(12,586 posts)Isn't that what happened when Obama had a Democratic House and Senate? Pelosi wouldn't pursue criminal investigations into Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld war crimes, Obama couldn't get anything close to Medicare-for-all passed, and the Repugs almost completely neutered his attempt to pull the U.S. out of the economic crisis that Bush had created.
When the Democratic Party called seeking funds before the election, I told them they hadn't shown any leadership. They said, "We don't have a majority." After Obama and a Democratic Congress was elected, they called and asked for more money. When I asked why they hadn't done anything about healthcare, the environment, Medicare, protecting Social Security, they said, "We don't have the right kind of majority."
I told them to go fuck themselves.

What's that thing about karma?
Anyway, this is just a scare tactic to whip up the demoralized GOP members of Congress. If they did any interview, voted on, spoke to, etc. on any of these issues...their names will be dragged into an investigation, according to the threat. Many have probably just "accepted fate" and haven't done much to fight for themselves or other colleagues. So their trying to scare them into "fighting".

(23,957 posts)Hurricane response in Puerto Rico -- they must have some understanding of how inadequate it was for it to even be on the list, somehow things were botched badly. i guess they don't want to know how?
Election security -- why is this a partisan issue? everyone has an interest in this, why shouldn't we have more secure elections?
one learns much about another from what they hate and fear. what saddens me most is how surprised i am by items on their list -- it's like finding out the neighbor with whom you had frequent disagreements was murdered and a serial killer moved into their vacant home.

(14,492 posts)Repugs will spin every one of those issues into a badge of honor to their voter base.
Just think about those items and what you would likely hear on Faux News and from Sarah Huckabuck about them. The hurricane response will be spun to be the greatest ever and non-release of tax reports will find justification somewhere in the Bible.
