    I am out of the loop on what happened here! Not really seeing any info on the posts about it. Does someone have a lil summary?

      Democrat Al Green protested Trump’s speech to Congress, would not relent, and was removed by security. Then from what I understand, there was a vote to censure him (meaningless slap on the wrist in today’s politics) and 10 members of his own party shamefully voted with the Republicans to have him punished.

          The career path for a Democrat is

          1. Get into national politics
          2. Don’t offend the corpos so you can build connections with them for Step 4
          3. Don’t rock the boat so you keep your political connections for Step 4
          4. When its time to retire, join a lobbying firm and use your political and corporate connections for a nice cushy paycheck.

          Which is why they hate any democrat that rocks the boat: they’re endangering their retirement.

            That’s exactly right. Except you left out all the lucrative insider trading they enjoy during 1-3. And just in case anyone tries to pull the wrong idea from any of this, the Republicans are even worse than that.

        I was curious who voted, CNN says these are the ones:

        The 10 Democrats who voted with Republicans to censure Green were: Ami Bera of California, Ed Case of Hawaii, Jim Costa of California, Laura Gillen of New York, Jim Himes of Connecticut, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, Jared Moskowitz of Florida, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington and Tom Suozzi of New York.
