No ill intent for my squad sister. AOC, the real speaker of the House.

Pelosi, speaker in name only.

What does this mean?

It means that if you are a member of "The Club" you have no worries about silly little ethics charges or other felonies.

If the headline read “Rep. Rashida Tlaib robs bank in downtown Detroit, kills four” ... people would still say “ho hum”. Until any of us see INDICTMENTS and CONVICTIONS, headlines like these are just digital waste matter.

I don't know which is worse

“The Committee also recognizes, however, that Representative Tlaib’s violation of the applicable restrictions was one of bad timing and not ill intent,”

-- or --

"The ruling was issued three days after Tlaib secured victory over her Democratic challenger in Michigan’s primary on Tuesday."

“...ordered her to repay that amount back to her campaign within one year...”

This’ll go down a rabbit hole within 6mos.

She’s a democrat - she’ll get a pass.

YOU DOUBT?

Democrat thugs burn down cities, loot stores, tried to kill police officers by barricading the doors - attempting to burn them alive in a trapped biding.

AND NOTHING HAPPENED TO THEM.

Two right wingers used CHALK on a sidewalk (YES, “chalk” - the stuff the rain washes off) saying ‘black baby’s lives matter’ AND THEY WERE ARRESTED.

That’s what passes for ‘law’ in the United States today.

Yes, a sternly-worded letter. That will show her who's boss. Make sure to have it point out that she will be on the wrong side of history as well. That will REALLY do it.

The Ethics committee found that Tlaib violated FECA’s personal use restrictions by paying herself $10,800 from her campaign when she was no longer a congressional candidate in late 2018 and ordered her to repay that amount back to her campaign within one year, the committee said in a report.

LMAO!!! Tlaib will write the check to her campaign then the campaign will turn around and pay her husband's firm the same amount.

Did they send her a strongly worded letter? That should learn her.

Why would they ever want to make them strong?

The "laws" they create don't apply to them.

Although this was dropped three days after her primary, this was a clear warning shot across the bow by her own kind. The powers that be are saying fall in line or else. Yes it is a demoncrat committee, but as a member of “the Squad” they would be willing to throw her under the bus in a heartbeat, as they would with any demoncrat who flouts the party’s ideas. Demoncrats throw a bone out every now and then but it is usually because the bones are not more than scraps that have no further use for the party. As I said this was a warning shot, did the “M-f’er” Tlaib get the message? Is the real question.

Ironically, the HOUSE announced that my Rep, Schweikert, had plead guilty to 11 Erthics violations, right before the Primary. i really like him but the Am Central website mentioned that , in his Primary he had pled guilty, etc. They did mention that the woman who will be running against him doesn’t live in the District, but that is all they said about her. She also is no longer a practicing Doctor and sits on some sort of Board that has to do with Healthcare in AZ. She is e PROPONENT of Socialized Medicine. Will we even hear that in the upcoming campaign? She also has over a million dollars in her ‘warchest’ and Schweikert has about 1/4 of that amount of money. The Republican Party Isn’t supporting him and he IS our Primary candidate. There was an article in our local paper that said he is calling this announcement unconscionable as the matter could have been finished last year......but the DeMs held it until it could be of more use to them. I hope Dr Hiral Tipirneni meets with some misfortune as she is, like all Dems, slimy at best.
