Paul Gosar: "Any anime fans out there?"

That video was reasonable for some Republicans, but voting for infrastructure? That is unforgivable.

"I hope everybody in your fucking family dies," the caller reportedly added, saying the Republican lawmaker was a "fucking piece of shit traitor."

The Biden 13 who voted for infrastructure should be removed from their committee assignments?

“Gosar was not censured because of his views, as noxious as they are, but because of his inability to share an office with others. It was about ‘workplace harassment and violence against women,’ Pelosi
1. Yes, she is right. I'll further that and say that Gosar is a disgrace because of his actions leading up to Jan 6th and his association with anti-Semites and Holocaust deniers.
2. Raise the bar on ethics and decorum, but do it across the aisle.
“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out, and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,” -- Waters in 2018
While Waters' comments were not under Pelosi's tenure as Speaker, Pelosi did speak out against Waters and laid most of the blame at Trump's feet for creating the environment of incivility. She was correct, but should have went further in 2018 and could have actually done something to change the environment. It is an example of who she is a leader for and like most in Congress, it doesn't seem to me to be for the people as a whole.
Pelosi is right.
The chance that we may be looking at another Biden-Trump election in our future means these folks aren't really doing much

I don't think there is anything she could have done to change the environment because Republicans think they are entitled to lead, but since you think she could have changed the environment what do you think should have been the first thing she did to effect that change?

Bill Maher predicted that evil ahole Trump would try to stay in the White House, and that the Trumptards would use violence.
This also applies to the 2024 elections, because evil ahole Trump has corrupted the republican party and they will use any underhanded or illegal tactics to try to win the next election and destroy American democracy.

Wake up republicans and get rid of evil ahole Trump before it's too late!!!

I haven't seen Mike since I asked this question, I would sincerely and honestly like to know what he thinks Pelosi should have done to change the tone of congressional Republicans. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

McCarthy earlier this month: “They’ll have committees. They may have other committee assignments. They may have better committee assignments.”
Marjorie Greene: “[McCarthy] doesn't have the votes that are there, because there's many of us that are very unhappy about the failure to hold Republicans accountable, while conservatives like me, Paul Gosar, and many others just constantly take the abuse by the Democrats. The American people aren't going to have it.”
Here's her intellect at work:

@mikexmoran Should we blame Speaker Pelosi for trashy Lauren Boebert's behavior?

What, no Howitzer? Maybe it's in the garage.
They think they are being edgy or "owning the libs", but most normal people probably roll their eyes because it just looks so fucking stupid. I hope they realize they are inspiring ridicule and not the outrage they are looking for. (spoiler alert: they don't)
