The nerve of Nadler! Do these Democrats think Congress is an equal branch of government or something?
Eminently reasonable and brooking no nonsense.
Note to the GOP: This is what actual governance looks like.
Give Matt a break âŚ.
He hasnât figured out how to attach a sweat catchment while
simultaneously making it unobtrusive so as not to
be a distraction âŚ.
I donât think slapping on a biker bandana will fly â
And the Supreme Court will rule in the Administrationâs favor, 5-4, while applying a note that this ruling should not be seen as precedent-setting for future AdministrationsâŚ
Wow.
Serious oversight.
Refreshing ⌠and imperative.
Note back from GOP: Since when have we actually cared?
This process concerning Whitakerâs refusal to recuse is worth the fight. Iâm thinking that Barr might be advised to recuse himself and wonât because Whitaker got away with it.
Someone recently referred to Whitaker as âsweaty Mr. Cleanâ. I keep trying but I honestly cannot top that one.
PROPS!
maybe he can glue on some hair as a âsweat catchmentâ - a la Stephen Miller.
faux-POTUS declares an emergency during SOTU; Big Dick Toilet sales guy sez he canât show up due to crisis at the border.
I mean, these kids wonât voluntarily separate from their parents so someoneâs got to step up, amirite???
Well⌠I hope that the first question that they ask Whitaker is âHave you signed any kind of Non-Disclosure Agreement that covers your conversations with the President, his family or anyone in the administration?â If the answer is âYesâ then ask: âAnd what is the potential penalty to you personally if you say something that would be objectionable under this NDA?â And then⌠serve him with the subpoena and explain that now he is covered⌠anything he says is now âcompelledâ and trumps the NDA.
Not that anyone here is saying it isnât, but this process is worth it solely to pin down the administration over executive privilege. Itâs been sickening to watch officials resort to this âwell, the president might want to invoke privilege hereâ dodge as if Congress was the body that had to make a positive claim. And twice as sickening to see Republicans roll over when it happened.
And, frankly, about one tenth as sickening (but still stomach-churning) that, to my knowledge, no Democrat has raised holy hell about it until now. Granted I donât know what they could have done otherwise, but if I were a Democrat in the House or Senate I would have gone into one of these hearings loaded for bear on this subject.
Heâs a boychick from New York. Thatâs how they roll.
Loaded for bear looks likes Gym Jordan, or in the old days Trey Gowdy, which frankly looks disgusting.
what a hoot itâd be if he showed up with an â orange wave â âŚâŚ
[and thatâs NOT a soda pop ! ]
Itâs the old âsubpoena up the sleeveâ trick. I like it!!!
âThe message to witnesses here is, if you make the time and effort to appear of your own accord, Democrats are going to subpoena you anyway,â Collins said
Well, thatâs not true at all. But even if it were, still a better message to witnesses than -come on in and yell lies into our ears, obfuscate, claim pseudo-Executive privilege and weâll let you skate with nary a pushback or challenge.
That is about to change now that Democrats have the gavel in the House.
I loooove reading that.
House Democrats have also sought to return to a more bipartisan approach to subpoenas, after their Republican counterparts shut them out of the process when the GOP held the House majority.
How can someone go from high to low so quickly? If 6 Flags could bottle it theyâd have people standing in line.
