Sessions: Trump business can do this every day. I have given them 1 hour limit to promote their business in WH. Automatic Impeachment if he exceeds 24 hour/day limit.

Well, good for Elijah Cummings for making the gesture, but he must surely know that Chaffetz ain’t going to do shit. However, he will have to respond and refuse point blank, so that will actually be useful down the road.

Trump supporters still out of work, but at lest Ivanka’s getting paid.

Just go ahead and start the White House Shopping Network already.

We know for 100% sure Chaffetz won’t do anything about this. But, it is still very important to call out and expose that vile, horrible, despicable scumbag at every chance we get. And with PeePee in the Oval Office we will have a LOT of such chances.

“Cummings said that Conway’s comments appear to be a ‘textbook violation’ of ethics laws.”

Newly sworn-in Education Secretary Betsy DeClueless reacted by immediately banning the textbook.

Chaffetz will earnestly say that he’s giving that suggestion all that consideration it’s due.

Chaffetz will investigate Trump after he is done looking at all the bytes on Hillary’s private server. It may take decades. Small govt has limited funds and must prioritize those wisely.

And I’m suddenly reminded about all those up in arms over e-mails, speeches, and…wait for it…BENGHAZI! Those were the days.

The ranking D’s on all committees need to get possible violations of Trump admin on the record, as well as the GOP response. I expect nothing less.

The pile should be substantial by midyear.

That is an excellent letter he wrote.

Chaffetz has already gotten his marching orders from dumpster fire. And like a good little brown shirt, he’ll follow orders and ignore this.

Is Rep. Cummings hand gesture a mockery of Drumpf’s pinched-together thumb and forefinger?

“Over the line, dude! Smokey, you’re about to enter a world of hurt!!”

While I fully expect nothing to come of this, I am glad Cummings is calling Kelly’s actions out.
At some point Republicans can’t keep covering eyes and ears over what’s going on oin the White Hou$e.

Oh, Christ. I hadn’t heard about this yet. Republicans want to get rid of the Dept. of Ed (why am I surprised)

The bill – House Resolution 899 – was sponsored by U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Kentucky. It is one sentence long: “The Department of Education shall terminate on December 31, 2018.”

Though the timing of the bill’s introduction on Tuesday, Feb. 7, might appear to be an attack on DeVos, its sponsors explain the legislation is a response to a much bigger issue.

In a statement from Communications Director Corie Whalen, Amash’s office explains its stance has more to do with giving states and local school districts control over education.

“Our Constitution reserves the power over education to the states, and Rep. Amash has consistently supported putting parents and teachers back in control,” Whalen wrote. “While relatively little federal money for public education comes from Washington, federal bureaucracy and mandates reduce the total amount of resources available to public schools and cannot properly account for the individualized needs of students.”
