due to a typo in a resolution that passed the House on Tuesday, Republicans had accidentally shrunk the size of the House “weaponization subcommittee” to 12 members instead of expanding it to 21. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) was the one to submit the resolution.
The resolution also specifically said that “not more than 9 shall be appointed in consultation with the minority leader.” This all means that, temporarily, Democrats had nine seats on Jim Jordan’s subcommittee and Republicans had three, giving Democrats the supermajority on a panel that was created to help Fox News write its scripts for the evening broadcast.
Is Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg About to Take Down Trump?
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is presenting evidence against Donald Trump to the grand jury. Will this spell the end for the former-NYC big shot?
Lol, sorry, I was unclear. I was just commenting on what I saw in the preview! I still saw it, but thank you, my friend, for taking the effort to make sure I did see it.
Are they ‘searching’ or ‘raiding’? Per the right-wingers I see on Twitter, this is an important distinction when discussing Trump vs. Biden, so I assume that I’ll see the same here \s
Don’t Marines have a pledge “Once a Marine, always a Marine” It’s something like that. I would like to have a drill sergeant or 2 have a word with this guy.
To what country? Or perhaps that was sarcasm Procrustsus.
That video is quite funny. Had never seen it. Trump lip synched the pledge of allegiance? Melania from Slovenia, was about to nudge him to start moving his lips.
If you’re at the point where you’re actively committing sedition against the United States government, any oaths you made as a Marine are probably long out the window.
I guess this guy is no longer a Marine. So the JAG would not get involved. I suppose. Any active service members involved should be dropped off in Leavenworth.
Trump was the commander in chief at the time he directed people to overthrow the US government. He should also be held accountable by the JAG.
But, Trump was the civilian leader of the US military. So I guess the JAG can’t get involved there.
Yeah, that’s true JohnT. The only defense the GOP has is to come back with guns blazing.
We are all sort of members of the military. Well I’m exempt because I’m to old.
§246. Militia: composition and classes
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
^ That is the most poorly worded statute I seen in a while. So… female citizens in the National Guard are not in the militia? Um What? What about males in the National Guard? Isn’t the National Guard pretty much THE militia?
It means all male citizens between ages 17 and 44, inclusive, plus all females who are in the Guard. Also all males in that age range who are trying to become citizens.
