Pelosi blocks names of 13 service members murdered in Afghanistan from being read

| September 1, 2021

Well here’s a new low from the allegedly “Honorable” Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). From Washington Examiner;

A symbolic attempt by House Republicans to bring forward a bill to demand answers of President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan was blocked in the House on Tuesday.

Rep. Mike Gallagher, a Wisconsin Republican and Marine veteran who served in Iraq, attempted to bring the bill for consideration during a pro forma session of the House.

The bill includes a request for a plan from the administration on how they will bring the remaining estimated more than 100 Americans in Afghanistan home, an accounting of all the equipment left behind, and transparency on any deals or agreements made by the Biden administration with the Taliban. It also states that it is the sense of Congress that the Taliban should not be recognized as the government of Afghanistan and would place a prohibition on any support or assistance to the Taliban.

The House is not scheduled to return to floor activity until Sept. 20. During congressional recesses, pro forma sessions consist of gaveling in and out within minutes or seconds in order to fulfill technical requirements and aims.

More than 30 House Republicans gathered on the House Floor on Tuesday. After a moment of silence for the 13 service members who lost their lives in an ISIS-K bombing last week, they attempted recognition by the chairman, who gaveled out without acknowledging them.

“How can you not read the names?” one member yelled. Another exclaimed: “Turn your back on our country.”

Thanks to Poetrooper for bringing the story to our attention. I think this is a great time for some words of wisdom from the up and coming Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO).

Every veteran in the House of Representatives needs to march up in front of the speaker’s podium, recite the names of the fallen, salute, and get to work. Nancy can go ahead and have the sergeant at arms try to stop them. I’m calling you out, representatives. Show me some courage and do the right thing.

Give it a few weeks, when everyone is there.
Sure to happen, to great GOP reception…

So, they can technically fulfill the requirements to be in session while not having to actually be there. How convenient. For them.

Really stupid. But it explains a few things. Like how leaving Americans stranded can be construed as offering them rescue without actually doing so.

Curious to see how these horrible optics can be twisted into something which makes anyone look good.

AT2E

The media will handle the optics and make the current regime look good. Those that know the truth, but don’t have the bandwidth of the media, can only watch in shame. F@CK!

We haven’t had a real fight in either the House or the Senate since 1858.

Really, it’s about time we had a knock-down, drag-out hair-pulling, pinching, and eyepoking match going on the floor of the House of Reps and another one in the Senate.

These people are far too placid for my taste. They are far less interesting than stale bread.

We haven’t a hanging in a long time either.

Tough thing to get passed but why not at least try.
Show them the option is there “hanging” right in front of them.

Don’t tempt me. 🙁

Hanging would be too good for them.

An insult to stale bread.
Stale bread can be used for bread pudding (if not too stale), or, at minimum, to feed the fowl.

Feed the fowl……which “ties” in nicely with 26L’s idea.

Well, they ARE turkeys so couldn’t we use the stale bread to stuff them???

I hope we can make it. November 2022 is still a long way out.

And this bombshell just dropped today:

“Afghan President Warned of Taliban ‘Invasion’ but Joe Biden Focused on ‘Perception’”

These guys aren’t just incompetent, they are actively pushing for failure at every level.

Oooh, “perception”– like that stops the Taliban or other jihadis from doing anything.

Only if the perception is at the other end of a nice high powered rifle…..and scope.

True dat. Conflict resolution means being able to hit yer target there.

USMCMSgt (Ret)

Yep.

And they tried to impeach Trump over a phone call. This phone call should be grounds for impeachment as well.

Biden asking the Afghan President to help create a narrative (whether true or not) suggests he was looking for help to lie to the American public, and create a scapegoat at the same time.

…and were just a little over 7 months into this administration – and look how much damage has already been done.

They should have just told her it was for gun control. She would have been all over it like Hunter on a rock pipe.

I used to joke about Bill Clinton/Obama etc and then other Demoncraps…

“(S)He could murder a baby on live TV in the Rose Garden and then roast it on a gas (not charcoal) grill and start eating it in front of God and the entire world and nothing would happen.”

That used to be a joke, a completely over-the-top exaggeration, but, alas, I’m starting to think it’s closer to reality than just a ridiculous offhanded comment that I threw around in the past. 😲😔😭🤬

The demoRats arn’t concerned because everything is President Trumps fault which is fed into npr to cnn and all the low information A-Hole liberals watching cnn believe the Joeseph Goebbels type speaches and cannot process the info.

I’ll speak the obvious here. And I’m a Republican.

Many know that the moment a notorious Congressional Democrat
opens their mouth, or presents a bill or motion of anything,
universal rejection by Republicans (in Congress and among the citizenry)
is not only expected, but assumed.

How many (Republicans) here want to see or hear anything coming from
Schiff, Nadler, or even Pelosi??

Well, the same applies to a small number of Republicans in Congress, too.
Put their name on anything,
and universal rejection by Democrats is expected, and assumed.

And now in 2021,
Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert
are added to that list, among a small number of others.

You (rightwing and rightwingnut Republicans)
can’t call out Schiff or Nadler as evil,
and then pump fists and bandwagon around the likes of MT Greene.

The worst thing I see in 2021,
is select Republicans behaving like sore losers,
almost as bad as sore loser Democrats
(who now wag their swag).

Take the high road.
Or not. Your choice.
So, deal with it.

MarineDad61

Why today? From me?
This is why.
Even with all the video, the audio, the photos, the statements,
there are still some (Republicans)
who want to believe and behave as if this
(local) January 6 cop macer knucklehead did nothing wrong,
and should be out of jail,
or not even charged (with felonies).

Well, no.
He can sit his wacky ass in jail until trial,
which will now be months more.
Self inflicted.
More, his family, friends, and even a PA State Senator
watched him to go DC with body armor, mace, bullhorn, and facepaint
(hence his internet nickname #FacePaintBlowhard)
and said nothing,
not the day before, and not even for months afterwards.

Poe you may want to rethink that and get a dog.

I suspect dropping trou and pinching a loaf in public is as a minimum a misdemeanor. The nature of this might be considered a hate crime and thus a felony. A felony conviction would provide grounds to abrogate your ownership of firearms. She isn’t worth that.

My approach worst case is it might be a misdemeanor to bring my dog into the cemetery. In that case as a responsible citizen who picks up after my dog I could just deposit his monument left outside the cemetery on her gravesite. Think of it as organic fertilizer.

Pelosi has NEVER sacrificed anything in her entire miserable life. All she has done is scam the American people. There is a special place in hell for her and the entire domestic terrorist party (democrat).

Not seeing a better place to drop this thought, I will use this post on this skank to leave it:
VJ Day September 2, 2021
76 years ago today was the end of the last war that US politicians truly “fought to win”. Japan’s surrender came only after strong leadership told the military to “do whatever must be done” and end this. Since then we have lacked the government leadership that thinks more of National Safety and Security than they do of their damned careers. Our military wins every engagement they take on, but the politicians toss the win to the enemy.
