Nah. Not good enough. It’s this sort of mealy-mouthing that got us here.
He violated the Constitution.
Introduce articles of impeachment Monday morning.
Anything less is complicity.

Well, then he’s committed an impeachable offense. Get together with Rep. Jeffries first thing Monday morning and get after it. Just do it.

I have nothing but respect for Tim Walz, but political violence has ALWAYS been the norm in this country.

I know the basics. Talked about it a bit when I taught about the Holocaust, but only what a middle school audience would understand.

Yes, there’s a theme here. Dad was a Navy vet.

It’s pretty hilarious that you think I’m ignoring the fascists based on ONE POST.

Who’s looking the other way? Sure as shit isn’t me. No, I’m not expecting perfection. I’m expecting opposition. I’m expecting dissent. Defiance. I’m expecting them to actually stand up to fascists with more than words. Not quite sure how you got all that from my comment.

“You lied during your confirmation hearings. We have your statements on video and your actions are a matter of public record. Please tell us why you should not be charged with perjury or contempt of Congress.”

Still really disturbing that this was allowed to happen. Most folks seeing that video won’t know that.

I watched most of his hearing, and he specifically said he would not eliminate departments with HHS including those that deal with vaccines. And yeah, perjury is now nothing but a quaint notion.

He lied under oath during his confirmation hearings.
