ā€œThat compromise wasnā€™t enough for Schiff, who sent a May 16 letter threatening ā€˜action to enforceā€™ the subpoena.ā€

Barr: ā€œDoes this orange jumpsuit make my ass look fat?ā€

Blackmail is now an officially-sanctioned response between two of the branches of government. Got it.

Pelosi, if youā€™re listening, this is exhibit 837 on the list of reasons why status-quo is no longer acceptable.

Have the House Intelligence Committee find William Barr in Contempt of Congress if what the committee asked for is not met. Enough is enough, only the very guilty would put up such a fight to keep things secret.

Can we make good on these threats and start fining the fuck out of people and locking their asses up before we move to impeachment? Thatā€™s what Iā€™d like to see first.

Please re-size the turd image (click edit, make the two numbers at the end of the image smaller in proportion to one another) so that weā€™re not seeing this in quite so cinematic a view. Thanks!

ETA: Ahhhhhhhhhā€¦ Much better!

Knowing the Trump administration as we do, from the headline saying ā€œward offā€ I halfway expected them to try to use virgin sacrifice and cloves of garlic.

before he makes good on his ā€œenforcementā€ threat.

Is ā€˜Contempt of Congressā€™ his only enforcement at this time? What about those fines and imprisonment battered about? Nail him Adam. Throw Mnuchin into the vat also.

[OT- The Quinnpiac 38%/ 57% trump approve/disapprove poll that Josh has on the sidebar was rated very high on 538 (A-, weight 1.65) for adjusted 40%/56%, so Trump numbers have not moved much at 538]

I wish one or the other of these legislators would get really specific and detailed instead of saying ā€œenforcement,ā€ which is all too nebulous. Make it feel real to the non-wonk contingent, people.
