Rep. George Santos expelled from Congress after 311-114 vote
Yet they can’t even muster the votes to censure Rashida Talib, an open terrorist supporter. Pathetic. Or Maxine Watters either.
If you’re expecting to see some Dems expelled, you’ll be disappointed. You need a 2/3 vote to expel, which means you’d have to get some Dems on board. The Democrats would never vote to expel one of their own.
LOL!
Nope, just trying to clear up some peculiarities people have about the US Constitution, no small task, mind you!
Uh no.
If you don’t like Expulsion of Congressmen, take it up with Madison, etc. It is a very American (descended from British Parliamentary) practice.
I kind of agree. Don’t threaten, just do it.
The only thing Republicans hate more than the people trying to kill them, aka democrats, are their fellow Republicans.
Start with the Muslims in Congress. The law is quite clear that Muslims can't be U.S. citizens because they belong to a group, 'Islam', that advocates the overthrow and destruction of the U.S.A. This should be easy to understand.
Past due time to purge Congress of the Islamic blight.
There are plenty of people who would be willing to rat others out and have him do it.
who’s next?
The list is looong

I understand your sentiment and just a few short years ago might have agreed.
But I believe we are watching something new unfold now. I believe we are setting precedents.
Just as with the egregious and partisan indictments of Trump, we are getting people on record (with votes, tweets, quotes, etc.) for what they deem to be crimes. These will come back to haunt them. Not just haunt them, but be used against them.
In the past, I would have chalked it up to 2-tier justice. And right now we still have 2-tier justice. But IMO that is about to change. So I’m happy to have all these people on record.
(I especially loved hearing nearly every D in Congress (and probably a few Rs) stand up and say on camera “No one is above the law.” during the Trump impeachment trials. I look forward to having that played back in their faces when they (and those they support) are on trial.)
Always the helper. LOL!
I think Madison did not envisage Congress as a career, he intended it to be a temporary gig.
he's got nothing. He's been under attack since day one and his entire life is on display. He appears to be a grade A narcissist and liar.
Regardless, he was elected by the people of his district. Let them vote him out next Nov. THAT is what the Founders intended. NOT a political lynch mob
She should have been jailed.
Okay, I must have missed the part where Santos has been convicted of stealing money.
I dislike this result because, like dfwgator, I believe his walking papers should have come from his constituents.
But let’s be serious: If this guy was a Dem, this thread would be hundreds long with happiness, high-fives, memes, and a sanctimonious chorus of “he admitted to these things.”
