1. Doesn't matter

They’re all rotten to the core.

[cynatnite]

3. Not saying that. I want to know if I need to call my rethug rep. n/t

[Raster]

5. I believe Andy Biggs of Arizona is part of the cabal...

...just tried to call his Capital office, and the email inbox is full and not accepting any further calls.

[Eliot Rosewater]

6. This is another way to signal to their idiot base that violence is OK.

BIG problems ahead, when Putin shuts down our power grid on election day, which of the 3 candidates will win?

2. Rs are the party of lawlessness. They are the epitome of people who believe

they are above the law.

[sinkingfeeling]

4. I want all their names.

[Raster]

7. I also want all of their names...

... THIS. IS. WAR.

8. Sorry to say the Dem's arn't gonna do a thing but bitch about it..

As usual we bring a hot dish to a knife fight.. Come on... arrest someone!!!

Didn't bid dick Cheney lock the dems out of a energy discussion way back???

"Democrats on Capitol Hill challenged the secrecy of the process surrounding the task force, which has met eight times in the last 90 days. Counsel responded that it did not have to provide information about the process Environmental groups have requested documentation about task force meetings under the Freedom of Information Act, but so far those have been denied.

9. Nonsense. You don't know that.

What purpose does fatalism and self- defeat serve anyone here?

[mitch96]

11. I get pissed at missed opportunity

I think what is called fatalism is proven by history. Self defeat? Yes if nothing gets done.. I think it would be more along motivation...... YMMV works for me..

14. They couldn't be arrested in Congress since they are members.

There is a Constitutional provision against arresting them. Being led off on handcuff is exactly what they wanted because that would have meant the democrats violated the Constitution, which is EXACTLY the talking point they want to invalidate the depositions.

We can't fucking play into their games because we want our Reps to stomp the shit out of them. We run the risk of giving up the high ground that we have gained.

12. What could the Dems do but wait them out?

There is a constitutional provision that Members of Congress can't be arrested when in the Halls of Congress, even the basement.

After today my guess is Speaker Pelosi post Capitol police officers at the entrance of the secure area and only those members with business there get in.

13. got it, thanks.... nt

10. Wonder what would happen if we stormed their offices?

Just sayin...….

[Blue_true]

15. Citizens? We would get arrested.

But AOC and other members can storm and occupy their offices without consequence. The problem is what will that gain us but the primal satisfaction of watching that transpire on video?

[The empressof all]

16. It would accomplish nothing in the long run...You are right.

But that visceral satisfaction would sure feel sweet for a few moments.

Overall the Democrats handled this like the competent adults and those fools just looked like the idiots in this case.

[Blue_true]

17. They look like fools. They are on the defense tonight, not our Reps.

The Dems played this perfectly.
