Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I’ve been curious as to what she’s been up to.
A strongly worded meeting is sure to change things.
I can’t tell who has more winning at this point. Dems or GOP
Uh oh, and the Dow is under 50,000. Now she's in trouble.
line go down 🤷♂️
Yeah but boy howdy have you see those oil stocks
What's that drop off in may?
I think that was April and I’m sure the Trump estate and every other wealthy associate didn’t know a bunch of tariffs were coming and then stopping then and buy at the crash and then attack Iran and then sell at peak

Makes sense.
Nah. There's still crime in Democrat's cities for her to bring up instead of answering questions, so...
I'm waiting for her to start citing instances of jaywalking from her little burn book there.
Yep, now she HAS to answer questions whether she likes it or not.
Unless they're actually able and willing to hold her in contempt when she inevitably throws a tantrum and refuses to directly answer "Yes" or "No" to simple questions under oath, what's the point?
They need to be absolutely willing to sic the Marshall on her if necessary and frog-march her to the Capitol Jail or whatever it is. Rules need TEETH. I am so sick of hearing how the US has 'guardrails'. Bullshit.
Start the hearing with informing her that refusal to answer any question will immediately result in the sargent at arms arresting her for charges of contempt of congress.
I wouldn't doubt if America had a human farm. And she came from it. Born and bred to be an accomplice.
Hopefully the dow will be back over 50,000 by then
Idea:
Let's take this moment to repurpose "LOCK HER UP!"
More toddler tantrums, shouting over others, and ad hominem attacks against committee members incoming.
All true. But for the serious members of the committee she really only gets to play that once. Everyone's expecting her binder act now, and at least some will be bringing binders of their own, fully prepared for counterattack. The majority ( R ) members will pander to her and run out her time; the minority (D) members, who knows.
She WILL at least try to turn her deposition into a circus, but not everyone is that vulnerable to shouty obstructionism. Comer is no longer able to corral his committee members, so even though he personally is committed to keeping this hearing a place where truth goes to die, the few on both sides who really want the truth to come out will likely not follow his lead.
Also, it's not so much about what she says. I doubt anyone there expects her to do anything but obfuscate and maybe even Fifth. More likely she will invent some kind of non-existent "executive privilege" exception to having to answer anything at all. If I were an attorney (and many members of Congress are) right now I would be planning my questioning accordingly, and I'm sure the serious ones are doing exactly that.
But whatever she says in this hearing, she says under oath, which means it's not just amoral attack slop, it's amoral attack slop with personal legal liability attached. It won't have any now, but her perjury will never go away, either.
Excellent news, I've been wondering where the dow is at. Pam will know...
At least they haven't forgotten about the criminal cover-up that's still ongoing, even while Operation Epstein Fury fucks over the world in the attempt to distract from it. Subpoenas like this are one of the primary ways to enforce accountability, and even though that hasn't really happened yet (accountability) in this bullshit hurricane, we should still support their efforts.
Why only the women in his circle get thrown to the wolves?
