    Jamaal Bowman, the Democrat house member who pulled the fire alarm in the Cannon House office building, has been censured by Congress, according to news reports.

    I read 2 articles about it already, but there's something that is still not clear to me: Does this mean that he's kicked out of congress?

    No, it's just a "mark on his permanent record". A slap on the wrist at most.

    Not nearly what he should have gotten for committing insurrection compared to the people who just strolled through the Capitol on Jan. 6 with the blessing of the security.

    That sucks. I'm sure that if he were an employee at a school, and he did that, then he'd be fired.

    If he wasn't a Democrat, he'd be punished more. But he's a good worker-bee for the Elitists, so they can't get rid of him.



    ... You are confused; but this is your normal state.
