The Republican National Committee has been paying for an effort to get thousands of people to call congressional Democrats en masse in an effort to tie up their phone lines with complaints about the impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump.
Is this what Rethuglicans call responsible leadership? Dems could do the same thing to the White House, the DOJ, etc, but I doubt that they would be that childish. It takes Trumpistas to play such childish and immature games.
How soon will it be before the RNC resorts to DoS attacks?
Not Republicans but Anarchists, it seems.
Swamp dwellers.
Ronna McDaniel? Oh yeah…the woman who dropped Romney from her hyphenated name when it got awkward…
All these stupid antics do is inconvenience staffers. Whoopty do.
Good career move if she wants to cash in the Republican DC salary cash cow.

FIFY!
'Hey everybody - we’re out of ideas and sensible plans - let’s cheat!"
DNC: “Bring it, chumps!”
Well let’s come up with more ideas for the RNC to waste money, money they’ll need to stave off another law suite for coordinating with a foreign entity to interfere with our elections, and DJT & DJTJ’s legal bills. All the while they’ll not be able to count on $30 M from the NRA, all the feral Trumpers won’t contribute to anyone other than DJT, and some of their other big money donors may sit this one out, again.
That’s one aspect of this telephone campaign.
But … people who want to impose hierarchical control on others are … the opposite of anarchists.
What is this “DNC” of which you speak?
I was thinking of their gumming up the works of everything from the legislative action , to oversight and legal processes, to the phone lines.
Once the government comes to a halt, then capital and corporate power will rule, like Russia, and so you’re right, they will still be at the top of a hierarchy. Perhaps anarchy as a means to a new Crony Capitalist state.

Maybe nihilism in service of Mammon?
Why pay these telephone callers? They can probably, on the cheap, get the “robot voiced lady” that calls me regularly to warn me that the IRS is going garnish my annuity unless I give her my personal information.
It’s the regular republican grift machine. Probably automated calls, transfer to a human if someone picks up. Or even better, just have a question, “would you like to complain to your congresscritter”, and auto-transfer. Cheaper to do, still get to bill the party for a couple million.
