RNC Trying To Jam Up Dems’ Phone Lines With Complaints About Impeachment Efforts | Talking Points Memo

What’s the problem, RNC? Couldn’t get Guccifer since Assange got kicked out of the Embassy?

And how did you have prior knowledge about the Podesta e-mails dropping again?

It will be the Trump/Moscow Mitch version. Shut down the government to stop the impeachment proceedings.

They are already denying all kinds of service to Americans who don’t think they way they do.

let’s see…
11,000 callers since late September across roughly 33-34 offices comes to maybe 15 calls per office per day.
Doesn’t sound like ‘jamming up’ to me.
The Senate got over 1.5 million per day during the cabinet confirmation process in 2017.

Ooh, my favorite is the completely incomprehensible “federal marshals are searching for you and if you don’t respond to this ridiculous robocall, you’re going to be arrested. For something. But give us your banking info. Or else.”

So now the GOP has resorted to obstruction.

I’m as shocked as you are!

Think of something underhanded and they have tried it – from this nonsense, to Gaetz and his pizza party, to the “Brooks Brothers riot,” to Lee Atwater and Newt Gingrich and Tom Delay, to lying to Congress, to actual high crimes and misdemeanors in the White House – nothing is too low for the modern Republican Party.

Now count the number of times they have succeeded.

Maybe we should take seriously their claim that the death penalty is a deterrent.

Juvenile, mean spirited, corrupt, and utterly inappropriate.

Ladies and Gentlemen: today’s Trump GOP in action.

OT
Bevin leads Beshear 53-45, with 32pct of vote counted

Well, the R’s have never been adverse to “Rat F#####g”.

Juvenile, malicious, and completely within their long tradition of being a party that lectures about honor and integrety, while not practicing either.

…again

IMO the best way to ‘Stop the Madness’ is to crush the GOP.

Oh, man. If that’s all they got. Seriously, this is something a bunch of 8th graders would do.

Soon? that is effectively what this is …
“approximately 11,000 callers flooding almost three dozen congressional Democrats’ offices with complaints.” so … roughly 36 congressional offices getting hammered with an average of 305 calls pumped into them … - if the total phone time / follow-up / administrative requirement averages just 10 minutes per encounter - the generates an average of 50 hours worth of work for each targeted congressional office … since congressional offices are not magically scale-able in terms of ability to handle constituent needs - yeah - this is kind of a form of targeted sabotage by the assholes at the RNC

“Thank you for contacting the office of Democratic Representative Fukyu D Plorable. We appreciate the call. If you’re calling to support the impeachment of the worst and most corrupt fake president in US history, press 1. If you’re calling to find out how to donate money to the Make America Grownup Again campaign, press 2. If you’re calling to find out how to remove the name “Trump” from your local buildings, ice rinks and gold courses, press 3. If you’re calling to whine like a teatless piggie runt about no quid pro quo and waste our time, press π. Thanks again and have a Trump-free day!”

Bevin refusing to concede … wonder - - how long he will thrash around in denial? … how many outrageous claims will he make?
