Another resident called Trump’s spending plan (the so-called “one, big beautiful bill”) the “big bullshit bill” and was chastised by LaMalfa for their language. “Fuck you!” replied several in attendance.

Ok that actually made me laugh

    This a start, a little too late but none the less change takes time and it’s always ugly.

    I can only hope this happens more and more. I wish all these hicks would figure out they are not Washington republicans.

    Ok, enough is enough; what does impeaching fucking do anyways? Didn't he get impeached twice and it made 0 fucking difference?

    2 part process, it's like charges.
    Impeachment is the process of a Congress member drawing up the articles of impeachment (like a cop making an arrest claim). Then Congress votes on whether they seem realistic, needs 50% (A magistrate/state attorney filing charges)

    Then the charges go to the judge/jury for verdict. Which is the Senate. They vote 2/3rds guilty to remove the president. Which did not happen. 57 senators voted guilty, and they needed 67 to remove. (7 of those 57 were Republicans, which is pretty impressive with how often parties fall in line).

    But for sake of metaphor, charges were brought, he was found innocent

    They found him not guilty. As in not enough evidence. Factual innocence is different. As in we have plenty of evidence he is innocent.

  • True, not guilty is more accurate. I was in the mindset of innocent until proven guilty, so used that term. Your wording makes more practical sense though. Just because a jury didn't find Casey Anthony guilty of killing her child doesn't mean she didn't kill the child.

    No, he was never actually impeached. He has to be found guilty by both the house & the senate. In both cases the vote split 1-1.

    Good for him for at least having th balls to face his constituents.

    Now he should have the sack to listen to them and either resign or dedicate himself to fixing the problems he helped create.

    Imagine instead of not being twats, your idea is to just not have town halls cause everyone is so upset. Fucken ostrich politics.

    It doesn't really matter, they'll just say "it's ok folks, they were just Democrats, their opinions don't matter. We all know Lord God Emperor Trump The Magnificent is the Most Loved President™©® ever, he made inflation go to -69% and you all are actually given money when you go shop. We can't hold any more town halls though because Democrats ruin them."

    For those of you who don’t know about Chico California, imagine this republican decided to give a town hall in the parking lot of a Phish concert.

    That county is a swing county with half rednecks and half hippies. And he gave the town hall by the university.

    He chose very VERY poorly.

    This dude is clearly a moron.

    Or maybe he wants to be able to go back to Congress and say, "sorry guys, I can't go on backing the fascist agenda, you're going to wind up with a D in this seat if you don't let me vote No"

    Oh wait, Republican? Yeah, moron.
