Falsehoods Unchallenged Only Fester and Grow

They already made it okay in offices. One of the very few offices in the US where one can smoke.
You beat me to it. It’s a personal decision, and why would anyone think it’s okay to pick on someone who’s going through the hell all of us hope we can avoid? How is that a good look?sugar magnolia wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 4:47 pm They do NOT want to piss off the cancer survivors. Loss of hair during chemo is an incredibly emotional thing for most people, male and female, and a lot of time and money and thought go into the decision of whether to wear a wig, a hat or "go naked" and just live with the bald. It is an extremely personal decision and chemo patients are fiercely protective of each other about things like hair loss, breast reconstruction, colostomys and scar surgery. We've already traveled the road to hell. Stepping on a bunch of congress people would be a brisk walk in the park for us. Cancer survivors are not the group to pick a fight with.
I chose to go naked and also to forego breast reconstruction. My hair has grown back (curly as a poodle's ass) but the boobs won't.
(original: The Hill)Republican House Oversight Committee disbands Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties

The Republican-controlled House Oversight and Accountability Committee has disbanded the Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, which focused on issues including voting rights, freedom of assembly and criminal justice reform policies.
In a committee meeting on Tuesday, Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said this doesn’t mean topics related to these issues can’t be brought before the committee.
“Let me be very clear: any topic that’s not mentioned in the subcommittee jurisdiction is reserved for the full committee,” Comer said. “We can have a committee hearing in this committee on basically anything we want.”
A spokesperson for the panel told The Hill that “Oversight Republicans are realigning subcommittees to ensure the efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability of the federal government and all its agencies. Going forward, subcommittees will now be better equipped to meet our mission, identify problems, and propose meaningful legislative reforms for the American people.”
But Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) is urging the committee to reinstate the subcommittee, saying that the loss of it sends an “unmistakable message to the American people that their civil rights and civil liberties are no longer a priority to the 118th Congress.”

And Dan Goldman too.UPDATE: This has been resolved. And Dems have named their 9 members, including VI delegate PLASKETT as the ranking member. She’s a former prosecutor who was a standout impeachment manager during Jan. 6 Trump impeachment.
A few more details at the link.Republicans & Democratic members of the House Judiciary got into a lengthy/ heated debate during their first biz meeting this morning over a proposed amendment from Matt Gaetz to recite the pledge of allegiance at the start of each committee meeting.
Rep Goldman strong out of the gate. Letter here:

DOJ IG is limited in their ability to look at DOJ attorneys. A bill to fix that (IG Access Act of 2021) died last month. Yet DOJ IG is involved in (criminal) cases of Jeff Clark and others, so who knows.
I recited it daily without a clue as to what it meant. Even as a teen, I didn’t think about it. At some point I quit because it was rote and no one noticed or cared whether you said it.raison de arizona wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 3:27 pm How many times a day should they have to pledge allegiance? Even as a school kid I only had to do it once a day.

I still don't understand why the opposition party gets to air a prime-time rebuttal to the SOTU. The Constitution requires the President to advise congress "from time to time" on the state of the union. It does not require a response.
The opposition party is going to give the speech no matter what and the television networks know it will receive views, so that's what happens. Basic free enterprise.noblepa wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 12:46 pm

Nowhere else on TV is the equal-time doctrine still in effect. Why should it be here?
Don't forget that this immediate rebuttal is what launched Obama onto his Presidential arc.

I say this as a liberal democrat and I don't think that the dems should be afforded the priviledge of an immediate reply to a republican president's SOTU, either.
