The Democrats are going to investigate your crimes? Are we talking about the same Democrats?

Investigations are great for them politically, why wouldn't they?

They sweep the house and set up special commissions investigating all of the wrongdoings very publicly and with much ceremony and somber pomp.

Then either they'll defer the discovered crimes to the justice department to make arrests (these will be ignored) or send impeachment proceedings to the senate (these will be swatted down).

This lets them "do something" without actually making any changes. It will also be coordinated with the media to be the focus of politics for a while and not something dangerous like young anti-capitalist upstarts trying to steal the party they rightfully rigged so long ago.

By making it seem like they're doing something the can also tamper down some of that anti establishment energy that's been boiling over recently.

I hope they fucking fail.

I wanna see a source for that quote. If it’s real, I’ll laugh my pants off

Seems to be paraphrasing:

“If we lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats — y’all, impeachment isn’t even the real concern,” the Louisiana Republican told a conservative audience on Friday. “They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they’ll go after the president’s family, the Cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted.”

The House speaker added, “I run the protection program. I’ll take care of you.”

I've heard if you deport them fast enough and send them to a nonextradition country with a supermax prison then you don't even need to make a case against them. Seems a lot cheaper for the tax payers.

I swear to God, I can't tell what's real and what's a meme anymore.

[-] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 11 points 2 hours ago

Yes, that's....how it works.

[-] PixelatedSaturn@lemmy.world 12 points 2 hours ago

No it doesn't. Democrats don't do that. At least not well

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

In the last 30 years, Democrats have held a majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate during two periods: from 1993 to 1994 and from 2007 to 2010.

This is what midterms are for. Go out and vote for Democrats who will do that.

Scrolling past I thought that was a new Tim Heidecker character
