Democrats broke into open warfare Thursday over Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s surrender to the Senate’s emergency border aid package, with the caucus’s long-simmering divide between progressives and centrists playing out in dramatic fashion on the House floor.
Some lawmakers even resorted to public name-calling, with progressive leader Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) accusing moderate Democrats of favoring child abuse — an exchange on Twitter that prompted a pair of freshmen centrists to confront him directly on the floor, with other lawmakers looking on in shock...
….“I think the Problem Solvers Caucus is emerging to be this tea party within our own Democratic Party,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) told POLITICO. “I find their tactics to be extremely concerning. It’s horrifying. It’s horrifying.”

if you read no other article from Politico this year, this is the one that is a popcorn-ready, blowup-by-blowup, exploding-heads gem of a read of what Dems were doing today, while on the other side of the aisle, the Reps quietly celebrated finally getting some disaster relief aid passed.
Enjoy!
I watched both debates in their entirety ... shocking and saddening.
If Trump wins reelection prepare for mass riots. Period.
How so?
They're NOT shocked, horrified, saddened, troubled, etc. etc. They're on stage emoting. That's all.
The Demonrats are coming apart at the seams. I love it!
Are you prepared for mass riots? Maybe I’ll just vote for Trump anyway. Bullets or gold, ya can’t take it with you. Know what I mean?
“...If Trump wins reelection prepare for mass riots. Period....”
At this point, I believe it’s “when”, not “if”. Regardless, let em go into full blown riot mode and let’s meet it head on and finish this BS off...once and for all. If they cannot accept the ballot box, perhaps they need a little whiff of the ammo box. Most commies do.
That will end the democrat party. People only think of Democrats and Republicans, but there is a group larger than either, the independents. If democrats riot, they will lose the independents for a generation at least, and they cannot get elected without them.
“Progressives” = Stalinists
“Centrists” = Marxists
Inevitable.
I could barely stand five minutes of last night, saw about one minute tonight. I salute you and your endurance.
Socialism, a lot of government meddling in very near everything ...
They seem energized but I did [both tonight and yesterday] feel the enthusiasm was fueled by Millennials primarily ...or “youngsters” from my perspective.
Shocking in that this generation has moved so thoroughly against the Founder’s ideals.
Thanks blueplum.

Thanks blueplum.
more drama before the vote today: According to the daily mail:
House Republicans, in a great display of theater, lined up on the House floor Thursday morning to ask the chamber take up the Senate bill for a vote.
They all gave some same version of the legislative request: ‘I asked unanimous consent to take the speaker’s from the speaker’s table HR 341 with the Senate amendment there to and concur in the Senate amendment. This bipartisan bill passed the Senate with 84 votes and could be sent to the president’s desk for his signature today.’
One by one they made a motion only to be denied by Democratic Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee of Texas, who was presiding over the chamber.
Thanks for you posts with those great links; so nice to have them all in one place!
My pleasure. I screwed up and posted twice in the same topic, but I guess the online culture can take the hit. :^) Thanks nopardons.
Not sure what PING LIST this is, but if I'm not on it, would you please add me to the list? Thanks!
