    There are at least 3 resolutions in the House (probably more by now) calling for the censure of Al Green. 193, 197, 189. I would frame those and hang them outside my office.

        Any idea what the ramifications are for getting censured? I might be willing to vote for my own censure just to stick my thumb in someone’s eye.

        edit: nothing. No ramifications. I definitely would vote for my own censure.

    Many Democrats voted to censure him. Please, tell me more about how they’re actually, totally, not controlled opposition.

        Insane America has a Neo Nazi admin and the party is even allowing it’s members to vote to censure the only who had the balls to actually stand up to him and derail the speech. Fuckin shameful.

        That’s 10 too many, and just one example of Democratic complicity in this fascist takeover. One of the DNC’s most influential strategists, James Carville, has recommended that Democrats “roll over and play dead,” and the majority seem to be taking that advice to heart.

      There’s multiple in the building. I’d argue that being made when America was still a slave state genociding a continent isn’t better, nor when the country was in the middle of Jim Crow.

      There was a period when neither fact was true, and then neoliberals immediately started merging corporation and state.
