You do realize not ONE person connected to rump will show up and be questioned by our

[Eliot Rosewater]

congress even if they are subpoenaed, right, everybody here FUCKING KNOWS THAT I HOPE

Think about it, NO WONDER Nancy doesnt want to do this.


I should add I am in FAVOR of any kind of hearings even though McConnell wont allow a single subpoena to be issued. But in the House much could be accomplished.





















OF COURSE rump ORDERED the ship not to be seen

1. I don't know any such thing, and neither do you

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. OK, I am wrong, sincerely, maybe one, maybe two...maybe

Not saying I am against having them, by the way

[Bettie]

4. What means does the house have to compel

compliance with a subpoena?

From what I've been able to find, that requires a DOJ that is functional on some level.

We don't have that. We have a DOJ run by someone nearly as craven and dishonest as McConnell.

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. Yep, so ultimately either we take back the WH while fighting the Russians and GOP at the same time

or what is called the

election

or we are done, gone, for good.

This is when the shit must hit the streets...

[Bettie]

6. You are right and

nothing has been done to secure our elections. Nothing will be done, because it requires the guy with veto power over all legislation (McConnell) to get it done.

Gives me that feeling of cold dread. They already have a plan to keep their Dear Leader in place. I doubt they'll even try to hide it this time.

[Eliot Rosewater]

7. Exactly, no reason to hide it, DOJ works for rump and putin now

2. I predicted this the day after we won back the House ...

I knew Trump would just tell us to fuck off about every single thing the Dems asked for for the next two years, including interviewing anyone.

And that there'd be f***-all Dems would be able to do about it.

He'll just ignore the Courts too if they rule against him.

However, fortunately, not sure that Deutsche and Mazars are going to refuse to hand things over ordered by the Courts, so there is that.

Gonna probably have to get everything we need through other channels other than the Executive Branch.

8. i think we must refuse to fund departments that don't show

sorry, but that is all we have.

keep subpoenas rolling with refusal to fund the department involved.

and start with no fuel for air force 1 and no travel funds to mar a lago.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

9. I'm all for this

We need to leverage whatever power we can. I think that this is all creating a situation where impeachment of Trump will have to at least be attempted.
