for designating Utah's Bear's Ear area as a national monument.
"The Utah Congressman then threatened the departing President by using his power to investigate anything or anybody and said, 'I'm the chairman of the Oversight Committee, I can investigate anything at anytime. I can actually issue subpoenas and drag them ...' "

(111,267 posts)Of all the things they can squander taxpayer money on, these endless investigations of Democrats looking for crimes to pin on them is the absolute worst.
Somebody needs to tell them they need to find the crime, then locate the guilty party.

(297,264 posts)you must really like it there in spite of those who have taken it over.
It would be wonderful if the media would stop covering up for drumpf and FAKE NEWS weren't passed as real.
We have a predator select who is the main purveyor of FAKE NEWS.. it's a crazy Twilight Zone episode for us all.
I wish you a Healthy New Year

(86,636 posts)I couldn't imagine living anywhere else, and I have been around the 48 states a plenty and been a registered voter in 6 of them in my life. They have been pretty much in control here since they ran off the Indians and their bison.
I agree with the twilight zone feeling... I used to be a "a day at a time" person but now it's by the hour instead. I'm going to find counseling tomorrow, I feel really lost.

(82,849 posts)One more example of Republican corruption. Democrats, this would appear to be something you can make an issue out of. Republicans complain all the time about "partisan" things Democrats do, even when they're not partisan. Chaffetz is looking to waste a lot of taxpayer money "investigating" another nothingburger that the American people don't care about. Use that.

(10,023 posts)Than during the televised Benghazi hearings. Can you imagine what Obama could reduce these GOP idiots to if they investigated a National Monument designation. Not to mention that Obama's command of facts and eloquence would be front and center for all to compare with the now imbecilic sitting president Trump.
Then again Chaffetz is almost stupid enough to do it. The party will never let him though.

(34,661 posts)you would understand were this little A-hole comes from. Watch the Salt Lake Tribune for more of this to come. The Freedom Party Caucus funded by the Koch Brothers has been pushing for their pound of flesh. Congressman Bishop has already crafted Legislation to make this happen.
You know darn well someone from the Republican Party was going to do anything possible to discredit the Kenyan in their White House.

You don't care about Russian hacking, whIle most Americans do, but you will investigate President Obama for what??????
By the way if you are into investigating former Presidents, may I suggest Presidents Bush 43 and co- President Dick Cheney?

PRESIDENT Obama has more integrity, style and panache in his little finger than this punk has in his fat butt.
Unfortunately, not even Ryan is going to let this punk self-destruct.

(1,474 posts)I lived in Utah County for nearly 10 years. Sure there are a few nice people, but it is so awfully Repugnant. Dems didn't even field candidates for most local offices, including my state leg. district. When my moronic neighbors first elected this loon, I felt like I should wear a bag over my head. Happy today to report I'm now living in a solid blue district in a state that voted for HRC (Nevada).
