AOC hypes her effort to block SCOTUS security bill after Brett Kavanaugh threat
[NYPOST] Rep. Alexandria Sandy Ocasio-Cortez
Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore...
self-hyped her effort to block a Senate-approved bill that would step up security protections for Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
justices and their immediate family members Thursday — a day after an armed man was arrested for attempting to murder Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The Bronx Democrat posted a video on her Instagram feed of her running up the steps to the Capitol so she could be present on the House floor to stop a unanimous consent request by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy
...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's...
(R-Calif.) to move the measure.

In a subsequent video, the "Squad" member claimed McCarthy was trying to push the legislation through the House on a so-called "fly-out day," when members leave Washington to return to their home districts.

AOC told her followers that she would oppose the unanimous consent request until the Senate advances gun control measures after a spate of mass shootings in the US, including the May 24 Uvalde, Texas elementary school massacre.

"Oh, so we can pass protections for us and here easily, right? But we can’t pass protections for everyday people? I think not," she said. "I’m going to need a roll call vote on that."

House Democrats, who say they want to expand the bill to include enhanced security for Supreme Court clerks and other employees, rejected the unanimous consent request, sending McCarthy into a rage on the House floor.

"How many times do they have to be threatened?" he asked, referring to the justices. "How many people have to be arrested with a gun outside their home?"

The outburst took place hours after a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, man was arrested with a cache of weapons outside Kavanaugh’s Maryland home after he called 911 on himself and told an operator he was having suicidal thoughts and wanted to kill the justice, according to court documents.

"What would have happened had he not called 911?" McCarthy asked his fellow wardheelers Wednesday night. "He didn’t just have a gun. He had zip ties. But somehow you want to leave. This bill could be on the president’s desk right now."

The Senate passed the legislation by unanimous consent May 9 after a draft Supreme Court opinion leaked that indicated the justices were close to overturning Roe v. Wade, triggering nationwide protests.

On Thursday, House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
snapped at a news hound who pressed her about Supreme Court security.

"He’s protected. The justices are protected," Pelosi said of Kavanaugh, later adding: "No one is in danger over the weekend because of our not having a bill."

Same Question, Different day.
Given the clear videotaped FELONY violations of
18 U.S. Code § 115 - Influencing, impeding, or retaliating against a Federal official by threatening or injuring a family member.

Why isn't the Liberal/Socialist/Democrat Fascist controlled DOJ issuing arrest warrants.

AOC can also be charged with Oath of Office violations, Treason and more.

Morning Joe's Richard Haass: We Need To Get The Republican Party Back To Liz Cheney Republicanism
[REALCLEARPOLITICS] Richard Haass, the president of the Council on Foreign Relations, told 'Morning Joe' on Wednesday that Liz Cheney
...Faux Republican hereditary congresswoman-for-life from Wyoming. She has been described as Republican royalty. A staunch Never Trumper, Liz supported the second impeachment of Donald Trump for his role in the 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol. Publicans dumped her from her leadership position in May 2021. Refusing to admit that she had trashed her own career, Cheney has said that she intends to be the leader... in a fight to help to restore our party and that she may be interested in a future presidential run....
Republicanism is conservative: "What we see today is that Republicans have ceased to be conservatives, and modern day Republicanism has become radicalism. It's become populist. And you're putting people and policies, what have you, preferences ahead of democracy, ahead of the country, ahead of the Constitution, ahead of our institutions. That, to me, is obviously an unbelievably dangerous departure. We no longer have -- we have, if you will, a progressive liberal party. We no longer have a conservative party. We have what's become a radical movement, a radical network in and out of the official party. That's something we've really never had to deal with in our history. And the question is, can we fete through it? Can we basically get to a point where Liz Cheney Republicanism, which by the way is extremely conservative in her policies, whether we can get back to the point that regains control of the Republican party? I don't know the answer to what. Obviously, we have an enormous stake in it. It gets a little to the point of these hearings, and I might slightly disagree with John and others. I'm not so sure that what we heard is an airtight legal case. I actually have doubts about it."

#1 
Morning Joe, like many TV and Hollywood "has-been's" is seeking to grab some free attention.
I can honestly say I watch part of one show years ago and have not since.


Regarding Liz Cheney.

If it dresses like a Hillary, looks like a 1990 Hillary, talks like a Hillary, and votes like a Hillary.

It's a Hillary.

The (R) is really a (RINO)

#2  She's on track to get crushed in the primary. She has enough money to try a run as an Independent, but is much more likely to take her campaign funds as a retirement package and get a cushy billet at a left-wing think-tank. Hopefully, someone keeps track of any corporate board appointments she might get so proper boycotting / shaming practices can be applied.
Posted by: M. Murcek || 06/12/2022 8:16 Comments || Top||

#3  ..some state enacted legislation that if you run in a party primary you can not run as a 'independent' afterwards. Cuts that kind of intentional undermining of the process out. In other words, don't put your name on the primary ballot, just go directly to independent for the vote that counts, which does away with any pretense of being a real Trunk or Donk.
Posted by: Procopius2k || 06/12/2022 8:34 Comments || Top||

#4  Independent = "I can't get elected as a democrat, so I'll do this instead."
Posted by: M. Murcek || 06/12/2022 8:43 Comments || Top||

#5  The sooner she is run out of politics, the better. Her hate is overwhelming!
Posted by: 49 Pan || 06/12/2022 9:53 Comments || Top||

#6  She has a future as a paid "Conservative Republican" commentator on MSDNC and CNN
Posted by: Frank G || 06/12/2022 9:59 Comments || Top||

#7  Because if there's anyone advice we should listen to, it's ghouls from the globalist CFR.

These people hate our guts. If they say doing this is wrong, then it's right.

#8  Yeah, let's take advice from people who hate us and want us to fail. Solid plan!

#9  She's a center-left Democrat pretending to be a Republican. She only gets away with it because of mistaken loyalty to her last name.

Nancy Pelosi guest stars on drag queen TV show
[WASHINGTONTIMES] House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
announced Friday she’ll appear on an episode of a popular drag queen show.

Mrs. Pelosi, a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Democrat who represents the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
, will make "a special Pride Month appearance" on episode five of "RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 7," aides said Friday.

The show is described as "a group of talented drag queens who compete in challenges to impress host RuPaul, the world’s most famous drag queen, to win a cash prize along with a crown and the title of America’s Next Drag Superstar."

The show runs on the Paramount Plus streaming service and each episode includes a competition involving performance or fashion design.

In the all-star episodes, "only winners return to compete for the crown," according to Paramount.

#12  Pelosi a Roman Catholic and senior United States politician socializing with sexuality perverts mentality Ill, is a disgusting and pathetic way of harvesting voters. The Democratic Party is closing an eye to sexual mental illness for votes.
"Everything is backwards, everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, psychiatrists destroy minds, scientists destroy truth, major media destroys information, religions destroy spirituality and governments destroy freedom.”
America is in death spiral if the military do not intervene
At this point this problems is way bigger than the Chinese

#13  if the military do not intervene

Actually, most Americans would consider military rule here to be just one more failure.

#14  We aren’t Greece or Turkey or Pakistan or Egypt, needing the army to save us from ourselves. Rather, our military needs us to protect them from the bad government they are sworn to the Constitution to obey.

We’ll have no Praetorian guard here.

#15  tw, I swore to defend the Constitution, not the Government.

#16  My mistake, Deacon Blues.
Posted by: trailing wife || 06/12/2022 20:32 Comments || Top||

#17  The second line of the oath is even more clear,:
“… support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same. “
True faith cannot be misunderstood.
