the Reichstag kept meeting after the passage of the Enabling Act, appearances needed to be maintained.

Despite the occasional squeak of criticism, the GOP Congress members have shown they will rubberstamp anything laid before them.

They are illegally accessing information about American citizens + tampering w/ America's
infrastructure. Arrest them... Arrest them all... Charge them w/ sabotage... Charge them w/
illegal access + possession + obstruction + tampering... Start by locking up the Musketeer's
low-hanging fruit employees... Let's see who squeals the loudest... Let's see who comes to
their rescue...

Let the Dems use the power of the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms + Capitol police... Issue subpoenas...
Demand accountability... Demand they fix what they've messed w/ + return what they've illegally
appropriated... Apply some serious pressure... at least look like Dems mean business...

And there's just one female amongst the Tech Bros??? Please... Is she "just one of the guys"???
Doesn't she know that when all this sh*t goes down, they'll pin it all on her...
