I did not know that and that rocks if only they would. I will bet you anything they are too chickenshit but boy that would be some justice.

But does he care about that? Unless heād be facing prison time, I donāt think it would honestly matter. He has enough support from the Federalists that he would never want for income. So what does he care?

He cares. He always mentions being held in contempt. It bothers him. Barrās problem right now is that he doesnāt want to tell Trump he canāt deliver because not only would Trump ice him out, it would signal to Trump that he canāt outrun the law. Barr is the fixer Trump dreams of. If he canāt do it, no one can. That will send Trump into a severe cycle of despondency and youāll see his approval rating drop. The GOP depends on Barr being able to plow through for Trump. If Barr is stymied, Trump and the GOP are done.

Hoyer (and the entire leadership) - you had better have a mega warehouse of ammunition secured and ready!
This is like if you are going to stand up to the schoolyard bully - yes - squarely and legitimately land your first punch - but if you are not already well prepared with the 10 things you are going to do next - you are going to get your head handed to you - but if you have gamed it out correctly - keep pounding relentlessly until the authorities take him away - no mercy - there were plenty of opportunities in the past for him to have chosen to not be an asshole now it must go to a definitive conclusion
Oh Oh Oh I hope you are fully prepared ā¦

The House is operating within a lawful framework as opposed to trumPP minions who operate purposefully and willfully outside the law. So, really, and with all due respect because weāre on the same team, the sternly-worded letter inferring Dem weakness is way past its sell date.

All I know is trumPP said āIām fuckedā when he learned the Mueller Part Two tied him to Russia. Everything thatās followed must be adding to his agita but he blusters through with enabling media and diversionary tactics, e.g. Sunday ICE raids as one of the most extreme.

The House should. It would match the contempt l have for those criminals.

Court actions should be filed directly after an affirmative vote os contempt. By the next day, no later.

So is this why Trump is reportedly backing down? Was there a deal? If so, is the contempt vote off?

He always backs down because heās a bully and a coward and thatās what bullies and cowards do.

Rawstory just sent an update from ABC that the dotard will fold on the citizenship/census question in his bullshit presser today. To save face he will claim that there is a different way to question the people in this country.

We shall see if the contempt charges are factual. I think weāve been down this road before with Barr and then nothing. Start with Barr and for goodness sake, start the impeachment inquiry on trump.

Ever since Big Bill sat in the Big Chair, the GOP has been campaigning on the notion that the Democrats are simply cowards. Unless the Democrats do somethng to counteract this, they will get hit again with it in 2020.
The lady has Ovaries. And they are big brass ones coated with Adamantium Steel.
Too many People Mistake Speaker Pelosiās compassion and methodical action for weakness.
Big Mistake.
