mtutiger Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) The thing about the Paul Gosar video is that, if you're standard is "if I did this thing at work I'd be fired", well, it meets that standard. Meanwhile, in the great halls of our government, 47% of the House apparently thinks that's ok. Edited November 17, 2021 by mtutiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get fired from almost every other workplace in the country for doing this to one of your coworkers. It’s a damn shame how Trunpism has killed the professionalism of Grand Ole Party and in turn taken our entire legislative branch with it.

He was after the dude who was speaker elect or some shit that had to resign over a sex scandal. That dude was after your dude who also resigned over a sex scandal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have to find a new doctor. I can no longer trust her judgement. He might follow him so when the next person says “I heard……”, he can quickly respond “stop listening to Dr Oz”.

pfife Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I believe he retweeted it shortly after McCarthy claimed he deleted it, which undermines McCarthy in multiple ways, as if undermining mccarthy matters at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Franken's existence basically undermined Kevin McCarthy entire case (ie. "Rules for thee, not for me"). Along with Katie Hill for that matter. We can all debate the degree to which each side polices their own and whether it's enough but, objectively, the two parties are not the same on this question at this point in time.
