Sidney Powell' s tweet on the DC circuit:

She makes a lotta sense for Joe, IMO:

Clearly, I am wasting my time. You do not want to see the facts. You do not care about the facts. The only question I still have is if you are trolling, or if you enjoy being willfully ignorant?

Here, use these real conservative sites to read about the IRS scandal: treasury.gov report Lois Learner pleads the 5th!! and then they allowed her a soliloquy IRS Apologizes For Aggressive Scrutiny Of Conservative Groups<--- npr.org IRS Scandal Fast Facts<--- cnn.com Oh good! Then you will love the treasury document above. ?

That list is not "fake." Those are only some of the low-lights of the Obama administration. You may want to pick a topic, any topic, that has to do with the improprieties of the Obama administration (don't even start with sedition, start small with oh, his using the IRS to target political opposition (heck, just look at the tea party... that one is easy to see what he had the IRS do), or perhaps, spying on political opponents) and do some deep diving into source documents on that subject. You should be appalled by what you find.

Harsh...

That is horrible.

Or not letting them get back to their jobs for .... how much longer?

Quick, everyone! Hide under your bed.

POLITICAL PERSECUTION!! Hey, Biden is trying it. Why not everyone else?

You said Trump lied about having the authority. Like it or not, he did NOT lie about having that authority.

The Ds voting against him is baffling. Would they have preferred another 180 days of Grenell? It was pick your poison and Ratcliffe (basically) sailed through this time, buuuuutt... ?‍♀️

Well, if they are supposed to have access to paperwork to do their jobs, they are supposed to have access to paperwork to do their jobs. Inspector General act 1978. ( b ) An Inspector General may be removed from office by the President.

Now, as far as the IGs... couple of things. Obama fired IGs. (2009 article) But worse, the very first thing Obama did was neuter the IGs. If they asked for information and were denied that information by the agencies they were supposed to be investigating, that was it. Grassley has to pass a law to reverse this. Congressional record. Can't let the IGs inspect! </snip> Last year, 47 of the nation’s 73 federal IGs signed an open letter decrying the Obama administration’s stonewalling of their investigations. The White House, they reported, had placed “serious limitations on access to records that have recently impeded the work” of IGs at the Peace Corps, the EPA and the Department of Justice, and jeopardized their “ability to conduct our work thoroughly, independently and in a timely manner.” At the rotten core of the war on federal watchdogs: Obama’s undermining Justice Department, which has distorted and destroyed the plain meaning of “all records.” Earlier this year in congressional testimony, DOJ IG Michael Horowitz exposed the Obama administration’s “continued refusal by the Department to recognize that Section 6(a) of the Inspector General Act authorizes the DOJ OIG to obtain access to all records in the Department’s possession that we need in order to perform our oversight responsibilities” as the office investigates the IRS witch hunts, the Fast and Furious scandal and systemic public disclosure evasions. </snip>

What difference does it make? You had written that Obama and Biden should demand hearings. The very last thing in this world that either Obama or Biden want is hearings. The. Last. Thing.

He actually did have the power, if he chose to enforce it. He did not (to his great credit). I've posted this numerous times: National Emergencies Act. Stafford Act. Presidential Emergency Actions Documents. Look them up... well, as far as you can. Apparently, some powers are classified. (Isn't that scary?) What the president has the ability to do, and what he eventually does may well be two different things. But, there is no question that these acts give him the final say when a disaster is national. And for the follow-up questions sure to come, I wrote this too: When the 50th state went to a declared national disaster (Wyoming on Saturday), things changed. That Uncle Sam Sugar-money comes with strings. Sometimes long strings. Trump seems to like making a declarative line in the sand, makes conciliatory noises to bring people in so they are (or at least feel they are) part of the decisions, and then he negotiates from there. Push-pull. Do I think he is going to do any of these things? No idea. I sincerely hope not. Does he have the legal authority to do them? Apparently so.

Trying to hide it? He's proud to be the team leader of #theresistance!

Oh please, please, please, pullllllllllllllllllllllzzzzze have them follow that advice. Please, please, please!! Could the you imagine? "So, why did you work the coup in the Ukraine and how much of that $1B was laundered back to the DNC? " or "So, about that $1.5B in China..." or "While you were spying on everyone illegally, framing people for crimes not committed, and trying to take down a dully elected President... " and that is just in the last year of office. We can go back much further if you like!! And, we have the papers to prove you are both corrupt pieces of *****! Good times! Corrupt and Corrupt Jr want no part of hearings, but wowwee, I'd be thrilled to see them. Must see TV as Biden can't recall anything and Obama stutters through all his answers without a teleprompter.

(more tweets in the thread) (more tweets) He should do journalists and the news media next!

Trump is making a vaccine?

You go first.

Ohio plans to appeal. Gyms were set to open on May 26th. Link to ruling. Court ruling: Gyms that reopen against Dr. Acton and Ohio’s coronavirus-related closures cannot be punished A Lake County Court of Common Pleas judge ruled against Dr. Amy Acton and the Ohio Department of Health in a lawsuit filed by more than two dozen gyms that were ordered to close as part of the statewide stay-at-home directive. Court records from May 20 show Judge Eugene Lucci granted a preliminary injunction blocking state and county health officials from taking any action against fitness centers that violate the safety restrictions by reopening. </snip> The gyms listed on the lawsuit were seeking the ability to reopen immediately, with added safety measures in place, while also asking for compensation for money lost during the shutdown. </snip>
