The double edge thing comes up a lot. Executive orders get undone by executive orders. Getting rid of the filibuster now means it's gone later when fortunes change. But with the committee stripping, they're playing with a very IMMEDIAITE fire.
And even though a lot of folks have brought that up, it's Matt Margolis at PJ Media who really brings the point home on Friday by outlining SPECIFIC Democrats who should, by the standard they are trying to use, be themselves stripped of their committees.
Their action came with a warning from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who said of Democrats, "I would remind them what Leader McConnell said when Democrats voted to nuke the judicial filibuster: 'You'll regret this. And you may regret this a lot sooner than you think.'"
"If people are held to what they have said prior to even being in this House, if the majority party gets to decide who sits on what other committees, I hope you keep that standard, because we have a long list you can work with in your own," McCarthy added.
McCarthy is so right. And Margolis shows HOW right.
Take Democrat Rep. Adam Smith (#9) out of Washington, who repeatedly told the "Russian bounties" lie.
Or Rep. Carolyn Maloney (#8), Democrat from New York, who promoted the blatantly false USPS conspiracy theories, to include fake photos and the whole thing.
Or how about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (#6), also of New York? There are so many things she's said that we don't even have time to list them, including her fantasy tale of MAGA terrorists cornering her in a bathroom and shouting death threats to her as a bomb ticked down to zero nearby and only she could save America by getting in touch with Jack Bauer … or whatever it was she lied.
The whole list is not just a perfect point about the double edge, but a great reminder of the FULL ON LOONS who sit in the House and Senate as Democrats. #2 and #1 are my favorite entries.
They, of course, get away with having crazies. Look at who runs the news in this country. People like Fake Tapper and the Fat Dumb and Bald Guy and Nicolle "Kill 'em All" Wallace. Are they going to call out lunatic Dems?
Not a chance.
