    Its a standing committee, so that's how it works procedurally. The other two they retaliated against were easier to remove since those committees are controlled by the leader.

    They also drafted up and voted on a resolution condemning the horrors of socialism. Not sure if there's going to be one for fascism. Seems like time well spent.

    The political theater is the only show in town in DC. Both sides refuse to see the fallacy.

    Tack one on that says the press is the enemy of the people. The maga/qanon caucus would get behind that.

    Lets not forget Paul Gosar and other known terrorist sympathizers and anti-Semites from the GOP.

    If not for political theater, we'd have no politics at all.

    Lord knows, none of them do anythíng else.

    The most dangerous place in DC is in between Chuck Schumer and a camera.

    Bob Dole

    Though it was/is true of many others
