China Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 The House rules chairman blocked Lauren Boebert's measure under a 'new rule' against 'lunatics' House Rules Committee Chairman Jim McGovern created a "new rule" on his committee for people like Rep. Lauren Boebert, the gun-toting far-right firebrand from Colorado. When one of her "flurry of nonsensical amendments turned out to be reasonable," McGovern, a Massachusetts Democrat, blocked it from going to the House floor and a Republican committee member wanted to know why, according to journalist Robert Draper's new book, "Weapons of Mass Delusion: When the Republican Party Lost Its Mind." "As McGovern would recall it, his response was, 'We have a new rule in the Rules Committee. If you're bat**** crazy, you're not getting an amendment,'" Draper wrote. "'I'm sorry. We're not doing this. We're not doing this. I'm not going down that road. I'm not going to be part of any effort to legitimize people who are ****ing lunatics.'" The book does not describe the amendment. McGovern and Boebert's offices didn't immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment. Boebert was among the 147 Republicans who voted to overturn the 2020 presidential election results after a pro-Trump mob stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. In the aftermath, Draper describes how some Democrats, including McGovern, weren't inclined to work with election-denying Republicans.

88Comrade2000 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Well, Lauren can get all the bills she wants next year; if she wins re-election. Of course, none will become law. It won’t make it thru senate if still in Dems hands and if gop controls senate; Biden would veto it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is a far cry from "safe to say". I assumed there would at least be a Trump sticker or something.

You are right, that is unfair (and just 1 tbf). That said, I cannot imagine anyone flying the Russian flag and voting Democrat (since they have been pro Ukraine and the GOP has not). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've all been conservatives. Russia is conservative. While I'm making an assumption, I do think it's one that is easy to come to in our country today. Of course, I've never met this person, maybe he's not republican, He could just be showing his love of taking over other countries. Edit: Also, I'm not closed minded. I used to be.

If I'd have recognized the Russian flag on that truck rolling down the road, I would certainly wonder why. But he's missing so many of the other magat/hardcore rightie telltale signs that I might not have lept to the same conclusion. Could be Russian american and stupidly faithful to the old country like many are. I just got back from elk camp in the remote mountains of NM and one camp we passed had the **** Biden flag and a no neck having old boy rolled into our camp on his side by side wearing that hat I mentioned above (**** joe and the hoe). Such a soft spoken friendly ol douchebag too. It's crazy all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
