William Barr poses the greatest threat to the Democrats Socialist takeover of our Constitutional Republic.

You're absolutely right. The "good ol' days" of discrimination and slavery are gone. Those concepts were overcome long ago. There is no system that rewards Racism in America today. 'Systemic Racism' is a false narrative which only promotes division and hatred. Pelosi is just perpetuating that narrative for political gain.

Did they edit out the Biden response? I haven't heard him form a sentence in ages.

@gc3117 Maybe, maybe not, Where is the man in the decision to abort? My wife never had a father and I'm glad she was born.

Wasn't this a tactic used by ISIS and the Taliban... I believe it was coupled with Censorship and Revisionism.

Hear, Hear, Rand Paul!

LOL.

I don't think you can put it any more clearly. Indictment of Biden will have to come from the ballot box. I understand that Ukraine wants to pursue charges against him, but there's no chance that he'll ever respond.

@ABCDE710 Yes... and he deregulated government agencies and stayed out of my business.

This speech started out really good, but then he got into the weeds with opinionated character assassination. Of course the problem with government is that it's not big enough. We need more people in charge of us.

They were duely elected House Speakers... just like Nancy Pelosi.

@thetraveler264 Forty years ago, in my teens, I met a girl in a bar and took her home for the night. Two days later she came to my house saying she was hungry and wanted a sandwich. I made up some excuse and shunned her. I have often thought about that moment with shame, but I can't deny that my guilt helped shape me into a better person. As a nation we can't deny our past, but more than that, we should honor it as the growth experience it was. Those men held an honorable position in government, and they didn't consider themselves traitors. Neither did the nation that elected them. We are a different country today Because of the experiences of our past. We should honor that.

@thetraveler264 I'm sorry you don't see the connection between 'human growth and development', and 'National Evolution'. Nevertheless... I too am a veteran, SFC U.S. Army ret, born and reared in Georgia. Some of my best Brothers in Arms are Black Men. I make that point to emphasize that race is not an issue. I saw quotes from the WHO and the Health Secretary of California that stated, if 'contact tracers' determined a citizen's home to be inadequate for proper quarantine, Covid19 patients should be taken to a state facility. If government representatives were to come to my house expecting to take a family member away, I would take up arms against them... and I am not a traitor. My point is, taking up arms against the government is not necessarily treasonous. Secession was only determined to be illegal after the fact by the victors. In 1860, Civil War was not an act of treason. It was considered a sovereign right under the 10th Amendment.

@thetraveler264 I agree totally with your argument, but I believe it supports my conclusion that labeling four previous House Speakers as traitors is revisionism. Again, in 1860 neither slavery or secession was illegal. You can't declare law-abiding citizens to be criminals by changing the law after the fact (as Justice Roberts recently decided in his DACA ruling). Also, one of President Lincoln's first actions after the war was to declare amnesty for all combatants. By every moral standard these House Speakers were wrong, but they were not traitors in 1860 and they should not be declared so today.

@thetraveler264 👍 I agree that a 'celebration' for these men is going too far, but that's sort-of what Pelosi is doing. She's celebrating their removal from the Congressional Hall of Fame. If Nancy Pelosi wants to remodel the Capitol Building, that certainly is her privilege as Speaker Of The House, but this action is nothing but Pandering to an unruly mob, and the effect is to perpetuate division for political gain. She is disgusting! We don't need to celebrate the political accomplishments of these past Speakers, but we DO need to recognize their historical contributions toward what we have become. (however unintended)

@thetraveler264 It shouldn't have been done at all. An 'on the record' address before Congress would have been much more respected. Ty Cobb was a despicable human being, but I wouldn't want him removed from the Baseball Hall of Fame.

@thetraveler264 Or better yet... a posthumous censure vote by the Whole House, and get every member on record.

...But killing a baby is not. If medical science can save the life of an aborted child, the doctor should be obligated to do so.

@elaineburnett5230 No doubt, but I'm glad her mother didn't abort.
1
Unfortunately we can't force a woman to be a good mother, but there's no reason to kill a baby. If medical science can save the life of an aborted child, then doctors should be obligated to do so.

I don't understand. What schools are Ms. Clark targeting for exclusion. What does she consider discriminatory?

That wasn't a threat of Legislative Oversight, it was an Incite to Violence. btw: Schumer also is a 'Professional Wordsmith'. He knew exactly what he was doing... rabble-rousing his base and calling for action against two specific Justices.
1
@hermeticmoth I'm all for freedom of speech in the context of political discourse, but that's not what Schumer did. His actions were tantamount to yelling 'Fire' in a theater. He was rousing an already excited crowd into violent action against two specific Justices, and as a professional speaker he knew exactly what he was doing. That was not acceptable political discourse. It was a criminal act. Just like a human stampede from a crowded theater, I hate to think what the consequences of his act might be.
