    I think Trump was voted out of office, not "disgraced"

    Yeshua - do you have any ideal where others get the ideal that Biden had something to do Green being voted out.
    Actually, I thought that vote had something to do with the UFO that AOC reported.

    At least you're finally willing to admit that Trump lost the election. That's a positive sign. He was disgraced by the fact that he is the only
    President to be impeached twice.

    Uh you need to get your facts straight. On the first so called impeachment he was acquitted. He will be again.

    In both cases the motivation was purely political. There is no shame or disgrace in that. In fact the shame and disgrace belongs to the dems.

    In fact, it could be considered a badge of honor - knowing that the opposition despised him so much for his stand on issues - that they were willing to do anything to cast -what they thought - was their only way to disgrace Mr. Trump.

    Remember back in the 60's - when hippies and others- would call the LEO's "PIGS"
    Well, what did the LEO's DO- they made it something positive!

    Impeached means being charged not being found guilty.

    All the politicians that support abortion and mislead others into thinking that it is solely a matter of personal choice will be charged with thousands of highest crimes at the judgement when the making political hay will truly be reaped.

    impeachment | Definition, Process, History, & Facts | Britannica

    In December 2019 Donald Trump became the third U.S. president to be impeached. The House of Representatives charged him with obstruction of Congress and abuse of power in his dealings with the Ukrainian government, in which Trump and people acting on his behalf allegedly pressured Ukraine to investigate former U.S. vice president Joe Biden in return for foreign aid. Trump was acquitted in the Senate, which voted not guilty on both the obstruction of Congress charge (53–47) and the abuse of power charge (52–48). In January 2021 Trump was impeached again, on a charge of incitement of insurrection after a violent mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol, interrupting a joint session of Congress at which electoral votes from the 2020 presidential election, which Trump lost, were being ceremonially counted. Trump thereby became the first U.S. president to be impeached twice.

    The House has the authority do kick a member out.
    But when it comes to assigning committee members - that should be left up to the Party Caucus.

    So this is the real question - Why didn't the Dem control congress vote to expel Green?

    From post #1 "Another win in the war against the culture of misinformation"
    Here now coming Biden's Ministry of Truth.
    The "truth" is all we will have Left.
    Doesn't what happened to Rep. Greene tie in with that?

    There was no precedent for their removing her from committees, so why would any Reps side with Dems on that? The Reps have major problems within--too many RINOs.

    From this link:
    House votes to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from committee assignments

    The final vote tally was 230-199 and 11 Republicans voted in support of the resolution:

    One Republican Rep is from Syracuse, NY and his district is evenly split - probably won because he is an incumbent - but voting against Trump will probably help him win in 2024. In addition in 2016, he announced he was not voting for Trump

    That article seems to answer your previous question.

    Some Democrats have introduced measures to censure Greene on the House floor, and even expel her from the chamber, which would be an extraordinary step that would require the support of roughly 70 House Republicans.​
