1. While I agree wholeheartedly with the statement, it is ultimately meaningless...

unless and until the rest of the Congress signs on.

2. House Democratic leadership release a statement blasting Congresswoman Boebert's comments

5. That's a good start, but there's other leadership that has to be convinced, or forced.

6. Rt TY for informing!

[Hortensis]

8. WTF about "the REST of congress"?

50 Democratic senators and 220 Democratic house reps are ALL wholeheartedly in agreement with this statement by a Democratic caucus.

The "REST" are Republicans.

[live love laugh]

15. I think that's the point. Until the RW rhetoric is aggressively addressed this may not mean a lot.

[Hortensis]

18. Live, Democrats aggressively address this issue by our very existence.

The racist RW are not at all mistaken about who's who. They hate us because they've been losing to us on issues of equality all their lives, no more so than the past 20 years.

This CBC statement is against RW racists.

That's how they need it to be taken. Honestly.

* NOT as meaningless. (!)
* NOT to denigrate the Democratic CBC, portraying them as victims instead of a powerful caucus.
* NOT weaponized and turned against them and their Democratic Party.

7. The weeds have a way to eat up the good seeds, we need gardeners to keep the weeds away

These thugs need to be made accountable, a letter will not do it, they need to be sanctioned or better yet kicked out of Congress.

Greene was removed from her committees, did that do anything to stop her being the jackass she is? Nope...Will these letters do anything to stop Boebert? Nope.

Stick & stones will break my bones but words will never hurt.

4. I'm wondering if that group of particularly nutty congressmen (women) are trying

to get themselves censured and/or pulled off of committees on purpose. Like they think it's some sort of badge of honor that they can run to their districts and paradoxically claim that they're working so hard for their constituents that the Democrats are trying to stop them. That's just the kind of logic that appeals to RWers. Expect more of this shit from the ones who are particularly deplorable, like Gaetz and Gohmert and Brooks and others who haven't gotten into trouble yet. Of course, I expect them to be in front of the Jan. 6 Committee eventually.

9. They thrive on the attention. Empty Greene has been bragging about being fined $60K...

(so far) for refusing to wear a mask.

10. They are the ignorant bullies who sat in the back of the class in school.

Now they think they are 'getting back' at all the other kids who didn't give a flying fuck about them.

They all need to be figuratively if not literally 'tarred and feathered' and run out of the USA on rails.

They have given up their right to decency and respectability by their continuously putrid words and actions.

They are not rebels with a cause - they are causeless racist bigoted evil ugly stupid boring shameless 'back of the classroom' lazy stupid clueless 'attention whore' divisive selfish idiots.

All of them make me puke.



And the folks who actually voted for them make me puke even more.



Rant over.

11. THAT..........

is one amazing sentence!

"They are not rebels with a cause - they are causeless racist bigoted evil ugly stupid boring shameless 'back of the classroom' lazy stupid clueless 'attention whore' divisive selfish idiots."

12. Thanks. nt

[Skittles]

13. kudos to the Black Caucus

this woman needs to be held accountable, her behavior is vile

[tavernier]

14. They should just all reply with

Blah Blah Blah

every time she opens her mouth. Anything else just brings her the attention she wants. Just show the world what a joke she really is.

[oldsoftie]

17. I actually think thats a great idea. Make fun of them

Everything else just lets them think "I'm getting under their skin!"

[Hotler]

19. Every time she opens her mouth on the floor, the gallery should go blah blah blah blah

until Nancy calls for order.

[tavernier]

20. Exactly

[sarchasm]

16. KnR!!
