Supporters of Trump’s Electoral College stunt may be expelled from Congress under planned resolution

Republican legislators who challenged Joe Biden’s electoral college victory may be expelled from Congress under a planned resolution.

Newly elected Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) on Wednesday revealed the draft proposal shortly after Trump supporters broke into the Capitol, causing chaos and destruction. The crowd delayed the counting of Biden’s election victory under the baseless pretext that the election was “stolen,” as President Donald Trump has often repeated.

“I believe the Republican members of Congress who have incited this domestic terror attack through their attempts to overturn the election must face consequences,” Bush said in a statement. “They have broken their sacred Oath of Office.”

"they are constitutionally allowed to vote however they like"

Nancy's set herself up as The House Dictator. She makes up the rules as she goes along.

Democrats have objected to many electoral counts in the past. Can we toss them out retroactively?

"And just how is our now-established system of election fraud going to allow any type of GOP majority that would do anything about it?"

That was the plan. Republicans like being on the bottom. Pretty soon there won't be any of them left in either House. It will be wall to wall Democrats, because uncontested voter fraud will give it to them, and they know it.

“I want the GOP to die! They showed us their true colors last night. They are far more dangerous than Democrats. They betrayed our President and us the voters. They can never be trusted with power again.”

The only viable answer is a third party with Trump at its helm, the “America First” Party!

Expel all those that supported BLM’s looting and rioting and chaos.

A GOP congress person needs to immmedialy propose that all RAT members who were silent (their rules - silence = acceptance) or endorsed the Antifa or BLM violence need to be expelled. RETURN FIRE!

They only want to expel the ones who did take a stand, and leave the rest.
If there is a single thing possible that President Trump can try to do yet to stop all this, may he do it.

But, but what about the ‘will of the people’ who voted for these Congressmen and Senators?

"The GOP is likely to take over in 2022, ..."

That is the most hilarious thing posted all day... Why not include the statement that the New York Jets will probably win the Super Bowl next month...

#1 - It is more probable that there will never be any more "free" elections... We have just experienced the meager elements of the communist's electoral plans...

#2 - Even if there were "free" elections, IMHO, at least half of all the Trump voters would never vote for a GOP candidate again...
Just think back to the 2008 and 2012 elections when about 1/3 of the GOP base stayed home on election day...
What do you think is going to happen now??

The constitution says 2/3rds of either chamber can expel any member.

Not that Congress follows the constitution.

It’s called a purge.

They don’t want the staunchest opposition to their plans. In fact I don’t believe they will stop at expulsion.

And the news that the agent provocateurs were most likely paid by the DNC. They know we are a nonviolent group as a whole. They needed this action as to justify their upcoming purge.

In the 1984 Canadian election the historic Progressive Conservative Party swept to power in a historic landslide. 4 years later they had started to irritate their core voters, but were able to win another majority running in a single issue - Free Trade with America. They immediately went back to abandoning their core voters on social and constitutional issues (appeasement of Quebec separatism). In 1993 they were reduced to 2 seats in the entire country. A western party (think the Deep South) wiped out the Conservatives and cost them almost every other seat. All through this the Conservatives had arrogantly stated that their voters “have nowhere else to go” and would slavishly continue voting for them.

The GOP. and it’s core voters are at this same crosswords. They are abandoning and denigrating the man who was chosen and elected by the base, and were complicit with the Dems on delaying or stopping his ability to fulfill his promises. The GOP has given the big FU to its core voters. They will not change. They must be destroyed.

Jack Bergman, our rep, is a 40 year Marine, and did object. He said that the Electoral Count Act of 1887 gives congress the opportunity to object...and that it is very common.

For these people to think they can void our votes for him is arrogant beyond belief.

Yeah, not with the requirement of a two-thirds vote to expel it won't.

This whole thing looks like it was abetted by agents provocateurs and that Pelosi/Shumer/Biden will use it to seize power like Hitler did with the Reichstag fire in 1933.
