The counter proposal against insurrectionists is fun.

But the better move would be to lean hard into Gaetz's dipsh*t idea and demand that the committee stop and recite the pledge every three minutes.

They DO realize that the original Pledge was written by a socialist and popularized to sell magazines, right?

They should also sing that "I want to buy the world a Coke" song...

He skimmed and only mentioned the important amendments. Namely the 2nd amendment and whichever amendment guarantees every citizen the right to cheap gasoline.

To Captain Black, every officer who supported his Glorious Loyalty Oath Crusade was a competitor, and he planned and plotted twenty-four hours a day to keep one step ahead. He would stand second to none in his devotion to country. When other officers had followed his urging and introduced loyalty oaths of their own, he went them one better by making every son of a biatch who came to his intelligence tent sign two loyalty oaths, then three, then four; then he introduced the pledge of allegiance, and after that 'The Star-Spangled Banner,' one chorus, two choruses, three choruses, four choruses. Each time Captain Black forged ahead of his competitors, he swung upon them scornfully for their failure to follow his example. Each time they followed his example, he retreated with concern and racked his brain for some new stratagem that would enable him to turn upon them scornfully again.

Given their vitriolic response to regulations, I'm not sure they even skimmed the 2nd.

Gaetz shot back, claiming that Cicilline's proposal would disqualify several Democrats from saying the Pledge of Allegiance since they had objected to results in previous elections.

That boy needs a dictionary and not-a-pocket constitution. Preferably audio. I'm not sure he can read.

Duh. Of course you need a pledge of allegiance, but change it up! No reason to stick to the old one. Here's a suggestion:

I swear by God this sacred oath, that I will render unconditional obedience to Donald Trump, the Führer of the American Reich and people, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, and will be ready as a brave soldier to risk my life at any time for this oath.

I have felt great patriotism at fireworks shows, concerts, speeches or during a good version of the national anthem but never, ever when reciting the pledge. It's the faux patriot version of the rosary.

LOL

"If we adopt this amendment, then we will be truthful in representing that stating this pledge is an affirmation of your defense of democracy and the Constitution," Cicilline said. "It's hard to take that claim seriously, if in fact, an individual who in any way supported an insurrection against the government of the United States is allowed to lead the pledge."

That really nails how hypocritical these scumbags are.

I know I'm comitting a faux pas by seriously responding to a nonserious comment, but y'all use algebra all the farking time even if you don't realize it.

They act like all the jingoistic displays are to non-patriots what a cross is to a vampire instead of what it really is; a smokescreen that scoundrels use to hide their true nature.

You would think the Republicans would learn from Santos fiasco that they are really susceptible to being fooled by being fed the superficial trappings that they've been brainwashed into believing is good and right. I guess introspection is still not something they do.

Surprised they aren't switching up the pledge.

I pledge allegiance
To the guns
Of semiautomatic firing
And to the bodies
In which they put holes
One corpse, under sheet
With magazines and ammo for all
