Well, the same same is true with MTG- the left's incessant attacks, and full blown obsession with MTG are only making her stronger. Freshmen congressmen in the minority parties have almost no power on the committees anyway, so kicking her off really does nothing. All the left's obssession with MTG is doing is giving her a much bigger megaphone, getting her more notoriety, with more followers by the day, and assuring her re re-election in her deep red district. This guy nails it.

Understood, you vote for cowering like a puss and getting continually punched. :coffee:
Trump said a lot of inflammatory crap about Democrats. You should applaud them for "not cowering like a puss" and punching back harder with the 2nd impeachment. :kisswink:
Donks threw the 1st punch with Trump's win in 2016 was illegitimate, Trump/Russian collusion delusion fraud. Trump punched back.
Don't throw the 1st punch, but when someone punches you, you punch back.

If the conks take the House in 2022 they won't impeach Harris over some BS like the donks have with Trump over an innocuous phone call or BS incitement charge, because of too many pussy RINOS and VICHY conks who won't punch back. I have to admit, the donks do do a better job of sticking together.

Here's a Hill article published at 1:40pm, on January 6, with Twitter posts from 30 minutes earlier as it was happening:

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5329 ... -buildings

I already posted Rep. Nancy Mace's account on the prior page, given on January 7, confirming she was scared as well:

At one point we were stuck in a tunnel under the Capitol with several other members of Congress and maybe 100 staffers who were evacuated from Cannon. We were in this tunnel and then when we were able to get back to our offices. That's when the breach happened. We were put immediately into lockdown. We had to lock our office doors, turn off the lights, and we weren’t speaking. You could just hear the sirens all across the Capitol, and it was scary. I was worried about my staff. I wanted to make sure every person was accounted for and that we were all in a safe place.

https://play.acast.com/s/skullduggery/i ... istinchief
Problem with this narrative is that AOChe said she was fearful of a breach at 1(ish) pm. There was no breach. The evacuation of the Cannon Building was from the pipe bombs that were found. Why would she be afraid of Trump supporters running down her hallway if no breach had occurred yet?

Try again.

The stupid shit MTG said has rightfully been called out, but the MTG move breaks the norms and sets a bad precedent. Censure/removal from committees should have been done by the conks, instead we get the party controlling the majority dictating to the minority party who can serve on committees. That's not how this works. Now the conks will be obligated to return the favor when they take the House, whenever that will be.

Dems seem to be the ones stepping in it first, at least in recent administrations (last 25-30 years) and then bitching when their rules are thrown back at them when they’re not in power. This, too, shall happen with this particular action and they’ll cry foul.

Not that it changes this conversation, but do you know who started the birth certificate story? Give you one guess.

Have a list ready to kick donks off committees for any egregious comments made by that person before they were in Congress (or during). Can start with Waters and the Squat. Tit for tit.
She was liking posts and making comments about the literal murder of her coworkers.

I'd fire her if I was her manager, don't care if she said it twenty years ago or today. That's not normal behavior.
And you had a donk Congressman Eric Swallow, on the House Intel Committee no less, cavorting with that Chinese spy Bang Bang. That is far worse than anything MTG said.

Is there a difference between respecting AOChe's fear and trauma compared to respecting Erin Morrow Hawley's fear and trauma?

She's a politician.

I think she has an agenda and she will do anything that she thinks will help to achieve that agenda including crying crocodile tears. Liberals aren't that different from conservatives when it comes to manipulating emotions.

Compassion is a two-way street that liberals demand but don't like to give. How much compassion did Tlaib have for the LE who were hit with bricks, bottles of piss, etc. during the BLM/AnTiFa riots? How much compassion did she have for Hawley's wife? What about for Steve Scalise?

I try to be compassionate but I also don't want to be a fool and I think Tlaib is trying to make a fool out of me.

I don’t know how much compassion she had in those instances. I don’t follow her very close.
