What a hero. I hope other stand up to trump like him.
Many Democrats voted to censure him. Please, tell me more about how they’re actually, totally, not controlled opposition.
- 10/214
  
  I honestly wonder if y'all can do math sometimes.
  
  That's 10 too many, and just one example of Democratic complicity in this fascist takeover. One of the DNC's most influential strategists, James Carville, has recommended that Democrats "roll over and play dead," and the majority seem to be taking that advice to heart.
  
  Insane America has a Neo Nazi admin and the party is even allowing it's members to vote to censure the only who had the balls to actually stand up to him and derail the speech. Fuckin shameful.
There are at least 3 resolutions in the House (probably more by now) calling for the censure of Al Green. 193, 197, 189. I would frame those and hang them outside my office.
- They already voted to censure him. Several Democrats voted in favor. Figure that one out.
  
  “Shut up, Al, we’re trying to negotiate good deals for ourselves. Don’t rock the boat!”
  
  Any idea what the ramifications are for getting censured? I might be willing to vote for my own censure just to stick my thumb in someone's eye.
  
  edit: nothing. No ramifications. I definitely would vote for my own censure.
  
  got a list btw
Why do i feel like this will be one of THOSE kinds of pictures in the future?
- Give it a year and chinese gamers will pop into chat just to say 'al green' and half the lobby gets kicked from the game.
  
  F
  
  And then the police come ask you some questions
- This picture will be in the "Prelude" section of the Wikipedia article.
Goes hard
Oh my! Such indecorum! clutches pearls, faints
Al should hit up the protest movements. Or they should hit him up.
How fitting to have the giant golden fasces right next to him (yes I'm aware it's not new).
- There's multiple in the building. I'd argue that being made when America was still a slave state genociding a continent isn't better, nor when the country was in the middle of Jim Crow.
  
  There was a period when neither fact was true, and then neoliberals immediately started merging corporation and state.
