obsessed worldview is pretty comprehensively irrational. I’m not sure what to call that or if there’s a name for it besides obsession.
He must demonstrate an off the edge crazy for a federal court to order a psychiatric exam and refuse to go back on it. His law partners said that there is something wrong.
Otherwise I totally agree.
Didn’t Lin Wood move to SC? Does someone need to take a quick peek in SC and GA to see where he is registered to vote? And why hasn’t Wood been sued like Powell?
Oh how the ‘mighty’ have fallen if he’s in NYC and doesn’t have a tie on.
Inattention to grooming isn’t a good sign.
Naw. @brian512 knows more about the gov’t than to buy into that line of some super-secret code that switches out every hour or whatever.
It’s probably been “ILikeIke123” since 1954, and nobody’s ever bothered changing it because, as long as nobody actually opens the code cards, they never know if it’s been changed.
