Other than as a form of punishment, is any congress member not on a committee? I thought that was part of the job?

You know what, you're right. I just looked and there are currently 133 rough ridin' house committees. Also the committee in question from the tweet, Armed Services Committee, Gaetz apparently didn't get it, Mike Rogers, the guy who tried to fight Gaetz, is listed as the chair. If the chart on Wikipedia is to be believed, there are 12 of the 133 committees that have not had a R appointed to chair them to this point. Andy Biggs appears to be the only one of the 20 holdouts who has been appointed a gavel and he's charing the Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security committee.

i don't think committee chairs have been determined yet. they haven't even voted on rules yet. rogers was the pub' ranking member last session, so it's natural that he'd be chair, but i don't think it's official yet.

also, i think the chatter was that gaetz might be getting a subcommittee chair for his vote, not the committee chair.

The actual consequences of legislation are of no importance. Owning the wokeleft and doing stunts to earn time on Tucker's show are the only goals. When things go wrong, just blame lamesteam media bias.

After a week of serious negotiations, we are ready to get down to serious governing:

We want to see her birth certificate, MCAT scores and medical license, dammit. The American people deserve to know.

Time to open investigations into the wokeleft's War On The American Cowboy.

We told the mamas to not let their babies grow up to be cowboys all those years ago, and this is what you get. Genocide, basically.

Adam "I have definitive proof Trump colluded with Russia" Schiff and Eric "the spy who banged me" Swalwell are likely to be removed from committees . . . and Swalwell should be removed from Congress.

Just hate to see it . . .

And I'm glad you think that being an alleged sex trafficker is worse than an Anti-Semitic using campaign funds illegally is worse. Well no crap. Neither of them has been charged so that point is moot. They're both pieces of crap.

anti-Semitic too??? Jeez

She's 100% full of crap when she says "I wasn't aware of the fact that there are tropes about Jews and money. That has been very enlightening part of this journey," there's no way that's true.

That being said there's definitely a nuanced conversation to be had about her two comments about Israel in that article, but y'all don't want to have it.

There's a lot less nuanced conversation with regard to the sheer hypocrisy of the republicans removing her from committees because of antisemitism, knowing full well they have avowed antisemities within their ranks.

Why would I even care to have a conversation about her other comments if she is lying about being full of crap about Jews/money?

If you want to have a conversation about the hypocrisy of some pubs removing her when they are antisemitic, I'm all for it.

Oh, it’s nuanced so we wouldn’t understand.

We can't have a no nuanced conversation about a topic she spoke about because she lied about something? If we're using that standard doesn't that mean we wouldn't have a nuanced conversation about anything ever?

I didn't say a damn thing about anyone not understanding the topic at hand. You know exactly why Omar is being accused of antisemitism wherever she criticizes Israel.
