Good! They've faced NO consequences for their dirty doings.

I guess this is what you might call Citizen Justice then.

I like Kurt Eichenwald.

I trust his reporting. I remember during the campaign when he’d reported on seeking the opposition research on one candidate. I’d already read about a lot of that stuff even though it had not received much press attention. He detailed a lot of the same stuff. Said it was in a stack of papers and binders that was two feet tall.

Excellent. Great that you called your reps!

That’s the best part!

GOOD!!! No justice, no peace.

That’s true civilian democracy at work. Too damn bad if they can’t enjoy their luxurious meals in peace. They’re still getting off easy, if you ask me.

I LOVE hearing these stories! It’s probably the only real justice they face. For now. It’s about time these fiends faced consequences for their actions. Even if it’s only unofficial and “non-pro”-based.

Consider where these assholes are and the atmosphere and people and bias that surrounds them. They’re inside THIS utterly contaminated White House. They’re willingly and deeply mired in a pro-trump/Pox Noise environment and scalp-deep in it. They have blinders almost surgically attached. They’re thoroughly insulated from the real world where the opposition to what they’re up to is ALIVE and WELL. Where they are, it’s probably easy to fall into the belief that the objection is some kind of “fake news” or all made up by a few sore losers.

So when they get confronted, face-on, by the alive-and-well opposition that can’t be dismissed as some organized insider operatives or paid agitators, then they’re knocked off their game. The usual responses, haughty public sneers, and smug dismissals don’t work out here in the real world - that’s filled with millions - millions MORE than what their guy got - who didn’t vote for their boss, know better than to swallow his ever-present lies, and won’t ever fall in line to support him. They’re not used to that, and they don’t know what to do or how to respond. This doesn’t fit the template from which they’re operating.

This pushes them off their game.

This is GOOD. VERY GOOD! MORE, please!!!

VOTE, DAMMIT!

That’s the only way we can take back the House and put people like Adam Schiff in the chairmanship of these important committees. Maxine Waters would chair her committee, too. OUR people would be in charge of all the committed in the House of Reps, and the CONS couldn’t do squat.

WE would lead.
WE would set the agenda.
WE would have the chairmanships AND the majority votes in those committees.
WE would have the power of the subpoena, and finally be able to compel witnesses and testimony.
And the bad guys would have - - - ? SQUAT. That’s what they’d have. Let them be the ones shunted off to the sidelines where all they can do is watch and whine.

And how do we achieve this? By getting ourselves and everyone we can assist to the polls to VOTE, DAMMIT!

WE have the numbers. WE are more numerous than the bad guys are. And I bet WE will have more genuine independents voting with US this time, too.

You can only cheat the vote and game the system when it’s a close vote. Much harder when the numbers are big, and all running against you.

Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
