When democrats control the house, republicans get expelled from congress.

When republicans control the house, republicans get expelled from congress.

I’ll ask again - why does ilhan Omar still have a seat? Why does Chinese traitor spy Swalwell still have a seat?! Both have committed real and actual crimes against the United States.

“That’s crazy. We certainly don’t boot any lying, stealing, corrupt Democrats though.”

Republicans: “That’s not who we are.” “We’re better than that.” “We abide by the Marquess of Queensberry Rules.”

Democrats: “LOL”

Had he, that’s for his constituents to decide. This is a case of representatives who weren’t voted into office by Santos’ constituents deciding he can’t be their representative. It’s disgust on my and against what the GOP should stand for regarding federalism and a constitutional republic.

Governors cannot appoint replacements to House seats. Depending on the state’s laws they can choose not to hold the special election to fill the seat.

Thank you, I didn't know that.

From the Congressional Institute:

For a vacancy in the House, Article I, section 2, provides that the chief executive of each state is to call for an election to fill the vacancy. For the Senate, the Seventeenth Amendment, which provided for the popular election of Senators, specifies that the executive should call for an election, and it also allows the state’s legislature to authorize the governor to make a temporary appointment until the special election is held.

“Hochul has 10 days to call a special election.”

It would be highly remarkable if she does not. The Democrat (whoever it is) has at least an 80% chance of winning the low-turnout special election (Democrat voters will be inspired; Republican simps — especially at the RNC — will simply punt), which not only gives the Rats one more seat in the House but gives whichever Democrat scumbag who wins the advantage of incumbency in 2024 and a near-guaranteed win then too.

Deep State us using Santos to send a message.

Screw with us and you’re outta here.

And it looks as though Congress is only too happy to comply.

I think he a warped sicko; even so, this circular firing squad Republicans participate in has got to stop. Besides, apparently Congress is full of warped sickos and CROOKS; they’re just not as out there as this guy is.

Thank you for referencing that article Morgana.

"George Santos EXPELLED from Congress: The Long Island Liar loses his job after Republicans join Democrats to boot him out of Capitol Hill"


FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Democratic and Republican Trump supporters are reminded that they need to be ready ASAP to effectively expel the rest of the likewise compromised House, except for MTG, Gaetz & Company, Jordan (and others), by primary them in 2024.

Voters need to replace incumbents with patriots who will be happy to support Trump to not only finish draining the swamp, but will also support him in surrendering state powers that the very corrupt, unconstitutionally big federal government has stolen from the states back to the states.

In fact, if DC respected its constitutionally limited power to deliver the mail, the mail being one of the very few powers that the states have actually given the feds to dictate domestic policy, the worst problem that the country would otherwise be looking at with a new Congress of Trump-supporting freshman lawmakers is arguably that citizens that would ultimately get into the habit of lightheartedly questioning if the federal government has shutdown if they receive their mail a few days late.

Trump can endorse candidates from lists that patriots who respect the federal government's constitutionally limited powers provide for him, as long as candidates are not incumbents, candidates also promising to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments after they win office.

Consider the repealing of 16&17A as part of reparations for victim taxpayers of the unconstitutionally big federal government for having to pay a lifetime of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers and a few other constitutionally enumerated expenses.

Finally, consider that the electoral college is the only thing stopping the corrupt political parties from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.

I’m waiting for the Babylon Bee Article:

Republicans vote to expel all their members...

as they recognize they have to stand on principle and all members have flouted a campaign finance law or other ethical rule.
