They have immunity

It was a question, meant to clarify the assumption your comment was based upon.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
I believe any duly-elected member can swear in the Speaker though.
Not that that helps

That’s a little January 6th-ish

They haven’t yet, so probably not

Only the Speaker of the House is authorized to administer the oath to a member-elect, and unfortunately, he can permissibly stall this by requesting certification of the election.

Are you assuming that farmers are all uneducated?

This article distorts facts. Most farmers are not multi-millionaires. The “wealth” referenced in the cited USDA report includes incredibly expensive farm equipment necessary to do their job. It’s not like family farmers are all living in mansions, driving expensive cars, & asking for gov’t handouts

This exactly. That so many people think the best response is to behave *exactly* like a Trump supporter would makes no sense.

(b) ensure that no Federal Government officer, employee, or agent engages in or facilitates any conduct that would unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen;

. . . Government censorship of speech is intolerable in a free society.

Section 1. Purpose. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution, an amendment essential to the success of our Republic, enshrines the right of the American people to speak freely in the public square without Government interference. . . .

Read the linked article (apnews.com/live/donald-...), then review the Executive Order DJT signed on his first day in office, “RESTORING FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND ENDING FEDERAL CENSORSHIP”

This is The Onion, right?
Right???

Because there’s no way an actual licensed attorney wrote that sycophantic nonsense

Agreed

Thank you for sharing this, although I think on this post, an AI label wasn’t necessary, since it’s so obvious😄

Please. I'm going to need everyone to move on. Stop posting about it, stop liking posts about it, stop reposting about. I'm tired of hearing about, tired of reading about him, tired of seeing shit on TV about him.

#StopTalkingAboutIt
#StopTalkingAboutHim
#LetsMoveOn

Thank you for this.
Entirely too much attention is being focused on the wrong things, and it seems like the loudest voices on both sides are only contributing to the hate our country is now steeped in.

Gah! Why can’t we edit posts!
I left out “see” and I won’t be able to sleep now!

<whisper singing> it’s a small world after all, it’s a small world after all, it’s a small world after all, it’s a small, small world . . .

Not a sheriff’s son. His dad installs countertops.
Always be critical when verifying the credibility of sources, especially when reposting

You should remove this post

You should remove this, as it’s fake

You haven’t seen it reported anywhere because it’s not true.
His father installs countertops.
The sheriff’s dept - who addressed this - has an officer with the same extremely-common last name, and someone jumped to an erroneous conclusion.
Irresponsible repost.

Skol!🤘
