Sure. Ideally he'd also be stripped of committee memberships, but McCarthy is a feckless loser so that isn't going to happen. He's too busy figuring out how to get the 13 who voted for infrastructure pulled from their committee assignments, because obviously that is a much bigger deal than Gosar being exactly the type of emotion-driven d-bag that @ToastJenkins is arguing we should cut out of our lives and bury.

Gosar Digital Director Jessica Lycos told the Washington Post last week that Democrats don’t understand meme culture.

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) departs after a meeting between U.S. President Joe Biden and Democratic lawmakers at the U.S. Capitol that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi hosted to promote Biden's bipartisan infrastructure bill on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., October 1, 2021.

"The left doesn’t get meme culture," Lycos said. "They have no joy. They are not the future. It’s a cartoon. Gosar can’t fly and he does not own any light sabers. Nor was violence glorified. This is about fighting for truth."

Following reports that Biden will celebrate the holiday with family on the Massachusetts island Nantucket, Cruz tweeted this reference to the "there once was a man from Nantucket” limerick that in some versions is a bit, er, crude:

We speak with Jennifer Gosar, the youngest sister of far-right Arizona Congressmember Paul Gosar, who faces censure in a House vote today for posting an animated video on social media that features him murdering Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and attacking President Biden with swords. Gosar will be required to stand in the well of the House while the resolution is read. His colleagues will also vote to strip him of his assignments on the Committee on Oversight and Reform, alongside Ocasio-Cortez, and the Committee on Natural Resources. "He’s continuing to sing to that white supremacist base that he fundraises from,” says Jennifer Gosar, who has previously described him as a "sociopath.”

at least gosar's sister has his back.

Anybody with emotions, any emotions, is an emotional snow flake to you.

 

There is something wrong with you.

A guy who has made racist comments about someone else's wife and got suspended for it, is always the first to lecture others on how much better he is at controlling his emotions than them. Can't speak for anyone else, but it's one of my favorite cvon subplots.

Fools like Gosar and MTG have broken Congress. LINK

The Dem-controlled House of Representatives will vote today to censure Gosar and strip him of his committee assignments.... 

GOP leaders will be looking for revenge. Punchbowl News reports that Republican lawmakers are already talking about targeting Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) for removal from their committees. 

This shouldn't be a surprise: Such punishments used to be relatively rare in Congress, but today's vote will be the second time the mechanism has been used just this year. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) lost her committee assignments in February based on her past violent and anti-Semitic public comments. That's probably a sign of how extreme the Republican Party has become, but GOP leaders will argue instead that Democrats have set a precedent by "weaponizing" the process. 

What's more, if committee-stripping becomes routine in Congress, Democrats will pay disproportionately because they care more about actually governing. 

All of this means Democrats have a choice between taking the pain that is surely coming, or standing aside and doing nothing while members like Gosar promote violence against their colleagues. They're doing the right thing, but it will come with a cost. These days, it often seems like there are no good choices left.

The way you banish them to irrelevance is to ignore them and move on. Your approach feeds them.

A year from now we will be on the verge of a large republican house majority sadly.

Was that the conversation?

It seemed  like it was about a sitting elected official making death cartoons about other elected officials, and whether or not that warranted some sort of action.

Party leadership on both sides call him an idiot, censure him and move on. Then dont support him next run.

but then people dont get to cry about being butthurt. Words are still just words. Unprofessional? Clearly. Dumb? Yup. Pretty clearly stuff that is worthy of being dismissed.

But these are the very people that they are supporting. How are you so blind to this lol. The majority of their party loves this behavior and their voters eat it up.

They must not get news in TJ's gated community.

Can anyone clarify if a person being in a hilariously deep state of denial qualifies them as being overly emotional?

You see, there is such a backlog of Repubs still lining up to repudiate Trump, it could be awhile.

It is the way because of short aighted, emotional overreactions like your own. You think you are the solution. Its the opposite

 

I wish I could make this stuff up.

 

Yes, they are still in Dealey Plazz, yes they are singing 'We Are The Wolrd' and yes, they are Fing moonbats.

You cannot get it through your head that it's not about "my emotional overreaction".

If most people were rational as you wish them to be, we wouldn't even be in this situation. Because Gosar would never get close to a Congressional seat.

But that's not how it is. And your stoic approach to it is all well and good for you, but it doesn't change the fact that a critical mass of people actually DO care that their representatives are acting this way. And even worse - half of them are cheering it on. 

To turn a phrase from one of our last great American presidents: "the trouble with you is that you know so much that isn't so."

Don't forget, TJ agrees with tone of the video.
