The Washington Post - The 5-Minute Fix

 

today

 


As it prepares for public hearings next month, the Jan. 6 congressional committee just did something pretty aggressive: It subpoenaed five Republican members of Congress to try to force them to testify, including the top House Republican, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California. ...

 

Who does the committee want to talk to?

 

It has subpoenaed McCarthy and four close allies of Donald Trump: Reps. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Scott Perry (R-Pa.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).

 

The committee wants to talk to them about conversations they had with Trump on Jan. 6, or about any conversations they had with Trump allies leading up to that day. ...

 

What is a subpoena and why is it rare to subpoena members of Congress?

 

Subpoenas are legally binding requests to testify. Violating them can carry a fine or jail time.

 

Trump adviser Steve Bannon is going to trial this summer for ignoring a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee. Former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows could face charges, too, for ignoring his. ...

Oh good, finally the cowards are getting to pay their dues (hopefully).

 

Ironic how when the Republicans wanted to question Hillary, she sat for 8 hours and answered all their questions. But when it's the other way around? The cowardly Republicans run for the hills, or hide behind the orange buffoon. Pathetic.

Considering the average age of US senators is 63, it may be senility.

(New Zealand average parliament age is 52)

A bit off-subject, but this is a 90 minute video about Amazon's union organizer directly talking to senior United States senator from South Carolina Lindsay Graham



Company Labor Law Violations and Taxpayer Money

The Senate Budget Committee held a hearing on whether federal taxpayer dollars should go to companies that violate labor laws and prevent workers from unioning.

Amazon’s labor practices was a focus. Christian Smalls, Amazon’s labor union president testified, telling the committee that It’s not a left or right thing. It’s not a Democrat or Republican thing. It’s a worker’s thing. It’s a worker’s issue.

Others witnesses included labor leaders, organizers, and policy professionals. Topics discussed included the right to unionize, labor law violations, and worker protections.

Wouldn't this be lovely. Trump's preferred candidate losing in Georgia, to the governor who refused to go along with his bs election fraud scheme. Maybe that might bring Trump down a notch or two and make him realise he's not invincible - something's sorely needed!

Biden warns of "ultra-MAGA." It's not ultra-clear what he means. - The Washington Post

 

 

Last Wednesday, during a speech on the economy, President Biden coined a new phrase — “ultra MAGA.”

 

“Let me tell you about this ultra MAGA agenda,” Biden said, using former president Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign slogan — “Make America Great Again” — as a pejorative. “It’s extreme, as most MAGA things are.”

 

Then, in the subsequent days, Biden and his team continued to hammer Republicans in aggressive terms, attacking them as “MAGA” and “ultra MAGA.” Biden even dismissed his predecessor at one point as “the great MAGA king.”

 

It took scant time for Republicans to gleefully seize on the moniker as their own, triumphantly elevating it as a brand worthy of celebration. “I am ultra MAGA, and I’m proud of it,” said Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), the No. 3 House Republican, after a reporter Wednesday noted that she was “being called ultra MAGA.”

 

 

The same day, Trump’s Save America super PAC sent out a fundraising email featuring a $45 T-shirt bearing the image of Trump as Superman — a Trump “T” stretched across his chest rather than Superman’s iconic “S” — flying below the banner of “SUPERMAGA” in a red-and-yellow comic book font.

 

 

 

“Did you hear what Joe Biden called us? He said we were an EXTREME POLITICAL ORGANIZATION. He said we were ULTRA MAGA,” read the email pitch. “Well … If loving your Country and wanting to put AMERICA FIRST makes you ULTRA MAGA, then yes. WE ARE ULTRA MAGA.”

The DEMs need to get a top propagandist\wordsmith\cheerleader onboard, someone like Tony Robbins or, even better, a left-leaning snake oil salesman with a magic mouth. A sane version of Mehmet Oz, for example. The DEMs are always taking knives to gunfights; the Ultra-MAGA non-epithet is a typical pussyfoot.

But it's only a chrome-plated dick, not gold. Might be Putin's.

Some of the replies to his tweets (from non-fans) are absolutely hilarious 😀
