Graham Platner [D-Maine] unveils plan to 'shut this White House down,' stop Trump admin from functioning

Platner told MS NOW he wants Trump officials hauled before committees 'day after day after day'

Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner unveiled a plan during an interview on Thursday to "shut this White House down" so that the Trump administration is not able to function.

"Something we’re going to have to do if we’re in the majority [is] we need to use the power we get to shut this White House down," Platner told MS NOW host Jen Psaki during "The Briefing." "We do that, I think one of the best ways is through committee hearings and investigations. I want the Trump Administration not to function, because everyone in the White House is being hauled under subpoena in front of a Senate committee, day after day after day, not just because one, we have so many crimes to investigate at this point, We could probably be doing this for the next 30 years."

Platner said the Democrats need to adopt a "theory of power," and establish goals.

...

Platner said he wanted to wield the power, should the Democrats take back the House and Senate, to keep members of the administration "busy" by bringing them in for investigations.

This fool is a bona fide Nazi who realized too late that his Nazi tattoo was a mistake. So he went and inked over it.

But his words and actions still prove his evil intentions.

Looks like the PSTD Nazi is going to be starting his own banzai insurrection. The boy seems to have a lot of unresolvable mental issues.

He’s already thinking and plotting just like the Communists tend to do. Whatever it takes to grab and hold power will be done or attempted. Never mind how that effects individual American lives and work routines.

Given his lack of authority, it would be more like a bonsai insurrection.

Unfortunately, the average voter votes on whatever he feels right now. No logic. No strategy. No thoughts given to long term consequences. “I don’t like the war.” Or “The price of gas has gone up.” Or “The Democrats are for affordability.” And, frequently, Republican voters have some purity test and say, “He voted for this or that and I won’t hold my nose and vote for him again.” This of course is a vote for whatever nonsense the Democrats want like secret sex changes in schools. Again, no thought to what their lack of vote means to the greater good.

Hasn’t this been the Democrat approach since 2016?

We all know what the inevitable outcome of this is. It may take a while yet, but I really don’t see a peaceful solution. Even with the great success of Trump’s presidency, and the roaring economy just over the horizon, the hate instilled in vulnerable people will not be abated. It is demonic!

I love whiners typing on a $1,200 hand held computer while holding an $8 latte bitching about gas prices.

You are so right.
