For the record what was really unprecedented

was the coup that failed not the Speaker refusing to seat two of Slobfather's tools.
Speaker Pelosi will not allow these tools to make a circus of a coup that failed. Truth will out!

Tools are useful items, so you're giving them far too much respect.

Pelosi is asking for volunteers. She might even get a few who aren't Brooks or Gosar or any of the other usual clowns.

At least Gym Jordan proved beyond a shadow of a doubt why he got the boot.

Just begin to call grand juries and charge any/all involved in the plotting and execution of the insurrection.

No matter who goes down.

Preferably with early morning no-knock raids and public perp walks -- all televised.

The purpose of strong adjudication is DETERRENCE.

A commission is just a boggle, a mud pit, a running of the clock.

Make GOP feel pain. They will not stop until they feel pain. This crap has been going on for thirty years.

She covered her tracks. The higher McCarthy climbs, the more he exposes himself!

he appointed someone who was awarded a Presidential medal of freedom for covering up for the Slobfather during two impeachments - they have some nerve.

Republicans intend to run out the clock and muck things up. We've seen this too many times.

They won't quit until they are made to feel significant pain. Sooner rather than later.
