    Or what? Is that supposed to be a threat? Seems to me that if a Republican is warning you not to investigate something then it definitely needs investigating.

      “You won’t like me if I get… uncivil” is the most Senate threat in the book.

      Nevermind that we’ve got sitting Senators who have body-slammed journalists in recent memory.

    Dude, just fucking die already. I hope they double their efforts of subpoenas going forward. If a spotlight is cast on a Democrat, well call for their removal as well. Politics should not be a “get rich quick” scheme. You work for us, asshole, and it’s high time we reminded you/them of that fact.

    What I want to know is what sort of cutting-edge medical voodoo based technology is keeping him alive?

      Not even cutting edge. Just the normal shit everybody gets. We’re…REALLY good at keeping old people alive these days. Like shockingly good.

      Unfortunately in the case of some.

      Sincerely, a critical care nurse

        Walter Reed has the absolute best medical staff and facilities anywhere in the world.

        Meanwhile, one of the nurses at my family’s hospital decided it was okay to give my mother a double dose of chemo since she would be missing an appointment next month.

    God damn, can you even imagine what Congress would look like if senior officials were getting pestered with subpoenas by gloryhound committee chairs straight into a big election cycle?

    Palpatine thinks he is relevant to this.

    He KNOWS he’s relevant, that’s why he’s threat-begging them to look the other way.
