As the number of Congress members is reduced at an even rate, one Dem for one Rep., it makes a discharge petition more difficult. And since the Reps control the House floor and the discharge number remains at 218, we need far more Repukes to sign on.

i hate losing swalwell, but that loss occurred when swalwell decided to drug women.
why do repubs get a pass on the sexual stuff?

(5,999 posts)give repubs a pass on everything they do - by spinning it differently, by letting it drop off of the news cycle, and even by not reporting it at all ... and their supporters don't care as long as abortion is illegal, POC are tortured, and they "stick it to the libs." Also, a LOT of people don't actually pay attention to the news (my former housekeeper voted for Trump and told me she doesn't really follow or pay attention to the news) and certainly do not view it critically!

(1,949 posts)While I think Gonzales needed to go too, I'd still be in favor of pushing Swalwell out even if Gonzales stayed. Believe victims, even when it's inconvenient.

Of course, they both, and others, should be out of Congress for such transgressions. But the MSM seems to think that this one for one doesn't affect the balance in the House. As I stated in the OP, it does affect the minority more than the majority.
