Floor fight erupts as Pelosi speaks ahead of vote to condemn Trump's 'racist' comments
FoxNews ^ | July 16, 2019

Posted on 07/16/2019 1:04:31 PM PDT by SMGFan

Escalating tensions on Capitol Hill erupted into a contentious floor fight in the House of Representatives on Tuesday afternoon, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke in favor of a proposed resolution condemning "racist" comments by President Trump -- even as Republican leaders stood steadfast behind the president.

As Pelosi's remarks turned personal, Georgia Republican Rep. Doug Collins rose to challenge her and demand that her words be "taken down." The extraordinary rebuke, the first of its kind by a member of Congress and a speaker of the House in decades, theoretically could result in Pelosi being barred from speaking on the floor for the remainder of the day.

"There is no place anywhere for the president's words, which are not only divisive, but dangerous -- and have legitimized and increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color," Pelosi, D-Calif., said. "It's so sad because you would think that there would be a given that we would universally, in this body, just say, 'Of course. Of course.'"

3/23/1960 - The Assassination of Japanese Politician Inejiro Asanuma

Inejiro Asanuma was a Japanese politician and leader of the Japan Socialist Party. Originally a right-winger in the 1930s, Asanuma was unusual in post-war Japan for his forceful advocacy of socialism, his support of the Chinese Communist Party, and his criticism of U.S–Japanese relations, which was particularly controversial. Asanuma was assassinated with a yoroi-dōshi, a traditional sword, by ultranationalist Otoya Yamaguchi while speaking in a televised political debate in Tokyo. His violent death was seen in graphic detail on national television, causing widespread public shock and outrage.

We aren't there yet …

2 Timothy 3:3-9 (NIV)
3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. 6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

Because of the brilliant minds at google who dictate what we should know. If they say she’s a Senator, then a Senator she is.

I can definitely see how he maneuvered these government "servants" into position. Hate leads them, hate gives them reason to get up in the morning and hate has become their god.

It's a slam dunk for Trump. Just "doin' bidness" (doing business) as usual. He's a master at this.)

Okay...maybe around 3,000,000 of them.

It will take 10 times that to get their attention. They're a little slow.

“CW2 really cannot be far away...“

Something’s coming, that’s for sure. This cannot continue without a clash.
