What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

Seems nobody wants to talk about Susanna Gibson or the VA Democrats rallying around her. Hypocrisy maybe ?
"Some Democrats in the commonwealth of Virginia are rallying around a House of Delegates candidate who posted videos online that showed her engaging in sexual acts with her husband while soliciting tips."
Top Virginia Democrat defends candidate who streamed sex acts with husband online for 'tips': 'Fight back'
A top Democrat in Virginia is standing by a House of Delegates candidate who posted videos online engaging in sex acts with her husband while soliciting tips.
It’s an important seat. So they want to keep it quiet. CricketsSeems nobody wants to talk about Susanna Gibson or the VA Democrats rallying around her. Hypocrisy maybe ?

More from the article: (bold emphasis mine)
"Gibson responded to the controversy by calling it "an illegal invasion of my privacy designed to humiliate me."
"My political opponents and their Republican allies have proven they’re willing to commit a sex crime to attack me and my family because there’s no line they won’t cross to silence women when they speak up," Gibson told CNN in a statement on Tuesday."
Leave it to liberals to turn reason on it's head. The unwashed masses should understand that pornography for a righteous cause is to be not only embraced, but also rewarded. Their indignation directed towards the Republicans who dare to criticize them is hilarious. Tell me again who the maniacs are?
Yep, they’re even fundraising off her “victimhood .” Again, crickets from the lecturers about hypocrisy.
So basically, it's ok to get fondled by your date and give him a hand job in public as long as he is a Rebumblecan . Gotcha.
Lauren Boebert says she ditched the 'Democrat' filmed fondling her at 'Beetlejuice': 'I learned to check party affiliations before going on a date'
"Honestly, he's a private citizen and we peacefully parted. Great man, great friend and I wish him all the best," Boebert told TMZ.

She is wiling to do whatever she can to support her family, nothing wrong with that. As long as all of the acts were consensual, what is the issue????Seems nobody wants to talk about Susanna Gibson or the VA Democrats rallying around her. Hypocrisy maybe ?

Did you read the article? She's a nurse practitioner. She posted sex videos on a publicly accessible porn website and solicited money "for a good cause". This good cause was her politcal campaign. BTW, a quick Google search reveals that her husband/sex video partner is a lawyer. You can't make this stuff up; it reads like something from the Onion, but it was first reported by the Washington Post.
In addition to the character issues, there's also her compete lack of common sense, good judgement and common decency. Add to that the continuing support from the VA Democrat party for a candidate that's clearly unfit to serve in a public office.
So because she is not trying to hide her sexuality she is a bad person? What about this makes her unfit to serve in office?
Why is the GOP so obsessed with people who accept who and what they are?
That's a good way to put it. Change "her" to "their," and you pretty much sum it up for all of these people -- Hunter and his hooker mom's love child, Boebert's public fondling, Gibson's open-marriage online sex performances; and all the other scandals our public officials or candidates provide time and time again.
These behaviors exist well outside of our social norms and sometimes laws. So when people who seek or hold public office violate the rules, the acts are amplified because the public expects behavior from our public officials that includes what Pilgrim said: common sense, good judgement and common decency.
When news of such scandals breaks, I often find myself wondering, how could they be that stupid? They are in the public eye. They know what the public expects. But they stumble into spots like this time and time again. What where they thinking? Or, what were they not thinking? And whatever they were thinking, how on earth did their own hearts and minds fail them so? I don't know their hearts and minds, so I'll never know the answer. But it still boggles my mind.
The media and the public love to talk about few things more than a hot sex scandal, marriage failure, humiliating arrest, etc. That in itself is hypocritical. How many individual voters are without episodes in their own personal lives that, if they were public officials, would be unwelcome headline news? It seems to me that compassion is the appropriate response when a public official falls into a difficult place, but the dominate response is usually a partisan response where people in the opposing party exploit the person's difficulty for political advantage.
That does not mean public officials should not answer for their crimes, sins and major blunders. They should. But there is room for compassion too as these people suffer through the consequences of their misdeeds.
Additional thought: Fetterman's hoodies and gym shorts in the US Senate. Come on, dude. Show some respect for the institution and the people who elected you. Show some common sense, good judgement and common decency.

A big part of "the problem" is the hypocrisy, especially on the left, as also seen in the usual suspects here, of the beam of Boebert and the mote of Gibson. Is selling pornography online worse than, equal to, or less than inappropriate teenage groping in public in a dark room? Our usual suspects can only criticize one of the two. Typical. Personally I find peddling pornography a greater problem than inappropriate touching through clothing with both being an issue. Leftist hypocrites see it differently. YMMV
The extra touchy activity by Boebert and her boyfriend was done in the dark. The only way that anyone could see what they were doing was by a night vision camera. I don’t see how this incident, while tawdry, “fully discredits her” that she shouldn’t be re-elected.
She has been through a lot, she is not perfect, yeah she will get picked on because of what she did but she is human and she makes mistakes.
The reason she should not be re-elected has nothing to do with this incident.
Fetterman's situation is a little different - he's obviously dealing with medical problems and is not playing with a full deck. But for the Democrat-led Senate to lower their standards to accommodate his mental shortcomings is completely inappropriate and unnecessary. Why can't someone from Schumer's office simply contact one of Fetterman's aids or handlers and tell them to explain to the senator that the dress code is a requirement. If someone needs to help him with his wardrobe and knot his tie, just make it happen. He should show some respect for the institution and the people who elected him. If he can't comprehend this he should be replaced by someone fit to serve.
Democrat Senator Robert Menendez indicted AGAIN on charges of bribery and corruption. It's hard to believe this guy was chairman of the Foreign Relations committee, especially after barely surviving his first bribery indictment. Will NJ Democrats force him out of office?

Weaponization !!!
Oh ... wait ...
Republicans don't seem to notice that DOJ just indicted the chairman of a US Senate committee, not long after they also indicted the president's son.
When a Republican is indicted, Republicans scream the DOJ is corrupt. When a Democrat is indicted, silence.
What's Going on in the US House of Representatives Now?
Per the New York Post:
"House Republicans] have a majority of just five votes, but hold the whip hand at a time when Democrats’ policies on the economy, inflation, crime and immigration are wildly unpopular.
"But instead of seizing the moment, the House GOP is engaged in a circular firing squad, determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
"Their inability to unite around a basic obligation — passing a budget — makes it look as if they are unable to govern."
I do not expect a government shutdown. I expect rational Republicans will join with Democrats at the last moment to pass a budget bill. But whether that happens or not, it's not a good look for Republicans as voters think ahead to the 2024 elections. I believe these antics, Republican anti-democracy impulses, and the abortion-rights issue will result in the Republicans losing the House in 2024.
