kentuck's JournalThe subpoena should not be withdrawn...
That seems to be the talking point for the WH and many Republicans, including James Comer, the Chair of the Oversight Committee.
Reportedly, Pam Bondi begged and groveled to keep her job as the Attorney General but for some reason, unknown to all of us, he fired her. She was willing to cover up the Epstein files and to break laws and lie for Donald Trump, but that was not enough.
Now, she is a civilian. But she still has the information that the Committee has been asking for. She knows how many files are still being hid from the public? She knows what files were deleted or destroyed? She also knows that if she comes to the hearing and continues to act like a petulant child, she can be held in contempt.
As we have seen, James Comer does not have control of his Committee. Rep Massie and a couple of women have opposed him, in favor of the victims of Epstein.
If the need arises, I suppose Trump could find a position for her in the Administration and she could plead separation of powers?
However, there are no legitimate reasons why Pam Bondi should not tell the American people all that she knows. Maybe it will be taken into consideration whenever she is sentenced?
If the poll numbers hold up, Republicans will get their just dessert.
They will be thrown out of power in the House and the Senate. The Democrats can finally investigate the crimes and corruption. Of course, they won't have time to do anything else.
But, karma is overdue. The cruelty and deception of the Republicans needs to be exposed. Perhaps they thought they were above the law?
If Trump orders a nuclear strike, who will stop him?
Will the military follow his orders? From what we have seen, the answer is probably yes.
Will the Congress do anything to stop him. From what we have seen, the answer is probably no.
There is a madman driving the bus and we are all going along for the ride.
We know he is going to drive the bus over the cliff.
Because he is not a stable genius.
In fact, he may be the exact opposite, masquerading as someone that can "ace" a cognitive test.
Is MAGA dead?
I hear numerous reports that MAGA "influencers" are very critical of Trump and are saying that high gas prices and war in Iran is not what they voted for. Also, they see the cover-up of the Epstein files and are none too pleased about that either.
If these mouthpieces for the MAGA movement desert the cause, will the cult follow them or will they remain loyal to their leader? From the recent polls, we might assume that some are leaving the movement.
But the point is, who gives a damn? They have already done their damage and now they want to walk away unscathed? Forgiven? Just a simple political mistake? They have learned their lesson?
It gives the appearance of rats jumping ship.
What would "accountability" look like when this regime is finally finished?
Where would "accountability" start?
In my opinion, it would start with who we decide to put in the White House. Then, it would be determined to a great degree by whom he chooses as the Attorney General.
If there is a different majority in the House and Senate, I would expect there would be bunches of investigations, many with subpoenas.
The threat of jail must be in the rules for accountability. Grand Juries would hear the evidence and those charged with crimes, very serious crimes, would then face a jury of their peers, just like our Constitution states.
For example, those that have withheld information requested by law, should be prosecuted for Obstruction of Justice, in my opinion. They can defend themselves, as they have a right to do, and say that they are separate from the Congress, in that they were a part of the Executive Branch, etc.
But the process should continue with vigor, in my opinion.
Is it the "criminalization of politics" or is it the "politicization of criminality"?
MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump accused the Democrats of "criminalizing" politics with all their investigations, subpoenas, convictions, etc. So they have decided to do the exact opposite. They are indulging in a criminal wave unlike any this country has ever seen. Everybody is in it to make a buck. Or a million? Or, in the case of the Trump family, make billions.
Politics has become a criminal enterprise. The Democrats were correct in investigating the crimes of Donald Trump and his stooges. The only thing the Democrats did wrong was they did not investigate enough or convict enough. We let them off the hook and they understood it to mean they could do whatever they wanted and there would be no consequences.
The entire world knows that we have a sociopath and international criminal in charge...
But we have politicians that are able to shrug it off and laugh as if everything is normal. It is a sickness in our politics.
It is an international crime against humanity to bomb civilian power plants. But a sociopath does not care. They have no empathy for anyone.
Will the fever ever break?
There is a threat to the entire world sitting in the White House and our elected officials do nothing. They cannot talk to each other. They cannot compromise or come to any understanding. They are unable to form any type of coalition. They are frozen in cowardice.
Hopefully the people will make a change in November?
Government is shut down because Trump wants more money for his private army.
But, they don't really need any money... The Congress already appropriated them more money than they know how to spend. They have oodles of money. That is not why the government is shut down.
Trump is experimenting with his new private army. He has sent them into our airports to assist with security, because TSA is not being paid, because the government is shut down, because Trump has lied and deceived the Congress and the American people.
There is a larger plan in the works. They are going to steal the next election. The polls show that Republicans are paying a heavy price for doing the bidding of Trump. And they are quite content if they can pass a voter suppression act to "save" them in the next election. That is the only Save America act that is at play.
It's not going to get any better...
It is depressing but it is the reality. It is the ultimate naivete to think otherwise.
So long as this present regime is in power, the worse it will be for all of America. And, in fact, the rest of the world.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, good can come from the seeds that have been sown. The bluster, the violence, the lies, the threats, the corruption. What would you expect tomorrow to look like?
Until we can get rid of this pestilence, we will continue to live in the shadows hoping something or someone will save us.
Republicans and Democrats are Americans. But one of them is in the deepest denial of their lives. And they demand that everyone else go under with them.
It's a sad place they have taken America.
And so it begins...
ICE agents storm into our airports to assist the TSA with security. They walk around like the cocks on the block. They hover over the agents as they try to do their jobs. They intimidate the traveling public. They slam women to the floor and handcuff them, in front of their children, all the while yelling profanities.
This is a test. If they can enter our airports and intimidate people, what's to keep them from entering our polling places. This is the beginning and how we react will determine what they do in the future. Republicans pray to their God that the American people do not wake up from this nightmare. Otherwise, there would be hell to pay.
Democrats have offered to fund TSA separately in order to keep the air traffic moving, but Republicans have voted it down several times, at the orders of their leader, Donald J Trump.
There is presently a full-scale attack on our voting system and the Republicans are putting their faith in Donald Trump to save their jobs and careers, by whatever means necessary.
This is where we are on March 24th, 2026.
