In some jurisdictions false fire alarm activation is a 4’th degree felony.

Childish? Um it’s criminal. McCarthy is a dipshit loser. Guy should be rotting in prison for insurrection.

McCarthy may have “colluded” to have this happen to betray Republicans. This stinks of communist stunt!

McCarthy knocks Bowman

getting knocked by McCarthy might seem unimportant, but I have been assured this ranks right up there with getting a nuggie.

"McCarthy says that as a former school principal, the New York Democrat should know better" ...lol. If it's possible for NY Dem voters to ever be embarrassed, this is it.

Pelosi would have had a Republican brought up on charges of insurrection.

If Marjorie Taylor Green or Lauren Boebert had pulled a fire alarm during a Democrat controlled session all hell would break loose.

It is an insurrection greater than any J6 imprisoned person committed. So what should be done, what should be DONE?
