House votes to remove Republican extremist Marjorie Taylor Greene from committee roles

Vote largely along party lines serves as rebuke over congresswoman’s incendiary and racist statements

The US House of Representatives has voted to strip the extremist Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia of her committee assignments, in a stark rebuke over her incendiary and racist statements.

Greene has been a stated supporter of the QAnon myth, for years pushing unfounded conspiracy theories and lies that included racist and antisemitic tropes.

The vote split largely along party lines, with 230 voting in favor and 199 voting against. Just 11 Republicans, including Adam Kinzinger and Brian Fitzpatrick, joined with Democrats to strip Greene of her positions on the House budget and education and labor committees.

Just before the vote, the House majority leader, Steny Hoyer, the second-highest-ranking Democrat in the chamber, delivered an impassioned speech against Greene’s hostile behavior towards other lawmakers.

He displayed a poster of an image that Greene had posted on Facebook that showed her holding an AR-15 with the set of the progressive lawmakers in Congress known as “the Squad” in the background. The poster read: “Squad’s worst nightmare”.

Censorship. Freedom of speech. Victimisation. Etc etc etc.

Of course.

Republicans only make deals with republican presidents:

“Republicans were good with $160 billion for state and local funding when Donald Trump was president, and that number now is zero,” the official said, referring to the group of 10 senators’ proposal.

“If they want to have a serious conversation about a relief package that gets help to the folks who need it, let’s start with how much in local funding they were willing to give Donald Trump,” the source said.

Republicans who sat down with Biden for more than two hours thought they made good progress and were surprised when White House press secretary Jen Psaki immediately issued a statement reining in GOP expectations of a deal.

Psaki said Biden “reiterated his view that Congress must respond boldly and urgently and noted many areas which the Republican senators’ proposal does not address.”

They actually DID get a number of amendments in, same as Obamacare, but then did not vote for the bill

Good bye Republicans, hello Greene party. Bring your gun.

These definitions are accurate. Politicians no longer represent the people, they represent the highest bidder. I move that after two years a politician is recalled and put on trial, not by the party adherents but by the people he is supposed to represent. if found wanting, they should be incarcerated and used for transplants for as long as possible, and, whatever is left at the end, should be used for pet food.

I think they should stop being coy, and in 2024, have each candidate choose a more honest 'VP'.

So, Trump/Amazon running for the Reps, opposing Harris/Alphabet for the Dems.

I think it IS ridiculous, but imagine how much fun it would be subjecting those corporate 'persons' to the same humiliating tactics used against other politicians...

It's that good ol' Republican straight talk that will save the day for the party in the end.

Del. John Mcguire is speaking against legalization of marijuana. He said he had 7-8 people cry in his arms when he knocked their door. He said they were crying because their child overdosed. I have strong doubts that these people's kids OD'd on weed.

Del. McGuire is right. We have a drug problem in Virginia, and legalizing marijuana will only lead to more marijuana overdoses and deaths. Democrats want more marijuana deaths. As your governor I would never allow marijuana to be legalized.

- Senator Amanda Chase · Feb 5, 2021

Apparently Delegate McGuire did indeed tell tall tales when he spoke against legalization. The Virginia state senator who's running for governor didn't post an attaboy though.

You know you're the front runner for Governor when your opponent starts trying to duplicate your social media accounts. Make sure you're following the @AmandaChaseVA not the counterfeit account @SenAmandaChase. We've reported and now investigating.

- Senator Amanda Chase; Front-runner for Governor · Feb 6, 2021

What the hell, Senator? You told me to set this account up. That’s it. I quit. Not being your social media coordinator anymore. Good luck finding other people to run your campaign.

Nice find, that kind of stupidity needs to be smoked out.

It made me choke on my cannabis smoke.

Or maybe it was just the cannabis smoke.

Careful. That stuff is lethal.
