Fucking dictatorship-lite, please make Trump and the GOP pay next election, big time.
What a sad state of affairs. How could anyone look at everything that we KNOW for a FACT and still try and defend it
Because people want a strong dictator to lead us out of the fryer and into the frying pan.
this hakeem jeffries is fucking dismantling the republican members, i cannot wait to see how they respond to this. he's highlighted everyone involved oversight of the investigation is a republican, so why are they framing it as a politically motivated witch hunt/?
Why are the Republicans lying and then claim the other side is lying. Doesn't fact matter anymore in the US?
Fake News. Alternative Facts. Politically motivated witch hunt.
Yeah no, I guess it doesn't
Gaslighting and projection have been a republican staple for the past several decades now. Winning is the only thing that matters.
No.
You could lay out the video proof of the fact that this is not a "witch hunt" and that republicans have been in charge the whole time to a Republican supporter, and they would say "Fake news" to it.
There is no standard of "Truth" anymore.
Every Republican pulls a show in public hearings. Dems say they act totally different in closed session.
ugh this strawmanning and whataboutism from the republican members is sickening.
That's great Reschenthaler, but stop using this time to advertise your bills. Stay on topic please
Too bad they won’t call out the sergeant at arms to arrest him. It would set a nice precedent without having an impact on upcoming elections, unlike say, impeachment.
Problem is, Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress, and nothing happened to him when he was in contempt.
If the Democrats open up that box, it's literally one more tool for the republicans to bully a future democratic president with, which republican constituents will be happy to see.
Update: They are reconvening and about to get started again.
I keep fucking hearing this, but does it make a fucking difference?
It's a bit like saying "Hitler did all the genocide stuff to appeal to his base, he was a nice guy in private."
I think it makes it worse honestly.
That suggests that they know the theatrics are wrong and counterproductive, but just don't give a shit.
And the fact that supposedly "moderate" or "sensible" Republicans don't call the shitshow out really tells you how far gone they are too.
And that's that. Vote straight down party lines, adopted, and will be sent to the house floor for a vote where it is more or less destined to pass.
By likely the end of the week, Barr will find himself being held in Contempt of Congress.
please tell me the senate can't do anything to stop this from happening, or interfere with this in any way
It can not. This is entirely a house affair.
Something tells me that won't stop them from trying anyway.
Given some of them just don't show up in private, it's significantly worse.
