Trumps just testing the waters to see which Congressmen are loyal and which he still needs to get some kompromat on, so he's not stopped when he enacts the real fasc-ie stuff.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Can a freedom of information request bypass this?
Next up: Congress and/or the Supreme Court overturns the Freedom of Information Act on the grounds it compromises national security and hurts their feelings.
It's clearly an attack on Conservatives and weaponization of facts! /s
It's LAWFARE, is what it is, you GUYZ!

Someone with a shred of ethics on this ethics committee better fucking leak this.
The leaks have started.
Two credible witnesses stated to the panel they saw Gaetz fuck a kid.
But don't say - or imply - that he's a kid-fucker, because, they were 17 or something? I'm still not understanding that argument...
Here ya go people, these are the ones you gotta call:
Democrats
Ranking Member Susan Wild, Pennsylvania
Veronica Escobar, Texas
Mark DeSaulnier, California
Deborah K. Ross, North Carolina
Glenn F. Ivey, Maryland
Wild is out next year, so just maybe. Come on, Susan, put that donation to work!
I love how he throws up the excuse, "...that is not the way we do things in the House,..." as tho' propriety or social or even governmental norms mean anything whatsoever to him or the rest of the GOP.
And then this reversal after nearly 24 hours go by, "Johnson’s comments also mark a reversal after he said on Thursday, “the speaker is not involved with what happens in ethics. Lots of important reasons for that.”Johnson’s comments also mark a reversal after he said on Thursday, “the speaker is not involved with what happens in ethics. Lots of important reasons for that.”
Of note is that he had a sit-down with Dear Leader before that 180 on "...the speaker is not involved with what happens in ethics. Lots of important reasons for that."
Only needs to "make sense" in the moment. And only to certain people. Everyone else can get fucked. And don't be bringing up my past statements! (these are not my own personal beliefs)
Speaker Johnson can go fuck himself.
Nah. His son will get an alert and that will just be even weirder.
Meanwhile he fervently supports a man that bangs pornstars
Okay, but what the literal fuck.
They're accoutabilibuddies.
"People can't know who we are and all the crimes we commit, it would be devastating!"
Along the same lines, "we've investigated ourselves and our allies and we cannot allow the report to see the light of day ".
Y’all ok with that huh.
Nope.
Yeah, I mean, not really, if I'm honest.
Then why aren't you guys using your second amendment to do something about it huh? People from the US keep arguing with the rest of the world that the second amendment is important but clearly you guys are all talk no walk, it's just an excuse to compensate for something by owning a bunch of guns, not a way to guarantee that you will be able to defend yourself against the tyranny of the government.
It's been a week. Let them cook!
Trump was nearly assassinated twice this year-- 3 times if you count the Iranian plot that didn't get out of the planning phase.
