Revive hanging those participating in sedition.

Shiff could get a neck to match his E.T. eyes.

How about reviving tar and feathering and riding the rail for congress critters like Shiff-for-Brains?

so when do the Republicans walk? Start with the committee and then the congress. My congressman won’t walk because he is a Republican pu**y Brian Fitzpatrick. He also thinks Comey is a good guy.

“He’s correct, actually. Congress does have the inherent power to jail people.”

So who goes out to snap on the handcuffs?

Just consider the insane crap that exists in Nadler’s and Schiff’s brains.

They are akin to the organizers of The Spanish Inquisition.
Why would a normal person even think of “mini trials” unless you are sick and in need of help.

The conservatives who now control the Supreme Court are wringing their fingers in anticipation for their opportunity to crush the DemonRATs’ subversive efforts against the Constitution. Popcorn is popping as the DemonRATs continue their political stunt on the political stage. Their fall off that stage is a long drop.

Why should he?

The GOP isn’t going to do anything other than jail whomever Shiff wants jailed.

They work for the Democrats.

The math is 50% plus one individual.

Saying 50.1% gives the wrong impression.

Someone needs to explain to Schift for brains that they have to be successful in their plans to turn us into a Soviet style state before he can implement his gulag system.

I’m somewhat familiar with Brian’s district.

Has it changed drastically in the last few years.
If I remember correctly, his dad was a conservative?

Long winded for sure - all that in one sentence...

“”That really doesn’t necessarily change in an impeachment proceeding where they can fight us likewise but there is another remedy that I think we really need to consider that maybe even quicker than an impeachment proceeding or the court proceeding and that is reviving Congress’ inherent power of contempt, something we utilize up until the 1930s where we in effect do our own judicial proceeding in the Congress, have a little mini-trial in the Congress and hold people in contempt and responsible and compel their production without even going to court.””

It goes back further to the Revolutionary War. The DemonCRAPs are subverting our system of justice. It is the same subversion that caused men to write:

“For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences.”

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government . . .”

The LIB nitwits have assured more people that, indeed, they are nitwits. Of course, some people are natural nitwits and will love the LIB lunacy. Hopefully, most people want civil, law-driven society. It would make my day (and be great for America) if these seditionists and traitors were to be “removed” from this society.
