Palpatine thinks he is relevant to this.
Or what? Is that supposed to be a threat? Seems to me that if a Republican is warning you not to investigate something then it definitely needs investigating.
I think he’s implying that exposing the corruption will bring to light corrupt Democrats as well.
Which is such a fucking typical conservative concept, as though the party should defend the corruption within by ignoring corruption everywhere. Jokes on you, motherfucker, because we want to expose and eliminate corruption among Democrats and Republicans.
Can you imagine a congress and SCOTUS that actually acts in the interest of the people?
Democrats are not on a cult.
“Vote Blue No Matter Who” *is textbook cultish behavior and has lead to some truly awful candidacies.
The post-Obama turn from casual social liberalism to BlueAnon party jingoism has been absolutely miserable for intra-party Democratic politics. The influx of Bill Kristol / Michael Bloomberg / Lincoln Project anti-Trump Republicans is a poison pill that’s going to do the same damage to the Dems that it did to the GOP under Bush.
I’m already seeing all the toxicity and nastiness in local Dem organizing meetings that I remember my parents complaining about as liberal Republicans during the 2000-era turn.
Tbf, some Democrats don’t want it exposed, nor will resign when they are exposed. Some will run to their yacht to hide from angry constituents and not face intraparty opposition.
Or hell be forced to stand completely still and silent while definitely not having a seizure.
Dude, just fucking die already. I hope they double their efforts of subpoenas going forward. If a spotlight is cast on a Democrat, well call for their removal as well. Politics should not be a “get rich quick” scheme. You work for us, asshole, and it’s high time we reminded you/them of that fact.
You work for us, asshole, and it’s high time we reminded you/them of that fact.
Time to start flexing our muscles to remind these assholes of that fact.
What muscles? Congress was created by an oligarchy to serve oligarchs and has never been anything else.
Even the new deal was just a scheme to stop a guillotine party.
Palpatine thinks he is relevant to this.
He KNOWS he’s relevant, that’s why he’s threat-begging them to look the other way.
I get that he has to fight this, for political reasons, but this is the dumbest fucking rebuttal ever
What he’s targeting here is private citizens with no legislative purpose. I think it’s completely and totally inappropriate,” McConnell said at a press conference Tuesday
The Supreme Court is hardly your average citizen and Congress absolutely has reasons to investigate potential corrupt in the Supreme Court.
Targeting a private citizen who was involved in bribing members of the Supreme Court of the United States. Somehow I think that second part might be relevant to Congress subpoenaing that “poor wittle pwivate citizen”
Also, calling billionaires “private citizens” seems wrong to me. If you’ve managed to hoard enough wealth to make a Tolkien dragon envious, you’re no longer a “private citizen” in my book. If I became an immortal being when Christ was born, started saving $10,000 a day every day, didn’t spend a single dime, and STILL don’t have your net worth today, over 2,000 years later - then fuck you - you’re not a “private citizen” you’re a god damn plague upon society that should be counting your blessings that guillotines went out of style a few centuries ago. As far as I’m concerned, billionaires should be in front of Congress every day explaining why they should be allowed to exist.
also weird since he definitely thought it was worth it to probe hunter biden despite being a private citizen
Fuck all the way off back to Moscow, Mitch.
