Rep Lauren Boebert (R-CO) just walked out of Speaker McCarthy’s office. Refused to answer any questions about her scuttled attempt to force vote on impeachment of Pres Biden. She speeds away.
@MacFarlaneNews
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy just told us he supports moving forward two Trump Impeachment expungement resolutions. Including for Jan 6

This has been simmering for a while. I thought it was Stefanik’s territory, so I wonder how she feels about sharing the limelight w her chief rival.

I read something, probably on twitter, that implied Marjo is using dear Elise to push this forward as she doesn’t want her name as sponsor. I think she sees writing on that wall.

Elise is pushing the expungement of ‘Jan. 6’ and mtg is sponsoring the expungement of 2019 impeachment surrounding ‘the perfect call’. Mtg posts often on her Facebook account. Breitbart, and Washington Times both have articles out which are posted on mtg’s fb page.

I'm positive that I read somewhere that exactly that is a sure sign of an autocratic regime.

Hitler, Stalin, Mao....people like that try to re-write history. What are they going to do next, photoshop out all the pictures of Trump with the few hundred "All the best People" who turned out to be just the guys who got coffee or the worst people ever?

My idea would be to introduce a Motion to Vacate every morning with my bacon and eggs, and twice on Sunday. Let the phucker run for Speaker every day of his life. If nothing else it keeps them all tied up too much to do any damage otherwise.

Rep. Troy Nehls says he believes Biden knew the Titan sub imploded days before but withheld it from the public to divert attention away from Hunter’s situation, and that Congress should launch an investigation.

Jim Jordan spearheads 'cynical' and 'wildly partisan' GOP effort to chill anti-disinformation research

Alex Henderson
June 19, 2023

A combination of universities and think tanks have been sounding the alarm about disinformation, warning that outright lies could influence the outcome of elections in the United States. But some Republicans, according to the New York Times, are not happy about their work — including House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (D-Ohio) and former Donald Trump aide Stephen Miller.

In an article published by the New York Times on June 19, journalists Steven Lee Myers and Sheera Frenkel report that Jordan and others GOP lawmakers are claiming that the anti-disinformation efforts are designed to suppress conservative speech online.

"The House Judiciary Committee, which in January came under Republican majority control, has sent scores of letters and subpoenas to the researchers — only some of which have been made public," Myers and Frenkel explain. "It has threatened legal action against those who have not responded quickly or fully enough…. Targets include Stanford, Clemson and New York Universities and the University of Washington; the Atlantic Council, the German Marshall Fund and the National Conference on Citizenship, all nonpartisan, nongovernmental organizations in Washington; the Wikimedia Foundation in San Francisco; and Graphika, a company that researches disinformation online."

In Louisiana, Miller, who heads the MAGA group America First Legal, has filed a class-action lawsuit against anti-disinformation researchers — making, Myers and Frenkel report, similar claims to Jordan on the House Intelligence Committee. The Trump ally has described his lawsuit as "striking at the heart of the censorship-industrial complex," but Miller's critics believe he is the one trying to silence those he disagrees with.

That’s chilling RTH. And of course Stephen Miller is in the middle of it.

Here is a gift link to the note in depth NYT article it is based on:

🚨SUBPOENA ALERT🚨

@COVIDSelect

I'm confused as to what was covered up? That people died? That more people actually died than reported? That Fauci sounded the alarm on a pandemic? As much as those idiots want to pretend Fauci is some evil genius trying to do....hellifIknow, do they think they'll convince normal people who got sick, knew people who got sick or died, people who are still suffering with long-term effects, that it ain't no thang? I bet everyone here knows at least one person who died. My son's cousin's husband was a strapping, healthy 40 yo and he was gone in no time. I have lots of friends suffering with long covid. This just boggles my mind.

(Also too, I remember sitting in a doctor's waiting room, masked, and two women were talking about this horrible gestapo mask requirement and, in the course of their convo, one of them admitted her husband died of it.

You just can't reason with the unreasonable. )

They whine about immigration but as a Republican Congress actually ever past any meaningful changes to immigration or increased funding for border enforcement? They didn't even pass finding for Trump's wall.

I don't recall the MAGA wing introducing bills to make harsher immigration laws, even for show. Instead, they want to impeach Biden for it but do nothing themselves.

"Drove them stark raving mad"?

The lunatics in the House know everything they would want is DOA in the Senate and the White House. So their best case scenario is to pass something Manchin and Sinema would approve, and dare Dark Brandon to veto it.

But the Freedumb Caucus has no incentive for meaningful bipartisan legislation. And neither does McCarthy, if he wants to keep his station.
