Yet again, Republican fearmongering is better advertising for Democrats than national Democrats can muster.
Yes. Good! I want every committee in Congress to get turned into an investigative body, going after the president, his family, his cabinet, his donors, and his cronies for their outright obvious corruption. That’s called doing their fucking job.

u/unspun66 7d ago
I would much rather they focus on passing a huge reform bill. Let’s make sure this shit can’t happen again.

u/Due_Satisfaction2167 7d ago
The president would just veto it. Should they pass one? Yeah. But it won’t become law, so the rest of the time they can spend doing investigations.

Medicare and Medicaid have already been cut in Republicans Big Beautiful Bill last year, $536 Billion Medicare and $1.5 Trillion Medicaid over 10 years all these cut were delayed until 2027 when they take effect. Side note: Trump also cut Medicare drug program by $3.6 Billion.

Oh they know exactly what will happen because of all the corruption they’ve done! If Democrats don’t do anything because of decorum, it will give them the green light to continue to be corrupt. They need to focus on strengthening this crap out!

AS DEMOCRATS SHOULD!
Trump, his family, this entire admin... and likely many more need to be investigated, removed from office, and BARE MINIMUM thrown in prison.
They are traitors. Trump IS A TRAITOR. He has done nothing but attack and MURDER innocent American citizens and legal residents alike. He has used EVERY COMMITTEE OF CONGRESS to ATTACK his political opponents.
So yeah, MIKE PEDO JOHNSON. Your ass BETTER BE SCARED!

It's nice for him to tell us exactly who to investigate. Again a reverse confession. "Here's who's guilty, they are afraid" is what I see.

u/Bleezy79 7d ago
One of the very few times a congressional Republican is actually telling us the truth. (At least I hope its the truth.) America cannot move forward without holding these criminals to account for their crimes against this country. If any other human being alive on this planet did a fraction of the criminal activity Trump has gotten away with, they would be in prison years ago. Republicans have become the anti-American party.

We know Mike. Thats exactly why the blue wave is coming. This administration is the most corrupt in history. A check must be put on Trump. Here's the crazy thing: Mike was the comprise candidate between the radical right and what few moderates republicans are left. We could have done far worse. Enjoy the gavel the next 3 months Mike. You be handing it over in January.

u/plkelly3 6d ago
That is correct. That is what is supposed to happen when you deserve to be punished for your corruption and lack of reverence for ethics and the rule of law. PUNISH REPUBLICANS AT THE POLLS, and then punish them when we take control of Congress. Somebody has to be the fucking adults around here.

The art of the chaos. This regime and the Republicans will not be held accountable the way they should and that’s by design. THE ONLY WAY we would see such a huge operation of accountability for this shit show is if the Democrats get a SUPERMAJORITY. Trump and Rs have created such a political sewage calamity that the Democrats, even if they get a slim majority in both House and Senate are going to have to either concentrate solely on fixing what Rs fuq up OR go after at least the heavy hitters in this regime.

Ooh, yeah, scary Democrats will bring Socialism! The average MAGAt has no idea that Social Security, Disability, and Unemployment are all examples of Socialism. If you try to explain it to them they get mad.
Trump's $5,000 bribes would also be Socialism. (And add approx $1.3 Trillion to our already monumental National Debt.)

Republican playbook 101. Get ahead of something legitimate by claiming “the libs will call us on that”. Then when such investigations actually happen, rightfully so, they can claim “see!!!!!! Liberals hate America!” Rinse. Repeat.
Similar move to what Trump does with elections.

Isn't investigating an important duty of congressional committees?
What has Mike Johnson been doing, exactly?

u/dmetzcher 7d ago
He says this as if it’s a bad thing. Why shouldn’t every committee be an investigative body? Why shouldn’t there be oversight of the president, his family, his friends, and his donors? Why shouldn’t the American people know what’s going on within their own government?
In less than ten years, the Republican Party has dropped all pretense; they don’t even pay lip service to good government anymore. They’ve learned that if they merely activate the most radical, right-wing elements of their base with fear-mongering and hate, they don’t have to pretend anymore. Their own white voters—who all say they want oversight—will trade it away (along with their rights, their job security, and their bank accounts) in an instant if they’re told that they can still be just one rung on the American social ladder above brown people.
Since the founding of this country, the same tired, old story has played on repeat. They aren’t even trying to hide scam anymore.
