Because none of these guys are genius level thinkers, I expect that some of their attempts will backfire on them and do the exact opposite thing they expect.

🚨#BREAKING McCarthy’s GOP has *postponed* their hearing to help mass shooters. Postponed *NOT* cancelled. Which means they fear the optics not the policy. That is consciousness of guilt.
At least 3 children are dead in another school shooting. Yet the GOP-led Judiciary Committee is passing a resolution tomorrow to make it easier for mass shooters to obtain pistol stabilizing braces. They must cancel this hearing now.

You know what solves problems?

Yep, you know.

Thoughts and prayers.

That's what solves problems.

Interestingly in Europe we tend to have too much wind energy at prices lower than the other clean energy produced by water.

When Marjorie Taylor Greene was in 11th grade, George H.W. Bush was president and signed into law the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990.

It passed the Senate by a voice vote and the House by a vote of 313-1.

Joe Biden has not, in fact, been president for the past 33 years.

Do you think the parents of gun violence victims care about House Republicans’ hearings on DC public urination or banning books? Dead kids can’t read

Kevin McCarthy @SpeakerMcCarthy wrote: Alvin Bragg has irreparably damaged our country in an attempt to interfere in our Presidential election.

As he routinely frees violent criminals to terrorize the public, he weaponized our sacred system of justice against President Donald Trump.

The American people will not tolerate this injustice, and the House of Representatives will hold Alvin Bragg and his unprecedented abuse of power to account.

Kevin McCarthy @SpeakerMcCarthy wrote: Alvin Bragg is attempting to interfere in our democratic process by invoking federal law to bring politicized charges against President Trump, admittedly using federal funds, while at the same time arguing that the peoples’ representatives in Congress lack jurisdiction to investigate this farce.

Not so. Bragg’s weaponization of the federal justice process will be held accountable by Congress.

Investigate the investigator: James Comer must be sidelined pending thorough inquiry
Kurt BardellaOpinion Contributor

Since assuming control of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. James Comer has launched a flurry of investigations targeting President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and even the widow of the President’s deceased son. Now he is seeking to weaponize the Oversight Committee to disrupt the Manhattan District Attorney’s investigation into the recently indicted Donald Trump. Comer’s hysterics have made him a mainstay on the Republican Party’s favorite propaganda outlet Fox News, appearing an absurd 11 times in the span of eight days. With every appearance and distasteful soundbite, you can sense the ego in Comer growing. He is relishing the spotlight and the power of the Committee.

Does that make the case for potential defendants that their prosecution is politically motivated?

@SIfill_
For a prosecutor to announce plans to launch retaliatory, partisan political prosecutions is a violation of their oath of office. To do so runs afoul of
@ABAesq
standards for prosecutors, the Code of Prof. Responsibility, the bar rules of their state.
So what are their names?

Because, you know, Joe Biden filed tax and small business records during his time living and running companies in both of those states, right?

Or, you know, otherwise had some presence which establishes any crimes committed and indictable there.

OI course. Of course. :crazy:

WRT the above summons, I think it's worth discussing the earlier concerns which overarc but extend separately from the idea of hitting Bragg up for documents: does the authority of Congress to hold oversight hearings extend to matters that are purely of state law and state-level criminal investigations? This is me confessing my ignorance and wishing to remedy it.
