    Tlaib is in the House

    Only non-witches get due process.

        So Gaetz next?

        On what grounds, being an a-hole?

        AFAIK the ethics charges against him are questionable and there are no indictments.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_One_of_the_United_States_Constitution

        Each House [of Congress] may determine the Rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member.

        Nothing there about ethics committees, convictions, etc… Would you say Gaetz’s attacks on McConnell were disorderly? And do you think you could get enough votes?

        How about Omar? Or Tlaib in the Senate? Think you could get 17 Dems in the Senate to vote for expulsion? There are currently 9 Jewish Democrat Senators… Add in Manchin, Sinema, Lurch… I bet you could find 17 members, especially since she’s attacking the sitting President with an upcoming election…

        I realize that. IT's their house and they make the rules.

        Gaetz? Disorderly? Of course.
        Lurch hasn't been out of line that I've seen, other than his attire.
        Tlaib...yeah.

        The majority controls the committees, and I have little doubt that they will, um, suggest to their members to follow the lines that leadership should be followed.

        (too lazy to look it up)

        Have there been similar findings by the ethics committee in the past where members have not been expelled?

          It seems like Santos went above and beyond what any of these other characters did.

          I was only joking

            It doesn’t really matter. Now that the step has been taken, it will be easier the next. When have you seen our political leaders not take a new precedent and new authority and abuse it?

              I just meant that I could see Lurch voting for Tlaib to be removed, but as Jon pointed out, wrong group…

                              We were kicking him, and he moved his ass.

                              "Pelosi calls Santos a ‘coward’ for leaving chamber before expulsion vote closed" (The Hill).

                              “This is not a casual vote for us. It’s something you take very seriously and and he should have taken it seriously,” Pelosi told reporters following the vote, adding that he “should have been man about it.”

                              Be a man — I hadn't heard that in a while.

                              Was that a one-time pot shot, just for Santos? He's gay, right? On any other day, you'd be canceled for advising the gay man... or any man... to "be a man." But on very special days, there's one person who liberates everyone to say what they really think.

                                  Days after the House of Representatives voted to expel Santos, the former congressman has already taken up a side gig recording personalized videos for a fee on the Cameo website. One of his first customers, it seems, was Fetterman, who then posted the video Santos recorded on Instagram.

                                  "I thought my ethically-challenged colleague @senatormenendez could use some encouragement given his substantial legal problems," Fetterman said of the video he commissioned. "So, I approached a seasoned expert on the matter to give 'Bobby from Jersey' some advice."

                                  (From what I heard, George Santos did not know it was specifically for Sen. Menendez and did not know if was from Sen. Fetterman. Also, I heard that Mr. Santos has made a TON of money doing these Cameo videos at USD$350 per video - like $250000 in the last couple of days)

                                        I keep waiting for Derek Guy to comment.

                                        And, what's with all the lapel pins on Mr. 'Stache?

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                          And - count ‘em - 3 pens in his pocket.

                                          Only non-witches get due process.
