The consequences of @RepMattGaetz
and the Merry Morons in storming a SCIF:

None will ever pass a FBI background check for a higher position.

None will ever be allowed access to classified information.

You cant blithely break laws on SCIFs and think there are no consequences.

4. Every one of these idiots has just committed a crime, apparently to cover-up their own prior crimes.

Now every one of them will be intensely investigated to find out:

"WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?"

Genius stunt.

[DENVERPOPS]

16. Really?

I can hardly wait for the DOJ and Barr to start an investigation.......Sarcasm.....

And as far as no future security clearances, please check on Trump's Spawn not having been able to pass the Top Secret clearance....

[lagomorph777]

34. I didn't mean Barr, obviously.

I mean the journalists who have flourished in the age of Trump.

[Sneederbunk]

5. Looks like almost all of the GOP House Crackpot Wing.

[Nitram]

10. No, sadly. The entire GOP is a Crackpot Wing at this point.

[TruckFump]

6. I would like to know what states/districts these goons rep.

Everyone of them should get calls to their offices from local residents to let them know how bad this is.

This is the difference between the Repuke goons and Dems -- if a Dem had done anything like this, you can bet he/she/they would be called out by Dems.

[YOHABLO]

7. Matt Gaetz represents the most RW part of FL. The western panhandle.

Or as we use to call ''lower Alabama''.

[TruckFump]

8. I am trying to find out if any of these idiots are from SoCal.

I would love to call a few local offices and give them a piece of my mind.

That stunt was not only juvenile, but stupid beyond words.

[Perseus]

12. "juvenile, but stupid beyond words." Would you really expect anything else from the idiots on the

list?

They are all morons...Jim Jordan, Gaetz, etc...

The entire republican party seems to be suffering from some kind of psychopathic illness, the stuff they do is insane. They have no concept of thinking before acting, it seems they all suffer from a lack of understanding of consequences...morons, all of them.

[TruckFump]

14. Jordan and Gaetz, they don't even scrape the bottom of the barrel

It's like they do not even have enough quality to make it into the barrel. I taught continuation High School in the barrio years and years ago and each and everyone of my students had more maturity than that bunch of morons.

[trof]

17. Byrne is 'my' congresstooge. Dist. 1, AL.

Where else?

[TruckFump]

21. I am looking to see who is from Calif, particularly SoCal

I am in a telephoning-letter writing mood!

[Cha]

22. Thank you, MelissaB!

25. that is a special kind of stupid, even for GOPers

[Cha]

26. Let the GOP forever be known as the political party that wiped their asses with the US Constitution

[Hermit-The-Prog]

27. "two bit game show host"? that's awfully generous

You can still buy bubblegum for two bits, right? Much better return on investment, unless you're Russian.



That tweet should have thousands "talking about" it.

[Salviati]

29. If trump were priced at what he's worth, you could buy him for a ha'penny...

...and expect change back.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

30. need a new coin: trumpence, 2 for a ha'penny

[smirkymonkey]

2. They're republicans.

They'll find a way around it. They always do. There will be no consequences.

[Garrett78]

11. More than likely, sadly.

How did the standoff end? I've been busy at work.

[smirkymonkey]

15. I'm not sure, I was working too, so just got my info here. Last I heard they were

stuffing pizza into their smug, pasty, fat old faces while they tweeted out messages and blamed the tweets on their staff in the hallway. I didn't get much further than that.

[Marcuse]

9. This White House hands out security clearances like cookies.

And declassifies anything to anybody as expedient.

[onethatcares]

13. I'd write them to express my disgust but

I don't think they have the thought process to understand it.

they're like a bunch of school yard children who didn't get their recess and a piece of candy.

As a Floridian they all make me sick.

[fierywoman]

18. Are these the Republicans who got funding from Russia via the NRA?

[Hortensis]

19. Well, THIS is nice to hear. Thanks, MelissaB.

I read that some of them were on committees with representatives in that room. And Bloomberg says Trump knew about the stunt in advance and thought it was a really great idea.

No surprise I was right in assuming this was "coordinated into the highest level of the house leadership," and senate, but thoughts really should have ranged to the Wannabe Dictator in Chief.

[dameatball]

20. I doubt these dips would have done it if they thought there would be serious consequences. I hope I

am 100% wrong, but not that optimistic.

[hughee99]

23. Were they aware of what the rules were? Nt

[spanone]

24. K&R...

[susanr516]

28. Randy Weber, Pete Olson, and Louie Gohmert

are all from Texas. Don't know which districts they represent, other than Gohmert's district is in NE Texas and includes Tyler.

[Celerity]

31. Louie Gohmert is where decency, fairplay, innate justice, intelligence, and light itself go to die.

[NCLefty]

32. I'll believe this when I hear it actually happened.

Is the FBI going to make enemies of this many Republican congressmen? I think they'll overlook it.

[flying-skeleton]

33. For perspective ...

Trump would never pass an FBI background check., yet he became President. So you think these Republican morons care of the consequences. I think not.
