Here’s my take. He says he will enforce the subpoena. Question: What is the count currently of subpoenas that this gang has totally ignored——and what has happened to any of them?!?!?!?! NOTHING! I am “almost” to the point of being as pissed at the Dems as I am at the Repubs. They are ALL talk and NO action. We all KNOW if this were reversed, the jail would be full of Dems because the R’s would not tolerate this behavior. Yet, the Dems warn and threaten and warn and threaten, wash, rinse, repeat…….and DO nothing. AARGH!!!!!!!! Rant over.
They are hamstrung by following the rule of law, protecting our democracy, listening to counsel and dealing with unprecedented displays of pathology on the part of the GOP. I am not sure the GOP was a solid block of corruption before. The GOP is not restricted by any of those things and can count on Democrats being sane, and healthy which means having a conscience for one. We need to be careful and also bold which Schiff always has been. Turns out we need to strengthen our laws but always with an eye for how they might be corrupted and used to harm people if the wrong type of leaders are elected. Sociopaths I mean like we have in the GOP today.
To the purity posse of 2016 now lamenting our mess today: It isn't as if Obama didn't explain what was at stake for our democracy. "Tolerance is on the ballot; Democracy is on the ballot; JUSTICE is on the ballot." H/T to my friend @_EthanGrey for the clip https://t.co/Hi5uIfPGTe
The story so far:
After Pompeo accused Iran of being behind an alleged drone attack on Saudi Arabia, Tehran denied it and Iran Foreign Minister Zarif described Pompeo of turning to “max deceit”. So
TRUMP:
1) Authorized the use of the U.S. Emergency Oil Reserve.
2) Told agencies to expedite approval of OIL PIPLELINES IN THE PERMITTING PROCESS IN TX + other states.
(https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/461514-trump-us-locked-and-loaded-following-saudi-attacks)
—Trump says he is “waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack”. Seems OK with whatever Saudi Arabia tells him!
–Has anything actually been confirmed? Either way looks like Trump is making an opportunist response by skirting U.S. regulations on behalf of big oil.
Herr Trumpler bragged that the U S military is locked and loaded to strike Iran . This idiot has no clue how dangerous these words are . The Iranians would lash out at Americans everywhere in the region with devastating effect . The Orange Moron is more unstable than ever .
Trump said in a tweet that the U.S. is 'locked and loaded' after attacks on Saudi oil facilities but is waiting to hear from Saudi officials "as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!" https://t.co/kRZ87uQGlJ
Morning everyone. Makes you wonder why he opposed them, doesn’t it?
BREAKING: During the transition, Trump opposed Obama's sanctions against Russia for *hacking FBI communications at the highest level.* IMPEACH. https://t.co/ynCWjpegcp
Mike Pence formally endorses a Republican in Kansas who is accused of sexually assaulting an acquaintance, who also faced allegations during his last race for lying about his qualifications. https://t.co/JlSJOlVCmu
So now the murderer MBS is in charge? Fucking moron. He gets more dangerous by the second.
As everyone knows, Article I of the US Constitution clearly states that the power to declare war is vested with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.https://t.co/S6rIXK5eme

Standing in solidarity with auto workers as union contract negotiations continue for higher wages & new products at underutilized plants. There is nothing more powerful than workers coming together to stand up for their rights & the dignity they deserve.https://t.co/796uXHcHk9
Unions have organized, marched, negotiated, and gone on strike — all to ensure dignity and rights for working people. You don't have to be a member of a union to benefit from the work of organized labor.
Auto workers deserve good wages, comprehensive benefits, and economic security. I stand with @UAW as they strike to get what they deserve, and urge GM to come to the table and negotiate in good faith. https://t.co/VRmL7VzSzt
The UAW made concessions to GM back in 2008 to help them, now 10 years later executives are sitting on record profits and refuse to return the favor. Shameful!
My grandfather was an assembly line worker & @UAW union rep outside of Detroit who showed me the power of collective action as a force to improve lives & right injustice. I stand with UAW workers in their fight for fair wages, better benefits & reversal of plant closures. https://t.co/zgXmm0m8jw

Wow … Trumpers and those who sat out, did not vote Dems or voted for Stein etc … got themselves new CIC.
Foreign policy now … who knows? Maybe women’s rights to drive will be later. I hope the likes of Susan Sarandon are rich enough to afford a chauffeur … of course I am only kidding folks. I am sure being a movie star she can afford it.
1. North Carolina GOP Sen. Alexander walks into the redistricting room and discovers that his district has been made competitive. 2. He quietly slices up the district to cut out Democratic voters. 3. He gets caught. 4. He announces his retirement. https://t.co/dJRfuLhxGY
Chairman Nadler: “Impeachment is imperative not because he’s going to be removed from office.
The Senate won’t do that. But because we have to vindicate the Constitution…”
“We have to show that this kind of behavior — trashing the Constitution, trashing all the norms which guarantee democratic government, aggrandizing power to the presidency and destroying the separation of powers and thereby leading the president to become more and more of a tyrant cannot be tolerated.

“We have to make sure the next president or the one after him or her knows there’s a real penalty to be paid. That’s why the impeachment is necessary, even if we cannot get a vote in the Senate, in my opinion.”

The Manhattan DA who subpoenaed Trump's taxes is Cy Vance. Vance is known for protecting elite criminals. Among those he aided are Weinstein, Epstein, Strauss-Kahn, and Donald Jr and Ivanka Trump. Temper your expectations. https://t.co/DNPKgo18jY
Back when Cy Vance was declining to indict powerful people in exchange for campaign donations, he was doing it in the dark. No one knew. No one was watching him. Now EVERYONE is watching him. It’s 100% different.
For that matter, Vance is in danger of being indicted himself after Trump is gone, for the alleged bribes he took. Vance’s only way out of this is to prove himself useful enough in taking Trump down, no one prosecutes him afterward.
Today’s news confirmed that Trump will spend the rest of his life in prison. His life is over. That’s set in stone. The big question is WHEN Trump will be indicted: now, or a few seconds after he leaves office? If the fatalists when shut up, we could talk about the timing 😁
