Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson

I don't mean to ruin anyone's day, but if we don't allow it to ruin our day then we just might allow it to ruin our country. The president's tweets are more than racist; they border on rants of a fascist dictator. Throughout history, words such as he uses have led to catastrophe.

I don't get it. Why would Pelosi be banned from speaking without a new vote to let her speak? I thought she didn't break any rules, that it was only a precedent thing which she had already cleared as OK. All it takes is someone saying saying, "I think you broke the rules", and they can't speak again without a vote?

Hoyer, who was in the chair, ruled her comments out of order.

You know I thought it was strange that for as big as the House is, there's less independents there compared to 2 out of 100 in the Senate. Granted, Amash has only been like that for barely two weeks, but there was still a big 0 before.

* MOMENT * As Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver — who dropped the gavel — tells reporters outside House chamber about how he's never called anyone a racist, Rep. Steve King — who has been censured by the House earlier this year over racist comments — walks up and shakes his hand.

GOP ruled in 2016 and 2017 that you can't call the president racist (wonder why). Pelosi called Trump racist. The GOP objected, the chair ruled her out of order, we took it to a vote, her comments stand and her speaking privileges have been restored.

Trump will be condemned later tonight.

Alex Moe @AlexNBCNews

And now @RepSwalwell just referenced Trump's "s*** hole" countries comment on the House floor and said they were racist comments. Republicans are objecting and want his words taken down

6:00 PM - Jul 16, 2019

Edit:



Jake Sherman @JakeSherman

Famous last words. Republicans now moving to take down @RepSwalwell's words. He read trump phrases and said they were racist— without saying trump said them.

Swalwell is withdrawing an offensive word — and Collins withdrew his objection. Stay tuned....

Not only do I approve of Trump's racist comments I want to make sure the record never shows he said racist comments. Classic party of Lincoln.

Holy crap, I'm just catching up on the afternoon. Republicans aren't concerned about the actual remarks... they're concerned with a not-actually-a-rule ancient recommendation that you not say mean things about the president on the house floor? And that people who call others racist are the real problem, blah blah blah? Nice.

Yup.

Again they are more concerned about being called racists than the actual racism. It's obvious.

Al Greens motion is gonna fail and that's gonna give fuel to Trump. Pelosi needs to herd her cats and tell them to vote yes on it.

Our poll suggests that voters view the men in this race as a lot more likable than the women. Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders each take 20% when New Hampshire Democratic primary voters were asked which Democratic candidate is most likable. Buttigieg comes in third with 18%.

None of the women candidates even come close. Only 5% list Kamala Harris as most likable and just 4% say Elizabeth Warren is.

Warren's poor standing on this question comes even as she rose significantly in the horserace from April.

Call him a bloated, orange racist again. Every Democrat should, and then point and laugh when the GOP cries about it. Step on their necks, no quarter

Evangelicals and other Republicans really care about this IMO. Like, I used to think it was fake outrage, but now I think for most of them, it's really outrage because it cracks some careful facade that they need to keep up for themselves.
