For all the drama, House Republicans have passed only 22 bills into law this session. One established a commemorative coin, and two renamed medical centers.

    The guy who pulled the alarm deserved a censure. You don’t fuck with fire alarms. I’ll agree, Republicans do some stupid, unprofessional shit, and more than a few deserve a censure, but let’s not defend the guy who made the building less safe because he was late to a vote.

      I disagree. Since they can’t fine each other, censure is the strongest condemnation short of being stripped of committee assignments. While what he did wasn’t great, it was nowhere near serious enough to warrant censure.

      Yeah you do. Schoolkids do it all the time.

      but let’s not defend the guy who made the building less safe because he was late to a vote.

      I’m not saying it wasn’t a bad thing to do but he didn’t make the building less safe. That’s a ridiculous hypothetical based on assuming likelihood of an extremely unlikely confluence of events.

      You need to relax with the learned alarmism, pun intended.
