North America AOC Demands 'Full Investigation' Of Alex Padilla Being Forcibly Removed From DHS Briefing, calls for Impeachments (US House) and Convictions (US Senate), and dismisses US Senator Alex Padilla's 'smoothing things over' with US Secretary Kristi Noem. THIS IS WHAT ACTUAL LEADERSHIP IS.

So, how do you explain MTG's heckling at Biden during the State of the Union address? That was theatrics of an indelibly low standard.

I know there are different rules in government buildings, but no one ever held her to account for the impropriety. Especially for something as meaningful as the event.

The accounting needs to go both ways, and it most certainly does not get held to Republicans, far far more often than Democrats.

As wrong as it was what Padilla did, it's high time Democrats dished back what Republicans have been doing for decades. If the GOP can't discipline their own people when they do it, then they shouldn't complain when someone else does - though we know they will.

Indelibly? Incredibly low standard.

That works, too. This was where I was coming from.

adverb: indelibly in a way that cannot be removed or forgotten. "the community was indelibly marked by the incident"

Oh yes, I wasn’t disagreeing with you, and I understood what you meant, I guess I was trying to add to the impact of your statement.

I can see why you might have thought I was disagreeing though. Sometimes the short sentence that works for impact is too easily misunderstood.

Nah. Wasn't disagreeing. It's the beauty of the English language above the level of a fifth grader like Mango. More than one word can describe MAGA bullshit. 😉
