JUST WOW!!
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee is doing her part to make her Democratic Party the reigning Party of Peace and Love and Tolerance (and The Science™!). In a recent phone call to her staffer, she let the young man know just how loving and peaceful she is. Here's what she had to say when the staffer presumably told her that he would have to ask another staffer about the date of an upcoming event.

"I don't want you to do a g********* thing. I want you to have a f****** brain, I want you to have read it, I want you to say, 'Congresswoman it was such-and-such date.' That's what I want. That's the kind of staff that I want to have. So if some stupid other m*********** did it, and I don't have the information, nobody sent me the information, I need to ensure my schedule and if Boo-Boo did it, S*** A** did it, F******* did it, and nobody knows a g******** thing in my office, k? Nothing. I gave it to you. Your job was to get it on the calendar, imprint it in your brain, or send me the information back saying, 'Congresswoman, I made sure that the Ovide Duncantell event that you gave me for so-and-so- date at 7 is on the f****** calendar.' Not to, 'Oh, Jerome has it,' okay? So when I called Jerome, he only sit up there like a fat a**, stupid idiot, talking about what the f*** he doesn't know. Okay? Both of y'all are f******, are f****** a*******. It's the worst s*** I could've ever have put together. Two g******** big-a** children. F****** idiots. Serve no g******** purpose. Ain't managing nobody, nobody's respecting them, nobody gives a s*** about what you doing. And you ain't doing s***. And this is an example of it. I gave it to Jerome. This is not child's work. Okay?"

Do you feel the love and peace and tolerance? I sure do!

Wow. Tolerance on parade..........................
I have my usual question: Who voted for her?
Obviously those on the liberal left that are like minded.
I would like to know if the staffer stayed on the call for the whole tirade like a good little Dem sheep or had the guts to tell her to fuck off half way through and quit on the spot.
I would have and I did at one job for much less than what she did.
The house’s klubacher
Um, yawn?
Wow, what a gutter-mouth! Does she kiss her husband and children with that filthy mouth? Just out of curiosity, I looked up more about her. In addition to her stating that US astronauts landed on Mars and that the US Constitution is 400 years old ...
Presidential election objections
In 2001, Jackson Lee and other House members objected to counting Florida's electoral votes, which George W. Bush narrowly won after a contentious recount in the 2000 presidential election . Because no senator joined the objection, it was dismissed by Senate President Al Gore . [54]
In 2005, Jackson Lee was one of the 31 House Democrats who voted not to count Ohio's electoral votes in the 2004 presidential election . [55] [56] Without Ohio's electoral votes, the election would have been decided by the U.S. House of Representatives, with each state having one vote in accordance with the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution .
During the 2017 United States Electoral College vote count , Jackson Lee objected to counting North Carolina's, South Carolina's and Wyoming's electoral votes in the 2016 presidential election . [57] Because no senator joined her objections, they were dismissed. [58]
Hurricane naming
In 2003, Jackson Lee complained that storm names were too white. "All racial groups should be represented", she said, and asked officials to "try to be inclusive of African-American names." [59]
Confederate flag
On July 9, 2015, Jackson Lee and others who were engaged in a debate over the Confederate battle flag produced an erroneous reproduction of the original flag. The original battle flag contained 13 stars representing each state of the Confederacy as of 1861. The flag that Jackson Lee presented to members of Congress contained 17 stars. [62]
Staff turnover
In 1998, The Houston Press reported that five of Jackson Lee's staffers had quit that spring: "According to Lee's former Capitol office executive assistant and events scheduler Rhiannon Burruss, the congresswoman's abrasive ways not only drove off staff members but irritated Continental Airlines staffers to the point where one suggested she fly on a competitor instead." [63] [64]
In 2011, Jackson Lee was reported to have one of the highest staff turnover rates in Congress. The Huffington Post and Houston Chronicle reported that she had gone through 11 chiefs of staff in 11 years. [65] [66] A 2013 report concluded that "the veteran Texas Democrat had the highest turnover rate for all of Congress over the past decade." [67] She again topped the 2017 edition of the biennial Washingtonian survey [68] and 2018 turnover statistics. [69]
(most Wiki citations are from left-wing sources, btw)
1. I believe Lee is retiring after this term. Maybe she has anger issues.
2. I think she'd make a good running mate for [READ AND FOLLOW RED BOX RULES]
3. There is probably a lot more of this in Congress than people think.
Since at least 2001. Please see comment 6 .
I think that she is running to be Houston's mayor.
And you are correct...................
Read the red box rules John - "No Trump".
But, ya just couldn't resist could ya?
"But, ya just couldn't resist could ya?
When it comes to Trump, he never can. 😏
Seeing as how Trump is off topic by red box rules above, do try to stay on topic if you can.
Who the hell let this comment stand? The RBR were quite clear. SMMFH
Seems like a case of Red Box Rules for thee but not for me.

Yes and now it says "flagging unavailable"
She routinely makes the “meanest” employer on Capitol Hill as voted on by Congressional staffers and she is found on Washingtonian Magazine’s “Best and Worst of Congress” lists. She has one of the highest staff turnover rates because she abuses her employees.
Work place harassment from the boss from hell.
She is one of the more absent Representatives missing many House votes, probably because her fat, fucked up staff failed to get it on her calendar.
Maybe her nastiness is caused by carrying 5 pounds of braids on her head for decades?
I have a dream that one day I'll hear a weatherman announce, "Hurricane LaTeisha be heading for Houston and the bitch be a Category Four.
LOL Clever humor.
If you say so.
I find this sort of "humor" offensive. Blacks find some of the names whites carry for themselves comical too, but we don't make stupid remarks in public about it! As for playing the "ebonics" —card, I hope MAGA got it's 'rocks' off hitting "Post Your Comment" simultaneously. At the least, something good would come of it.
Actually there have been many black comedians who mock the way whites talk and act.
Eddie Murphy. Richard Pryor. Godfrey Cambridge.
Liberals on these pages like to mock red neck speech.
Sorry that you were offended.
Have you ever mocked Appalachian dialect here?
Of course, comedians sport around a professional "license" to offend and we consider them part of the "relief" entertainment fabric and when necessary we push-back on even them, individually and collectively. MAGA conservatives don't have a license of any kind to mock the names of Black women or their possible way of speaking.
Now then, "ebonics" - I will speak up and out against that shit everyday-all day! And, at the same time I will defend a southern white's right to traditional Cracker culture (from Celtic culture) to traditional redneck culture.
There is a time and place for humor and comment 9 did not go to that place of light-hearted banter.
It was meant as a slight and it felt like a slight!
I don’t think that term is any longer in use. Those woke replaced it with African American Vernacular English.
No. But as you 'shadow' my comments for the longest of time you have my 'profile'. . .and you should be telling me about it or not. Like many of us, we all have our instances where we laugh as something 'funny' or 'quirky' or even 'foul' that comes out of other cultures and expressions but by a large majority - black people do not talk in "ebonics" -broken English. That is a myth.
You've always got something just off-kilter to add. How about adding a point to enhance or counter what is already written? Moreover, if you don't usually speak in broken English why did you think it appropriate to try it here and now?
I think that could be fairly described as racial antagonizing.
I agree.
Huh?
I wrote nothing of the kind.
Okay, there is your partial comment at 9. Care to explain how it should have been received by a reader? Please proceed. . . .
Yes, you did in your own way no doubt.
I believe that I’ve written several about Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee here.
There have long been allegations that Jackson Lee treats her staff poorly and has a very high turnover rate as a result. In 2019, it was reported that a former member of her staff filed a lawsuit that claimed Jackson Lee and her office mishandled a report of sexual assault. She has a high missed vote rate and she accuses her Mayoral competitor of leaking this recording. I think that it was more likely leaked by a staffer that she shit on.
I found her complaint about not using Black names for hurricanes humorous, Do you want a deadly hurricane named after you?
Only if you can write the name "CB" without the snark or negative racial overtone.
From comment 6:
Hurricane Naming
In 2003, Jackson Lee complained that storm names were too white. "All racial groups should be represented", she said, and asked officials to "try to be inclusive of African-American names."
Certainly, the well spoken Congresswoman complained about the lack of hurricanes being named with African American names, so I used one. Any one who has been in a Cat 3 or 4 hurricane knows it’s a bitch.
And that some comments are full of shit.
You’ve never referred to people as gomers here or mispronounced merika, have you John?
I don’t believe that I have ever done either with your name, CB.
True dat.
And, how about with black women; do you use snark or negative racial overtones with them?
We’ve both been here long enough to see my snark applied to all.
So you do apply snark to me ("all" - is Inclusive). Okay, now that-that is settled. . .let's move on. . . .
Do you use negative racial overtones against black girls and women?
Not sure why you consider snark applied to all as negative racial overtones against black girls and woman. What about all didn’t you understand?
Now in 9.2.3 I asked you if you “Have you ever mocked Appalachian dialect here”? Are you going to continue avoiding the answer?
My answer was, "No. . . . . "
Of course you were probably looking for some snark to push-back with and missed the curt answer: "No." It was to your question as the rest of the context attests.
Now back to my question:
Your reply right there? Definitely is not an answer to my question! Are you going to continue to avoid giving me an answer? Just saying. . . .
Yet some consider that clever. I don't get that.
Most all of them, you are correct.
Goobers/rednecks of the magat persuasion earned their mocking.
Only when it comes to Democrats/Liberals/Progressives though with extremely large doses of projection and blaming Democrats/Liberals/Progressives for all the gqp's fuckups and everything else bad in the world.
Yes, some conservatives are full of shit. Just look at the 'newbie' Speaker-Elect of the House: Mike Johnson. The thinnest of resumé for Speaker takes the job from more senior congressional GOPers. MAGA lies a lot and we have the proof of doing so - 'bigly.' Now, when GOP - NT Edition starts their mocking of VP Harris next time we will know its because she is a woman/female that they do so and not because of her inability to qualify and do the job of VP!
Let' figuratively hammer MAGA's ass to the wall with that!
I don't know what you mean or how this applies to my comment 9.2.21
What's a ggp?
Hardly, you freely give away your disdain.
To those who have earned it.
"...who is inept and has accomplished nothing regarding immigration."
Harris has not accomplished anything as VP period.
Probably holds a record for that!
Among my favorites are her sit-down with paid child actors to discuss seeing craters on the moon, Venn Diagrams, and her in-depth knowledge of geography (Russia is a really big country, and Ukraine is a small country).
Well you know the olde saying:
You don't have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows!
(Sorry if I missed the original post but I was in the basement mixing up the medicine....)
Indeed I do.
Look out kid
Don’t matter what you did
Harris, klobuchar, fallon, degeneres, clinton, lee. Anybody else see a pattern here?
Yes! Everyone of those names has two or more vowels!
No because like the author, you are picking one Democrat and lumping them all in the same boat as Jackson Lee and what are the others guilty of other than projection from MAGAts?
Nothing "Wow" about it. We all get angry and 99.99 percent of the time when we do - we curse. Including using "God-damn" alot. I have been compelled to do so in my comments on NT.. Why? Because people, and apparently smooth-talking congresspeople too, can be pushed to a breaking point. And so they let it 'rip' - come what may from it.
Ms. Lee has no excuse for going off "on the record" against a staffer. Particularly, since she is looking for a job that weighs heavily on her personality. She did it. Now she will have to deal with it. I guess, just own it. It's her "Lauren Boebert moment at BeattleJuice" and so she will have to deal with it-or just tell everybody to get over it.
Of course, Republicans won't get over it. And they should give her hell for it. Go for it!
As far as it being what others do, that's bullshit. You caught Ms. Lee making an ass out of her staff people who must have let her down in some distressing way. You don't get to broad-brush liberals for that. Unless conservatives, you all are desperate. Are you—desperate?
This isn't her first rodeo, so it's time to stop making excuses for this vulgar, deplorable woman. She has a long history of abusing her staff and other people. See comment 6 .
I will not defend her bad conduct or cursing mouth to any great length. It is what it is. She needs to do better and that goes without saying. But, her doing better is not WHY conservatives are mocking her now, is it? That is, whatever good she may have done in congress up to this point is not mentioned to balance the negativity that gets wide dissemination. My advice to Ms. Lee is watch her words! She knows good and damn well she has critics who are looking to cause her downfall with every passing moment of the day!
So WHY, in your opinion, are those nasty conservatives suddenly mocking her in 2023 when she has a decades-long history of abuse, racism, and vulgarity? Everyone who's paid attention to her actions and words knows what she is.
And what is SHE?
An abusive boss and a Congresswoman who misses more House votes than most.
But this is about her cursing, not to ping her voting record, eh? Focus.
Please list those good things, CB.
Why? Do you want to applaud her? I don't keep up with Ms. Lee. I only chime in on her account when it seems some here find it sporting to put down a woman of color as a form of color commentary.
Clearly, she has positively accomplished something because she is still being elected. And now running for Houston mayor!
You asked what she is and I tried to answer.
For Jasper? Sorry, but you came in with something Jasper did not and it threw off the points being discussed!
I want all of us to be aware of her good work.
Do you want politicians of color immune from sport commentary here?
Exactly, just like MAGA representatives, right?
I apologize for throwing you off.
Why do you defend her? Why were not the men of the Me Too movement given the chance to balance the negative? They lost their jobs, standing in the community over for many decades old accusations, of whom some I question whether they were actually guilty of said accusations.
Representative Lee is on an audio recording abusing an individual that works for her, she should be help to a higher standard, There are far too many crazies running this nation on both sides of the aisle .. her level of verbal abuse is no different than making undesired sexual advances on someone in the workplace. It is every bit as degrading / demoralizing.
Just my half cents worth... I will say no more on the subject ..!
Peace
Actually, that is what I wrote in its proper context/setting. I even start off by 'announcing' I will not defend her bad conduct or cursing mouth.
Me Too movement. . . I didn't have anything to do with it-besides watching from the sidelines. Don't know what Me Too has to do with Ms. Lee.
As to the recording, Ms. Lee should have known better. But, I will give her forgiven this once. Once mind you as we all have our days, yes or no? But, do it again (future tense not past tense) and I will remind myself of this incident (one for which I have listened to actual audio of her delivering the statements.)
As stated in the quote above and I repeat:
Oh, dear ... that ugly race card ploy again! And why would her race be the only reason for you comment about her?
Some people repeatedly vote party line no matter who the candidate is. I've heard that they're known as low-info voters.
By the way, you didn't answer the questions I asked in comment 11.1.4 .
From what I understand, "SHE" is Sheila Jackson Lee, a member of the US House of Representatives. It's all in the article.
What about answering comment 11.1.4 questions?
It's sad that political and racial double standards still control some people's views. In the 21st century, we should all be better than that.
[✘]
One question, singular. This silly GAME conservatives play around EVERY question needing to have a 'detail' answer is senseless. Answers take many forms in the aggregate—directly and indirectly.
MY ANSWER!
As for the "decades long history of abuse, racism, and vulgarity. . . " assertion - it may be something real or imagined in the minds of conservatives (alone) . I don't know and I ain't taking an interest in spending time searching it out.
I am addressing the news of 'today' where she curses out a staff-member and that incident alone . And, going forward. It's the one I am pretty sure about as I heard the 'tape' will my own ears. Because, well, . . . MAGA lies about a great many things where liberals are concerned. Therefore, I simply take such statements with the proverbial grain of salt!
11.1.23
Virtue signaling? I though MAGA hated that 'stuff'?!! In fact, I am pretty sure MAGA does hate virtue signaling. . .so, for consistency sake just don't try using it to suit jaded purposes.
Harass someone else with that MAGA label. It doesn't work with me or apply to me. Epic fail, CB.
[Further Trolling]
What does that term mean to you?
Another 'round' of useless questioning. . . . If you don't know what virtue signaling means (to conservatives) ask your fellow conservatives (like Jasper)! You wouldn't believe me anyway.
and 11.1.29 Drinker of the Wry
Thanks, but I have no interest in trying to intelligently discuss the seeded topic with anyone who needlessly bullies/harasses members and alters the topic.
See comment 11.1.30 for evidence of continual harassment.
[deleted]
Jasper, epic fail, my foot! But, let's move on. Virtue signaling, eh? Yes! Your party was against it-until they are for it!
Virtue signaling, yes, the act of publicly expressing opinions in order to demonstrate that you are a good person.
Politicians across the spectrum have been doing this since time immemorial.
There is nothing wrong with virtue, but MAGA likes to discount it until it suits its purposes! But, thank you for answering. Virtue signaling, I accept your definition.
You clearly have mistaken me for someone else, because I am not registered with any political party. Kindly leave me alone, and stop harassing me.
That's right. Broad brushing is something only liberals can do and they do it frequently.
Irony.
Interesting comment.
Why do you think that is?
Your comment has a simplex case of snark!
Yes but remember-- all barn painters are not liberals!
Wow! That comment is wrong in so many ways. That poor woman was let down, so it gives her the right to tear another person apart ..? An adult and elected official of the United States Congress could have just said 'You fuck'd up .. do not let it happen again!' and been done with it, period!
Toxic work environments are no joke, I have lived them and found the door myself rather take it - but not all people have the self-confidence and self-worth to leave. I watched a program last night called "Navajo Police Class 57 .. the training officers could not understand why so many students kept walking out of the Navajo Police Academy .. it is an eye-opening well-done docuseries about the police of the Navajo Nation and what it takes to become an officer. Those cadets took a brutal verbal beating from jump ..
Verbal abuse is still abuse; it does not have to be a spouse beating one down!
Peace
Amen!
I haven't seen the movie yet but I've read the book.
Broad-brush, who might do that?
House painters?
Maybe barn painters.
Somebody seems to have a god complex.
Many of you know how much I love the movies. However, I don't know how even Spielberg could produce a movie that could depict what's been happening in America - the lawmakers, the SCOTUS, the administration, the polarization, the divisiveness - what a fucking mess.
Well-- look on the bright side-- its only gonna get worse!

In a nutshell, to sum it all up: The MAGA crowd is attempting to takeover the government system and governmental infrastructure from top to bottom, and federal and state. As congress is indicative of-you can crowd a whole lot of republicans and conservatives in seats of power. . . and they still can't 'cook'! They're all wearing (red) chef hats and still not a one of them is fit to make the nation a proper 'dinner'!
MAGA conservatives hate liberals and the democratic party so much that they pass through the other side 'loving' democrats and liberals out of a need to fix their self-loathing of themselves.
Yes. MAGA conservatives are getting a whiff of what it is to have their own FUNK come back to them in triplicate!
Buzz, I don't know if you have viewed: DJANGO UNCHAINED. Just let me say the director for this job? Quentin Tarantino.
DJANGO UNCHAINED - Official International Trailer
Just watched the trailer on IMDb - never saw the movie.
"In a nutshell, to sum it all up:"
Just two letters for that: BS.
Nice rant. I must admit I only got through half of it because it seems to be nothing you have not said a hundred times before. Reminds me of a record that skips and keeps playing the same thing over and over again.
And you wrote that to signify what?! FINALLY. . . the House GOP got its collective. . .self. . . together and now it can possibly get something done on behalf of all the people—not just MAGA. Other than that, your critic of me is superfluous, because today I am not dealing with or bothered by a petty ad hominem 'attack.' You don't have to internalize anything I write. . . and still it will be true all the same!
Rant part 2
Other than a few historical inaccuracies, not a bad movie.
My point being: Quentin Tarantino's movies are very dramatic and flamboyant.
Yes they are, Spike Lee wouldn’t watch it however.
Whatever floats your boat to shore.
You don't have to internalize anything I write. . . and still it will be true all the same!
