Politics Congress - the body you love to hate

Is Tommy Tuberville related to Joe Manchin? They definitely came out of very similar dickhead molds.

Republicans confront Tuberville over military holds in extraordinary showdown on Senate floor



This ties into another question:
What grown man goes by the name Tommy?

 

Even (some of) the biggest AH Repubs are telling him to cut the crap. Stubborn? Zealously dedicated? Attention hound?

 

Setting aside the weird father-son equals thing going on, yes, the potentional security risks are huge.


I keep seeing Mike Johnson as televangelist, he would've fit right in with the major ones in the '80s.

 

Less freedom is less freedom.
Jesus prison is still prison
Fuck off Mike Johnson and your Covenant spy software you monitor your kid with that you learn about at a fucking promise keeper rally.

 

Hopefully this is the correct thread for this post, Marjorie Taylor Greene = HOR = Part of Congress.

How many frivolous impeachment motions do we have to tolerate?

Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene moves to impeach US homeland security secretary

Are we going to get an impeachment motion every time a MAGAtard politician (or even a "normal" Republican) disagrees with Biden's policies? Are there enough Repub House members with backbones to shut this crap down?

How McConnell helped engineer Manchin's exit

Why politics leads to madness.

Manchin enjoyed the power of being The Tie Breaker way too much. Good riddance.

But the Dems seriously need him.

 

Funny we both saw this at about the same time.
To be honest, my pov comes from a childhood where a 70's era Playboy was a big deal to have stashed away. And I think the prevailing attitude was wanking is normal.
Totally different world in this regard today.
But

 

This could go in the 2024 Election thread as well.

We knew it before, but now we really know it:
Mike Johnson is NPD Trump's Johnson.

 

Now, children, you have to play nice.

After seeing how some union leaders behave, but not knowing the full story here, I can almost see why Mullins would challenge him.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. What I don't understand is why an investigation that includes a recommendation would take until late 2024 or early 2025.

Deja vu...again.

The House will hearvthis in late November. Will enough Repubs have the backbone to expel Santos?

Young earther. Not really surprised but dang, I see this as equivalent with flat earthers.

Religion attached to moral compass ? Ludicrous, you can easily find a lot of info on this. From morally bankrupt scripture to actual behavior in modern society.

 

Rep. George Santos says he expects to be kicked out of Congress as expulsion vote looms

We might actually see a rare display of ethics from House Repubs this week.


George Santos: The Man, the Myths, the Lessons | Full Special

 

It sounded GS wants to tell tales about his colleagues, all their nasty sausage making techniques. That would be good and in keeping with his goals of self enrichment.
Once recognized as a lier at heart and true scumbag earned him the confidence of other established scum I'd imagine he's learned a bit about some folks. Especially being gay he may have some extra spicy meatballs to go with the sausage recipes.

Funny how you gain access to the lying backstabber club and relax and spill your beans thinking...were all friends here, but, lol, backstabbers have no friends, only leverages that reveal the true nature of "Promise Keepers" fraternity of evils.

Maybe the club has realized his cannon is too loose for them to trust.

 

I can see him writing a book...but just about any publisher would want to be extremely cautious about trusting anything Santos says.

Something more likely, perhaps? Santos on some idiotic "reality" show. Maybe he could be a "reporter" for one of the entertainment news shows. He could go on rattlesnake hunts in W. Texas, or go catfish noodling in Alabama.

 

And the backtracking & flip-flopping begins...

Johnson says he has ‘real reservations’ over expelling Santos as GOP support grows for ousting New York congressman | CNN Politics

One Democratic congressman (sorry, I missed his name) on TV nailed it when he said the only reason Santos is still around is the Repubs need his vote, Santos would be gone if the Repubs had a comfortable majority in the House.

Anybody want to bet a cup coffee ☕ on the outcome? I say the slimy worm stays.

 

The claim from some Repubs that "we're setting a dangerous precedent because he wasn't found guilty in a court of law" is pure hypocritical bullshit. A Dem would be bounced the first time around, & that first procedure would've taken place much quicker.

I now hope George Santos get nailed legally. He isn't someone who made a few serious mistakes innocently, he's some kind of sociopath who had no problem knowingly breaking many laws and rules.

Where does this leave the House? We have a little over 11 months before we know what the next House will look like.
