This will happen soon enough; probably by July or August. Good theater takes time and should never be rushed.

I tend to agree with you. People are spooked. I get that…but like Clint Eastwood talking about “the right people getting shot”, the right people have to get spooked.
And in this vein, I am speaking of the people who do not follow this stuff but WOULD, if prodded.

That’s flout. Spell checkers ain’t necessarily literate.

I could have missed something, but it didn’t look like a rebuke to me. It looked like he was saying that a formal resolution with a statement on the legislative purpose probably wasn’t given because the requested docs were understood to be within the committee’s purview.

Democrats will come up with unlimited excuses as to why Trump wins in 2020. They will never, ever blame themselves for being feckless, ineffective, waffling pantie-waists. The GOP only fears/respects brute power, a kick in the nads. When Trump wins in 2020, it will be months of Dem finger-pointing, circular firing squads and denials…until the next time it happens.

I understand everyone’s arguments pro and con. But the democrats have a big problem communicating to us people via their ineffective messaging. Yes, someone needs to have public TV forums on the details of the Mueller report. Yes, we have to see and feel that something effective is being done to stop the lawlessness. But until the “rule of law” shows itself to be fair and just, how can anyone not be fearful and demoralized by this sluggish intellectual process? The Republican faction has propagada, read emotional, subconscious messaging, down. Nobody can tell me that the Democrats are missing experts who can effectively combat this with equal language.

There won’t be a “next time” if/when that happens.

Monty Python has a quote for every situation. Especially for the surreal situations such as we currently find ourselves in.
That’s definitely the message I’m getting.
Either that, or they don’t want the stenographers to be mean to them.
Time to shyte or get off the pot…
Trump reasoning 101
McGahn cannot respond to a subpoena (even tho a former WH lawyer) so moron can create a precedent.
Umm, no donnie, sorry. Precedents cannot be founded on crimes.

Every time I go to sit down I look… getting prodded at my age ain’t the best of feelings.
Seriously you are correct. A whole lot of folks live day to day unaware of their eroding country and its traditions. They may need to see in stark relief what trump is hiding. And for him to freak over the tiniest of reveals speaks to something that is off the charts horrible. I believe for starters he is eyeball deep in money laundering on an epic scale, monumental incompetence with a dash of revealing intelligence on TV to appear “tough”. But the really bad part is his betrayal of our country and becoming the lap dog of Putin.

So it is. Yeah, it was the spell checker. Sure, that’s the ticket… (I am reminded of Little Feat’s Old Folks’ Boogie: "You know you’re over the hill when your mind makes a promise that your body can’t fill.)

This part time gig of Congress works to trump’s distinct advantage. Members have baked in so damn much time off they ought to be cut to half pay and even then they make more than I did.

So far, Mr. Nadler, they are indeed optional.
I’m not a lawyer so, don’t get caught up on my choice of words. Maybe “direction” would have been a better thing to say. The quote read to me like the judge was kind of saying, “C’mon Cummings, you can do better than this.”
