Earlier this week the Democrats now running the House of Representatives strutted their stuff with passage of a bill aiming at the ancient liberal target of the gun background check “loophole” for private sales. It was passed by a 240-190 margin on what was basically a party-line vote. But before that vote, Republicans offered an unexpected “motion to recommit” the bill to add language instructing law enforcement officials to notify ICE if an “illegal immigrant” attempted to buy a gun. Twenty-six Democrats voted with Republicans in favor of that motion, and embarrassed House leaders added the language as an amendment to keep the bill from dying then and there.
Subsequently House Democrats met to discuss the incident (the second successful MTR maneuver by Republicans in the brief period since Nancy Pelosi took the gavel), amid some talk of amending the House rules either to eliminate MTRs or provide members with more time to consider them. But according to the Washington Post, recriminations broke out between members angry at the defections on the ICE vote, and defectors angry that Democrats from safer districts weren’t sufficiently sensitive to their political needs.

Communists all.
I have never heard of a rookie congress-critter having this much influence. She is largely a creation of the press, but the more senior Dems have bought into it.
AOC is more powerful than Pelosi.
She will be. Trump will win in 2020 and his coat tails will bring the house back.
“Cross-breeding humans and rabbits so we could all be vegans”
Can’t do that. Too much methane gas
expelled. It’s the climate change thing.
Yup
Does Tom Perez still exist?
Not my House of Representatives.
AOC sure has delusions of grandeur.
The Mirror image of Trotsky and Lenin.
Didn’t they say they wold be more civil once they were back in power?
would...even
AOC may be a one year liver!
East river is cold this time of year.
She’s making some brutal enemies.
The deep state doesn’t like extremes on either side.
They want a slow descent into a new world order.
AOC’s idea ain’t it.
I believe Soros is leaning on them.
The furors are warning the masses. Goose step with us or it’s the gas chamber for you. ZEKE HIEL!
Pelosi and the Cortex bear watching. These two could institute death squads in a heart beat. When one considers the Clintons and what has happened to some “Reservation Leavers,” like Seth Rich, the squads may already exist.
Indeed, no boundaries to how extremely far left they will go, those baby murderers.
