Ok, nice rip but what was is it in reference to?

17. Rep. Crockett asked the committee "do you know what we're here for?"...

...after the Leader of the House Neanderthal Conference asked if any Democrats on the committee employ Judge Merchan's daughter. Rep. Crockett asked if Rep. Greene knew what the purpose of the hearing was. Rep. Greene spouted off that Rep. Crockett's fake eyelashes were interfering with her reading.

Which, of course, started a shitstorm.

As an aside, I don't think there's a better-dressed member of the House than Jasmine Crockett. Marjorie Taylor Greene, on the other hand, always looks like she's fixin' to go to the gym.

109. Yep

MTG is a genuine low life

[AnrothElf]

91. Three Toes earlier directly said "you" when demeaning Crockett's eyelashes. AOC defended.

Crockett responded -- indirectly, unlike Three Toes -- and all hell broke loose. Loony defended Three Toes. That's who's playing the "calm down" card there at the end.

It does not look serious or professional.

6. Agreed

That was not her finest moment. Of course, it wasn’t theirs either, but screaming is not a good look on anyone.

[choie]

11. That one of the Dems hasn't punched one of the thugs' lights out is a miracle.

I admire their tolerance and discipline.

[AllaN01Bear]

27. there are a number on my curley slap list. and punchables too also.

[Irish_Dem]

30. I agree. Dems live in a hostile work environment where their colleagues

are literally trying to get them killed.

I don't blame them for a few well placed smack downs.

[whathehell]

81. Wait..

I dislike the ReThugs as much as anyone, but you seriously think, as you said, that they're trying to get their Democratic colleagues killed?
I'm sorry, but that does seem a bit over the top.

[agingdem]

80. here's the thing...once the old Dem guard made way for

Hakeem Jeffries and the new leadership, there was no way in hell our guys were going to play nice with the MAGA coup complicit assholes...Jeffries signaled as much when he took the helm..and in the almost two years Jeffries, Aguilar, Neguse, Goldman, Moskowitz, Swallwell, Crockett, Raskin, McGovern, AOC have shackled the MAGA sewer scum to their ridiculous revenge bullshit...spotlighting their bend-over obedience to a criminally indicted sexual predator and tying them to their bogus so-called whistleblowers (foreign agents) and GOP operatives (Robert Hur)

The venomous self-righteous stupidity of the MAGA House creatures..Jordan, Greene, Gaetz, Comer, Boebert, Loudermilk, Gosar, Perry, Biggs, McCarthy (RIP), Johnson must be met head-on with facts and real time slap-back...good for Crockett for shoving a metaphorical fist down MTG's loathsome throat...

[CrispyQ]

104. And I say it's past time we started punching back!

The old guard has taken far too long to face the reality of what their colleagues across the aisle have become—fascist enablers or worse.

I like the young gen messaging! "You want to play dirty? We can play dirty." Hell yeah!

[MutantAndProud]

9. To be fair

They ask for it *all the time*. This is not a dig fyi I’m just going to rant a bit myself…

An outburst every once in a while pales in comparison… not like they cared about the decorum of the chamber when they planned the assault.

[choie]

12. Agree completely.

I'm tired of Dems having to play by the Marquess of Salisbury rules while the rethugs wade in the mud.

32. Absolutely!!!

no more playing nice!...Marge Trash Greene introduced dick pics into the House record, embraced Nick Fuentes, an avowed antisemite, employed a white nationalist collaborator, romanced January 6 felons, disrupted the SOTU screeching invectives at the President of the United States, is a Trump coup accomplice, regularly targets Democratic House members with profane insults...

MAGA House traitors do not deserve courtesy...I applaud Jasmine Crockett for giving it back with words rather than shoving MTG's often referred to butt plugs and dildos down her rancid throat...

(and don't get me started on Luna, a former strip club cocktail waitress, whose bogus resume rivals that of George Santos).

[blm]

16. Oh, they do ask for it. But, mature, thoughtful leadership is our brand.

And I’d like to maintain it.

[stopdiggin]

18. I'd like to maintain - and sell it - as well.

I can certainly understand that people occasionally go off - and there's more than ample provocation ...

But it still doesn't rate any plaudits in this direction.

83. I get what you are saying...

...but "when they go low, we go high" doesn't work with these monsters. People need to stand up to bullies and beat them at their own game.

[MotownPgh]

78. Bullies love to intimidate.

Sometimes you have to give it right back. They count on you being afraid to.

[Irish_Dem]

79. Yes if you stand up to a bully they often back down.

They are cowards.

[Baitball Blogger]

10. It was a point of order. Not a direct insult.

[choie]

13. They're only human.

How much are they supposed to take?

[Cosmocat]

40. That was INCREDIBLE

First, it does not matter how constrained Ds are, the Rs have always railed on how horrible they are.

Second, I have never, I mean never, head any so called "independent" or "moderate" or whatever give Dems credit for acting professional and with grace in the face of the relentless spew of ridiculousness from Rs. Everyone of them go on about "they are both the same."

So, there is not gain in taking this tact, and honestly, serves to embolden Rs to go about their slander unabated.

But, more specifically. The rep put this out as a point of order, which was absolutely brilliant. It was absolutely an appropriate use of rules of order to rejoinder a childish and unconstructive comment by her colleague.

[BlueTsunami2018]

48. All this playing by the rules and taking the high road has gotten us nowhere.

People think our guys are weak and won’t fight back. You have to take a bully and one up them at every turn. Fuck decorum, fuck what’s seemly. You have to do it the Chicago way.

?si=uBAf8S9NKGZmgfW9

[RobinA]

61. So, NOT Coming Back

at her about the false eyelashes would somehow have been a win for Greene? This isn't the street, it's Congress. Not that there's a huge difference these days.

[BlueTsunami2018]

66. Yes, it would.

Why do you think these imbeciles are so popular? Because they act like regular people, regular stupid people yes, but regular people nonetheless.

Congress used to mean something, it doesn’t anymore. I’ve been saying what I said there for two frogging decades now. We play by the rules, they don’t, they always win in the end. You can’t compete against an opponent who has no limitations while you limit yourself because of “the rules”.

We surrendered the field a long time ago.

[aocommunalpunch]

103. Some people just can't help but bring butter knives to gun fights.

This shit excites voters you need. Nobody who isn’t a solid D is impressed with decorum and respect paid to Greene or any conservative. More support for Crockett and her working within the rules to punch MAGAts in the fucking mouth. MOAR!

[RobinA]

59. Absolutely!

Why engage on that BS level? It just fuels the meaningless fire and makes everyone look like they're back in middle school.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

76. True but not the first time she's (MTG) been called such

I remember when MTG did a Tweet condemning transgender people. Many people replied that she appeared rather gender fluid.

[AnrothElf]

117. She didn't act like them. Three Toes tried to bully her. She doesn't just have to sit there and take it.

Comer let Three Toes' words stay on record, so Crockett asked for a point of order on what she was allowed or not allowed to say regarding the appearance of a colleague.

But the Republicans couldn't handle a Black woman standing up for herself, so they tried to shout her down.

She stood up for herself. Period. That's all that happened.

Crockett is DEAD SERIOUS. She's also a fighter.

Apparently you're only allowed to be a fighter if you're a white man.

[blm]

118. I completely get that, and still see

the overall sadness of the exchange.
I can also appreciate that Crockett hit that volley straight back at Greene who deserved every bit of the impact.

[TheBlackAdder]

5. Looking at the video it looks like it could apply to Comer too. 🤣

[Polybius]

23. That's what I thought too!

Caption: Anna Paulina Luna, who is again running for the House seat in Florida's 13th district, has accused three Republican political rivals of trying to murder her

20. "Uh, what now?" the fool Comer says.

113. LOL! I agree. Comer needs to be wearing a dunce hat in the hearings.

[GenThePerservering]

21. The House

has always been a bit rough. People get caned, punched, scream and yell. In the early 19th century everyone arrived armed.

Sometimes, though, it doesn't pay to go 'high when they go low' - we're a lot smarter than they are and can make our blows count. We also don't launch them that often so they really hurt when we do.

Rep. Crockett gets a pass on this one!

[Cosmocat]

42. I would go a step further

it isn't a pass, it was a brilliant use of rules of order to rejoin an inappropriate and unconstructive comment by a colleague.

People spend all day "ignoring" MTG, and that enables her to act like the boorish clown she is.

I imagine she will have a little more respect for her colleague after this.

88. yes. that is correct. i forget which epi.

i am amaized that still i am 66 , the original star trek came on when i was a very small boy. the newer ones were like 25 =30 years ago. tme flies . no?

[MuseRider]

99. LOL

I am 70 and I am amazed as well.

When TNG came out it was a while after New Coke. We were a committed original Coke family and hated the New Coke. I actually saved 4 cans of the old Coke for the 4 of us to drink while we watched the anxiously awaited NEW Star Trek.

Either of those things, TNG (we loved) and New Coke (yuck) could be yesterday or maybe a bit longer.

It was an episode named "Home Soil" 2004 I think. So when did 2004 gt to be so long ago? OMG age is such a funny thing.

CORRECTION It was 1998 arghhhhhhh

68. I strongly disagree

Congresswoman Crockett was justified is her response.

[Bonx]

71. This covers it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distinction_without_a_difference

[LetMyPeopleVote]

85. Are you seriously arguing that Congresswoman Jasime Crockett is the same as MTG?

For the material that you posted to be relevant, you need to be taking the position that the distinguished Congresswoman from Texas who is a member of the bar is the same as the Jewish space laser loving MTG. This is material that you cited for your amusing but wrong comparison.

Distinction without a difference
A distinction without a difference is a type of logical fallacy where an author or speaker attempts to describe a distinction between two things where no discernible difference exists.[1] It is particularly used when a word or phrase has connotations associated with it that one party to an argument prefers to avoid.

I just want to confirm that that this is your position and that MTG and Congresswoman Crockett are the same. I disagree with your amusing but wrong argument.

Congresswoman Crockett is an amazing legislator and is in no way the same as or on the same level as MTG. Here are some examples of Congresswoman Crocket at work

MTG is basically an idiot. Here is one example.

Link to tweet

This controversy arose over a bogus attempt to attack AG Garland on a bogus issue. See https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218958287
Here are the sad attacks that MTG made on behalf of TFG that had no relevance to the issues in this sad hearing

Link to tweet

Things are out of control in the Oversight Committee as there have been repeated outbursts from Marjorie Taylor Greene. The hearing has been tied up after Greene insulted the appearance of another member.

Greene: I would like to know if any of the Democrats on this committee are employing Judge Merchan’s daughter

Crockett: What does that have to do with Garland?

Raskin: Is she a porn star?

Crockett: Do you know what we’re here for?

Greene: I don’t think you know what we’re here for. I think your fake eyelashes are messing up your reading.

Again, if you had read and understood the material you posted, then you need to confirm that you believe that Congresswoman Crockett and MTG are equally at fault in this dispute. If you think that MTG's attacks on Judge Merchan's daughter were appropriate or relevant to the issue in this hearing and that Congresswoman Crockett's comments were inappropriate, please confirm. You are free to believe that Congresswoman Crockett is the same as MTG but the facts do not support your claim.

89. I think what she said was great. But, she could have said it in a more matter-of-fact way

Instead, it sounded like she stooped to her level because IMO the tone she used made it sound petty. I'd drop her grade to an A for that

69. Hers was a thing of exquisite beauty.

I can guarantee that Monday morning, my always-overly concerned coworker who says Democrats-never fight-back will tell me "This isn't a good look. We're better than this." And I'll just look at her and silently think, "I know who you are . You are in no way better than this and never have been."

There are a lot of tools in the political toolbox. The GOP knows how to use the hammer, but only the hammer. Democrats have full access to all tools, including the hammer. Fun to watch it being used against the GOP effectively from time to time. And the Democrats will put the hammer away and reach for the best tool for the next job. But it's always good to have a hammer in the toolbox.

95. First

I can relate to Congresswoman Crockett.


Second - MTG has a bad habit of getting away with nonsense.
Comer succumbed to a white woman's tears - but she wasn't crying. He felt some misplaced need to defend a spoiled ignorant little brat.

Three - until proven wrong - MTG was liquored up.

Four - Bobo is vying for the VP job. Hence her comments.

Five -"Why won't you debate me?". MTG to AOC. She WAS debating you -ya freaking gutter rat.

Six - America got a look into how women of color speak about these people when it's just us in the room.

Seven - That was a retort of great beauty.

MTG shouldn't have gone there. Attack an accomplished, elegant, well turned out black woman - this is what you get. MTG's lack of grace and accomplishment eats at her. She will never be a Crockett - and she knows it. Her jealousy at being "less than" shined through.

She is Less Than - and always be. And in the gutter myself . . .

Even Weird Barbie would make her Go Beach with the Kens.
