Adam Schiff should respond that he welcomes their hatred, heartily. I heard that he's serving Criadillas ala Durham in the House cafeteria today.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Boebert a ‘Little Bitch’ on the House Floor

And in the background, a cat fight ensues between MTG and BoBo. They both want to impeach Biden and now its a race between them. Round 1 goes to BoBo, but advantage MTG because she has Kevin's ears and more.

Quote:
The messy feud between two of MAGA world’s biggest stars burst into public view on Wednesday, when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) a “little bitch” to her face on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.

The angry exchange came as the two lawmakers have been swiping at each other over their competing resolutions to impeach President Joe Biden. But tensions came to a head on Wednesday after Boebert leveraged a procedural tool to force a vote on her own impeachment resolution within days—undercutting Greene, who had offered her own resolution, but not with the procedural advantages of forcing a vote.

Greene apparently cursed out Boebert while the House was voting Wednesday afternoon, as the two spoke in a center aisle of the House floor; part of their interaction was captured on C-SPAN’s cameras.

They of course should work together and get a friend to do a resolution too. That way Biden can be impeached three times, a new record. Except they may not want Trump to lose the #1 spot in impeachments.....

ALASKA (The Borowitz Report)—The billionaire Paul Singer set a sport-fishing record by catching a Supreme Court Justice who weighed in at approximately two hundred pounds.

The Justice, who was estimated to measure over sixty inches, became Singer’s catch during a luxury fishing trip to Alaska in 2008.

Singer, who said that he kept his record catch a secret because he does not “like to brag,” revealed that the jurist was “much easier to catch” than he had anticipated.

“He required practically no bait whatsoever,” he said. “I’ve never caught something that seemed so happy to be flopping around on my boat.”

No chumming required. Just flop the lure of a seat on a private jet in front of Alito and he inhales it, sinker and all.

Soon to be US Senator from California Adam Schiff responds to the censure in the LA Times.

“Roosevelt said you can judge a person by the enemies they make,” Schiff said in an interview with The Times on Wednesday before the vote. “By that standard, I’m doing pretty damn well.”

Time to pry open my wallet and send some moolah his way, even though we live in Katie Porter's district (her turn will come).

Here is a reason for McCarthy putting a road block on BoBo's attempt at getting the House to vote on her Biden Impeachment resolution. This indeed was an Oops moment and no wonder they came down fast and hard on the Grandma BoBo of the GED fame.

Quote:
McCarthy wanted to protect the 18 House Republicans who represent districts Joe Biden carried in 2020 from having to vote on impeaching him for, well, nothing really.
Here is some interesting political climate that the GOP is facing.

Quote:
An Economist/YouGov Poll released this month showed why.

The survey found that by a healthy 59 percent to 41 percent margin, Americans preferred a member of Congress who “compromises to get things done” rather than one who “sticks to their principles, no matter what.” But whereas 81 percent of Democrats said they preferred compromisers, 58 percent of Republicans were in the “no matter what” crowd. If you are looking for the core driver of gridlock, this is it.
Makes one wonder why McCarthy even wanted the Speaker's gavel after the way the Republicans sabotaged Jim Boehner and Paul Ryan's terms in the House.
