    pardon my ignorance but what the fuck does a censure mean? Rep Gosar got censured today for posting a video threatening AOC basically. I understand he was stripped of his committee assignments, but aside from the House saying "you did bad," what are the actual ramifications of a censure?

    It means he did a very bad thing and mommy Congress is very disappointed in how he has behaved. In a society where shame still existed, it might matter. In our current society? Nah.

    They did strip his committee assignments though, which at least is a tangible consequence.

    dear god this crap needs to be overhauled so bad

    If I were to tell my 7 year old to behave or else he gets "censured" he'd laugh and say "worth it."

    If Republicans weren’t pussies they’d vote to expel these embarrassing handi-tards like him and Greene, instead they choose to let them hang around, do nothing but harm and clog up the gears.

    Dude, the Republicans are all in on overthrowing democracy. They throw out anyone who dares to stand in there way, like Liz Cheney.

    To be fair, Gosar should have been expelled from Congress a long time ago.

    Didn't all 5 of his siblings put out a commercial begging the electorate "Please, don't vote for our brother"?

    6 out of 9 technically. And one of the remaining was the former chair of the Wyoming Democratic Party, so I assume he's not the biggest fan of his brother either.

    Remember, Greta Thunberg and David Hogg were teenagers who were too young to know what they were talking about, and were clearly just puppets for their parents' views, but this second grader who is actively being prodded by the Governor and keeps looking off-screen for guidance from her parents is an independent medical professional whose concerns we should all heed:

    He's the President, so it's not just an ordinary camera. Denis Villeneuve is directing that camera and stills have already leaked to the media:

    The asshole of Texas

    Okay, I'll admit that I didn't read any of the BBB bill, but if what you say is true, I've got a question:

    Are the Democrats (the ones who wrote this bill) really that economically illiterate, or are both parties waging war on the middle-class?

    I am planning on starting a small business soon, probably next year. But if what you say is true, all the investment/ losses I've accrued over the last couple of years will be wiped out with this plan.

    "Trump's"* tax plan has already fucked me by not being able to deduct work expenses. FUCK anyone who says that plan was good for anyone but the wealthy.

    Juice, I'm looking in your direction.

    Now the Democrats want to fuck me again? No wonder so many idiots joined the Trump/ Republican bandwagon.

    *We all know that Trump didn't really write this himself, nor did he plan the Afganistan pull-out. He was tweeting the whole time.

    Beto will never be elected dog-catcher in Texas.
    His career as a politician in Texas IS OVER.
    I'm saying this as a native Texan, and I wanted him to win the Senate race in 2018.
    After he lost, he just went crazy...

    Do you have ANY idea how many "COME AND TAKE IT" bumper stickers I see every day, but the cannon is replaced with an AR-xx?

    I seriously thinking he's pulling some kind of grift at this point.

    Gun grabbers don’t work around here. An AR15 is the f150 of guns. That’s why it’s used in all the mass shootings. Everyone’s got one and you can get a range-ready rifle for about $500-600. Abbott sucks ass and I won’t vote for him. But if Beto wants to push this anti gun shit in Texas, he will lose by 10 points.

    Louisiana elected a Democrat governor because he was pro gun and anti abortion. This happened years ago. The fact that no Democrat in Texas can be bothered to look slightly east to figure that shit out says a lot about where they are.

    This dumb shit happens a week and change after a major gun manufacturer announces a move to Texas. Fucking stupid.
