[FRIAM] Tangled up in our own 2nd Amendment? Bleak Lives Manner?

[Marcus Daniels]

Ironically, people like Matt Gaetz are a pretty good explanation for how antifa thinking comes to be.
Every model induced, every word spoken in debate with them is wasted time.  
That's why they keep talking about antifa:  They know they have it coming.

Prolly won't go anywhere. But maybe I'm cynical:

Anyway, it's the Senate that matters. Here's the vote records (select "Yea/Aye" in the Votes drop down):

I think motion 10 was against electors from AZ and 11 was against PA. Similarly for the Senate:

  https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=117&session=1&vote=00002#position


I think it's super fvcking SCARY to hear people talking about expelling democratically elected members of congress just for raising objections and voting. I drift a bit more toward Dave's position when the left talks like that. The people who should be arrested, tried, and (if found guilty) punished are the assholes who broke into the Capitol, *not* duly elected representatives following congressional rules as best they can. The left can't have the cake and eat it. Either our elections are relatively trustworthy or they're not.

The instigators like Gosar, Perry, Cruz, and Hawley deserve some blowback, maybe even expulsion. But not the others who simply voted for the objections.
