Lawmakers also could order that Barr be jailed until he provides the subpoenaed documents, but that hasn’t happened since the early 20th century.

Cool story, brah!

No.

“The center” is only a delusional thought if you think political opinion isn’t a spectrum, or that elections are won only by the respective bases.

And if you are so certain that, “more damning evidence,” will appear for impeachment, then there is no harm in waiting to actually see it. The House does not need to vote on articles of impeachment to investigate Trump for possible impeachable offenses.

But I think that we’re already pretty close to that threshold anyway, if not past it.

Impeachment is the only effective way to get the facts.

It is the same type of primary environment the Republicans had in 2016, and that led to nothing good.

But you’re talking about the ACA and Obamacare from an after the fact perspective.

My point is that this will blow up in our faces when it comes time to actually pass the law.

And if your response to that is “Yes, but other people won’t support that” then maybe the majority support for M4A you keep touting is in fact a mirage manufactured by a cheap rhetorical tactic that we should abandon before such lame fuckery inevitably blows up in our faces.

I’m curious if there’s free speech aspects to this — I get that the government can withhold foreign aid, for example, if the recipients don’t toe an ideological line. But then, they don’t have a First Amendment ...

Because “sanctuary city” has become a completely loaded term

“I can be bought for approximately this much, the amount of a fancy dinner tab in D.C.”

“If I’m still the majority leader in the Senate think of me as the Grim Reaper. None of that stuff is going to pass,”

Oh. So you weren’t asking an honest question.

I’d rather have the Night King on the throne than Cersei, for what it’s worth. Team Night King.

They have oversight authority through the ability to legislate, definitely. They can look at what was done in order to study whether there is appropriate legislative action they can take to shore up holes in the law.

You bet your damn bippy that Congress has the authority.

I think there is a point this should be a DoJ or Treasury issue. But, both are run by political hacks who are protecting Trump and failing in their duties to the public.
