What gets me, is that even though a politician is censured by his or her own party, they still get leadership positions, committee chairmanships, etc. It allows the incumbent a platform in an election year.


Exactly. The GOP specializes in these CYA moves.

He and his staff should be banned from all state GOP events for starters. That will get the Never Trumpers attention. Guaranteed.

Don’t these states have provision for RECALL. What is this censure stuff and primary 2 years later. RECALL NOW.

[This is actually not a big deal. It means state GOPs are writing more stern letters rather than getting behind Trump and using punitive measures to force its members to shape up.]


You expect them to arrange an Al Capone-style rubout in broad daylight?

Would somebody please explain to me how this is true? “Rep. Liz Cheney, the 3rd ranked House Republican is also facing blowback for her impeachment vote.”

Why on earth should she be Third in ranking of anything?

This is EXACTLY why the GOP should be pronounced to be DEAD and BURIED.

The state of South Carolina currently does not have any recall provisions. Source:

“Oh wow I’ll bet the is shaking in his boots with that slap on the wrist!!”

Did you want him summarily executed? Drawn and quartered? Thrown into a wood chipper?

The people in SC know how to take care of traitors thru the voting booth. He’s the next Mark Sanford.

A censure is a punitive measure. And it also means that this guy is going to have trouble getting bucks for his next campaign.

I know we may want to see them drag him out by the heels, but I think that’s against the law and certainly would not be productive. LOL!

Encourage them if you live in this state. If you don’t, encourage them anyway and also, in terms of your own state, get involved with the party if you want to make a change. It’s very discouraging but at least you’ll feel you’ve tried.

In any case, I think the GOP...harmless and useless though it may be ...will soon be virtually illegal. That’s the direction they’re working in.

The real cause of this congressman’s vote as well as the others stems from the failure of the party leader Kevin McCarthy. Same as the senate, when you have weak leaders you do not win. Period.

Get rid of Kevin McCarthy and get a real leader if the republican party wants to win.

” It means state GOPs are getting behind Trump and the GOP is finally trying to make its members shape up.”

You’re right. But organizing and preparing for the next battle will never be enough for FR’s hand-wringers and 50 IQ, brainwashed Soros useful idiots. They wallow in defeatism and pessimism and try to drag down everyone to their pitiable gutter level.

Actually, he, his family, his staff, and his political allies are privately groaning at the likelihood of a strong primary challenge.

Bush League Republicans will flood the field to dilute the vote to protect him, they have this technique down to a science.

Multiple court decisions say that recalls for federal offices are not possible.
