Omar never threatened to assassinate Kevin McCarthy. Big difference. |
I know. My point was that the Republicans already tried that with Omar. |
Oh no Omar’s was beyond the pale when compared to Greene.

| Conservatives: you know you can just cut your losses and elect a representative who just as conservative and who is not crazy, right? Or do you just like the crazy? |
They can never admit they were wrong. It would break their psyche. |
And Greene never apologized. |
hahahahahahahahahaha! |
| GQP will never win the game of whatabouts and othersideisms. Never. What they’ve done will always be infinitely worse and nothing compares. |

That's the thing. The GOP is trying to make an issue of Biden going to Wilmington this weekend, or of wearing a Rolex watch.
Sorry folks, the bar has been lowered so much that you really don't get to complain about a damned thing. |
But that doesn't happen...because of the GOP. Democrats make mistakes, they apologize or they suffer consequences (see Al Franken). GOP doubles down and gives them seats on a committee. |

McKinney was not wearing her pin and thought the Capitol Police should have recognized her. |
+1 they always have to double down, this is all it is and nothing more. Pure, spiteful stubborness. |
| I'm listening to cnn online and heard Anderson Cooper talking about her with a clip of her talking about taking down this evil global "cable" (canal). I know I'm not supposed to sneer at people who only know a word from reading it, but I'm sneering in this case. |

Did she say she was taken hostage? I understood her to say that her school was on "lockdown." I paid fairly close attention to that as my high school was also on lockdown (over 50 years ago) when a student threatened to kill a teacher with a gun (I think it was a pistol.)
Kind of different from today. This was in the '60s. Nothing in the news about it. I cannot remember how long it lasted--but it wasn't hours for us and no one was hurt. I'm thinking it was about an hour that we were on lockdown. All I remember is the first name of the student (who was a year ahead of me) and the name of the teacher and that he taught biology. Incident did not make the news. On a reunion page recently, someone mentioned that we never heard what happened to the kid who threatened the teacher. He just never came back and the incident was not discussed. Hard to imagine in today's internet world. Makes me wonder now how many times something like this has happened. Probably, more often than we know. |
