Wow, zero CO reps. I'm pleasantly surprised Degette and Ed P didn't join.

Not when their absence is geared toward inciting the unhinged left assembled in D.C. to cause trouble.

It is amazing how much of a deal was made of Trump possibly not accepting the results.......
And now the media has no issue with these cry babies not showing.
fricking ridiculous petulant children these liberals are.

They don't want to spoil the party so they won't go.
They'd hate their disappointment to show.
There's nothing for them here.
'Cause Hillary ain't up there.
If she shows up while they're gone.
Tell her to disappear.

I would just love to see the media's reaction if this many House Republicans refused to show up to Obama's inauguration. Hell, if even 2 missed it they'd probably flip out and call them racist (although that one Rep from Illinois has a legit excuse).

Democrats are a joke, they are truly embarrassing themselves. If they think for one second their actions are going to benefit them in any way and appeal to moderates/independents, they're in for a rude awakening. They'll lose even more control. What a stinking pile of shite that party is.

If they thought it would help re-election they would be there.
They don't its not complicated with pols.

This is good. It all does a small part in creating the idea that Trump is an illegitimate president given the Russian help, his loss of the popular vote, the fact that Trumpkins are dumb enough to believe in him.

Karma will follow them, and Republicans have long memories! They have learned NOTHING from the a-- whacking they got in November.
This is just one the issues on both sides of the political aisle. Each side is too busy trying to frick the other leaving no time to govern properly. The country is fricked no matter who wins. Until people quit voting the same people into office, it will continue. But hey. What do i know?

In other words, wah, I'm embarrassed because we made fools of ourselves by bragging two weeks before the election that the election is over and that Hillary is going to win in a landslide.

The 2020 district gerrymandering will be fun.

Won't be the first time they are wrong.
Just listened to Lou Dobbs talk with David Horowitz re his new book on Trump's Agenda. DH said that Trump has 139 Billion in Public School funds that will be given to Black (Religious) Charter Schools in the Inner Cities. I think all of us knows what that means; at least all but those yahoos who think no-showing will make grist.

No, it's showing rational Americans just how unhinged the left has become. We won't even talk about the fact the left harped on Trump "accepting the results" as did the media.

My quick Wikipedia research indicates that the Speaker appoints members to select or special committees, which are temporary.
There are still a set number of Dems on these committees.
And these aren't the powerful committees by and large. Not that it really matters since policy ultimately is dictated by the speaker, Senate majority leader and the President.

Lou Dobbs is good tonight; talking about education and actually teaching and not dicatating government politics and SJW crap in schools.
