I wonder what happens to such bullies as the Dems who strut around, heads in the air, flexing muscles and belittling and threatening all sides?

And making intense enemies?

Maybe it goes on and on and everyone meekly surrenders America to them.

And maybe not.

"The president's dismissal of Attorney General Sessions, and his appointment of Whitaker, who is a complete political lackey, is a real threat to the integrity of that investigation,"

That's rich!

"It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be tomorrow." - Federalist Papers, No. 62, February 27, 1788

They certainly are relentless in their attacks. Every angle, every direction. Non-stop.

They keep throwing everything at Trump, find what rallies the thugs, and run with it.

secured sweeping victories - thru unmitigated fraud is more like.

The margin in the house is 227 to 198
435/29 = 0.06% - a razor thin margin. Certainly no “mandate”

Typically, Republicans kowtow to them in committee and elsewhere, and readily accept the Democrat and media view that Democrat subpoenas are direct orders from God for Republicans to appear. Of course, this is quite unlike the prevailing view of subpoenas from Republicans as stage whispers that can be contemptuously ignored.

Maybe things will be different under President Trump, though I still expect many House Republicans to assume groveling position even during the lame duck session. Certainly Paul Ryan and his homies will be bending in all directions to accede to every whim if they haven't already begun.

The author misspelled ‘stretch’.

Trump tried to nip voter fraud in the bud when first elected but was blocked by the courts.

Let’s hope he learned his lesson on this.

He should respect court opinions as much as Democrats do when it comes to vote integrity.

[Terry Mross]

Whittaker is a political lackey. It’s their hypocracy that pisses me off the most.

[Raycpa]

Best scenario is impeachment vote day after democrats take power.

[Leep]

Obstruct..investigate..generally waste money.
MSM will continue to provide bombastic headlines.

“We are coming to do something that is very important for our country; a more open Congress with accountability to the public, with a seeking bipartisanship where we can find it, stand our ground where we can’t,” she said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

“We are coming to do something that is very bad for our country; a more closed Congress with no accountability to the public, with a seeking partisanship where we can force it, stand on their ground where we can’t,” she said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

That is the formula the Democrats follow when making laws - the founders were so very prescient ...

[JME_FAN]

How soon before we break out the rifles and ammo? We should start a “Doomsday Clock” here on FR, so to set the minutes to the next civil war.

In substance and intent the Dems are Lucifer’s Legions, but over the next two years they will show the GOP how political combat is waged. We might choose to hide under the covers but the fact remains that The Left has been winning every cultural/political/economic contest over the past dozen decades. We now face a polity that s not center-right no matter how much we will posture in that regard. When it comes to the foundational disputes America is and has been a center-left/far-left aggregate for decades. The only arguments are about the pace of devolution.

That is the terrain, it’s not what I want.

[Colo9250]

Go for it, show the Republicans how it is done.

Well Zerohissef laid the blueprint for what to do and not do. On his tax returns, DJT should tell them to pound sand.
He should not refuse to comply on other issues but should slow walk everything. Hopefully the 2 yrs will pass without much damage and maybe gains as at least 5% of folks see what complete and total pieces of shot dumblecrat really are.

[frank ballenger]

Depressing.

Let’s not give up hope.

Yes, a lawsusit to save Acosta filed by the corrupt and contemptible CNN, probably more election races to be upended by newly made choices added onto blank ballots by Dem officials and operatives, anyone who disagrees with them afraid to go into a restaurant or now their own homes. And more by the hour.

Next will be Bill Ayres SDS style bomb threats or actual bombs.

One exploded about 3/4 of a mile from my apt. in 1968 set by a leftist antiestablishment operative. It totally destroyed a building. I had six months earlier decided against an apt. in the house about twenty feet behind it. He went to prison.

The leftists set themselves up as judge and executioners when they actually have low character, barely any knowledge of the world around them, and no right at all to judge us. In the large 60s around here you could often read by the light of burning police cars upside down and stores that had been looted. And I moved from the City of Detroit after the July 1967 riots to be in a more peaceful city. Ha.
