BREAKING: Steny Hoyer rules on behalf on the Parliamentarian that Pelosi's words are inappropriate

[brooklynite]

Before you get angry, this appears to be a procedural step leading to a Republican motion to strike them, which will certainly be defeated.

1. And this is better politics than launching an impeachment inquiry because

why again?

[leftstreet]

4. LOL

[FirstLight]

6. this is such bullshit...IMPEACH THE MFer NOW!!!

I hate that Nancy is not doing shit

[jberryhill]

8. Because Nancy Pelosi is a genius and impeachment bad and stuff

[ismnotwasm]

12. This is a mere taste.

[PoliticAverse]

13. "He's not worth it." n/t

[Maven]

17. Impeachment is so divisive!!!!11!!!

[riversedge]

2. Jake Tapper on cnn just said that Pelosi had cleared her words with the Parliamentarian before

she spoke them on the floor of the House.

[elleng]

3. This will take explanation.

I wish it weren't necessary.

[DURHAM D]

5. Fuck This Shit.

She had already cleared the statement with Parliamentarian. If some rules says you can not call someone a racist I would like to know why?

THIS IS BEYOND STUPID.

7. We need to stand up for our citizens of minority backgrounds and firmly say, enough to...

rump and cronies and send a strong message against this racist and the racism that he represents. I am sick and tired of this pointing to certain Americans and calling them names and telling them to go back to where they come from. Enough.

All of us are Americans.

9. They need to change that rule.

Saw it in another thread. Made in 2016 when the Republicans had control of the house. Says that you can't call the president racist, or say he used racist language...etc... because it isn't "in order"

You should be able to call a racist a racist.

10. Assuming you are correct, this sounds too clever by half

I guess I believe in the keep it simple principle

[elleng]

11. Yes

[watoos]

14. Maybe it's too soon?

What is happening with the vote? It looks like Republicans have taken over the House.

Emmanuel Cleaver abandoned the chair.

Is this a prelude of what is going to happen in the Mueller hearing?

Cable news sucks, what is going on?

Dems are going to overrule the Parliamentarian?

[dalton99a]

15. We're in charge and can't even pass a simple fucking statement condemning the asshole

Change the rules and push it through

[Glimmer of Hope]

16. Thanks for the explanation. Bring it on!

[watoos]

18. This is why I only watch

Nicolle and Rachel, Kornacki and Wolf are worthless. I’m done watching this shit.

I do have to take the garbage out.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.
