Something that has been lacking in Washington for a long time and actually non-existent since 2016, accountability.

No, you are advocating complete mob rule in the house. If the majority of house members do not like one of the representatives they ban them from committees. This vote has no basis in anything other than pettiness. She is a member in good standing that has committed no crimes or ethics violations yet she and her constituents are being punished.

The fact this is a story is why Dems win. They are never forced to answer for themselves. Instead it’s always Republicans on the defensive. When were the conferences to vote Maxine Waters out of the house? Omar off her committees? It’s why the left LOVES identity politics. It’s an easy game to constantly accuse your opponents of being racist so they spend all their time and energy just having to defend themselves. And they can conveniently deflect from having to talk about the real issues

If anyone has an issue with what Waters, Omar or anyone else has dome then contact your representative and complain. I personally like that this woman is in Washington, she's a cancer to the GOP and they'll have to worry about her and what she's saying. She thinks she's Trump but most likely she's a 1 term Rep...well maybe she is Trump

Well, we all know both parties are vindictive at every opportunity, so this is no news. I agree that the democrats need to be careful not to channel McCarthyism... but if there are singular instances of a fringe crazy person across the aisle (as there is in this case) then they should be checked. Republicans gave her the appointment strictly to get a reaction out of democrats so they could play the victim card without any real consequences... and round and round they go.

I guess you support his committee assignments be stripped as were hers huh?

Fine by me. I don't see where committee assignments are guaranteed in the constitution. They can still vote. Can still present bills to be considered.

Nicole Malliotakis Adds an Asterisk on Her Vote to Remove Greene from Committees

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) was one of just 11 Republicans to vote in favor of the successful resolution to remove the controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylore Greene (R-GA) from her assigned committees, including the House Education and Labor Committee, and the House Budget Committee. The final tally was 230-199.

But while Malliotakis was on board with this ousting, she added an asterisk to her vote. Now that they've done right on their side of the aisle, according to the congresswoman, she argues that it's time for the Democrats to do the same and vote out a couple of their own controversial characters from their respective committees. Namely, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) for his ties to a suspected Chinese spy, and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who's been known to make anti-Semitic comments.

Stupid move on her part. She should have voted not to remove Greene unless dims removed their riff raff, too. This is what the GOP doesn't understand and Trump did; you have to get in the hog pen with dims, get dirty in the mud with them, and beat them at their own game. Otherwise you are wasting your time and just annoying the pigs (dims).

Committees are who decides what gets voted on. It's a terrible precedent to start setting.

The punishment of removing someone from committees has everything to do with stripping them of any value to the lobbyist who line congressmens pockets and fund their reelection campaigns.

When the house flips in a couple of years, the republicans will need to remind dims about their pettiness - stripping membership and trying to oust elected members. They won't and the dims know it - that's the problem with the GOP - no balls.

I hope the first thing they do is impeach Biden for soiling his pants on government property, that has to be against the law doesn't it?

Like Mitch or hate Mitch, he is the master of taking new precedent and shoving it right up the Dems collective asses.

Agreed. It's funny to watch. They freak out even when he tells them what he's going to do back when given the opportunity. Then they act all shocked and dismayed. I just shake my head and say "Well he warned you."

But, what he said is 100% the truth. If you want to live in a socialist country, I know of some. I’m sure you’d love it there. I’m not telling you to leave. But, I can give you some options if you get a wild hair. Or, you get tired of being free and taking advantage of what America offers.

Sub committes are clubs within the club and receive classifed briefings that maybe non-committes do not receive to bring bills to the floor. Layers of obfuscation to a republic. The great game which we are all a part.

No he doesn't.

I've attempted to engage him in other threads and posted archive links from left/right/academic peer reviewed sources. He accused me of posting drivel from google, went back to his fantasy narrative, and never responded to my rebuttal.

At least Luth, Evil, Septic, Finka, and several others can be witty and make me laugh at times.

This one's a zealot with little to no capacity for original thought.
