Direct Headline: Greeted by protests, Rep. Ilhan Omar tells LA-area Muslims to ‘raise hell’ in face of intolerance

Freshman Congresswoman Ilham Omar of Minnesota urged some 400 Los Angeles-area Muslims packed inside the Woodland Hills Hilton on Saturday to stand defiant and “raise hell” in the face of discrimination they confront as Muslims in America. “I say raise hell, make people uncomfortable,” said Omar to emphatic applause.

** Osario-Cortez's Communications Director Lauren Hitt approaches Twitter and Big Social Media to suppress any messages/ban any users who refer to AOC's past commentary about "protesting" and "rioting" that lent support/justification for those actions. The DNC did not denounce the protesting/rioting/looting because they did not want to antagonize the Black Lives Matter movement and risk losing the black vote and anger the radical left elements of their party and also lose those votes. In fact, the other core members of The Squad spoke out to "raise hell and make people uncomfortable" and "call for unrest in the streets" and say "there is no wrong way to protest."  So Big Blue cities with Democratic Governors and Mayors abandoned all those small businesses, the full representation of the "American Dream" be looted and burned down as police were told to stand back and many rioters/looters who were arrested were simply released the next day. The DNC currently wants to distance itself from the rioting and looting in major cities for months, since it has to now denounce the Capitol protests/rioting/violence and not look like hypocrites. **

Direct Headline: Twitter Bans Users From Retweeting Trump’s Call For Peace, Rule Of Law

January 6, 2021 By Jordan Davidson

https://thefederalist.com/2021/01/06/twitter-bans-users-from-retweeting-trumps-call-for-peace-rule-of-law/

** When the White House was surrounded during the DC protests/riots right after the death of George Floyd, and after 50 Secret Service agents were injured attempted to defend the White House, the leftist MSM and woke cancel culture pundits made jokes and mocked Trump being moved into a secure bunker. It's a source of humor six months ago to see fires being lit, fights breaking out and rioting/looting all over the city since it serves Orange Man Bad, but it should never be treated as seriously as what happened a few days ago? Certainly what happened a few days ago was tragic and unacceptable, but if it's clearly that currently, it should have been treated that way during the George Floyd riots outside the White House in June. Anything less is open hypocrisy. Now Facebook will simply wash away all video and photos, since no one in Big Social Media wants to see video and photos of the majority there who were NOT violent and NOT storming the Capitol. And since Trump asking the violence to stop doesn't fit the narrative, he's banned from saying stop the violence.  **

Direct Headline: Kamala Harris Wants To Ban Trump From Twitter, And Her Former Spokesman Is Now Twitter’s Top Censorship Flak

Nick Pacilio, served as Harris’ communications director from 2013 – 2014 when she was still California attorney general, and now works as Twitter’s senior communications manager.

** Twitters senior communications manager, in charge of what should be censored, used to work for Kamala Harris. Harris makes no secret of wanting to de-platform Trump everywhere. It's OK to ban Trump, but if Chris Cuomo implies protests don't have to be polite and peaceful, then no one says a word. If those in the MSM and DNC loyalists call for "cleansing" of conservatives and lists being made to later punish them, then no one says a word. If cities burn and businesses are looted and innocent hard working American citizens and their families have their lives destroyed so the DNC does not lose the radical left and black vote down the ticket, then no one says a word. Right now there is a call for every punishment in the book for the Capitol protests and riots a few days ago, but when Portland had a hundred nights of protests/rioting/looting where major sections of the city were literally surrendered, there were clearly organized Antifa cells with Molotov cocktails and some rioters/looters/Antifa tried to burn others alive in cars and buildings, all knowing if they were arrested they would be released again to start the madness anew, then no one says a word.

I don't agree with what happened a few day ago in the Capitol, but this is NOT a one sided story. You can't have the left enable looting, rioting and burning down businesses all year and have Democratic leadership vilify the current behavior at the Capitol, then stand indignant today without drowning in their own hypocrisy. Some of you, not all of you, will follow the policy of "no one says a word", but this more than just about Donald Trump and one administration, this is about the world your children and grandchildren will inherit.  What will you do when your children and grandchildren are listed and silenced and cleansed when someone decides they aren't woke enough, liberal enough, cancel culture enough, left enough, progressive enough, until there is no one left. It won't end with cancelling conservatives. We are just the appetizer. Your children's freedom and lives are the main course.  **

 
Since we are calling the people that broke into capital domestic terrorist , shouldn’t we say the same about what happen in other cities?

 
To put it to a vote?  Has anyone brought articles forward?  If not why not?
It was originally put in place right after Civil War.  I looked it up and it takes 2/3 majority to remove a member of Congress under this article.  I would assume a majority to bring to vote.

Why havnt Republicans brought articles forward to impeach AOC?
They don’t have a House majority and 14th Amendment seems like a stretch in all cases.  
So what if they dont have a majority?  Call a spade a spade.  Work for your constituents.

The alternative is that Republicans dont agree that she should be impeached.
