I have a bad feeling about this. I swear to god Trump the other rat fucks are going to pull something. They are being too quiet.
Jan 7 part 2 is my first guess
Someone posted their ai slop flyer to the Behind the Bastards Subreddit, if you're willing to believe OP. Given that Jake Lang is their headliner I'm not that worried about it.
Overwhelm the system with so many criminals, just like their Gish Gallop of continouously telling lies every time they speak, they make it impossible to expend the effort to punish them all. Especially seeing as they hold the traitorous SCotUS who will let them off the hook for just about anything.
Investigate, use information collected to enact anti-corruption laws, send corruption information to states where it violates their laws, build communications to get citizens behing the bills. Behind closed doors investigation is fine, information is the goal. Changes the appearance of a witch hunt to what Americans really want, no corruption. Go after MAGA polititians criminally and you lost the people that don’t believe you are any less corrupt than the repubicans.
There’s a lot to probe and arrest but make it work. You go after everyone. Have have to do it all while you work on your campaign promises and fix what Trump broke. All of it.
Jeffries represents the Epstein class. Anyone voting for him is dead to me.
can you make them dead for everyone instead?

NGL kind of wish some of these congresspeople would stfu so the criminals have less time to prepare before January.
Criminals are going to do what criminals do. The election results were a warning, they'll prepare for things even if everyone was quiet about it. I say keep talking, pump up their anxiety. Get Trump pissed off more, he tends to fire people then.

There are already reports of them shredding incriminating documents.
I remind you that the case against Trump after his first term ended relied heavily upon classified documents secretly stored in Maralago, some of which were flushed down toilets.
The secret service communication devices and servers all got "accidentally" wiped once congress subpeona'd them.
If we give crooks time to prepare then they will successfully destroy evidence.
I agree with that point. I'm not sure legally what can be done about that with the standing Congress, as the majority aren't going to do anything. Plus, who is in charge of implementing law enforcement? The Executive Branch.

The ones that are smart enough already started preparing as soon as the map started to go blue.
The others are too incompetent to actually hide their crimes.
I find it hilarious that you think Republicans do or don’t do things based on how much we talk about them doing it lmao. Very gullible thinking.
Agree. Actions not words!

Too bad Fungus Con can hand out pardons faster than Congress can indict his henchpeople
Ya, none of them will actually pay any really consequences. Very good argument for limiting the pardon power of the president.
Trump has pardoned people who were already serving long prison sentences. He pardoned that SEAL who cut a kids throat who probably would be a prison cell for life now. And he is flirting with pardoning the only person to go to prison for Epstein Island.
Yeah I'd be fine with limiting that shit.
Probably a better argument for making guillotines
Accepting a pardon is accepting guilt. In doing so they wave their 5th amendment rights and can be compelled to testify. Which they should all be. Everything thurroughly investigated and documented. Hopefully re incriminating them and others with state charges.

Not anymore it isn't.
She really blew it when she decided to announce that she wasn't going to back anyone else against establishment "leadership."
She's on a tightrope.
She has a lot of people whispering in her ear to primary Schumer in 2028, and calling for someone else to be the majority leader would essentially be a declaration of intent when she's still weighing her options between that, running for President, accepting a VeeP nomination, or maybe joining the cabinet in 2029.
That's not a tightrope. Those are just different ways for her to personally respond to the same problem. She could say Chuck and Hakeem suck publicly and all of those options are still on the table.
If she doesn't persue Schumer's seat in 2028, she'd be making a powerful senator from her own state an enemy needlessly. She has no vote in the Senate leadership, and she's not going to change the mind of anyone who does have a say in it. Her strongest allies in the Senate are already going to vote against him. What good does publicly chastising him do?
It lets her constituents and supporters know that she understands and shares their position. That's the whole purpose of having a representative in the first place. They are supposed to say things on your behalf, and not only when it benefits them personally. In fact, I would argue that you can't be a good representative if you aren't willing to do that when it doesn't personally benefit you.
For the love of God don't waste your entire time "prosecuting" rich people that seem to always fucking get away with it...get policies passed for us small people that make our lives better for once for fucks sake.

It's almost as if those two things don't exist in a vacuum and are closely related to the other or lack there of.
You know there's different committees that do different jobs right?
Yup but even still the primary focus should be the people. It's been far too long since that's even felt like the governments primary focus.
Are we arresting more or less of the administration than after Joe Biden's term on office?
What about Obama's term?
Clinton's?
Okay, but surely under Carter...
Kennedy? Ffs! Surely he had someone prosecuted after the Bay of Pigs.
Okay, fine. But FDR, here was a guy who... nope! Whole Hoover Admin got off Scott free.
Well, maybe this time will be difference.
Ooh, how scary! Well luckily Hakeem Jeffries who she endorses is going to do nothing about it.

You've twisted her words, and she's already explained it.
The Speaker selection takes place in roughly three weeks via a fixed ballot. There are no write-ins. Candidates who want to be considered have to write a letter to the entire Democratic house caucus announcing their intention.
Right now, today, there is no one other than Jeffries on that ballot.
So explain to the rest of us how she -- or any other House dem -- can elect a different candidate for Speaker when there is no other candidate currently running.
Does she? The best endorsement I've heard generally is "well, no one else is stepping up..." which is lukewarm at best lol
