[commando]

if nancy pelosi said "MTG should be shot in the head"....how long would it take for her to get kicked out of congress?  and what would the far right media say about it?

 

[Archy1221]

What actions are the Republicans doing to move forward with that?

Probably nothing now.  Looks to solved at this point correct?

What were they doing prior to the vote to replace her on committees?

Yes it is solved.  Looks to me like the adults in the room had to take care of it because others wouldn't.

Holy bad takes, Batman!!

The House impeached and the Senate convicted, which included members of both parties. And he was removed from office, not just removed from a committee.

On August 3, 1988, following an investigation by the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, the House of Representatives voted 413 to 3 to adopt H. Res. 499, approving 17 articles of impeachment against Hastings, the greatest number of articles in any impeachment proceeding to date.

The trial committee presented its report on October 2, 1989. Sixteen days later, the trial began in the U.S. Senate, with prosecution and defense given two hours to summarize their cases. The Senate deliberated in closed session on October 19, 1989. The following day, the Senate voted on 11 of the 17 articles of impeachment, convicting Hastings, by the necessary two-thirds vote, on 8 articles (1-5, 7-9). On two articles (6, 17) the vote fell short of the required majority to convict. On article 11, the Senate voted 95 not guilty to 0 guilty. Having achieved the necessary majority vote to convict on 8 articles, the Senate’s president pro tempore (Robert C. Byrd) ordered Hastings removed from office. The Senate did not vote to disqualify him from holding future office.

And then he was reelected, was in line for some pretty sweet committee posts in 2006, but was denied.

Darryl Issa is the guy promoting this false equivalence, so take all this with the largest grain of salt imaginable.

You tell me. What does the lack of action by the Repubs on MTG show us? And how is that connected to the future of the party?

It’s not

Alcee and the Squad proves Dems don’t actually care about decorum or ethics

Do you understand he serves currently with committee assignment.  His bio reads as a what not to do in political ethics.

You know we all know that Alcee was punished in bipartisan fashion. Three times.

Yet there he is, a pillar of the Democrat party.  Vice Chair on Rules no less.
