    I'm sure Pelosi's belongings will be kept safe till she returns. Pity the woman herself can't be evicted from congress.

    The twisted logic of a MAGA zealot. ‘You made me do it’   It’s always somebody else’s fault!

Whatever happened to wanting to govern?

The magadonians in congress are pathetic!

Governing!! LOL. The first agenda of the interim speaker was a petty act of eviction followed by a declaration of 7 days holiday. Governing can wait while the GOP take a 7 days vacation. Pathetic beyond any explanation and logic and they are paid for their holidays by tax payers.

275 bi partisan bills submitted to the senate during her tenure

Considering she's served over 35 years in Congress and there's upwards of 7,000 bills a year I'd say she's a slog when it comes to bi partisanship.

 

 

Jesus Christ. $31 trillion in debt and this is the first thing to do?!?

 

I am getting beyond frustrated with these morons.  Good ideas, terrible governing.  In a week when Biden was self immolating in the polls, tools like Gaetz manage to wrest the spotlight away and set his own hair on fire.  I wouldnt blame the democrats one bit for just sitting back, getting some popcorn, and enjoying the show.

Which is precisely what the Democrats are doing.

 

Pay less attention to those polls.

The gang's all here today (The Hateful 8)... crying because their poster girl was told to vacate an office space that she no longer qualified for... real tears.

Just wait for the Dems to lose the White House to see real tears.

If indeed the Dems lose the WH, it will be a peaceful transfer of power.

They stormed the Capitol?

Nope, just stormed most major cities in the country.  Thousands out rioting in places like Oakland, NYC, Portland, etc.

From your link: "The demonstrations, which appeared to be largely peaceful"

"Largely peaceful" in the context of only a few buildings were burnt down, and only a few milion dollars in damage. 

 

Over the course of the evening, “anarchists” in the crowd threw objects at officers, vandalized local businesses and damaged cars, Portland Police Sgt. Pete Simpson said.Police publicly declared a “riot” due to “extensive criminal and dangerous behavior”

Most people can tell the difference between protests and an attempt to seize the seat of Federal government and prevent the certification of a legitimate election.  But obviously some people can't.

Thousands of people rioting in numerous cities does not speak to a "peaceful transfer of power". Particularly when it happened both after the election and on Inauguration Day.

How did those protests impede routine federal government activity?  How did they impede the transfer of power?  Did they cause Congress to be evacuated and or delay any aspect of election certification?

 

You resort to false equivalence because you have nothing else.

IMO some are so invested in the "my side is always right and the others side is always bad" that they are blind to reality.

 

Q What's the difference between a riot and a peaceful demonstration?

A which side is doing the rioting.
