[Ohio Joe]

1. Repugs are officially the party of qonspiracy

They are a disgrace. Hang it around all their heads.

[ouija]

13. She gone

[SergeStorms]

27. Not gone...

just removed from her committee appointments. Unfortunately she still has a seat in the House of Representatives.

[iluvtennis]

44. I know...but this is all they could do without a two-thirds Yay vote in the House. nt

[Hortensis]

47. Yes. Her constituents will be represented by

her votes on bills and other items that come up for general decisions. And she’ll continue to be paid and will have plenty of free time to try to make more bad trouble.

[SergeStorms]

54. Well...

at least she's not wasting her time and the taxpayer's money. Right?

[Hortensis]

55. That'd be nice. More likely she'll be sending out selfies reporting

on the "Islamic invasion" of government office, and of course all the Satan-worshipping pedophiles. Since she's there. Lots of offices in DC. It'll provide an unending stream of famous people to follow and harass.

Even without work to do, she's likely to be busier than a mosquito on a nude beach. And as welcome.

[Sneederbunk]

2. Ladies and gentlemen, we got her.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. 11 Republicans with a spine....

That speaks volumes.

Kevin McCarthy is no leader. The pressure will be on him from now on.

[soldierant]

30. Sadly, none in my state ...

not that i expected any (we have, from west to east, Boebert, Lamborn, and Buck However, we also have 4 Dems.)

[ShazzieB]

32. It kills me when I hear someone refer to him as Leader McCarthy.

I always hear it like "Leader" McCarthy. Because he is anything but a leader!

[samnsara]

4. what exactly does that mean? can she just be put on other committees?

..or does she just sit in her office for the next few years drawing a paycheck for hanging out on FB....

[underpants]

9. No committees. Nothing to show in 2 years but given her district that may not matter

She’s a rock star and she’s theirs. Part of her district tried to secede from both the US and Georgia.

[Traildogbob]

16. She will run for Georgia Senate

Seat after two years sitting in Gubment housing on gubment WiFi spreading hate and lies and threats, and getting paid while raising millions for her campaign. With Georgia’s all out assault on voting now, she will beat Warnock in the mids. God bless MurKKKa and the QOP.
All this IF she does not assassinate Congress Women for her terrorist suppprters.

[wnylib]

22. Wow. It really is true that some DUers

are pessimistic downers.

2022 will be hard enough without throwing in the towel before it gets here.

[Traildogbob]

28. No

Not a downer, just a realist, that believes we have to work even harder for mids, cause we never do. She raised over 320 thousand dollars last night alone. Georgia is already in all out war after 2020 losses to destroy voter rights. She WILL be the next Trump style superstar. And we thought him winning was impossible. Just saying these mids and fighting the Fox, Q, and the Extremist machine is gonna take all we have. I believe in Stacies fight, but look at the Q idiots already elected. They HAVE to be ended. Only 11 thought Gang Greene should be sit down. You can believe she wants more power and so does her cult.

[soldierant]

36. Warnock is a superstar in his own right.

Yes, we eill have to work our butts off. But we can do that.

[Hortensis]

48. Agree. In wnylib's world he couldn't be elected.

[wnylib]

37. I am a realist, too. Realism is too often equated

with negativity. A year ago, a "realist" would have said that it was impossible to get two Dems elected as Senators from Georgia or for a Dem presidential candidate to win Georgia, let alone for both things to happen.

A realist assesses the problems and obstacles that exist, decides how to tackle the problems, and gets to work doing it. An unexpected win is just as "real" as an expected loss.

Your first post did not say what the opposition will TRY to succeed at. It said what they WILL succeed, as if it were a done deal. A realist would say, "This is what they are doing now, and what they will TRY to accomplish with it. But it's not done yet and here is how we will throw obstacles at them, brainstorm, and counter them with our own efforts. It's hard, but we must do it, and there is still a chance that we can succeed."

Same with defeating the nutwing fascist terrorists. It
will be hard, take constant vigilence and strong actions, but we must and will do it.

[Traildogbob]

42. Well stated.

Her as a poster child of the GOP can be their downfall. Pretty sad that Romney and Cheney voted to let her proceed. This cancer, as even Mitch described her, is spreading throughout. I DO believe if President Biden continues doing what 65-75 percent of the country is in favor of, voters will put this minority cult in their place.

[Mme. Defarge]

5. Hope this doesn't trigger her.

Then again ...

[DURHAM D]

6. So I assume Liz Cheney kissed her on the mouth. nt

[whathehell]

17. Uh, no.

[frazzled]

7. What's she good for?

Absolutely nothing.

I guess she can still vote.

[JohnQFunk]

8. And here I was hoping for hearings about...

… Jewish space lasers.

[bucolic_frolic]

10. Liz Cheney? The almighty principled one?

Nope. Didn't vote to strip MTG of committee assignments.

[dhill926]

11. conspicuous by her absence here....

[EndlessWire]

12. I guess she didn't see

Greene stroking Trump's cardboard cock...

[demtenjeep]

14. who did not vote?

why?

[Andy823]

15. Now they need to move her office

down in the basement.

[smirkymonkey]

40. And take away her red stapler.

Wait...maybe not.

[aggiesal]

18. Since MTG has no honor, she will wear this as her badge of honor and campaign to raise more money...

She's already doing this

[Mr.Bill]

19. I'm betting McCarthy gave some people in purple districts

permission to vote yea because he knew he wasn't going to win this one. He royally screwed this one up. He's probably thinking right now "What the fuck just happened to me?"

Not exactly Speaker of the House material.

[lisa58]

20. Chris Smith?????? New respect - seriously don't like that guy

[Klaralven]

26. Anti-abortion is his only issue.

[SergeStorms]

31. I'm against abortion myself...

but it's not my choice. I fully support a womans right to choose, not a bunch of old white men choosing for her. He's anti-choice, and he thinks it's still his decision to make. Anti-abortion and anti-choice are two different things. That said, I understand what you meant, I just think we should be perfectly clear in stating what we mean. Zero ambiguity.

[ShazzieB]

34. I am firmly pro-choice, and I appreciate people like you.

I respect people who respect other people's right to choose. People who think they should have the right to make such an important choice for complete strangers whose lives they know nothing about really grind my gears.

[lisa58]

51. True

[djacq]

21. Republican Bob Good (VA-05) has now endorsed Qanon

VA-05 has a problem with a racist political extremist and his name is Bob Good;

Charlottesville Dems Call For Rep. Bob Good (R-VA05) to Resign, Saying He “Emboldened” “White Supremacists” Who Attacked the US Capitol

Virginia NAACP: “Representatives Ben Cline, Bob Good, Morgan Griffith, and Robert Wittman…must directly respond to the Black Virginians they represent”

Bob Good has got to go.

[NYC Liberal]

23. 199 Republicans voted to keep this nut job on the Education & Labor Committee

[Tommymac]

24. Not ONE from the Deep South. Dixie is rising again. For REAL.

This is sickening.

Fucking Confederate White Supremacist Jim Crow fucktards.

We fucking whomped them in 1865, made them cry mommy, and burned their states to the ground.

I guess we may have to whomp them again (legally) and (legally) take down their racist seditionist churches, militias, social clubs, gun clubs, and media towers.

Only this time we should also salt the earth itself wherever racism has been pulled out by the roots.

Apologies to the sane good people in that region, you are real Americans and do speak out about injustice and racism.

The rest of you who are Silent Sams, you are enablers so fuck you too.

[bdamomma]

50. They are talking about

succession from the United States, Georgia should flush the turd down the toilet.

[Tommymac]

53. I guess not all the deep south is unrepentant.

Georgia is certainly a breath of fresh air, the majority there seem to be sane.

A journalist on Lawrence O.'s MSNBC show said she has spent the last week in the Green One's district. She said a lot of people from both parties there are fed up with her too.

Unfortunately, they voted for her so I do not feel sorry for them. Make amends in 2022 G-14. Until then that district is guilty guilty guilty.

[SergeStorms]

25. How's that for a Qancel Qulture, GOP?

The most vile, pig of a woman in government, gets her Qomeuppance. Words and actions have Qonsequences, republiqans.

[tinymontgomery]

29. Tom Rice had the courage to vote for impeachment but lacked

Tom Rice had the courage to vote for impeachment but lacked the
courage to vote MTG off committees. Right back to being a coward.
I guess I should have held off on that letter of thank you for having the
courage to impeach.

He just got censored from the SC GOP and some old timer
has thrown his hat in the ring to primary him, so much for holding on
to his convictions.

[Harker]

33. That's bipartisanship! n/t

[gldstwmn]

35. Good for them.

I wonder if they'd vote to convict.

[llmart]

38. Thank you to Fred Upton from MI.

I had no doubts that my Q rep, Lisa McClain, would vote no since she voted not to certify the election as a brand new member of the House. I've pretty much figured out that she's a woman who believes she should just do as the menfolk tell her to do. There need to be consequences for her also. She may not be a looney tunes like MTG, but she isn't the brightest bulb in the pack either.

[tavernier]

39. I just wrote to thank Carlos Gimenez.

He is my rep. I’d email the others but they only accept mail from their constituents.

[Cha]

41. YAY So It Happened! TY! Rt!

[COL Mustard]

43. Please Don't Say "MTG Stripped"

I really don’t need that mental image.

🤮

[ToxMarz]

45. The Florida contingency is interesting

Maybe a united front to Trump and Jarvanka encroaching on their territory. You aren't gonna easily take on the Cuban stranglehold, and they aren't easily gonna cede it (once its broken they likely will lose it forever in it's current impenetrable form).

[Fla Dem]

46. I am shocked at the 3 FL reps. Maybe there's hope for us yet.

[bdamomma]

49. Greene

is way over her head, but she will feel the wrath her lies and filth on her. She's nothing but trash.

[Cha]

52. Kick!
