    Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) on Tuesday issued some embarrassing reminders to Republicans during their House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing on crime in Washington.

    “I’m so excited that my colleagues across the aisle care about sexual abuse considering that the front-runner right now for the presidency has just been found liable of sexual abuse,” said Crockett, in an apparent response to election denier Rep. Anna Paulina Luna’s (R-Fla.) comments about rising cases.

    “My Republican colleagues want to talk about keeping the streets of D.C. crime-free” but they “can’t even keep the halls of Congress crime-free,” said Crockett, who has co-sponsored a bill to expel Santos from Congress.

    My freshman colleague has just been indicted on 13 felony counts. But have they exhibited any courage to say, ‘You know what, we will not allow this in our body. We will disallow this in our body. We will make sure that we expel this individual?’” she asked.

    “They have not,” Crockett answered her own question. “So, what I don’t want to hear is that they care about crime because if they did they would start by cleaning up our own house and mind our own business instead of coming after D.C.”

    Righties don't care about crime when it's their own. Hell look at who they want for president.

    You voted in a pedophile.

    And Joe's likely going to have to answer for his own sexual abuses once he steps out of office if he's still alive that is.

    Let's not throw stones in glass homes.

    The wrong person won in 2020. And that's backed up by the fact that our economy sucks half the world's dropping our currency and socially we are more divided than we've ever been since the sixties, race hate crimes is up and we've rediscovered segregation under this administration which seems to love to hyper focus on race.

    So I'm sorry what were you bitching about again? Oh yeah January 6th. January 6th the most violent riot that you can come up with where the only person who died that day was one of the rioters. And whom everybody who took part in that event was arrested charged and denied bail.

    Next time conservatives want to riot I should just tell them to wear BLM shirts. That way anybody on the left will just ignore them.

    Swing and a miss.

    The R's constant "law and order" theme is outed as sheer hypocrisy as they ignore the proven legal issues of their own members while whining about the possible issues of others.

    And, your Jan 6 "analysis" is ridiculous. Republicans lobbied FOR those insurrectionists who assaulted our most fundamental element of democracy and nearly succeeded. And, no. Those who took part have NOT all been charged, nor were they all imprisoned when identified.

    What do you have to say about elected Republicans who attended that insurrection?

    Useless third rate politician, this isn't a mic drop. Could they expel Santos? Sure. Should they? Sure. But the point of the governing body, is to make legislative decisions and sign legislation that affect the entirety of the nation. The country's business isn't going to stop for Santos, or Trump, or anyone else.

    The reason Washington is in this state, is that the American People continue electing these third rate politicians, and then you're shocked as to why nothing gets done.

    This issue goes FAR beyond that.

    Republicans have won primaries after being part of the Jan 6 insurrection!

    Dozens of elected state and local officials were part of the Jan 6 insurrection.
    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/57-gop-officials-at-capitol-insurrection_n_6026e5e2c5b6f88289fb90a6

    Even today, 25% of Republicans support that insurrection - the attempted overthrow of our democracy. And, federal Republican congressmen have echoed their support, too.

    This is not just about Republicans embracing Santos.

    In fact, it includes the majority of Republicans backing the criminal and serial liar Trump as PRESIDENT OF THE USA!!!

    What a brilliant argument for "show me the man and I will find the crime" theory of democrat law enforcement.
    Do you realize half the country doesn't trust DoJ, the FBI, and the intelligence agencies anymore? Great job Joe. And Biden just had a Walter Cronkite moment - he just lost CBS news. Even CBS admits he's as sentient as a log.

    There is NO possibility of blaming Biden for any lack of trust of our DoJ and our FBI.

    Trump made it a major focus to discredit those agencies throughout his presidency.

    His flat out refusal of subpoenas and his rhetoric were aimed at EVERY aspect of law and order whether from federal agencies or attempts by congress to do its job.

    Naw swing and a hit. You voted in a pedophile and are complaining about Trump. YOUR GUY is worse.

    But beyond that look around you. Is anything good right now? Socially? Economically? Is the country safer?

    Your horse is not only a pedo. He's racist. And he sucks at running the country. You've had 3 years to prove yourself being in charge of everything and we are on the cusp of WW3 not seen since the Cuban missile crisis. Half the world is dropping our currency. The southern border is a complete tire fire. Our economy has suffered from the worst inflation in what? 20-30 years? Oh and socially we are so racially divided because you all can't stop with your ****ing identity politics.

    Proof is in your resume. Your side sucks.

    How about, we don't make such serious allegations, without sufficient evidence, of our speculations?

    And that's all Joe Biden's fault! :roflol::roflol:

    Your post, actually explains the Republican antipathy to the scholastic community, & education, in general: it is easier to lead an ignorant mob, rather than people who are well informed, and generally knowledgeable.
    Our economy, BTW, is doing well, relative to the rest of the world (which is, of course, the only reasonable way to judge such a thing-- all the more, because of how interconnected the world has become, over the past decades).

    It is a blatant misrepresentation, to say that "half the world's dropping our currency." Let's have you back up that statement of purported fact, with a list of the countries who have, to this point, actually "dropp(ed) our currency." The main countries that are even thinking about it, are the BRIC countries, led by China & Russia, who have political motivation: they want a different world order than the current one-- in which the U.S. dominates, still.

    Our allies, in fact, have much more confidence in America, w/ President Biden, compared to with President Trump, who did not seem to value the ideals which have led U.S. policy for three quarters of a century, and which the Western world has adopted for its own. Instead, Trump saw nations in the way that dictators see them, as independent operators, who should not be interfered with, by the world community, in order to enforce certain principles (as, respecting the borders of other sovereign nations).


    Your "race hate crime," charge, though, at least ended your paragraph on a joke, from the Party which welcomes White Supremacists, with open arms. According to Republican Senator Tuberville, of their presence in our military, they are just ordinary "Americans."* Or in the words of another Republican leader, "fine people."

    More of that false drivel, which is the gruel that sustains the GOP base. Not "everyone who took part in that event was arrested;" about 1000 of them were, though. But your allegation that everyone who was arrested, was "denied bail," is utter bilgewater. There was no alteration of normal procedure, in the bail process, for J6 arrestees. Those who were denied bail, were all either flight risks, or posed a potential danger to the community.


    One last fact check: the Capitol Police actually treated the Trump protesters with a far greater deference, than they would have, were they a huge, largely black mob. Capitol Police have stated as much, knowing that these were the President's supporters. Also, many of the police saw these people as like themselves-- I mean, wake up to reality.






    *<Snip>
    "We are losing in the military — so fast — our readiness in terms of recruitment," said Tuberville, a member of the Armed Services Committee. "And why? I can tell you why. Because the Democrats are attacking our military, saying we need to get out the white extremists, the white nationalists, people that don’t believe in [President Joe Biden's] agenda."

    Asked whether he believed white nationalists should be allowed in the military, Tuberville said: “They call them that. I call them Americans.”

    The proper answer to that smarmy Democrat in Congress would have been something like this....

    Where is the guy in charge of the nation's nuclear waste? Oh that's right.... The deviant freak is probably sitting in jail for stealing a black woman's luggage at the airport.

    That's the sort of leadership we need in top positions from this administration.

    If you are upset that public trust has fallen slightly for the FBI and DOJ I bet you will be devastated when you find out what Republicans did to the public trust of the USSC.

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is chaired by 5 individuals and doesn’t have a single person in charge.

    I assume you are speaking of The Honorable Annie Caputo, a nuclear engineer with over two decades of service in both the armed forces as well as energy and security policy. She has been a strong advocate of improving the financial management and stewardship the resources of the NRC saying they are overfunded and underworked. Unless you missed the last 6 months and are talking about Sam Brinton, who no longer works at the agent — who was a deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy and not the individual over the program.

    Republicans didn't do that to the USSC. The USSC'S role is heavily outdated, and actually structurally flawed on several premises. (Thomas Jefferson was an opponent of the court. And it's one of his finest legacies.). First off, in a country that already has checks and balances, the USSC's 'check' on the political institutions is not only fundamentally unnecessary, but it was only inevitable that it would either A: Become a political institution itself, or B: To continue hampering the national interest of the American Government, as to create the conditions for its dissolution anyway.

    But secondly, the other problem of the Court is the ignorance of its justices. They want to believe that they are ruling according to their interpretations, and that political considerations do not come into play. But due to the unique role of the court in which we can call a supreme civil court to be more accurate to its function, its rulings can only attempt to resolve political disputes. And at that, miserably because the court does not resolve the litigation favorably to both parties of a dispute.

    Ultra conservatives don't like Obergefell? I present to you Hobby Lobby! Democrats don't like Citizens United? I present to you Heller, and the recent decisions building off of Heller as a premise.

    And given these decisions, and as I said the 'A' factor, the justices would be 'vetted' for their political stances.(See most recently, the abortion issue. In which Ruth Ginsburg herself, while a proponent of abortion, agreed with the conservative argument against Roe V Wade. Namely, as we know from the ruling, that it lacked a constitutional basis.)

    There is no solution to the USSC that has as its basis, more 'liberal' justices(or 'more conservative') ones. All that would do, is give temporary happiness to the Liberal party, as the conservative seeks to restack conservatives(or vice versa.). We the nation have outgrown the flaw in our constitution that's called a Supreme Court. Now, what constitutes as legal or not, should only be the State(Congress) to decide.

    When? In 2016?
    Jeffrey Epstein introduced me to Trump at 14, Ghislaine Maxwell accuser says
    And, what about 2024?
    Since, according to Trump...
    Well, Trump Is Now Suggesting Ron DeSantis Is a Pedophile
    That makes 2 elections in a row?
    The wrong person won in 2016.
    ___________

    Anyway, back on-topic to Rep. Crockett:
    She definItely has a point...:flagus:

    I have have both video evidence and admission from the 10 years old girl. We also have Tara Reade and about half a dozen women accusing Biden of sexual assault which includes "grabbing them em by the *****"

    So clearly sexual assault and pedophile behaviour isn't a big deal by progressives.

    The bottom line? your guy has been in charge of everything for the last 3 years and the country's been burning to the ground. As a direct result

    More liberal whining about Trump. This conservative is done with Trump. And all liberals should be done with Biden, if they want to be realists that is. If not, keep the head in the sand position.

    Hasn't been debunked. You just can't confirm or deny it was really her.

    I believe it was really her, and her admission absolutely backs up the reaction seen in the video. And you denying your own eyes because it's inconvenient for you to admit you are watching a child get inappropriately touched says more about you then anything else.

    Disgusting.

    So since pedophilia is acceptable for your horse...let's not worry about Trump, k?
