GOP eyes booting Democrats from seats if House flips

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Multiple House Democrats who are frequent top targets of the far right face the prospect of losing their committee assignments if Republicans win back the chamber next year.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has threatened to retaliate after Democrats stripped GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Paul Gosar (Ariz.) of committee seats this Congress, warning that some liberal lawmakers "will need the approval of a majority to keep those positions in the future."

None of the Democrats singled out by McCarthy as examples of who could be removed from House committees have embraced conspiracy theories or promoted violence against their political opponents the way Greene and Gosar have.

McCarthy has also pledged to restore Gosar's and Greene's committee assignments.

1. If those GOD DAMN TRAITORS take back the House, we will have bigger problems.

Life and death problems.

4. That's right

They’re pushing democracy over the edge. The whole midterms should be about that. Forget policy debates and culture wars. Put the spotlight on their utter contempt for democracy and keep it there.

2. They're going to look so silly when they lose. Again.

3. Just out of curiosity, what were you saying about Terry McAuliffe before the election in Virginia?

I like confidence, but I'm scared.

6. History is on their side along with the recent gerrymandering

Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump all suffered major House loses in midterms during their Presidencies. Granted Bush’s big midterm House flip was during his second term because he was still riding his 9/11 approval wave in 2002 and we hadn’t invaded Iraq yet.

5. Yep, they'll be watching for the first tweet criticizing Israel

And start screaming about anti-semitism

[msongs]

7. gee you'd think dems in the senate would pass the election protection agenda nt

[Johonny]

8. Given the committees will do nothing under the GOP anyway

It's not like it's a loss. You have to have policies and plans to make the threat worth while. Since they plan to do nothing, who gives a crap.

[madville]

11. They'll launch nonstop "investigations" and issue tons of subpoenas

Hoping someone ignores one so they can go with contempt charges. They’ll have department heads, Dr. Fauci, etc. Yep testifying before the House committees on a weekly basis.

[gratuitous]

9. Keep counting them chickens

Meanwhile, Democrats are busy making sure people are registered to vote and know the peculiarities of voting in their precincts.

[BlueIdaho]

10. Wouldn't it be fucking refreshing

If these assholes spent their time thinking about how they could improve the lives of ordinary Americans instead of plotting ill advised personal revenge schemes? I know I’m asking a lot here but why can’t they pretend to love their country long enough to pull their heads out of their asses once in a while?

15. ALL THEY DO IS PERFORM FOR THE CULT NOW

THAT'S IT - IT IS INSANE

12. Corrected the piece

Original text:

None of the Democrats singled out by McCarthy as examples of who could be removed from House committees have embraced conspiracy theories or promoted violence against their political opponents the way Greene and Gosar have.

Corrected:

None of the Democrats have embraced conspiracy theories or promoted violence against their political opponents the way Greene and Gosar have.

My own comment:
Kevin is an asshole.

13. Well duh! Politics ain't tiddlywinks! Nt

14. HOW CAN ANYONE VOTE FOR THESE FUCKING ASSHOLES

IT'S FUCKING RIDICULOUS, THEY ACT LIKE HIGH SCHOOL BULLIES
