    Did Congress Read the Mueller Report?

    What percentage of the US Congress has read the Mueller Report? https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/politics/who-read-the-mueller-report/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.2e20b3416a4a "Rep. Justin Amash broke ranks with fellow Republicans when he said special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s...

    Let’s speculate USMB. Why is trump so freaked out about his financials being exposed?

    Let’s speculate USMB. Why is trump so freaked out about his financials being exposed? So far every court is saying that the Congress has oversight over the executive branch as written in the constitution. I’m not exactly sure why Republicans support him keeping everything secret. Do they...

    Which Questions Would You Ask Mueller?

    Assuming the grifters and grafters currently running the Executive Branch decide to permit Robert Mueller to testify before Congress, which questions should Democrats or Republican members pose, and which questions would you ask if given the chance? For example, I've wondered who decided to end...

    Did members of congress commit felonies: Witness Tampering and Obstruction? Could be!

    Turns out Michael Flynn gave Robert Mueller a smoking gun about Donald Trump NBC says that this tampering was done by people in the Trump White House and unnamed people in Congress, which opens a whole new can of worms. Flynn told Mueller all about these efforts while they were going on. It...

    Are you watching this congressional committee and their discussion over Barr’s contempt citation?

    I think it’s totally shocking the Republicans are defending Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election. What is going on? When did this happen? Right now Louis Gohmert is saying that Democrats are on the wrong side of history and that it was the Democrats who worked with Russia to get Trump...

    Congressional oversight

    The Dims love throwing this out there to justify their plethora of investigations into the current administration. Just what the heck is it? And what authorizes it? Here’s what Wiki says: Congressional oversight is oversight by the United States Congress over the Executive Branch, including...

    Why Republicans and the president are trying to force Democrats in the house to impeach Trump.

    Why Republicans and the president are trying to force Democrats in the house to impeach Trump. There’s been this fantasy that after Republicans impeached Bill Clinton for lying about a BJ, that somehow Republicans lost politically. Even though the very next election year they won the...

    Is there a thread about William Barr today's ongoing session in front of the Senate? Then this is it

    If one exists, I couldn't find it. They are coming back from break shortley. To me, the most Hilarious line was when Chuck Grassley asked William Barr if the Steele Dossier was a Russian "plant".

    Why Democrats could be in Serious Trouble!

    Not just Democrats, Republicans that don't vote to stop invaders as well! You see, it's part of their job as they took an oath to uphold the Constitution. What does the Constitution say about invaders? Article IV, Section IV Section 4 "The United States shall guarantee to every State in...

    Equality Act Introduced in Congress

    I thought that "Law and Justice " would be an appropriate forum for this news article. There is still far to much discrimination against LGBTQ people . Despite the gains that have been made, many states do not prohibit discrimination in housing, employment and places of public accommodation...

    It's Time For Trump To Exercise His Article 2 Powers

    The President, under Article 2, Section 3 has the authority to convene one or both houses of Congress in extraordinary circumstances. He could use these powers to keep Congress in DC instead of leaving to go home. Article 2, Section 3 He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information...

    Democrat House should pass much of their 2020 platform NOW!!

    Democrat House should pass much of their 2020 platform NOW!! The Democrat House caucus should have begun deciding upon their 2020 platform planks. The Democratic majority House caucus should try to pass their most popular planks with no regard to the Republican majority Senate. If Republicans...

    Let's make a list of the questions we want Congress to ask Michael Cohen:

    Do you have more tapes? Cohen already produced one tape proving Trump lied about payoffs to porn stars. Why is there a record of your phone in Eastern Europe after you said you were never there? This would support Trump's continued business dealings with Russia. What happened to the many...

    Congressional Slush Fund to pay off Prostitutes, Mistresses, and Sexual Assault Victims

    I think it is time President Trump Orders the AG to do a full blown investigation in to how much money the taxpayers have had to pay to keep hookers, mistresses, and sexual assault victims silent. I bet The BARNEY FRANK BILL IS ENORMOUS! Congressional secret fund to pay off sexual harassment...

    Will Congress pass Diane Feinstein's "OPEN BORDERS" Bill?

    From Trump's last Rally: “Every single Democrat in the U.S. Senate has signed up for the open borders – and it’s a bill. And it’s called The Open Borders Bill. What’s going on? And it’s written by – guess who – Dianne Feinstein.” About Feinstein and Open Borders ----------------------------...

    The Republican Congress finally does something

    It has been effective in Texas. Let’s hope that it will be effective for federal prisons as well. These are the types of issues that we should be focusing on. Bi-partisan issues that can reduce costs. Focus on what can get done, accept what cannot (like firearm legislation). House-Passed...

    President Trump Needs To Force Congress To Act On Syria

    Syria is Congress’ Problem and The Previous Adminstration’s Problem. It was Rice, Kerry, Obama and Clinton who brought Russia in to Syria to deal with Chemical Weapons instead of dealing with them directly. Instead Russia helped Syria build Military Bases while Congress did nothing. Congress...

    Mark Zuckerberg testimony: Key moments from Facebook CEO's day in the hot seat

    Where did Zuck sleep last night? (And other key moments from Senate grilling) I was pretty surprised at Zuckerberg's reaction to being asked if he'd be willing to share the name of the hotel where he's staying or the names of the people he's messaged this week - there in front of a televised...

    Republicans deserve what they get

    The left loves to declare that President Trump has done “nothing” when in fact he has done everything he is constitutionally responsibile for (and very successfully I might add). It has been the Republican Congress that has done nothing. They talked such a big game in 2010. They promised they...

    We made Donald Fucking Trump president. What more can we do?

    Washington DC is disconnected from the American people on no issue like immigration. They need to stop reading the Washington Post. Congress has tried to sneak through amnesties three times in a little more than a decade. Every time, the American people somehow found out—despite the best...
