Nancy is speaker. She knows what she is doing. We are a Center/Left Country and she knows how to play to that.

If shithole thought he had "clear" sailing re: being acquitted from the Senate Republicans, he would be praising that . .

Me thinks not all Senate Republicans are on board.

Second, his partners in crime are being exposed in record time, which also tie shithole to them.

Mueller investigation was and still is proper. House Democrats will revisit it.

Oversight or Financial Services committees before the vote to Impeach is taken?
I hope so; there's bound to be even more impeachable activity out there

18. This is one time when a leak would be expiosive.

Illegal, but explosively illuminating.

Could a whistleblower defense be made for leaking his taxes?

Bad precedent, I suppose, regarding privacy of tax returns. Plus a second whistkeblower would be just too much.

But I wish......

🔥 Twitter War is On🔥

Truth must speak more loudly than lies.

Sadly, politics has been transformed into Reality TV & too many are too busy or too tired to sift through the lies.

Speak often Madame Speaker!

We will amplify your voice. Retweet!

GOTV


PLEASE BE A TWITTER WARRIOR!

It’s the only way to speak directly to people with a soap box. Many of my pleas to news broadcasters end up on their programs.

TWITTER is a battlefield sadly. But a battlefield nonetheless.

criminal activity related to the committee's investigation.

But she cannot pick a replacement.

Nor can the Repukes pick a replacement exactly - the Ranking Member sot goes to the next ranking member, just as Carolyn Maloney stepped in for Elijah Cummings (sob, sniff.) They can appoint a new member but that member will be at the bottom of the totem pole. They cannot make Gym Jordan the ranking member.
