    House votes to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt for defying a subpoena for the recording of the Hur/Biden interview.

    DOJ issues a 57 page memo saying Garland can't be prosecuted.

    The House has the only explicit constitutional authority to investigate and prosecute (via impeachment) a sitting President. The DOJ is a subordinate of the Executive.

    The Executive branch is refusing a subpoena from the Legislative branch. The DOJ has sent Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon to jail for doing precisely what the AG is doing - defying a congressional subpoena.

    I thought no one was above the law?

    Frankly, were I Speaker, I'd send the House Sergeant at Arms (who is a law enforcement officer and has nationwide jurisdiction) and the Capitol Police (who do not work for the executive), to arrest Garland.

    Try to keep up? You can't even keep up with the context of the preceding post.

    Another *yawn*.

    Bless your heart.

    Is that more innuendo?

    I know you're gender fluid (and lord knows what else), but I'm a happily married heterosexual male.

    Chuck, of the 8 or so troll posts you made today, this one makes the least sense.

    I won't bother with the others. It's too easy and you just get triggered.

    Back on topic.

    From Axios:

    “House Democratic leadership is bringing out the big guns against a Republican bill set to be voted on next week that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections, Axios has learned.”

    Republicans want to pass a bill that only American citizens can vote in American elections, but Democrats oppose it. They complain about onerous proof, but it was the Obama administration that made States issue “Real ID”, which requires proof of citizenship or lawful immigration status.

    Common sense will also tell you that our Democratic Republic is in danger with guy who is most probable to President in 2025 talks about being a dictator for "just day on" and talks about setting aside the Constitution.

    It is interesting to note that Biden has not used his pardoning powers to pardon his son. Do you think there is any chance in hell that if Trump were President and his son committed a crime the President could pardon that he wouldn't do it?

    I agree that only American citizens should be allowed to vote. As for requiring ID, I'd be for it if reasonable financial aid and transportation were provided so the poor and disable and what not would be able to get the required ID.

    See, there’s more of that gaslighting the media did to you. Why didn’t this supposed wannabe dictator do all these things when he actually was President? They also said he wouldn’t leave the White House, but he did.

    Do you think he is waiting the election to be over first ? Win or lose then he pardons his son? Time will tell.

    Hannity asked “the media says you’re going to be a dictator…”. Trump jokingly replied “only for one day, I’m going to shut down the border, and drill baby drill”

    Then the media gaslights you, and you go along with it “See! He even said he was going to be a dictator!”

    How many hoaxes have they perpetrated on you at this point?

    Ah Warbler....ever the hypocrite.

    How about if I post a quote which suggests there is a need to set aside the Constitution.
    It can be found in the Trump Immunity thread and chirps in at #13
    "Yeah, a Constitutional Amendment is unlikely to happen. But still it is looking like we need to have a Constitutional Convention to take care of the problems with the Constitution shown in the last 8 years by Trump. "

    And who is the author of this post which calls for a setting aside of the Constitution??
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know......THAT'S different.
    Sheesh!
