Pramila Jayapal Whines About Death Threats After Her Little Communist Vacation to Cuba

Chennai, India-born Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) fresh off a taxpayer-funded jaunt to the socialist paradise of Cuba, is now playing the victim card harder than a socialist plays the "inequality" card.

Apparently, receiving death threats for "doing her job," which in her case seems to involve cozying up to a brutal dictatorship, has her clutching her pearls and calling everyone mean. Jayapal, who went to the island with fellow progressive Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) back in April, met with Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, top regime officials, some hand-picked "dissidents," and various foreign ambassadors. She then came back and blubbered about the "crisis beyond imagination" that U.S. sanctions are supposedly causing. 

"It's ridiculous," she sniffed to Fox News Digital. Yeah, lady, it is ridiculous, but not for the reasons you think.

Jayapal insists these meetings with ambassadors are just "part of our job." You know, the same job where she apparently thinks the United States should engage in "true diplomatic negotiations" with a communist hellhole instead of, I don't know, maintaining pressure on a regime that loves teaming up with Iran, Hezbollah, and every other anti-American dumpster diver on the planet.

She's now working on legislation to fight what she dramatically calls the "cruel collective punishment" of U.S. fuel restrictions. Because in progressive land, expecting a dictatorship to stop starving and oppressing its own people is somehow collective punishment. The embargo that's been around longer than most TikTok communists have been alive? Totally ineffective, according to her. Never mind that it might have something to do with the fact that communism has a 100% failure rate everywhere it's been tried.

The White House didn't exactly roll out the red carpet for her Havana holiday, calling it "shameful" and accusing her of a bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. A spokesperson nailed it: Democrats are the "America Last" party, the ones happy to sip cocktails with terrorists while undermining the U.S. to prop up a failed communist relic.

Naturally, Jayapal spent her Seattle briefing painting heartbreaking pictures of NICU babies and empty shelves, because if there's one thing Democrats excel at, it's selective humanitarian concern. Funny how that compassion never seems to extend to the Cuban people rotting in prisons for daring to speak against the regime, or the waves of desperate migrants fleeing the socialist utopia she wants to go easier on.

Questions about the Logan Act, that dusty old law about unauthorized negotiations with foreign governments, have been floated, but don't hold your breath. Laws are for little people, not globe-trotting progressive lawmakers who think they're Secretary of State.

Jayapal has long pushed to lift the embargo, take Cuba off the State Sponsor of Terrorism list, and generally treat a repressive dictatorship like it's just misunderstood. She's criticized the Cuban government before, sure, but actions speak louder than the occasional performative scold. Right now, her actions scream "useful idiot."

The backlash was predictable, and the death threats are inexcusable. But maybe, just maybe, if you didn't keep running interference for America's enemies, fewer people would be inclined to lose their minds about it. Just a thought from the cheap seats.

Swalwell gets the Dem hook for sexual misconduct allegations

"It's this big"

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) just dropped a political grenade on Monday, announcing he would resign his congressional seat in the wake of multiple bombshell reports from last Friday that kneecapped his already-flailing bid to become the next governor of California.

"I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past," Swalwell said in a statement. "I will fight the serious, false allegations made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make."

Mistake in judgment? His behavior [allegedly] was not a 'mistake,' it was on purpose [allegedly] and an ongoing behavior [allegedly].

"I am aware of efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and other members. Expelling anyone in Congress without due process, within days of an allegation being made, is wrong," he continued. "But it's also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties. Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress."

Funny, but isn't that exactly what he wanted to happen to Justice Kavanaugh during the hearings for his appointment to SCOTUS?

At least four women have accused Swalwell [aka Swell-well] of sexual misconduct, including a former aide who alleged he raped her when she was intoxicated and could not consent, according to reporting from the Compromised News Network (CNN) and The San Francisco Chronicle.

Swalwell’s abrupt resignation announcement looks like a desperate sprint to the exits, potentially short-circuiting a bipartisan push to expel him from the House that was set to ramp up as early as this week.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, the no-nonsense Florida Republican, was gearing up to introduce a resolution to boot Swalwell on Tuesday and had been pressing House GOP leadership to hold a vote on Wednesday.

Luna called on lawmakers from both parties to set aside "ideological differences" and back her measure alongside a separate expulsion effort targeting embattled Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) led by Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-NM).

"It is our responsibility, according to the Constitution and House rules, to hold one another accountable, especially when it brings dishonor upon the institution," Luna wrote to her House colleagues Tuesday in a letter reviewed by Fox News Digital. "We as Members of Congress need to stand together in publicly condemning this behavior and restore the trust we have lost with the American people."

The Florida Republican had warned over the weekend that she’d draft the expulsion papers if Swalwell didn’t resign by the time lawmakers returned to Washington on Tuesday. Luna’s resolution was on track to pick up serious bipartisan backing.

Even Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), a leading progressive voice, was among the Democrats voicing support for the expulsion drive.

Other Democrats urged Swalwell to step down but stopped short of endorsing Luna’s hard-line resolution.

The Democratic backlash following the San Francisco Chronicle’s gut-wrenching reporting triggered a stampede of Swalwell’s colleagues and longtime allies yanking their endorsements for his now-suspended gubernatorial campaign — including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi herself.

Swalwell bailed on the 2026 primary to succeed Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday, despite polling that had him looking like a top-tier contender just days earlier.

Swalwell first entered the House in 2013. Prior to that, he worked as a prosecutor in the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office and served on the Dublin, California, city council starting in 2010.

In Congress, he was a key player in the 2019 impeachment push against President Donald Trump and, before that, helmed investigations into whether Russian meddling actually swung the 2016 election.

Whether this resignation spells the final chapter of Swalwell’s political career remains to be seen.

"I'm outta here"

The Chronicle’s Friday bombshell laid out graphic details from a woman accusing Swalwell of targeting intoxicated women, pressuring staffers into compromising situations, and soliciting explicit images from female contacts.

Whispers of misconduct had started bubbling earlier this month when Cheyenne Hunt, a former Capitol Hill staffer turned political commentator, began sharing testimony from women claiming they were sexually assaulted by the congressman.

"The Democratic candidate currently leading in the California governor’s race has a known history of being predatory towards women," Hunt posted on social media.

Swalwell’s team initially went radio silent before pushing back in comments to the New York Post earlier this week.

"This false, outrageous rumor is being spread 27 days before an election begins by flailing opponents who have sadly teamed up with MAGA conspiracy theorists because they know Eric Swalwell is the frontrunner in this race," spokesperson Micah Beasley said.

Swalwell’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment because to do so would be a political blunder.

Unrelenting Trump critic says why he was wrong to eliminate the bushy bearded, now dead guy and his pals in Iran

Chennai, India-born Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) attacked President Donald J. Trump's decision to attack and quickly eliminate the bushy-bearded Shi'a cleric and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with other Islamic Republic Guard Corps (the 's' is silent) in Iran.

"Trump killed the religious and spiritual leader of Iran," Rep. Jayapal said, carefully leaving out the President's title. "He seemed nice with his cute hat and bushy beard. I don't understand why Trump had him eliminated."

The congresswoman defended her Iran War Powers vote:  "Congress alone has power to declare war," warning of long-term consequences and adding it "shouldn’t be partisan." 

The last time Congress formally declared war was on June 4, 1942 and Jayapal asked, "Isn't it about time Congress did again? We do so little during the year it's about time we earned our money legally."

Since the United States was formed back in 1776, Congress has formally declared war 11 times across five conflicts since the Constitution adoption in 1789:

War of 1812: Great Britain (1812)
Mexican-American War: Mexico (1846)
Spanish-American War: Spain (1898)
World War I: Germany (1917) and Austria-Hungary (1917)
World War II: Japan (1941), Germany (1941), Italy (1941), and Bulgaria/Hungary/Romania (1942)

The House voted on a Democrat-led Iran War Powers Resolution designed to limit President Trump's  [aka The Commander-in-Chief] military authority in Tehran. This brings to the forefront once again, the issue over executive powers and what level a president must consult with the loose-lips of members of Congress before waging military strikes. 

If passed, Trump would have to end the use of U.S. troops against Iran and thus allow the regime to continue killing Iranian civilians, as it currently appears to be the case.

Republicans, meanwhile, maintain that the White House is acting within its authority in the best interests of the country and of the remaining Iranian people who have not been killed for protesting the theocratic dictatorship they live under.

And while Jayapal is consistent in her efforts to give Congress the power that Commanders-in-Chief had in the past, others like Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Adam Schiff (D-CA) supported former President Joe Biden's attack on Syria.

For those keeping score, here is a short list by Grok of past presidents who bypassed Congress to use military force: 

Harry S. Truman (1945–1953): Korean War (1950–1953) — Truman committed US troops under UN auspices to repel North Korea's invasion of South Korea, without a declaration of war (often called a "police action").

Lyndon B. Johnson (1963–1969) and Richard Nixon (1969–1974): Vietnam War escalation (major US combat from 1965–1973) — Johnson used the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (1964) as authorization to deploy hundreds of thousands of troops; combat continued under Nixon.

Ronald Reagan (1981–1989): Invasion of Grenada (1983, Operation Urgent Fury) — Troops deployed to restore order and protect US citizens after a coup.

George H.W. Bush (1989–1993): Invasion of Panama (1989, Operation Just Cause) — Troops sent to depose Manuel Noriega and protect US interests. Also initiated Operation Desert Shield/Storm (1990–1991 Gulf War) — Large-scale deployment to liberate Kuwait from Iraq, authorized by Congress and UN.

Bill Clinton (1993–2001): Interventions in Somalia (ongoing from Bush era but combat under Clinton), Haiti (1994, Operation Uphold Democracy), Bosnia (1995 NATO bombing/air campaign), and Kosovo (1999 NATO bombing campaign) — US forces engaged in combat roles, often under NATO/UN frameworks without new congressional war declarations.

George W. Bush (2001–2009): War in Afghanistan (2001–2021, Operation Enduring Freedom) — Invasion to oust Taliban and pursue al-Qaeda post-9/11, authorized by 2001 AUMF. Iraq War (2003–2011, Operation Iraqi Freedom) — Invasion to remove Saddam Hussein, authorized by 2002 AUMF.

Barack Obama (2009–2017): Escalated drone strikes and special operations in multiple countries; 2011 Libya intervention (NATO-led air campaign with US combat role); expanded operations against ISIS in Iraq/Syria (2014 onward, under 2001 AUMF).

Other presidents (e.g., Eisenhower, Kennedy, Ford, Carter, Biden) authorized combat in limited contexts (e.g., Lebanon 1958/1982–1983 under Eisenhower/Reagan, or ongoing counterterrorism under Biden), but often smaller-scale or continuations of prior conflicts. 

None of them asked for permission.

So there you have it--hypocrisy on the Hill.

House passes Laken Riley Act again: 159 leftist Democrats oppose it

On Tuesday, the Republican-led House of Representatives passed the "Laken Riley Act" once again, legislation that mandates federal officials to arrest undocumented immigrants charged with theft in the United States. While that should be a 'no-brainer,' some on the left don't agree with the bill.

The bill garnered support from forty-eight Democrats and 216 Republicans, securing its approval in the House. It had previously passed in March of the previous year, but this session saw 159 Democrats voting against it, down from 170 in the prior vote.

These dissenting votes, according to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), demonstrated that some Democrats "ignored" the public's demand for "secure borders, the deportation of violent illegal aliens, and laws that put the safety and security of the American people first."

This act is named in honor of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student from Georgia who was brutally killed last year. The convicted scumcrumpet, Jose Ibarra, a 26-year-old undocumented immigrant from Venezuela, was sentenced to life imprisonment for her murder.

The legislation would compel the Secretary of Homeland Security to detain undocumented immigrants charged with theft within the U.S. and also grants states the authority to sue federal officials for "injunctive relief" should immigration policies or actions adversely affect their citizens.

During the debate, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) criticized the bill, stating that it was an attempt by lawmakers to "score cheap political points off of a tragic death" and that it "unfairly sweeps up many more innocent lives with no due process."

Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), who reintroduced the bill for the current session of Congress, highlighted in a press release that the Laken Riley Act "directly addresses one of the federal policy failures" linked to Riley's murder. According to Collins, "Ibarra is an illegal alien who had been previously cited for shoplifting by the Athens Police Department. If local law enforcement had called ICE, and ICE issued a detainer and picked him up, Laken would be alive."

Although the Senate, under Democratic control, did not previously vote on the Laken Riley Act, with the shift to Republican control, a Senate version of the bill has been reintroduced. Notably, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has co-sponsored this effort, commenting, "Laken Riley’s story is a tragic reminder of what’s at stake when our systems fail to protect people. No family should have to endure the pain of losing a loved one to preventable violence."

Pramila Jayapal has a laugh over illegal alien raping young girl in NYC

Washington Democrat Rep. Pramila "Frog Eyes" Jayapal had a good chuckle during a tv interview where she discussed several news chyrons that were displayed by various networks during a Biden mumble about illegal immigration. On such chyron came from Fox News and referred to an illegal alien in New York City who violently raped a 13-year-old girl last week.

“There’s a lot of fear mongering,” the far-left Jayapal claimed during an MSNBC segment with homophobic Joy Reid.

Reid read chyrons that the three major cable news networks had on their screens as Biden held a press conference announcing that he was taking executive action to protect hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens in the U.S. by basically peeing on the U.S. Constitution.

The chyrons said: 

MNSBC: “Soon Biden Announces Legal Protections For Undocumented Spouses Of U.S. Citizens”
CNN: “Biden Announcing New Protections For Some Undocumented Spouses”
Fox News: “Migrant Arrested For Raping 13-Year-Old NYC Girl”

As Reid read the Fox News chyron, Jayapal chuckled, “Ah, yes!” and blamed Fox News for fear mongering, in spite of the national headlines this particular attack received. 

It isn't so much that Fox was fear mongering, it's more like Jayapal was discounting the problems illegal aliens have been causing across the nation. And worse, the distinct probability that our open borders are allowing terrorists to enter. We have caught some, but we know that we haven't caught all of them.

Last week, a 25-year-old illegal alien from Ecuador was arraigned on multiple charges after being beaten and held for the police to arrive after attacking a 13-year-old girl in Kissena Park in Queens. This is practically in the shadow of Citi Field, home of the NY Mets.

Somehow Jayapal thinks that's nothing to worry about. Certainly not for her, anyway.

Freed hostages at Tel Aviv rally tell of torture and other details under Hamas

"It was a horror movie," was how freed Hamas hostages described their ordeal at a rally in Tel Aviv on Saturday. They described the “hell” of captivity and called for the release of those still in Gaza and expressed their gratitude to be home.

Not all released hostages were in attendance but appeared on video. An entire new level of understanding and emotion was experienced in the latest of  a series of rallies that began before the recent weeklong cease-fire and partial hostage release.

“It was a horror movie,” said Danielle Aloni, 44, according to the Times of Israel. “There was no schedule. You sleep, you weep. Every day was an eternity.”

Aloni was released on Nov. 24, the first day of the cease-fire, along with her young daughter, Emilia, but worries deeply for relatives still being held among the 137 remaining in Gaza.

“People could die simply because they’ll decide to murder them,” said Aloni, describing what seems to have come from the movie "Schindler's List."

Holocaust survivor Yaffa Adar, 85, said that she and her fellow hostages endured “hell” — and called for continued efforts to free those still there, including her adult grandson, Tamir.

“I beg the decision-makers, get the children and everyone out,” Adar reportedly said. “I am a voice for many mothers and grandmothers asking ‘release the children now.’” 

“I want to see them now,” she said. “Not when I’m in a coffin.”

The dribble-like release of hostages came to an abrupt halt on Friday, when Hamas claimed that Israel rejuected their offer to free a group of older men, rather than women and children. Does anyone in their right mind believe that nonsense? Every person counts to Israel.

Not surprisingly, some Democrats like Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) try to equate the atrocities of Hamassholes with the retaliation by Israel's IDF. She and the so called Squad, along with their anti-Semitic followers, are no different than the Nazis, a label they try to pin on Israel, the one country that takes more care than any other in history to minimize civilian casualties.

Free the hostages now.

Jayapal getting the Adam Schiff treatment from House GOP over anti-Semitic comments

Jayapal identifies as a swamp creature

House Republicans are attempting to censure Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) for calling Israel a "racist state." After realizing she was saying those words out loud, she later tried walking them back. She even voted "yes" on a GOP-led resolution stating that Israel is not a racist or apartheid state, but that is too little too late and an obvious attempt for the chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus to stay out of trouble. 

Isn't it sad that we need a resolution to state the obvious about Israel and bite our tongues over the obvious about Palestine and most of the Middle East?

Jayapal said at a Netroots Nation panel in Chicago last weekend, "I want you to know that we have been fighting to make it clear that Israel is a racist state, that the Palestinian people deserve self-determination and autonomy, that the dream of a two-state solution is slipping away from us — that it doesn't even feel possible."

Jayapal's embarrassing anti-Semitic remarks [because let's face it, attacking Israel is a backdoor way of attacking the Jews] came just prior to Israel's President Herzog's address to a joint meeting of Congress.

After she walked it back, however, she couldn't help but take a poke at Israel's Prime Minister: "I do, however, believe that Netanyahu’s extreme right-wing government has engaged in discriminatory and outright racist policies and that there are extreme racists driving that policy within the leadership of the current government."

Reps. Andy Ogles (R-TN), Randy Weber (R-TX), and Jeff Duncan (R-SC) filed the resolution on Thursday but it isn't certain that House leaders will bring it to the floor for a vote. Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has yet to comment on the resolution.

It looks like Republicans are going to use this opportunity to highlight the divides between the two major parties after a boatload of progressive-led anti-Zionist bile was evident among the Democrats, particularly those members of the so-called "squad."

Two committees linked to "squad" member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and another "squad"-linked and another one linked to the "squad" send thousands of dollars to an anti-Israel/anti-Semitic firm over the past two years, as filings indicate.

Together, these progressive entities combined to send almost $270,000 to Unbought Power LLC, a Florida-based consulting and advocacy firm owned and operated by Rasha Mubarak, a political activist who had openly expressed anti-Israel views on social media platforms.

Another member of the "squad" had also come under strong criticism over past anti-Semitic rhetoric. Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, another overt anti-Israel/anti-Semite, has an ongoing problem with her mouth and brain as she has uttered many comments and tropes about Israel and the Jews.

Jayapal's initial blather was quickly rebuked by House Democratic leaders and also in a letter by 43 of her colleagues who called her comments "unacceptable." The resolution to support Israel received wide approval, however even then, nine Democrats voted against it.

Jayapal et al claim Israeli Jews are racist, walks it back with hair-brained excuse

Far-left Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) made comments along with her panel pals Saturday, in which she said that "Israel is a racist state." If it wasn't a racist state then why do they defend themselves when Hamassholes and their anti-Zionist allies in Gaza fire rockets at them? 

Knowing that American Jews might not vote for her fellow Democrats, those in the House condemned her statement, but many had their fingers crossed behind their backs.

The congresswoman made the comment during a panel with other anti-Semites Reps. Jan Shakowsky (D-IL) and Chuy Garcia (D-AZ) when anti-Israel, anti-Semitic demonstrators chanted that phrase at them. 

“I want you to know that we have been fighting to make it clear that Israel is a racist state, that the Palestinian people deserve self-determination and autonomy,” Jayapal said.

Fun Facts: 

Israel has a large number of Muslims in their population and in their government. Gaza has no Jews still alive in their territory and zero Jews in their government. 

Israel medically treats injured Palestinians, even those who attack Israeli citizens; Hamas and the Palestinian Authority does not. In fact, they celebrate the killing of Jews and hand out candy on the streets of Gaza, even when Israeli women and children are slaughtered.

Israel avoids returning fire across the border if it originates at a school or mosque, as it often does [Hamas knows Israel does all it can to minimize collateral damage], Palestine fires "dumb" rockets into civilian areas with no regard of what is being targeted.

Jayapal's comments drew a smattering of applause and mindless cheers from anti-Zionists in the audience but soon led to a rebuke from fellow Democrats who were hoping to score the Jewish-American vote.

“Israel is not a racist state,” a letter from the House Democratic leadership read without explicitly naming the execrable Jayapal. “America and Israel have a uniquely special relationship anchored in our shared democratic values and strategic interests. As House Democratic leaders, we strongly support Israel’s right to exist as a homeland for the Jewish people.”

Well thank you for allowing Israel to exist, Democrats. It's very kind of you.

Jayapal released a lying statement Sunday afternoon attempting to walk back her comments, saying, “I attempted to defuse a tense situation during a panel where fellow members of Congress were being protested. Words do matter and so it is important that I clarify my statement. I do not believe the idea of Israel as a nation is racist.”

So she makes a racist statement then says she was just kidding because she wanted to defuse a racist situation. She has the brains of elevator flatulence.

Let's see what Biden says about Jayapal's anti-Semitic remark, and maybe throw in a little bit of Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib's  past anti-Israel/anti-Semitic comments too.

The Señor Wences-looking Jayapal, who leads the House Progressive Caucus, then took aim at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying his “extreme right-wing government has engaged in discriminatory and outright racist policies.”

Señor Wences

A separate letter from a group of Jewish Democrats, which was making the rounds gathering signatures, expresses “deep concern” over Jayapal’s “unacceptable” remarks. “We will never allow anti-Zionist voices that embolden antisemitism to hijack the Democratic Party and country,” the letter says, according to the Comedy News Network.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Monday called upon House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to address Jayapal’s and other Democrats’ anti-Israel comments.

“This isn’t the first person in the Democratic conference that has continued to make anti-Semitic comments,” McCarthy said, referring to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) 2021 comparison of Israel with the Taliban and other disgusting statements. “I think this is a role for the leader, Hakeem, to prove that no, they’re not anti-Semitic.”

Jayapal’s comments come ahead of Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s address to a joint session of Congress later this week, commemorating the Jewish State’s 75th Anniversary.

Democratic leadership has been receptive to Herzog’s visit. “I look forward to welcoming him with open arms,” Jeffries said at a news conference last week, calling Herzog “a force for good in Israeli society.”

But socialists, including Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Dummy-NY), Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), and Cori Bush (D-MO), have all said they will not attend Herzog’s speech in protest to Jews everywhere. 

 Jayapal is probably going to forgo the speech too, as she is worried that the squad might ignore her in the future.

Marjorie Taylor Greene booted off Twitter forever: Democrats rejoice

"For you are the wind beneath my wings"

The Twitter account of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has been permanently suspended due to her repeated postings about COVID-19, the uselessness of face masks, and other information she believes is correct but the left, some guy who controls the "Suspension Button" for Twitter, and former Tampa Bay Buccaneer Antonio Brown disagrees. 

In a game Sunday against the New York Jets, Brown removed his shoulder pads and jersey, threw his shirt into the crowd in protest over Greene, and basically quit the team as he headed into the locker room. "If Greene can say what she says about coronavirus, I don't have to stick around this damn team and catch footballs. I'm outta here," he said to the voices in his head.

After the Greene suspension and the Brown firing, Marcus Flowers, a Democrat who plans to run against Greene in the 2022 midterms, called for her removal from Congress and asked that her seat be immediately given to him to save the cost of his campaign and anyone far-left enough to donate to it. 

Washington Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (D-07) agreed with Flowers, calling not only for Greene's removal from Congress, but for significant jail time along with former President Trump and Ted Cruz (R-TX) for things they said in the past.

When found sandwich-dancing with two gay men dressed as Cinderella and Madonna at a Florida drag bar, the maskless Congress Latinx Alexandria Obviously-Commie (Socialist-NY) put down her martini, and told Brain Flushing reporter, Tilio Jose Shapiro, "I think it's outrageous that she [Greene] has been getting away with this crap--oh did I just say crap-- for so long. Who does she think she is anyway? Me? She wishes. Hey, do you want to date me? You do . . . I can tell."

When asked why Hamas and the Taliban are still on Twitter, their spokescisgender person refused to comment.

Rep. Jayapal's tweet on canceling student loan goes over like a lead balloon

Socialist Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) believes that people who take out student loans with the promise to repay them should not have to carry the burden of their promises. The Señor Wences lookalike took to Twitter to pressure lawmakers to go along with President Biden's plan to forgive up to $50,000 in student debt by executive order. Due to her lack of insight, she was surprised by the responses she received on Twitter.

"I want to hear from you," she posted on Twitter. "How would cancelling $50,000 of student loan debt help you and your family?"

Some of the answers she got were priceless. "Could I have the $50,000 I already paid put back in my bank account?" one person wrote.

"Pls figure out what to give working class people who didn’t go to college to avoid this and feel they’re footing the bill with nothing in return," another user wrote.

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer along with Sen. Elizabeth "Throwing Bull" Warren and Rep. Ayanna Pressley two weeks ago urged Biden to use his pen and his phone to forgive student debt borrowers promised to repay. [It's always easy to be Robin Hood when you're robbing from others, even if they aren't rich.]

Señor Wences

They urged Biden in a resolution to use  "existing legal authorities" under the Higher Education act of 1965. The resolution also "encourages" Biden to use executive authority under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, which would prevent administrative debt cancellation from resulting in a tax liability for borrowers.

Biden indicated on Tuesday that writing off $50,000 in student debt is not something that he was told can be "done with presidential action," but said he is prepared to eliminate $10,000 for students, because somehow that is a magic number.

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) wrote an op-ed on FoxNews.com Tuesday saying that Republicans "need to have a better answer to calls for debt forgiveness."

He posits that Congress and the administration "should do a better job of informing borrowers about what options exist to make affordable payments, while simplifying options to remove confusion."

Others, like regular taxpayers and those who have repaid their student loans, believe that a deal is a deal, a promise is a promise, and you should pay your damn loan. It was given in good faith and you have no right to ask for public charity, especially because the whole charade benefits the rich and hurts the poor. 

Robin Hood was a socialist who robbed the rich because the poor don't have money. And Jayapal is no Maid Marion.

Jayapal: COVID-19 'suffering' gives Democrats 'leverage' in Congress

Senor Wences lookalike Rep. Pramila Jayapal (Dummy-WA) told Vox on Wednesday that the "enormous suffering" that has already killed over 74,000 Americans and millions more across the globe, gives Democrats leverage on legislation addressing the coronavirus.

"When you think about traditional situations of crisis … whoever the ruling party is in the White House, that individual has this enormous opportunity to bring people together because that's what people want in a crisis," Jayapal callously said to the leftist outlet.

"None of that has happened…. For me, the leverage is that there is enormous suffering, and if we do not respond with the boldness and the scale that this crisis demands, then that suffering will continue."

Jayapal faced criticism from conservatives in April when she coldly warned Democrats that they were "giving away leverage" if they passed a clean bill replenishing the Paycheck Protection Program, which provides forgivable loans to small businesses reeling from the pandemic. A so-called clean bill is one in which extraneous garbage is kept out and only relevant legislation is written into it. Thus, there is no pork in the bill that tends to hold passage up.

So Democrats, in the spirit of caring less for those they represent and more for future votes, liberal policies and special interests, held up funding for weeks before they agreed to a $484 billion bill that also included additional aid for hospitals and testing.

Jayapal, who never had a thought to call her own, echoed previous calls from Democrats, including California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC), to see the deadly disease as an opportunity to push their own agendas rather than expeditiously deal with the pandemic.

Jayapal defended her earlier reference to leverage, calling the Republican response to the pandemic insufficient.

"How do we respond to the scale of the suffering? If we are just responding to one piece of it, but we are giving away the thing that Republicans are sort of hanging their hat on, then what brings them back to the table for negotiation?" she asked. "I think it’s important for us to not allow ourselves to be pulled into a place where we don’t define the agenda, given that we are the ones that seem to be put in the position of really defining what the solution is going to land on."

The only agenda should be that of helping the nation deal with the COVID-19 coronavirus. Giving help to first responders, manufacturing masks and PPEs, aiding hospitals, and developing testing and a vaccine as well as financially helping those whose jobs were put aside for now by the government. They owe that to the people. Not a handout to the Kennedy Center where Nancy "Hands-a-Dancing" Pelosi is on the board.

More than 74,000 Americans have died, and 33 million people have lost their jobs in the past two months. This should not be seen as a damn opportunity.
