‘Everyone hates this place’: Border bill tears apart Democratic caucus
Politico via msn ^ | 27 Jun 2019 | Andrew Desiderio, Heather Caygle and Sarah Ferris

Posted on 06/27/2019 10:07:42 PM PDT by blueplum

Democrats broke into open warfare Thursday over Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s surrender to the Senate’s emergency border aid package, with the caucus’s long-simmering divide between progressives and centrists playing out in dramatic fashion on the House floor.

Some lawmakers even resorted to public name-calling, with progressive leader Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) accusing moderate Democrats of favoring child abuse — an exchange on Twitter that prompted a pair of freshmen centrists to confront him directly on the floor, with other lawmakers looking on in shock...

….“I think the Problem Solvers Caucus is emerging to be this tea party within our own Democratic Party,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) told POLITICO. “I find their tactics to be extremely concerning. It’s horrifying. It’s horrifying.”

I've been finding these without being on the list, but I may keep missing ones I'd like to read.

More "brisk" than the PINGS I get from you on the other PING LISTS? I can take it!

You figure that when they fail to steal the election, they will start killing themselves?

And we can thank public education for that.

“And we can thank public education for that.”

YES.

That means the pubic school teachers and administrators in all of our communities, for decades. With the NEA union scripting it.

That 3rd grade teacher or high school teacher that you really liked — they pushed, or at least silently tolerated, the leftist/socialist agenda. They are, effectively, domestic enemies. Is that harsh to say? Sorry, it’s truth.

“...shocking that this generation has moved so thoroughly against the Founder’s ideals...”

Sadly, with all due to respect, it is not shocking.

American children since the 60’s have been brainwashed in the government schools starting in kindergarten. Their dislike for their country is taught long before college; college just completes the agenda. They are taught to hate the United States because they are told that it is racist, homophobic and is run by greedy capitalist republicans.

They are taught to love socialism and believe in the climate change hoax. You are seeing the fruit of the government’s success in getting several generations of students to buy into their propaganda.

Shocking in that this generation has moved so thoroughly against the Founder’s ideals.

I seem to recall some great American talking about that

One by one they made a motion only to be denied by Democratic Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee of Texas, who was presiding over the chamber.

In what shape was her topiary hairdo?

They would need to know what the founder’s ideals were to feel differently than they do. Ask one sometime who the founders were or to quote from the Bill of Rights.

“accusing moderate Democrats of favoring child abuse...”

From the party of partial birth abortion and drag queen storytime.

As long as they keep their riots in their part of town. I believe Soros and his antifa and black lives matter brigade will be in effect but in our part of town

LIBs are such incredible life-losers. Hopefully, if there are “riots”, some will be eliminated through their actions. What incredibly mentally-undeveloped, mentally-ill, uncivil degenerates. I laugh at their pathetic existence. What oafs.

“Progressives” = Stalinists “Centrists” = Marxists

Unfortunately for our country, you are spot on.
