Discussion: Under The Gun Over Census, Wilbur Ross Stiffs Congressional Hearing

Under the gun? I don’t suppose the Sergeant at Arms of the Senate actually has a gun and could go to Secretary Ross’s office and compel him to appear before the Senate.

Crypt-keeper-shady-banker-manipulator and cabinet secretary is doing what… daring congress to issue subpoenas while letting the clock tick down towards the census?

It’s the Senate. I don’t imagine the republican chairs are going to raise too much of a stink over an “invitation.”

ETA- whoops. glossed over the first part about the House. They should send him a piece of paper that isn’t an invitation. Today.

Subpoena his smugness.

Though, to be fair, didn’t he appear to lie to AOC, and seem contemptuous if her in a recent hearing of the Oversight Committee? Cummings’ follow up questions nailed Wilbur’s foot to the floor, getting him to agree to put his apparent lie in writing.

Yeah, I can see why his smugness might have soured on testifying before Congress.

Subpoena him.

Well, it looks like Democrats will have to loudly crow about the subpoena they’re going to issue, failing to mention they’ll never get around to issuing it.

Brave, brave, Sir Wilbur

Bravely bold Sir Wilbur
Rode forth from Commerce.
He was not afraid to die,
Oh brave Sir Wilbur.
He was not at all afraid
To be questioned in nasty ways.
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Wilbur.
He was not in the least bit scared
To be asked about purpose
And source of census questions.
To have his elbows broken.
To have his kneecaps split
And his body burned away,
And his limbs all hacked and mangled
Brave Sir Wilbur.
His head smashed in
And his heart cut out
And his liver removed
And his bowls unplugged
And his nostrils raped
And his bottom burnt off
And his penis

“That’s, that’s enough music for now lads, there’s dirty work afoot.”
Brave Sir Wilbur ran away.
(“No!”)
Bravely…

Mitch McConnell loves it as he gets to sleep all day and collect his welfare paycheck without doing a thing.

While I truly applaud Democrats raising a stink over this whole situation, I fear the fix is already in. Elections matter, and as seen again last night in Wisconsin, control the courts and you can wreak havoc wherever you desire. The conservatives on the SC will rubber stamp this travesty without blinking an eye.

Long after this geezer is dead and gone, millions will still be living with the consequences of his deceit and the racist intent behind the move.

This isn’t a damn administration. It’s a bunch of heavily armed bank robbers who got trapped in the bank by the cops last November and took everyone hostage.

Each day I wake up and wonder what scandal or atrocities have occurred or will occur or be reported.

I’m so fed up with pantywaist Democrats. Serve him a subpoena immediately. What’s taking so long?

The fun never ends. Of course for a few weeks there I thought he was going to get us into a nuclear war with China, I really did, and I was relieved to wake up at all. Now I figure it’ll probably come as a surprise, so day to day I’m much more at peace with things.

Do you think you could reserve just a small portion of blame for people like Ross and the rest of the administration robber barons? Maybe the Democrats aren’t to blame for everything from the beginnings of the universe to now.

If he gets us into a nuclear spasm I don’t care to wake up.
