(26,594 posts)It must be so difficult to refer to that twit as the "gentle-lady."
And his tie was a nice touch!

(11,684 posts)The colors of the tie, and the vomitus referring to her as "gentlelady" instead of c*** or vile sk***. Both words apply to her, not because of her gender, but because of how absolutely rancid and disgusting she is.
I've really liked the videos of Raskin lately, we need to hear a lot more like that. The time of being nice to "our friends on the other side" is long past. They are not friends, they are not even on the side of America. Fuck them all.

(26,594 posts)I can't recall him being a serious contender in the conversation, but he's emerging as a worthy candidate to succeed Joe Biden, when the day comes. There are so many Dems that I'd rank head and shoulders above ANY ReThug: Pete Buttigieg, Katie Porter, Stacey Abrams, Ted Lieu, Hakeem Jeffries, Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren and, of course, Kamala Harris, among others.

Personally, I think Marjorie should be sent to Ukraine on a fact-finding mission. It's not like she is doing anything in congress. Maybe Bucha and Mariupol.

(9,348 posts)Normally, the female counterpart of "gentleman" is either just "lady" or else "gentlewoman" - if you are listening for it I think you can catch that the hearing presider used "gentlewoman." Raskin is thoroughly ;literate and knows how to use language. I think it's a troll.
SergeStorms
(20,542 posts)of the House of Representatives it's always "gentleman" for males and "gentlewoman or gentlelady" for females. It's supposed to be polite protocol for members, even if they're disgusting pieces of shit.
I have no doubt Raskin addressed her as such, even though the bile rose into his mouth when he said it. Raskin is a gentleman and would follow protocol, no matter how disgusted he was with her (and rightfully so).

(9,348 posts)that doesn't mean his choice of the term "gentlelady is not trolling.
SergeStorms
(20,542 posts)His intonation had sort of a "snarky" quality to it.

I understand the rage (I feel the same) but... be careful what you say (on tape).

(20,542 posts)She's certainly no damned "lady", and she's as gentle as a wounded bull alligator.
Thank you, Representative Raskin, for putting that churlish shrew in her place.

(4,590 posts)At least I hope the Ukranian army is not killing Ukranian children.
I'm very happy to see some dems calling members of the GOP what they are in plain language. I hope it keeps up and gets louder and more frequent. Thank you, Jaime Raskin

(16,507 posts)proud of his refusal to remain silent. It wasn't surprising when the demand for his words to be taken down was uttered, that's how the GOPers roll. But it immediately evoked a fairly recent similar moment to which Steny Hoyer responded (paraphrasing here), So truth is not allowed to be spoken in the House?
