It would seem that they were waiting to vote ACB out of committee first. Didn’t really matter what they did because the Democrats boycotted the committee vote on ACB anyway.

Call them in, pound the desk, whine and cry impotently.

All good theater.

Oooooh a subpoena! That'll stop FascistBook and TwitterTyrants from shadow-banning conservatives! That'll stop 'em from blocking the President's and his cabinets' posts! That'll stop 'em from removing thousands of conservatives' accounts!

RIGHT.

So, they actually decided to do it. Still moving at snail’s speed. Bunch of worthless slugs.

Every little drip helps. Big tech might be getting a little nervous as they see Biden implode. When do they double down and block Trump’s twitter feed?

It’s a step up from a stern letter...

How about some criminal referrals to FBI/DOJ...?

Oh yeah....RIGHT!

“When do they double down and block Trump’s twitter feed?”

That’s a risk that doesn’t have enough reward. Blocking Trump’s twitter feed may not result in a Biden win. And if it doesn’t, there will be serious punishment, given a freshly re-elected President Trump with no worries about future elections.

What are the chances these limp-wristed RINO candy asses require there testimony under oath? Probably less than zero; although it really doesn’t matter either way, as these gutless, ball-less wastes of skin didn’t do anything to Comey, Brennen or Clapper for lying under oath. Just more... “let’s pretend”.

The censors at Twitter are citizens of the Peoples Republic of China. Their families in China are at risk if they do not do exactly what the Chinese Communist Party demands. Dorsey has no real control. Trump must make it very clear tp the Chinese government that this interference in the American election is intolerable and that there will be severe consequences for the Chinese. The censors at Facebook are probably Chinese nationals as well.

Anthony “Dr. Doom” Fauci has been subpoenaed multiple times, and by my count has been asked precisely SIX pointed questions. Five of those by Rand Paul.

I won’t hold my breath.

Crazy day. Looks like a coordinated effort to overwhelm Trump with ammunition as he goes after Joe tonight. Have you seen this yet?

Bobulinski’s documents might end up being the kill shot.

If nothing else, it beats the optics of “Republicans fail to follow through threatened subpoenas”. With this cascade of bad news, the average voter will see this as significant even though we know it won’t go anywhere. Today the news isn’t drip, drip, drip but rather buckets at a time.

I think there is something bigger going on here. If Trump loses the election, he still has 77 days to drain the swamp. If the Republicans hold the senate and take the house, it is still game over for the Democrats.

With 77 days, indictments against all the coup plotters can be issued, every media outlet who lied about Trump could wind up in court alongside twitter and facebook and as a poison pill, the fairness doctrine can be implemented, this time favoring the people and not the rats.

My bet is Trump already has a project plan for this and he is just waiting until November 5th to implement his plan. What the left and deep state did to Trump over the last four years will not be forgotten.

It's from 2017, unlike Hunter's influence peddling in 2014. It could also be a distraction.
