    It Never Ceases to Amaze
    Now we have a liberal dem pulling a fire alarm in an attempt to delay a vote. Thankfully for him, his last name is not "Trump", so it's unlikely he will be charged with anything.

    Quote:

    Representative Jamaal Bowman, Democrat of New York, pulled a fire alarm in the House Cannon office building on Saturday as his party was trying to delay a vote on a stopgap spending bill, prompting an evacuation of the building and investigations by the Capitol Police and the House Administration Committee.
    The alarm was triggered at the same time that House Democrats at the Capitol were stalling a vote on a spending measure to keep the government operating for another 45 days. Speaker Kevin McCarthy had unveiled the bill just minutes earlier, and Democrats were scrambling to read the bill and determine whether to support it. Later in the day, the bill passed 335 to 91, with more Democrats voting for it than Republicans.

    I was not aware about the Dems wanting to delay the vote. I just figured he was as dumb as a rock .

    In Tennessee 3 Dems were trying to delay a gun vote. They joined protesters and then approached the podium out of turn carrying bull horns to lead the protest in the halls of the legislature.

    2 of the 3 were expelled from the Legislature. But the Repubs have a super-majority .

    It is doubtful that Bowman will face any disciplinary penalties.

    Perhaps both are true???

    Very likely true. Already it's been downplayed by the press. If a repub had done that, he would be pilloried.
