The facts are clear: the House rules of order and decency were broken by the very person tasked with upholding them—the Speaker of the House. But just now, Democrats voted to ignore the rules and give special treatment to one of their own.

Fucking typical.

 

[aspiegamer]

"The legislative rules are so fucked up that calling out someone as racist is worse counts as worse than being racist" is certainly a new tier of stupid for our system. Like seriously, I never would have thought there'd be non-rules rules that fucking dumb.

Whatever. It'll be on the official congressional record that the President is a racist shithead on twitter. It's better than nothing. I'll take it for now.

 

[Hopfrog]

Yeah, I'm gonna need photos of this hug. Was it a full on two-armed deal, or just a one-arm around the shoulder squeeze? Was Nancy smiling when she did it, or kind of grimacing like she didn't like it?

Gotta say, I am skeptical of Pelosi's intent here.

This is good. Let's work up from this toward impeachment. After all, we can't have a POTUS who is under investigation.

Dana Bash brought a good point - this language was most likely put in by slaveholders in 1800's.

We already know that today's Republicans don't care about racism, but is is nice to have that on the record.

 

[aspiegamer]

Well, this proves that Pelosi can pull the entire caucus together when shit's most dire at least. Not that this is a terribly controversial vote, but hey, it's a toe in the water toward theoretical impeachment.

Trump about to give another hug of political death, it seems.

Amash voted yes

Republican vote was 2, now 1. Who is the "Profile in Courage" hero who voted yes then retracted it?

Edit: okay, now it is back.

Sounds like a BIPARTISAN CONDEMNATION OF THE PRESIDENT'S RACIST TWEETS y'all!

If Trump could cost Fitzpatrick, Hurd, and Upton reelection, that'd be great.

Brooks is retiring anyway.

That's a lot of republicans who are okay with the president saying racist things....oh wait what if there's a reason for that?

That's 181 Republicans voting that it's OK to be racist (only 4 against it). I hope voters in their areas take note.

Pelosi and Omar begin the week fighting on twitter and Trump decides to take action that causes them to hug on the floor, i'm in awe of his strategy.

Trump got us back in array.

On one hand impeachment talk muddies what trump did, on the other he's a blatant racist and maybe it's needed.

Bernie and Warren are soo close to Biden on that SC poll.
