Freshman Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is not apologizing for profane comments she made Thursday about impeaching President Donald Trump.

Tlaib, who was sworn in as Michigan's representative from the 13th Congressional District on Thursday, was speaking at an event for progressive advocacy group MoveOn.org when she relayed a conversation with her son to the crowd: "And when your son looks at you and says, 'Momma, look you won, bullies don’t win,' and I said, 'Baby they don't,' because we’re gonna go in and impeach the motherf-----."

It would seem both parties are quite adept at it.

But as soon as someone else says out loud what people are thinking, it's awful, horrible, unacceptable, uncongresscritterlike.

Freakin' hypocrites.

Yes, yes yes.

Overton window - if the Dems continue to be 'rational' and stick to being 'grown ups' and only push for the middle ground, the conversation will continue drifting farther and farther to the Trumpublican side. We need the Bernies and others on the far left to continue to say things to push the conversation back so that the middle ground and normal liberal statements sound reasonable...
