Dems threaten Postmaster General with ‘arrest’ if he refuses to testify:

[PostmodernProphet]

1) You choose to live there. Fine, but whining about it just makes you look weak and spineless.

to the contrary, our current governor makes us look weak and spineless......remember, "it's shark week, motherfuckers"......she'll be back in the trailer park where she belongs after her first term is over.......

2) From the cost aspect, I agree. Since this is a pandemic I can see why your state senators and governor think it's a good idea to spend some extra money to ensure every citizen had an opportunity to vote. Republicanism wins again! Woot!

oh I'm sorry for your confusion.......Michigan isn't doing mass mailing of ballots.......instead voters will be notified by mail that they may request an absentee ballot (we actually passed a law last year that anyone could vote absentee before anyone panicked about covid).......the Demmycrats don't control the Michigan House or Senate.......

Good luck turning Michigan solid red. It was barely red in 2016.

Virginia Congressman Gerry Connolly (D) on Sunday suggested that the House committee could move to jail Postmaster General Louis DeJoy if he refuses to testify at an upcoming hearing.

Democrats on Sunday called for DeJoy’s testimony after President Donald Trump suggested that he is undermining the U.S. Postal Service in order to win the election.

“The President has explicitly stated his intention to manipulate the Postal Service to deny eligible voters access to the ballot in pursuit of his own re-election,” House Democrats said in a statement. “Alarmingly, the Postmaster General – a Trump mega-donor – has acted as an accomplice in the President’s campaign to cheat in the election, as he launches sweeping new operational changes that degrade delivery standards and delay the mail.”

In a tweet, Connolly insisted that DeJoy’s appearance “is not optional.” He said that Democrats should be prepared to force the Postmaster General’s compliance

Throw his ass in jail.............

he should be handled just like any other criminal......

 

[Bill]

Sorry folks but subpoenas and demands are not valid during Trump's reign. They have laughed at subpoenas and summons from courts for almost 4 years. Perhaps when Trump is gone, we will have laws return. I hope so. If future presidents are like Trump. the American experiment is in trouble.

& sadly the "law & order" folks & all the constitutional experts look the other way when trump makes himself the law.......

Imagine the POUTrage if Obama did this?? Clinton??

 

[Bill]

Not even close, you brainless moron. It would appear that no one ever taught you that DC politicians negotiate ... you know, as part of the political process.

Apparently you were brainwashed to believe that Democrat refusal to negotiate in good faith is somehow Republicans trying to destroy the country. Too funny.

We need to vote out all the Democrats that refuse to negotiate in good faith ... which would be all of them ... and then Republicans can fix the country.

Yeah, this one is all "Democrats are totally at fault."

Why do you keep spamming the board w/ the same picts over & over & over??

You trying to evade the size restrictions on your signature?? Spamming isn't the solution............

Too funny! ... says the guy who adds animated TDS spam to every post.

I made everything in my sig. It's all mine. Everything in your sig is borrowed from someone else who has done your thinking for you.

Dejoy is not a politician. He is like Trump and figures whatever you can get away with is legal.But he may find out the hard way there are people he should not treat like underlings. The house and senate seem to be unhappy that he is interfering in the elction.

Good luck turning Michigan solid red. It was barely red in 2016.

first, I don't need it to be solid red.......just 50.1% red......
second, the state legislature has been red for decades......and until 2018 our governor was red.....considering Gretch's track record, it will be red again in 2022.....

if he's to be treated like a criminal then he needs to charged with a crime.........what crime are you speculating he committed?......

A fair point about 50.1%. Time will tell.

The Michigan legislature is way Republican due to gerrymandering. The reds have not won the votes and still control the legislature by the same margins. We voted for redistricting in 2016 and the reds tossed anchors into the water as the ship of state sailed toward fairness. They made it for the 4 years they wanted. Mich. Repubs are among the least respectful of the vote in America.

Gerrymandering in order to disenfranchise people is anti-American. The purpose of government is laid out in both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Nowhere in there does it say the purpose of government is to fuck over one group of citizens to benefit another group.

Personally, I'm a huge fan of si vis pacem, para bellum but you can't do that with a pink pussy hat parade.

The citizenry always needs to have the option of force, preferably as their last resort. Even then, there are degrees of force and everyone here is familiar with them even if they don't recognize them as such. If your last resort, pull-out-all-stops form of force is a pink pussy hat, then you are going to be royally fucked over.

If, however, you not only have weapons, but the knowledge of how to use them, then the odds of ensuring fair government will be increased.
