Crazy is subjective. Are you crazy? I believe you are. But I bet you disagree.I can say the same about Ilhan Omar. Who are you or I to tell the voters what to do or call them crazy? You're definitely a leftist.Stripping them until they even get to a committee? She was voted in for a reason. You do this and if the GOP captures the House in two years, people like Swallowswell will be on the street too. VERY BAD idea but cancel culture party Democrats or the DCCP...is well on its way to silencing those they disagree with.That is precisely what it is as the plan from cancel culture Democrats is to keep her away from any and all committees.The problem is her constituents voted her in so she has authority. Ilhan Omar is an overt antisemite and awful human being but she has every right to sit in Congress since she was VOTED in!Bad precedent to penalize Greene.
Sent to my congressman:
I fear penalizing congresswoman Greene for anything done or said prior to being accepted as a member of the House would set a bad precedent. I urge you and your fellow members of congress to consider her activity only after having joined the congress. Respectfully, Supposn
I tend to agree. Not because I support what she said or did...it's all bat-shit crazy stuff as are her supporters. But, what happens is that whenever a majority uses it's authority in some new way, the moment the other major party gets that authority, they ratchet it upward. Pelosi will be kicked off every committee in 2022 if the GOP gets the house? The reason? Spite.
Just let her sit there and ask her questions for 5 minutes during the meetings. If she tries to co-sponsor a bill that you introduce...you tell the secretary that you don't want her name on your bill. Just marginalize her. She will probably serve 80 years in the House or whatever... big deal.
Its not a problem... Both MTG and Omar and Gromert or whatever that jerk's name is have every right to be there. The Dems are making a mistake by taking this action. Pass a resolution condemning her...sure. But just ignore her otherwise.
The argument isn't that they shouldn't be there.
Which doesn't stop her from being there. Stripping people from their committee assignments isn't all that uncommon. It' doesn't happen a lot but it does happen.
If she was elected for her crazy, well good luck with that.
I have noted for months that the (D)'s would lose the House in 2022. I am now hedging that claim because the GOP is backing even more crazy.
Republicans are going to have to build a record of Excellence on their own to win in 2022, now that they have purged Trump with their vote for Liz Cheney.
Frankly, I don't see that happening.
It hurts but Pelosi has lost seats both times she was speaker. For some reason the GOP has decided to help her out here.
It is sort of goofy for the GOP to attack the Trumpster, at least before they have someone else who has a record of accomplishment who is ready to lead.
Attack Trump? The argument is to recognize crazy and don't put crazy in leadership roles.
Believing wild fires are started by lasers in space is crazy. There is no subjective there.
