Freshmen women may do what Moulton couldn’t: drive out Pelosi

It is good to know that the Democrats are against hate. The next thing you know they’ll be against war, crime and broccoli.

Faced with condemning freshman U.S. Rep.

Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, a Muslim Somali American, for her anti-Semitic remarks last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi caved under pressure from a group of freshmen members and went bland.

Instead of punishing Omar, Pelosi rewarded her. She also emboldened her by removing her name from the stand alone, specific resolution condemning her for her hateful anti-Semitic remarks in a resolution so watered down to be rendered meaningless

Pelosi is clearly in the early stages of Alzeimers. The Democrats will not want to go into the 2020 election with her as Speaker. There will be a change but it will be engineered by the donors and senior Democrats, not the screwy newcomers.

The old guard is done, they can just go along and fade away. The control of the party is from the outside now, these brainless puppets are just that, they are controlled. We are at war, our ball less GOP is trying to appease and go along to get along or they are in on it as well.

Absolutely right. The logo of the GOP should not be an elephant; it should be a punching bag!

Note the name Seth Moulton.

If Dems start pretending to be sane at some point, US Rep. Seth Moulton, a U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran, would be a formidable Dem candidate for prez.

Pelosi won Speakership by only a handful of votes, and that handful included a number of freshman congressmen who had publicly vowed to never vote for her. Her grasp on power is severely limited. I’m sure in her addled brain, she will do most anything to keep that hold on power. Buy popcorn shares!

(Sniffle) It's good to know that Democrats are against hate. (sob) Faced with condemning true-blue Muslim Somali
Omar for her vile anti-Semitism, Speaker Pelosi caved and sucked-up. Pelosi rewarded the skinny smiling
rag-head, removing her name from the watered-down House resolution condemning her.....

But wait...there's more good news (/s).

Braindead Congressional Black Caucus Democrat Jim Clyburn came to Omar’s defense on her anti-Semitism vileness, insisting:
Clyburn: "I've talked to her---she's feeling real pain b/c of her bgrnd." Clyburn unblinkingly said Omar "told him"
she was born in Somalia, and had to flee the country to escape Somali violence, and spent four years in a Kenyan
refugee camp before coming to the US.

===================================

Yeah sure, (BTW, Clyburn still believes Jussie Smollett).
So why, as a frightened Somali given refuge in America, did she hurry back to Somalia to endorse a Somali
candidate and get her BIL a job in his administration?

-=================================

This creepy woman has a hidden agenda no one could ever imagine. Omar has has world-wide terrorist connections......that's why she's always smiling.

BACKSTORY-- Just a few weeks after her election to Minnesota's state legislature, Ilhan was in her homeland she says she "fled in fear."
She was with then-Pres Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, a favorite for re-election. He reportedly invited her to appear beside him
prior to the Somali election taking place. That's the "frightened lady" chit-chatting, setting up her foreign policy $$$$ Somali agenda.

No Longer "Fearful," elected US state rep Omar Endorsed Somalia’s New President. Four Days Later,
Omar's Brother-in-Law Had a Powerful Job in the Somali Administration. The US foreign aid is about to pour in.

What was the deal she made with the corrupt-ridden Somali govt? Are the violent Somalians she once fled,
privy to US security reports from Omar's current position on the Congressional Foreign Affair Committee?

You better believe it, guys.

==================================

A foray into foreign politics, should have disqualified her from getting US security clearance.
How did she get US security clearance in Congress? Did she falsify govt documents?

White male heterosexual Democrat from Massachusetts. They will be coming for him next. See Capuano.

Yeah, it's obvious that the new Islamic/Socialist members of Congress - AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib - are far stronger opponents of Pelosi as a majority leader than simpering idiots like Paul Ryan on the GOP side ever were when Pelosi was minority leader.

Does the GOP never feel any embarrassment or humiliation over having people like Ryan representing it? Two years as majority leader in the House, no funding for the border wall at all - and he probably considers that one of his accomplishments.

As a Marine Corps veteran I find it embarrassing that Seth Moulton has chosen to ally himself with the party that hates America first, blames America first and wants to destroy America by making it like Venezuela.

That is true, but the “screwy newcomers” are the weapon, and it seems pretty effective too.

And the RAT party is inexorably headed to its inevitable conclusion. When they finally have their radical socialist "coming out" ball, do you think any yellow dog democrats will rethink their own politics?

Like many Democrats Moulton ran as relatively moderate candidate, but now he votes as a fairly conventional liberal, not as far to the left as some, but pretty much in line with the party. By some reckonings his voting record is similar to Pelosi’s or Adam Schiff’s.

She is not dealing with legacy centrist D’s. She is now competing with the most asinine far left ideas backed with Soros $$$. She is irrelevant.

do you think any yellow dog democrats will rethink their own politics?

No, and for the following reasons.

1) Any Democrat who is really disturbed by the direction of the party left years ago. Upon his recent passing pollster Pat Caddell was called The Last Honest Democrat, and it's not far from the truth. Anyone who still votes for them is obviously okay with at least passively acquiescing to what they are doing.

2)Democrat voters have been conditioned through years of relentless propaganda to believe that Republicans are EEEEEEVIL. So they may privately think that AOC is a clown and her agenda is somewhere between impractical and dangerous. But they ain't voting for an EEEEEEEVIL Republican.

3)At the end of the day Free Sh** Heals All Wounds. For example I don't believe that anywhere near a majority of Democrats is onboard with infanticide. And voters keep telling pollsters that abortion is an important issue. But they sure don't vote that way. At the end of the day they'll ignore it and cast their vote based on whoever keeps the Free Sh** flowing in their direction. (I have a relative who is a retired public school teacher who frustrated us all because even though he held conservative views, he voted Democrat with his union 100% of the time to keep the money and benefits flowing)

4) The electorate really IS trending more radical. Numbers showing growing support for socialism are real. You are going to start seeing this in very stark terms over the next several years as a few more of us pass on while new, young radical voters sign-up to take our place.

Even traditional libs should know to be thinking about the future leadership as it’s not an ideological issue.

FR has a similar problem whenever a job or leadership comes up in conservative politics, where anyone under 70 is on the young end.
