Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 How about “secrecy” When committee Republicans are in interviews, the Republicans still claim it’s secret investigations. Stupid

Stupid Great, if this "inquiry" is not being done in secret behind closed doors, then there's no reason to continue to withhold the transcripts of testimony. You know, unless those transcripts undermine the selective leaks and obviously-bullschiff narrative that's trying to be presented. 1

When Nunes was chair during the Mueller probe and Russia investigations, the minority had a vote on everything, including subpoenas. All sides were welcomed to partake in not only closed door hearings and testimony, but public ones as well. Schiff takes over, changes the rules (as is their right per House rules). Because when the left loses they don't reassess, they change the rules to rig the game in their favor. We're seeing that same thing play out here.

On the bright side, the whining from the Democrats will be epic when the GOP eventually retakes the House and keeps these same rules in place to exclude the minority from everything. 1
Cinga Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 "I speak for the American People" by Pelosi in particular, but ANYONE not of the executive branch or hasn't won a recent NATIONAL election. It pisses me off that anyone would have the gall to speak for me that I had no say to put in office or keep out. She represents a tiny part, about 800 thousand like every other member of the House. 2

A coup is is an unconstitutional take over. Stop repeating Trump crude propaganda! Alright alright. Stop calling a back door coup an impeachment. 3 1

Thank you! I was just saying the same thing to someone the other day. Adam Sh&$ wasn’t elected by anyone other than a few City blocks worth of people in and around Los Angeles. He doesn’t represent me or my vote. How we’ve elevated members of the House (not even Senators) to the national microphone is beyond me! 1 1

In it's modern form. Newt Gingrich "Contract with America." That's how. (Though you could as easily make a case for Ted Kennedy riding Jack and Bobby's coat-tails. And probably a few others.) 1

That was a policy position based on electing Republicans as a group, not singulary. These days we’re seeing individual Members our championing individual causes and issues.

Using it less as an example than as a convenient calendar marker. But he's the Congresscritter who became a national figure turning political difference into an interpersonal grudge match at a national level.

Pelosi on the other hand is the opposite, like Obama; it's all about "me/I/singular
