Trump fanatic Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) led a swarm of his mostly tie-clad, middle-aged GOP peers to storm the secure room where testimony related to the impeachment inquiry was scheduled to be shared on Wednesday.
If Democrats…
Rule of Law people indeed
Afterthought…
Who will play Gaetz on The SNLOpening Skit
The lawmakers were fueled by anger that they weren’t allowed to listen in on the testimony of top Pentagon official Laura Cooper
BULL FUCKING SHIT
Brooks Brothers Riot 2019.
I have some helpful suggestions for dealing with these people.
So, why did Capitol Police stand by and do nothing? They arrest (legitimate) protestors without hesitation and for far less.
That Matt Gaetz was the leader of this stupid stunt tells you about all you really need to know.
What comes next in the “Distractions for Dummies” playbook?
Good one
Same deal exactly
“The lawmakers were fueled by anger that they weren’t allowed to listen in on the testimony of top Pentagon official Laura Cooper”
You know that’s not the case, why put it in the article.
There’s an old legal aphorism that goes, " If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts . If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither on your side, pound the table."
This is pounding your head on the table
Late edit: What have we become? Like the Indian Parliament where fights break out and furniture is tossed at the opposition?
Just lock the doors and have the hearing in another room. They can rot in there with their pizza.
That’s one useful thing to know, yes.
Here’s another:
And a third thing I’d like to know:
Will there be any consequences?
How on earth did I know before even clicking on the article that this was a Matt Gaetz production?
Maybe we can have an inquiry into his DUI, and he can storm that too.
But it adds, “…despite the fact that none of them sit on the committees overseeing the inquiry. Other firebrand Trump supporters — like Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Devin Nunes (R-CA) — do sit on the committees and were thus included in the closed-door testimonies.”
Although they could have made the point a little sooner in the paragraph.
Matt Gaetz was just drunk and stumbled into the wrong room. The other 19 congresscritters were just making sure he was ok.
They don’t think twice about hauling someone out of a wheelchair FFS
We are headed into some very unpleasant territory
These morans need to be dealt with in terms they understand
There needs to be, or it wont stop with this case.
Because consequences are only a thing for Democrats, have you not been paying attention the last few years.
But here we have an infraction in the House – where the Democrats are in charge.
Right?
The return of Gestapo tactics.
They shouldn’t have been able to set one foot inside, so where the hell was the Sergeant at Arms through all this?
