House Dems Grumble To CNN: We’re Frustrated That The Squad Keeps Making Trouble For Us

Damn, this thread is enjoyable.
If it’s true that picking a fight with the Squad — at least on “go back to where you came from” grounds — is a political loser for Trump, some members of the Democratic caucus are slow to see it. The grievances here about Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff allegedly organizing primary challenges to some Dem incumbents are real and longstanding too. That was a key complaint in the Dem pile-on of Saikat Chakrabarti this past weekend, which feels like ancient history now because it happened 48 hours before Trump started tweet-ranting “love it or leave it” stuff at Ilhan Omar. But it’s fuel on the fire that’s burning through comity on Pelosi’s side of the aisle.
Trump thinks he’s winning this fight and wasn’t shy about saying so to reporters this afternoon. Note the shot here about Omar possibly having married her brother:

There’s no question that something strange is going on in her marital history. Whether one of the men she was married to is actually her brother remains uncertain, as far as I know, but Trump’s not pulling that out of nowhere.
As for his point about the Dems going left on Israel, it makes me laugh that immediately after smoothing over the big Democratic brawl over AOC’s chief of staff by coming together to rebuke POTUS, Dems are about to have a new fight over the BDS movement thanks to Omar and the Squad. Here she is today making the case that BDS is sort of like the Boston Tea Party in that they’re both nonviolent means of pressuring an occupying power to leave. Which I guess makes the colonial continental army sort of like … Hamas? I don’t know. Cheers to House Democrats as they try to figure that one out.

The Democrats are stuck. If they kick them to the curb, they will lose big in 2020. If they don’t silence them, it may cause extinction level damage long term.

Hey, there’s always the “rage” option. You can add some expressions of rage at the Stupid Squad to your already oh-so-effective expressions of rage at Trump.
Shove it all in the rage hopper, where the rage will magically amplify into super-rage and wipe out everything in creation.

Cry me a river, leftards. You’ve been screaming racism, sexism, homophobia and islamophobia for years now, getting people fired for stating un-PC facts, keeping quiet about millions of illegals flooding the country, giving same illegals OUR MONEY while some of them murder us and you’ve not lifted one finger to stop it. Go “blank” yourselves!

pissing off moderates because momma nancy gave love to the squad isn’t going to force a rift in the dem party; theyre MODERATES, FFS. by definition, they take what momma nancy gives them and they like it.
we will only learn the truth in the fullness of time, but it may turn out that attacking the squad was a mistake on the part of DJT. a genuine rebellion was brewing. the galactic overreaction to a tweet may have healed the breach enough for the Dems to get past 2020.

The Squat has to be plants installed by President Trump, they can’t be real because nobody is that tone deaf. They have to be plants, and if they are, wow, our President is truly genius level. Cause they are a gift that keeps on giving.

Anything that takes away from bread and butter issues is playing into his hands. What "bread and butter" issues are the Dems even talking about? They have done nothing at all, nothing but investigate and now rebuke the POTUS. No bills. No legislation. No budget. No Infrastructure. They almost scuttled the aid to the border and that had to be forced onto them with an up/down vote by the Senate with no reconciliation or input by the House. This is the most dysfunctional do-nothing Congress in American history.
Which in many ways is fine by me. "Bread and Butter" are not exactly the purview of the federal government anyway but that's a different topic. At least they are giving us a circus!

Hey Democrats, get rid of these women (somehow, some way - run candidates against them, find wrongdoing and put them out of Congress, whatever) and your party has a chance in the House and perhaps for the Presidency. Keep them there and all of you go down together.

And for years we’ve been told that behind the scenes, Nancy was a political and legislative genius. Along comes the stupidest kid in school, who talks like Minnie Mouse and mispronounces simple words and Nancy is completely fluxxomed and outgunned.

They are so full of themselves, and so full of crap it is unbelievable. They want people to tip-toe around them because “they are women of color”, while they can rip into anyone they want to calling them racists, nazis, greedy jew etc. They don’t care about who they insult but want everyone to tread carefully not to insult them.
They play this “women of color” card like a defense against criticism of any kind, when in politics all criticism is fair. They are quick to play the ‘women of color’ card like it’s a substitute for intelligent debate of the merits of any argument. As you said they are the ones who constantly talk about race, sex, sexual preference, religion - that would make them the racists by definition. They would probably wag their fingers at Dr. Martin Luther King if he were around today and said “judge people by the content of their character not the color of their skin”. It’s amazing how regressive these so-called progressives really are. And it’s amazing that they can’t see how obtuse their views really are.
I could go on and on (as could most of us) - those of them who are immigrants or 1st generation Americans don’t realize that this country allowed them to immigrate regardless of their race or religion or heritage, embraced them, gave them citizenship, gave them opportunity and elected them to Congress but they can’t see the good? All they see is hatred, bigotry?

The Democrats created the squad to say and do the things they believe but don’t have the courage to say in public.
Now they’re just discovering that the public doesn’t like what they believe in. Just the Democratic base.

I’ve taken to referring to my Congresscritter as Nancy Spanberger because she has been such a lap dog for Pelosi.

The “Squad of four” are a creation of the media. In normal circumstances they would just be ignored as left wing Marxists and two left wing Marxists Muslim extremists. All four hate our nation as it presently is. The power of these four is a total creation of the Media. Otherwise, they would be just inconsequential left wing Marxist and two Muslim Marxist extremist nut jobs.
Nancy Pelosi also knows this. The four have become the face of the Democrat House and Pelosi is second.
As mentioned before, all their power comes from the media. This makes one question “what is the media.”

Investigate Omar for marriage and tax fraud, then expel her. Takes a 2/3 vote, they could do it tomorrow. Unless the Republicans blocked it:-)
