Simply Historic. 240-187. Trump condemnation passes the House. A handful of Republicans presumably not up for re-election have voted with the Dems. Michigan Rep. Fred Upton and Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick. Indiana Rep. Susan Brooks are the ones I know of. But...Take a look at the states. They are notable. Michigan. Pennsylvania and Indiana! I wonder if the states these people are from are the states Trump will lose in 2020? Would be interesting to go back to this moment and see that this was the point he lost the election

WASHINGTON — The House voted on Tuesday to condemn as racist President Trump’s attacks against four congresswomen of color, but only after the debate over the president’s language devolved into a bitterly partisan brawl that showcased deep rifts over race, ethnicity and political ideology in the age of Trump.

In the house, all seats are up for election every 2 years...
 
This vote proves the GOP has turned into a party of lemmings.
 
I guess the reason the Democratic Party so hates those 4 women is because they aren't pure white. Thus, the Democratic Party wanted to make it formal that those 4 women are not white as the only relevancy they have in this world. Nothing else about any of those non-white Democratic women has any relevancy whatsoever, nothing they did, do or say, is relevant to anything. All that we need know is that they aren't white like Pelosi.

That resolution...and $4.95...will get you a Pumpkin Spice Latte at a DC Starbucks.
 
Historic hysteria.

But when you have nothing, all you can do is lay on the hate.
 
These poor slobs can get together on this, but not on condemning Anti-Semite Omar?

Perhaps this may be the case for the near future.

But the judgment of the republican party and conservatism by history will get them disgrace

Elaborate on why you approve of “go back to where you came from?”

Don't count on it.

Another right wing propaganda victim. Tell us more about how criticizing Israel means criticizing all Jews. I suppose you think Jews are a hive mind 100% in lockstep with the state of Israel, but somehow think the antisemite is not you.

You have your reasons for referring to 187 GOP members of the House of Representatives as poor slobs.... just as they had their reasons for not condemning Trump.

This is what our elected congressmen and women (to whom we pay outrageous salaries) are doing on our time - playing 'spot the racist'?

Pathetic.

Wait, who are we calling “the house” ya mean fancy Nancy...man she don’t run things anymore, haven’t ya heard, the Squat Squad is running the show now, and man are they gonna be so down after the election when there hi-jacked party hates em...they might have to move back home, to ma’s for soup and a back rub.
 
Do you approve of the President of the United States telling minorities to go back where they came from?

If they're communists spouting hateful racist rhetoric?

Hell yes!

I hope the door hits their sorry whining butts on the way out.

Exactly. That was the funniest thing I've seen in a very long time. First the speaker commits a blatant rules violation, then she forgets an even more important rule and walks out of the room, proving once and for all if she's gone senile and that she's lost control of her people, and then Cleaver throws down the gavel which was hilarious indeed - and THEN the Democrats vote to deliberately break a standing house Rule of Order, but at the last minute they chicken out and withdraw the speaker's comments by unanimous consent, sacrificing the Democratic member (Swallwell) who is least likely to be re-elected.

This whole things couldn't be funnier if you paid for an episode of Three Stooges or Keystone Cops.

Except if you're a concerned citizen interested in seeing our Congress do real work.

In which case you are probably Mighty pissed at this point.

It is as if someone committed mass murder but you complain that the police who took them down committed jaywalking while doing so.
 
From time to time one or t'other House of Congress passes a statement on this or that person. The governmental equivalent of a parent shaking a finger at a child, it's defined as follows:

Censure, n. A process which produces a close shave without drawing blood. A Modern Dictionary, Fragmentary Press, 2016, Chelm, IA

And so it goes.

lol - nah, someone blew a joint in the cops face and they got pissed and wrote a ticket.
