and this is their first test. If you're going to save democracy you're going to have to offend some people, namely those trying to subvert democracy.

Anything legal, of course.

I've seen discussions that say a censure resolution could include, for example, being removed from committees. Anything that's within the power of the House.

Qanon see Pelosi as an evil devil so she would see being censured as displeasing the devil, a badge of honor.

the more that more people see who she is, the better.

No one is worse than the QAnon, white supremacist crazies!

Reacting is how we lose. They will keep us on a treadmill of reacting to veiled death threats.

Nancy Pelosi's GOT to add punitive measures to any censure activity and start with MT fuckin' G:
“The only way you get your freedoms back is it’s earned with the price of blood," she says.

AND Pelosi must get full, united enforcement from Capitol Police before someone really gets hurt.
Because it sure as fuck won't be OUR blood.

as far as I know. It takes 2/3 of the House to eject her and we all know the Republicans are cowards.
