It’s only because GOP Senators choose to follow ancient, arcane rules, instead of exercising majority power, that such things occur.

The democrats need to hear from us as they did on election day before they sue this country back to october 2024

Trump’s supporters/MAGA is BIG and was heard on election day now they need to be heard again thru phone messages, emails (politicians do read them), commenting in their social media posts on Facebook, Twitter (X). The MAGA numbers can be overwhelming. No matter what the issue, let your Reps know where you stand.

According to the UK Daily Mail (not perfect but light years better than most US “newspapers”): ‘If people in that report are still fighting to keep their names private, they have no legal basis to do so unless they’re a child, a victim or a cooperating defendant in a potential case against Ghislaine Maxwell,’ Bondi said in the January 3 interview [with Fox News].

Insightful freeper, poconopundit, on Kash Patel’s terrific book,
“Government Gangsters” had these cogent observations that echo USAID corruption:

<><>... the fastest way to move up in govt is to screw
up, and the bigger the screw up, the bigger the promotion.

<><>Every person implicated in your mistakes has an interest
in covering up what they did, so they will promote you.

<><>The people at the very top are usually the most immoral, unethical people in the entire agency.

I missed what allowed the RATs to push this ? With Repubs in the majority, how does this happen ?

What process did they use to delay it? Why can’t the Repukes just ram him through?

Yup. I was thinking that with Tulsi at intel. Why do the acting directors have to be squishes? Put Gaetz in as acting Director or Flynn or Bannon. Give them incentive to get on with it.

Yes but it would discourage them from doing it over and over. Not on this vote but on all votes. Make them stay in session.

A serious question. If they refuse to vote Patel out of committee is it at all likely the following will happen?

“.. but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.”

My understanding is that any committee member can delay the process to leave the committee and advance to the floor by 7 days. That’s what happened to Pam Bondi.

Democrat Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and others to force Patel to testify again were “baseless”.

Democrats are still elevator shaft diving won’t be many left to jail soon.

Yeah, like the Christmas Eve 2010 ramming Obamacare down our throats, when everyone was feeling warm and fuzzy.
Walk over them wearing cleats. No prisoners.
