Imagine a political party that deposes and defames a former federal special counsel by condemning subpoenas for republican members of congress toll records and then crickets* when a democratic congresswoman’s home is invaded and searched. All while saying the former was partisan tactics due to the proximity of charges filed to the elections but again, not a peep about the latter.

The dnc can get fucked. I hope the only ppl that win their elections are socialist candidates that want universal healthcare, taxing the rich, et al. Maybe then the dnc will get the message
TWO Strongly worded Letters are ABOUT to Drop!
ICE is going to kidnap her and she's going to be deported... it's all part of the plan.
They've just announced their 1st public execution. I have a feeling this is going to become an expanding trend.
Yeah, "deported".
More like "disappeared". I hope not.
Yeah that would be another major escalation in the ongoing constitutional crisis. It's one more bizarre take from Republicans. They would have lost their minds if Obama went after a member of congress. I will say this for the current administration, though, they're doing a fantastic job of highlighting improvement opportunities for the Constitution. If the country miraculously pulls itself together enough to pass any kind of amendments at all, but especially one limiting executive powers, they should definitely be named after the person whose kind of behavior it's trying to limit. I know they're just numbered. I mean a name like "The Bill of Rights," which describes the first ten amendments.
