    “I could care less”

    Well that means she does care a little bit at least.

        Meaning dumbass MTG is a dumbass.

        But seriously, we’ve got to get people like her and Bobo the Clown out of office. It’s a tragedy that they ever got in. Gatty Matty is also terrible, as is Cruise Controller, but the absolute idiocy of these Empty G and Bobe is stunning. Then again, I guess the pan taught me how large the portion of absolute morons we have in the population. It makes me sad.

        It basically means they care, albeit a little bit but it’s more than not at all. Frankly, I couldn’t care less.

        if there’s an inflection with appropriate stress, it’s a fairly sarcastic play on the phrase. “I could care less” says that they can care a little, but refuse to do so.

        however, the way it’s used here doesn’t generally reflect that. and, if it isn’t used in response to direct question about level of care, then it is fully toothless as a phrase.

        to be clear, you’re right; I’m just playing devil’s advocate about how that wording was intended to be used. when it’s overused without context, it’s a pointless play on words, and generally annoying to see written or spoken.

          I heard it as, “I could care less, but I’d have to try.” As in, it’s not worth the effort to care less about the topic.

            But, even in that use case they admit they could care less, and caring less not being worth the effort makes no logical sense as doing nothing (not caring) takes less effort than doing something (caring a little bit).

              The nonsensical nature is the point. Like saying someone’s last two brain cells are fighting over 3rd place.

    She’s a methhead and child groomer who exchanges sexual acts for house votes; not sure why this is taking so long to do anything but I guess these are the family values Americans crave.

    It seems censuring doesn’t actually do anything

    A vote to censure another member of Congress does not hold any other power beyond a public condemning of that member’s behavior. It does not expel a member from Congress or deny the rights or privileges of that member within Congress.

    The Senate website says a censure can have a “powerful psychological effect” on the member and can subsequently threaten the relationships they have with their colleagues. The House website notes that a censure makes the House’s “deep disapproval” of a member publicly known but does not warrant an expulsion.

    Yeah, I don’t think it’s going to have much “psychological effect” on her. Should just vote to expel her.

      Yeah if she is able to do the morally reprehensible things she’s done in the past already, this will do specifically nothing.

      If morals won’t hold her, an authorative side glance will do jack shit.

    What a waste of time article. Dems don’t control the house, this will go nowhere. This is as stupid as reporting on bills that everyone knows won’t even make it to the floor.

    It’s feel-good fluff that won’t make any changes.
