Buh-bye . . .
(PS – Don’t start having conniptions, Fluffy. Baumgardner and Tate are going to be safe just as long as Grantham remains in charge of the Senate’s sensitivity program.)
In this case, it might be appropriate to chant: "Lock Him Up".
This probably won't help his campaign for state treasurer.
. . . unless he runs as a Republican.
He would fit in with the Gross Old Perverts.
ouch…that's gonna leave a mark.
"GOP Minority Leader Patrick Neville pumps the brakes:" because he knows that if the Dimocrats expel of their own, then the pressure increases on the bad-boy GOPers.
Neville pumps brakes because he is a proud member of the Gross Old Perverts.
Extra security was on the House floor?
What the hell was that? Good guys with guns? Hopefully no Broward County deputy sheriffs were called in.
Perhaps former Sheriff Maketa is now moonlighting as security?
El Descamisado?
It sounds so much better in Spanish.
Nutlid hasn't been in here yet screeching about "Due Process?"
Lebsock got his due process. Nutlid can whine about "beta cucks" and other shit his 4chan buddies gripe about.
There are different legal standards that apply. A finding of "more likely than not" is not beyond a reasonable doubt, which is the standard for a criminal conviction. What is the standard for forcing a democratically elected official out of their position? I think it should be higher than "more likely than not."
That should be the same for Democrats or Republicans.
THIS. IS. NOT. A. CRIMINAL. TRIAL. YOU. MORON.
This is not a decision as to whether Lebsock goes to jail. It is a decision as to whether he can continue to excercise power as an elected official. The threshold here is not like a criminal trial because this is not a criminal trial. Are you just pretending to be this stupid, or are you really this stupid?
I'm reminded of what Gerald Ford once said when he introduced a resolution to impeach Justice William Douglas from the U.S. Supreme Court.
"An impeachable offense is whatever the House of Representatives says that it is." (By 1973, of course, he backed off on that.) Same applies for expulsion by the Colorado House.
Burn the witches!
Moddy, seriously? The "more likely than not" standard, a/k/a the preponderance of the evidence standard, is the standard for civil liability in most civil lawsuits. Billions of dollars in judgments rest on that standard and the determination by the fact-finders whether that standard has or has not been met. Do you really think we need criminal standards of proof for holding an elected position against an expulsion effort? Good thing is that it's also a political question that the governing bodies can decide themselves. But you're all about due process for harassing legislators, even though they are all receiving exactly that through the political process. Fact is, you just can't admit that the dems are appropriately trying to remove this guy, while the Gropers Old Party won't lift a finger to do what's right.
Nutteranus again proves that he is the Jar Jar Binks of Colorado Pols.
H/t to CHB
That's an insult to Jar Jar
Depends. If you're talking about recall, the standard is whatever 50% + of voters think it is. If you're talking expulsion from the state legislature, it's whatever 2/3 of the members of the chamber in question think it is.
Damn, you whities are dumb.
In a Title IX investigation, the standard is "more likely than not." It is not "beyond a reasonable doubt," the standard for a criminal case.
In Motoranus' mind, it is a crime to remove the Stache or Handsy Jack Tate from office.
Hmmmm . . .
Ok, then square that with your “foot dragging” charge of just a couple of days ago?
Do you even know which side of the bed your toast is buttered on, Fluffy?
I think the standard is “unfitness” — which Lebsock has demonstrated in spades. He’ll still be free to fondle his neighbors’ wives and children if that makes him (and you) happy.
Or move to Alabama and run for the US Senate as a Republican.
Nutlid "reasoning": If Republicans do it. Good. If Democrats do it. Bad.
Fortunately for our Fluffy, being criminally stupid isn’t a crime . . .
The foot dragging is more likely to be a function of which party Lebsock is in.
If he gets expelled as a D- new D.
If instead he switches, well – not need to expel him
"Literally, I'm being thrown under the bus."
I don't think so. What a drama queen!
When they say that English is a living language, what they mean is that stupid people (see, e.g., Lebsock) abuse a word so thoroughly and repeatedly that the misuse becomes accepted. "Literally" is well on its way to meaning "really really super bigly."
That reminds me of the time Sarah Palin coined the new word "refudiate."
There’s now a sexual harasser’s bus??? WTF? . . .
(. . . Caldara could be right about RTD? . . .)
. . . I suppose it’s some weird, garish color scheme with a “cute” name like “BustHer” or “Poontang”???
Lebsock is clueless. He should hang it up, go home and spend some quality time with Fluffy. I mean his little white, Foo-Foo dog, not Moderatus.
If only that were literally true
