Mike Johnson threatens us with a good time: "If this group took over, they would turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body. They'd spend every day investigating the president, the first family, the cabinet, donors to the party, leaders of business ... "

When I look at Mike Johnson 2 things come to mind for me. He looks like he's got something stinking up under his nose and the way his lips move looks like Synchro-vox animation from the 50-60s like Clutch Cargo where they superimposed real mouths over drawn background.

Just those who received no bid gov contracts, money and gifts from foreign govs; paid for pardons and the one who recvd pardon money, SC grifters, anyone who might have cheated and/or lied on citizen docs, (no one is above the law).

It's what OVERSIGHT is called. These agencies aren't meant to just do whatever they want, Congress is supposed to provide oversight so they don't do stupid shit like cause a measles outbreak or attack Iran and cut the world economies throat.

IS THIS AN ADMISSION THAT TRUMP & REPUBLICANS ARE COMMITTING MANY CRIMES? I’d say so! POS Mike Johnson is a corrupt, lying, fake “Christian”, climate science denying, Big Oil/Corp. owned, Russian funded, anti-American, CRONY CAPITALIST, CORPORATE FASCIST! Like Trump, Musk, and many GOP Republicans.

So essentially, he's saying that Democrats would bring back accountability. That they would ensure Congress is doing its job. That Congress will once again meet its Constitutional obligations. I've got one thing to say in response: Please make it so.

What worries him most is being the scapegoat for defeat and being sent into political irrelevance when the new R minority leadership is selected next year.

So he’s actually saying that The President, his family their donors and Congress are breaking the law and will be found guilty if investigated. If they weren’t guilty he wouldn’t be worried.

They are our enemies. Which makes us their enemies. Yes, it's time for our empowerment. But it's not so much investigative action we need. That's largely in the public domain. It's Legal and Enforcement of action we need.

In other words he is threading the US with someone that might actually do what he is paid for and was elected to do…. Good grief….

Oversight is their constitutional duty and the Republican Congress has completely ignored that duty every day they have been in power during the Trump administration.

Yes, please. And have the hearings televised. Let it be the 1980s MTV version of investigations: all day, all night, all Congressional investigation hearings.

I mean, just to point out the obvious, Congressional oversight is supposed to PREVENT illegal activity. There would not be much to investigate if Mike Johnson and his GOP cronies had been doing their jobs.

All the MAGAs on the campaign trail are saying the same thing. They are talking to their base though to get them excited and angry and ready to vote! Did you see what is on the screen? That redistricting will help the MAGAs in the end. (I refuse to call them by the "R" word.)

Oh they work- it’s the stuff behind the curtain: Russ Vought and project 2025 is all filtering through OMB. Those quiet changes we hear nothing about will take decades to reverse. When the economy crashes, and it will, all roads will lead to the architecture of P2025

Indeed. And I'm coming to realize that's by design: bsky.app/profile/theg...

GOP = rich boys club masquerading as a political party for the purposes of obfuscating corruption, self-enrichment, and a coordinated system of deflecting awareness and accountability for rape, torture, war crimes, fraud, insurrection, hate crimes, racism, nazism, anti-science, & misogyny.

Ah yeah. Duh. Because that’s what hasn’t been done due to corrupt pedophiles and pedophile protecting Guardians of Pedophiles party.

This is the quiet part that needs to be repeated. You wouldn't be investigated for possible criminal activity if you didnt break the law!

That's because they all need to be held accountable. That is a great reason to vote Blue across the board and get you out of office.

The strategy here, since Fox's coverage of Trump impropriety is scant if at all the Fox viewer will hv an almost nonexistent knowledge of it. So Johnson is trying to gin up the MAGA who, while unhappy w the state of things doesn't want Trump impeached or jailed.

MJ is also telling us what to do and who to look for... btw, MJ is quitting Congress to become a Lawn Service guy...woof!

They could even investigate YOU Mike for dereliction of duty, keeping the House on vacay when there was pressing national & international issues with which to grapple. Skip the phony prayer routine, Mike, God is appalled by your behavior.

He may not be wrong. Trump’s investigations and indictments backfired and helped put him back in office. Americans are hurting, I hope we spend time fixing what they need, instead of TV hearings. Getting justice while Trump controls DOJ impossible anyway.

Just what I thought and I’ve heard Dems say we’re gonna be be busy fixing things and getting what we elected to get done done, ignore the whining republicans

Yes we will. Every single criminal is going to pay and the head honcho is going down. The Nuremberg trials part two are going to be the biggest thing to watch on TV . The movie's the TV shows the documentaries that will come out are going to be spectacular. Who will play Trump?

Whether there are charges or not, it would still be good for Fox viewers to see what's going on. Currently, the bubble is still strong.

I am not republican (or democrat, hence independent view). In my opinion, democrats do a lot of theater but all that results into .... well nothing e.g. capital attack and treason investigations. The country doesn't need theater, it needs action that they couldnt shouldnt wouldnt do. Mamdani however

Dems should make it clear they can 'walk and chew gum' at the same time. And properly conduct government business first, as well as prosecute whatever crimes are necessary to do so. It's not a game.

The real fear is they will start to reestablish the rule of law. This will only be possible by repopulating the FBI and DOJ with qualified non-criminal leadership.

I think we need to go beyond that, at this point. The Trump regime is not just engaging in criminal activity. It is actively undermining the functioning of the US. There needs to be a special court investigating crimes against the American people.

Just investigating isn’t enough. We need prosecution, convictions and jail time served. For this one needs law enforcement at the federal level that’s functioning.

Well that’s MEpubs fault for allowing the felon leader to do WHATEVER HE WANTS. You gonna crackdown??? Ha ha ha ha ha. Dems are running for justice.

Maybe they wouldn’t have to do that if *all of the people he mentioned* didn’t do egregiously illegal and fascist things all the fucking time?

...and the irony is that if you haven't done anything that WARRANTS an investigation, you WON'T be investigated. Unless you're talking Todd Blanche, and Trump's little cross-eyed drunken rodent Kash Patel. THEN, they just follow the orders of a lard-assed rapist felon pedo and MAKE UP things.
