One’s white while the other is black. That’s the deal. Dig it.
It’s as plain as black and white.
Communist Purge Underway & Nothing Is Being Done About It!
Plus one’s Republican and the other’s Democrat.
Plus one side is cutthroat, plays to win at all costs, takes off the gloves, and ignores all the rules and laws while the gentlemen on the other side abide by the Marquess of Queensberry Rules.
In oreer for them to vote that he NEVER hold a government job again, he has to be convicted.
Well that and they fear Trump can actually win the presidency again in 2024 with the state country will be in under Biden

Did you not know that?
I can only conclude you have not been paying attention for the past two centuries.
Hastings - powerful in the House? People don’t even know his name. That is a silly heading. He has not been on one single House committee hearing in recent years. I’m not sure he is even still a member of the House.

Wouldn’t have mattered if they had. He’s black and he’s dem so rules and laws don’t apply to him. I’m a poet and I know it.
Your feet show it! They’re long fellows.
Because Black Democrats have been getting away with criminal acts/corruption and treason since the 1960’s (Adam Clayton Powell, John Conyers Jr, George Crockett Jr., Danny Davis, Ellison, Waters, etc.)
The barring from office vote is optional.
