    Well, instead of McCarthy dealing 'with his party's turds', he held it up and proceed to wipe his party with it and his minions followed suit. Only two persons in the house had the cajones to do the right thing.

    See, when that happens, it's time for a responsible party to take action.

    Sorry.

    I don't approve of it, but I believe it is not morally right to make it illegal.
    If an individual is the owner of their own body then they can consent to put it in danger.

    This is a thing that affects no one else other than the two who gave their consent.

    Yes, so dems let their kind say idiotic an racist things, well....

    Feel free to quote any prominent democrat saying the most 'idiotic and racist things', and make sure it trumps Trump's words like:

    "They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."

    "...crime statistics show blacks kill 81% of white homicide victims" --DJT tweet

    [Jeb Bush] "has to like the Mexican illegals because of his wife,"

    "They all have AIDS," --DJT, referring to Haitian visitors

    [Nigerians, after seeing America] "... would never go back to their huts."


    "Who, Pocahontas?" --DJT, when asked about Elizabeth Warren

    "...shitholes" referring to certain African countries

    And I'm only scratching the surface of Trump's idiotic, insensitive and racist remarks, which, and republicans don't seem to mind of your president.

    Yes Trump says idiotic things and appeals to racists too, we all know that, even his supporters.

    But it's not a contest where only the worst deserves condemnation. Some of the Democrats, most notably Maxine Waters and Ilhan Omar, have said equally stupid things without a peep from the Democrats.

    Both parties ignore the slime in their own parties because they're so focused on the slime in the other party.

    I disagree. Maxine waters is a hateful and violence cheering woman. She has many quotes that stoked the fires of riots. This guy wasn’t cheering riots and looters or anyone actually committing crimes like Maxine waters did.

    The issue before congress is this:

    Is it acceptable for any congressperson to suggest, hint, joke, violence against another legislator?

    Your whataboutism is completely off topic.

    It's another topic, so start a thread on it if you want to debate it.

    It's okay to criticize AOC and Biden, but not to suggest, hint, provoke, say, meme, etc., VIOLENCE.

    Disliking their policies is no justification for it.

    Well, if/when Paul Gosar is reduced to insignificant dust, there are many more where he came from (Under a rock)

    SNIP
    "In the last session we had, we reviewed Steve Bannon’s podcast. Today we’re critiquing Paul Gosar’s anime. Next week we might be indicting Wile E. Coyote for an explosive ordinance against the roadrunner," he snarked.
    ENDSNIP

    https://crooksandliars.com/2021/11/matt-gaetz-claims-wile-e-coyote-will-be

    While that Coyote HAS evaded the law for far too long, somebody needs to inform Matt Gaetz that Congress doesn't indict anybody, nor was anybody "critiquing" an anime yesterday..... just the do*chebag who authorized and posted it...

    Speaking of indictments, I thought that tool was 30 seconds from Federal Indictment for sex trafficking 4 months ago?? Wha happened there??

    No, now that Trump has complete sway over the Republican party, no one, i.e. Cheney and the like can no longer speak against Trump.

    That is the very definition of controlled speech.

    Better believe Pelosi loves the takedown of AOC (Biden loves it, too).

    Did I actually previously post in this thread that it was beneath Biden to bribe certain progressives to pass the first infrastructure bill using taxpayer monies??..I mean, Biden's a politician.:roll::roflol:

    Cheney doesn't speak for the GOP in Wyoming...I don't agree with this sentiment of the Wyoming legislature, either, but this type of sentiment to try to cancel speech you don't agree with seems to be prevalent throughout American society right now.

    Maybe we all need a lesson on libertarianism and need to back off on the authoritarianism? Do you agree?

    So a GOP Senator from WY doesn't speak for the GOP. That is one of the most obtuse arguments yet !!!!

    She is just one voice in the Wyoming GOP...She isn't the most prominent (well, even though she appears to be jumping up and down), nor the most wise nor the most popular opinion in the Wyoming GOP.

    EDIT: Heck, she's just a fascist.:roll:

    Where IS this cartoon? I can't find it anywhere! The hyperliberal Left has gone into a rage-mania, as though it was some kind of gigantic production like "Triumph of the Will" or something....

    She spoke against Trump for a long time without consequence. It wasn't until she voted to impeach Trump for his use of free speech that they began to act.

    Her career was over before that, that's why she pulled the stunt, "shock and aww" and it wasn't the Leftist that made the stink about the stunt now was it ;)

    This guy/whistleblower from Arizona is trying to uncover the deal using taxpayer monies made between the Biden Administration and some progressives to pass the first infrastructure bill. The guy from Arizona is also trying to uncover that AOC, for example, is no longer one of the progressive leaders in the house. The censure is just a dem coverup.

    What front and center is HYPOCRISY, and it always is with the left it's their stock and trades..



    I gave you examples of the very same thing all of them in the public eye, you don't want to play with the big dogs then stay out of the pit ;)

    It is completely appropriate for any Congressional Representative to hint, joke, meme etc using imagery that other consider to have violence in it even if that includes another legislator.

    Everything is a two way street. Make is 2022 and Democrats declaring that anyone who supports X is consenting to violence in the streets and there won't be a single Democrat on a single committee.

    In the meantime consider the reality of this. If someone posts for example the astronaut with a gun meme, they aren't calling for the death of the first astronaut, they are noting how it represents some sort of awaking or deception or revealing a hard truth. It isn't literal violence being called for and to suggest it is just reveals stupidity.

    If AOC is eating the townspeople, I don't think violence would be unacceptable or illegal. :)

    Perhaps like millions of other Americans, I woke up this morning to find out that a member of the U. S. House of Representatives has been rebuked, censured, and thrown out of his committee assignments over a cartoon that he didn't even make...(?)

    Now, will someone PLEASE provide us all a link so that we, too, can actually see this horrific, earth-shaking cartoon that has provoked such a bug-eyed reaction in the hyperliberal Left that currently owns and controls the House of Reps!

    Hard to take a position on anime you haven't seen. Sounds like it was probably in poor taste but I'd like to see the actual video to see what all the ballyhoo is about before I decide.
