Politics What is happening????

Haven't herd anything from this nut sac recently...
Your little drum circle is goin to prison ass wipe !
10-20 years from now, best watch your back for all the idiocy you sold these folks. By that time some of them will be seriously pissed off they missed a few of their kids birthdays, and they'll all know how to carry a knife in their ass hole.

Why this fuck hasn't been deported is beyond me

 

What did Ken Paxton do to PO so many Texas Republicans?

Texas AG Ken Paxton's Impeachment Trial Will Test State Republicans

As far as I can tell Paxton has been getting paid for doing nothing, his official pay & duties, that is. Unofficially he's been a busy boy.

This should be very interesting.

 

This could go in every NPD Trump trial thread, but since it's general, here it goes.

Trump’s co-defendants are already starting to turn against him

Not new news, but it does show how slowly but surely some of the defendants are realizing NPD Trump is looking out for NPD Trump. They should also realize their attorney(s) being (edit to add paid) by NPD Trump's PAC, and probably the GOP partially in some way, only care about protecting Agent Orange #45.

 

Peter Navarro, second ex-Trump aide to be prosecuted for contempt of Congress, faces trial Tuesday | CNN Politics

This' a very important trial that seems to be flying too low on the news media radar.

Congressional subpoenas should have teeth to encourage compliance. In the case of NPD Trump as POTUS I think it's clear he & his aides were discussing & plotting illegal criminal activities which should not be covered under Executive Privelage.

OTOH congressional subpoenas should not be issued without substantive backing showing a very high likelihood of criminal activity.

One easy response is if a person has nothing to hide then honoring the subpoena shouldn't be a problem. But people are human. Digging in your heels when being dragged into something you oppose is a normal response.

The other major issue in the trial is can a POTUS legally instruct an aide to ignore a congressional subpoena under Executive Privelage? I think the courts have been clear that criminal activity isn't privelaged. That's hard to determine if you can't find out what was discussed.

The Navarro trial, & the Bannon appeal, should prove interesting.

 

Don’t Be Fooled by the Legislature’s Tough Talk About Ken Paxton

Texas Senate rejects all motions to dismiss Ken Paxton impeachment charges

Texas AG Ken Paxton pleads not guilty at impeachment trial then leaves as arguments get underway

I'll believe his impeachment when it is official, final, & he's out.

Excellent.

Now let's move up the food chain to get the bigger puppetmasters.

 

Ya I think Navarro is being upstaged by other stuff -no shortage there really.
And the rest of it, yeah I agree too.

 

Some articles I've read say the Texas Repubs pulling the strings don't want Paxton in the position to run for Governor once Greg Abbott decides to step aside.

While it would be extremely difficult for a Dem to get elected Gov in Texas, Paxton as the Repub candidate would bring an abundance of baggage to the race.

The clear Repub heir apparent, Lt Gov Dan Patrick, has a watching paint dry personality (worse than Abbott's). To date any skeletons in his closet have remained there, and/or have been accepted by TX voters.

 

White House set for Hunter Biden battle as Republicans look to pounce

I'm glad to hear the White House is pre-preparing (that's not a typo) for the forthcoming HOR impeachment effort.

Why can't the Senate repubs, who see this failing, get the HOR repubs to drop it? Is this evidence of more disarray in the GOP?

McCarthy says "...if we could see the evidence...." OK, I'm game, I'd love to the evidence that justifies an impeachment effort against Joe Biden.

 

That will be attacked as yet another effort at WOKEism by the communist left wing liberal Democrats.

What can the Dems, and Biden, do? Talking about supporting Democracy is preaching to the choir (and needs to be done).

What actual actions can be taken?

 

Splat the really slow ones.
Spray the slow ones.
Set out poison traps for the fast ones.

That could work against maga terrorists.

 

A nice op-ed piece illustrating how the GOP, & voters, have helped Ken Paxton maintain his Teflon coating.

The good news is he might actually get tossed...but only because some Repubs are tired of him.

 

A good in-depth article on how our political & judicial system has been slowly but steadily poisoned.

What Ginni Thomas and Leonard Leo wrought: How a justice’s wife and a key activist started a movement

We can't legislate every possible issue, & some flexibility is needed, but when we leave loopholes some people are going to take advantage of them.

 

As long as it doesn't end up being voted on in the US Senate.

 

Absolutely.

I'm thinking the (possible) actions with real teeth end up being left to the Senate. Where, as we have seen ad nauseum, partisan politics (can) kill justified actions.

 

It's a shame the security footage from the Denver theatre didn't catch Boebert hitting her pipe, or feeding her nose through a straw.

Edit: Boebert & Green (actually Greene & Boebert because of Greene's highly elevated testosterone level) could start their own third party. I like Privelaged & Entitled Party (PEP).
