His district is in NYC.

He’s a typical big mouth small brain downstate New Yorker.

This is good. I want to see knock down drag outs. I am sick of their ‘civility’.

Try to act like you have the majority in the House, Cantor. You sound like you’re whining to distract from whatever caving you have planned.

It’s confused reporting.

It could mean Vieson, said something like, “sorry about that” (after being asked (accused of) if the GOP is shutting down democracy) and that is when Crowley jabbed him in the chest.

I have said, ever since Florida 2000, that Gore lost because he did not deploy muscle, and that as the Democrats moved ever closer to a "leading Party" concept that they would need to create a sturmabteilung (not to be called an SA, of course).

The role of muscle in post-1789 politics is underappreciated by our side.

The genius of the German SA was how much it convinced basically good but weak people to want to "stay out of trouble". A father, to avoid coming home with a bloody nose, would turn his back on the most vile crimes, committed in his name and with his authority as a German citizen.

I agree too much civility will lead us to camps. Would love to see that in our House or Senate Chambers:

Ukraine’s:
