Democratic fury with GOP explodes in House

Democratic fury over the mob attack on the Capitol and its aftermath is spilling into nearly every aspect of life in the House, squashing hopes for comity and threatening even mundane legislative tasks like the naming of a local post office.

-snip-

Bad blood reached a new level Tuesday night when Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.) took the highly unusual step of forcing a full floor vote on an uncontroversial bill to name a Mississippi post office because it was authored by a Republican who voted to overturn the election.

It was equally evident during a Postal Service hearing on Wednesday as a furious Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) lashed out at a top Trump ally, Rep. Gym Jordan (R-Ohio), who had accused Democrats of attacking Postmaster General Louis DeJoy last year simply to damage Trump's reelection chances.

"It was all a charade!" Jordan said.

"I didn't vote to overturn an election. And I will not be lectured by people who did, about partisanship," Connolly shot back, jabbing his finger at Jordan.

We have been putting up with their shit for far too long. I support calling bullshit and rubbing their seditious noses in it whenever possible. I think people will appreciate Democrats taking a stand against fascism.

Republicans need to have their crimes thrown back in their smug faces on the regular. Bringing up the insurrection and holding those who endorsed responsible helps to lessen the chances of it happening again.

to come down on the right for not trying to "unite" as diligently as they press Democrats we might get somewhere. Americans must be made aware that this logjam in Congress rests totally with the GOP. They're the party of wannabe dictators, white supremacists, xenophobes, misogynists, and conspiracy theory nutjobs.

that George Clooney is producing about the Ohio State Sex Scandal (in which Gym Jordan was implicated in a cover up) gets this guy out of our lives!

It's going to be based on an article or a series of articles: Wertheim, Sports Illustrated executive editor and senior writer, wrote the "Why Aren't More People Talking About the Ohio State Sex Abuse Scandal?”
