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.”

“The GOP is likely to take over in 2022”

I guess you slept through both the Presidential and Georgia run off fraudulent elections.

It takes a 2/3 vote of the members present to expel a member. No problem. They will prevent enough GOP members from entering the chamber so they get their 2/3.

Actually if they expelled the entire GOP, they’d be doing the country a huge favor!

Republicans wouldn’t even stand up against a stolen election. They deserve exactly what they get coming to them.

Have no use for them,

Theft is good.

Anyone who complains about theft is evil.

Newspeak is doubleplusgood!

The GOP will never win another election. Democrats will see it to they don’t.

They perfected the art of stealing elections in broad daylight. GOP didn’t care about election integrity.

Why should we care about them? Its going to go off to where parties go to die.

I’m not advocating for anything specific at this time (so chill out NeverTrump lurkers/trolls looking to report people), but there ARE people that won’t just sit back and let things happen. That’s not to say I know how big that group actually is. But as recent events have made clear, the bad guys are starting to cross lines to the point where some people are starting to resist.

Trump voters won’t show up in 2022, assuming elections are still being held.

They demand a war and blaming it on us. Wait for the mandated 100 days of complete lock down.

The gates of hell are bursting with the pressure.

No! Those people were voted in. There are many conservative women in that group.

House races aren’t Statewide races like Presidential and Senate races.

The courts have washed their hands off it. Its all moot. We’re living in a dark time and the ascension of the American Lukashenko, as illegitimate as he is, is only a taste of what’s coming.

And we’re the targets. The GOP can’t be relied upon to protect us.

Snowden showed that we live in a time in history of _extreme_ surveillance.

_Anything_ electronic must be assumed to be monitored by the “authorities”.

That makes serious organization (without the complicity of insiders—as we definitely see with Antifa/BLM) very unlikely.

Enough said on that topic....
