Because sportage’s hair is on fucking fire! His brain is fried…why would you grant pardons to people that have committed absolutely zero crimes?

Thats what the hostage takers seem to think they are getting in regards to the debt ceiling. Now they are often full of shit so we shall see what proffered for the rules. I think the rules is going to be more difficult than the 15 rounds of speaker votes.Wow, if your description of the concessions is accurate (I'm not criticizing, I just don't know) and if cuts to Medicare and SS are going to be a necessary part of even getting the debt ceiling increase to a vote, that's a horrendous leap back. Sounds like the upcoming rules vote is going to be extremely critical.
Although the Supreme Court's opinion stated that a pardon carries "an imputation of guilt and acceptance of a confession of it," this was part of the Court's dictum for the case. Whether the acceptance of a pardon constitutes an admission of guilt by the recipient is disputed.By accepting a pardon, you admit your guilt. While you mean well with this, this is almost as stupid as any MTG idea. And once pardon is granted, one MUST testify in front congress. And you cant plead the 5th

so no other committees can do work be done till the House Rules are passed by the Rules committee?Thats what the hostage takers seem to think they are getting in regards to the debt ceiling. Now they are often full of shit so we shall see what proffered for the rules.

Better question....
WHY would house republicans go after people that have committed absolutely zero crimes???
The pardons are to protect the innocent like Dr Fauci from the republican BULLSHIT.
so no other committees can do work be done till the House Rules are passed by the Rules committee?
edit: Rules committee
13 seats but 9 are Repub and 4 are Dem?!
( instead of 7 and 6 since Repubs are only +9)
I guess that's one way of neutralizing the 2 MAGA on this committee that was rumored as the cost of McCarthy's speakership.
But McCarthy has to stick the 2 extra Dems on another committee?
even more interesting:edit: Rules committee

This is Salon's take on what happened. Seems Boebert didn't get her vote right per her agreement with Gaetz. She was supposed to vote for Gaetz and he was going to vote present.Mike Rogers lost his shit and wanted the hide of Gaetz because they were going to give that dirtbag a gavel on an Armed Services subcommittee.
Gaetz isn’t fit to chair a dog catcher committee
The brain trust fucked up? I'm shocked! Shocked!This is Salon's take on what happened. Seems Boebert didn't get her vote right per her agreement with Gaetz. She was supposed to vote for Gaetz and he was going to vote present.
“Everybody panicked and flipped out”: Lauren Boebert’s “confusion” prompted angry GOP confrontation | Salon.com
"One thing that was interesting to me is that what we were told was Lauren Boebert was sitting next to Gaetz, and we were told on that vote, on the 14th vote, she was actually going to vote for Gaetz, which would have allowed Gaetz to vote present, which McCarthy would have won on the 14th vote," he continued. "Voted for Gaetz, then Gaetz can vote present. What happened is she voted present, and Gaetz voted present, and he didn't get it. He got on the number but he didn't get there. There was some confusion about what was happening, and that's when everybody panicked and flipped out."

Pardon Fauci for what?I'm all for pardoning Fauci. Governments shouldn't go after scientists for mistakes that are a part of science, as Italy tried with some geologists.
Joe Biden shouldn't pardon Hunter. And I don't think he would. Joe would stand by his son, help him find the best lawyers, maybe even drive the Secret Service crazy by visiting Hunter in prison regularly. But he wouldn't pardon Hunter for anything Hunter actually did, and probably not for anything he was convicted of.

Holy. Fucking. Clowns. They just keep one-upping themselves with stupidity, and they brought in professionals with MTG and Boebert (among others.)This is Salon's take on what happened.

No need to pardon Fauci. Our legal system isn't as fucked up as Italy's.I'm all for pardoning Fauci. Governments shouldn't go after scientists for mistakes that are a part of science, as Italy tried with some geologists.

Clusterfuck is clusterfuck.Didn't they have the right to change their vote at any time before the vote by gaveled by the clerk? That happened on the motion to adjourn after the 14th vote. Time expired with the motion to adjourn winning and then all of sudden McCarthy and others changed their vote and ultimately the motion to adjourn died.
that's Mitch?!
Not sure what's being said obv, but that also looks like McCain in front of him, possibly telling the guy at the table on the right edge to stfu? idkthat's Mitch?!

ahh.. not voting to overturn ObamacareNot sure what's being said obv, but that also looks like McCain in front of him, possibly telling the guy at the table on the right edge to stfu? idk
