Good job framing your own totally obvious and reasonable decision as “unprecedented”.

NotBruceZ · July 21, 2021, 4:54pm

Maybe it’s okay to play the villain.

Only Pelosi has the courage and conviction to do the obviously correct and only choice, once every 100 times she has a decision to make. Let’s give her a medal.

Riverman · July 21, 2021, 5:06pm

Letting the other three assholes stay on is such idiot Democrat Brain nonsense.

“We will show the world we are committed to bipartisanship and fairness!” Get the fuck out of here the entire GOP is explicitly pro-insurrection, stop legitimizing terrorism.

LOL she’s asking McCarthy to name 2 other people so it’s still going to be 5-5. FOAD Nancy.

fwiw it’s set up to be 8-5 so even if he hadn’t pulled all of his people off it would still be ruled by the Ds. Agree with the lol dem sentiment in general though.

I wish we had the kind of trolls in the Dem party that would keep inviting them to nominate replacements and then issue a statement every single time as they nominate more people that, sorry, they can’t accept Nazis.

Earlier McCarthy was threatening Rs who participated. Something changed his mind?

Marksman · July 21, 2021, 5:42pm

Dick.

L.Washington · July 21, 2021, 5:42pm

He was threatening Rs who accepted one of the 8 seats that Nancy controlled.

NotBruceZ · July 21, 2021, 5:43pm

I liked Ted Cruz better when he was in Cancun.

Can Dems add Liz Cheney to the committee, block all other GOP, and then claim it’s bipartisan? Why the fuck even bother letting GOP add people to it. No one cares.

mosdef · July 21, 2021, 6:12pm

They care because their precision self delusions demand that they work with the “good” Republicans and craft a perfectly triangulated compromise.

StimAbuser · July 21, 2021, 6:34pm

Fuck it. Progressives say either pass voting to rights or we nuke the debt ceiling and the country collapses.

I feel like this might be one situation progressives have leverage.

Actually I don’t know what happens if the debt ceiling isn’t raised but if a lot of rich people lose money maybe they will cave.

Passing voting rights is legit live or die for democracy

StimAbuser · July 21, 2021, 6:36pm

Bi partisan doesn’t matter. Right wing media and everyone on the right is going to ignore anything found. This would just give a showcase for asshole republicans to lie and muddy the water.

Better to not include them at all.

Fatboy8 · July 21, 2021, 6:52pm

Uhh, the rich people are also democrats. Feels like the democrats would lose that game of chicken.

StimAbuser · July 21, 2021, 7:11pm

Talking about just the progressives. Enough of them in the house to stop it.
