He may or may not have the votes, but he certainly doesn't have the evidence. However, that no longer seems relevant for Republicans.

They believe in the rule of law, just like they believe in Jesus. More of a mascot than a coach.

I guess things haven't changed that much.

"We cannot have an alleged foreign agent in the United States Senate."

Wouldn't they have to expel quite a few Republicans?

Well I guess Gaetz finally screwed someone over 18.

18 U.S.C. § 922(d)(1) makes it a federal crime to sell a firearm to a person who is under felony indictment.

And 18 U.S.C. § 922(n) makes it a federal crime for a person under indictment to ship or transport a firearm.

Those "20%" raises are spread over 4 years which averages to ~5%/year, barely keeping ahead of inflation. The media throwing that out without quantifying it is a blatant attempt by the corporate press to breed animosity towards the unions and paint them as greedy.

Wouldn't encouraging cession mean MTG is now encouraging active rebellion against the United States? And wouldn't that make her ineligible to hold office under the 14th amendment?

Let's get that lawsuit roll'in.

Now let's get back to net neutrality and rules on social media.

I love that Republicans continue to liken our criminal justice system to those of a banana republic when, in fact, these individuals have been properly charged, arraigned, given an opportunity to sever their cases or move them to a different court or request a more speedy trial, are out on bail, have been provided with an attorney if they don’t have one, AND ARE, IN THE EYES OF THE LAW INNOCENT UNTIL A COURT OF LAW SAYS OTHERWISE—all the distinguishing features of the world’s gold standard of justice. In a banana republic, they would have already been executed for participating in an attempt to overthrow the government….

Outright climate denial, avoidance of actually engaging the question, and zero mention of any policy Republicans might advance on climate.

What a smug ass. A true representation of his constitutes.

Those grand jurors almost certainly knew this would happen, and they voted to indict anyway. That kind of courage to defend the rule of law is the best of America.
