When he wanted to defend Trump's stupid economic plans he was supposedly some economic expert that forgot more economics than I could remember.
When he wanted to use statisitcs to peddle his bigotry, he supposedly took so many stats classes that he appointed himself an expert
When he spew dumd stereotypes about black people, he supposedly works are one of the most inappropriate workplaces in America with "black greeks"
Now he is supposedly a registered Democrat.
Dude is like every other NT bigot that has come through here. Making **** it to try to defend his racism, sexism and white nationalism.

Are they also talking about every republican speaker of the house that had a sex scandal of their own to? gingrich cheated on his first & second wives. I think he ended up marrying his congressional aide. livingston also had several affairs and we all should know about that serial child molester hasert.

Trump administration officials gleefully shouting "I'm not answering your ******* questions!" in their testimony to Congress is just fine without getting subpoenaed though. Well except Bannon, who coincidentally was a thorn in the side of the GOP establishment at the time.
He was the only Trump administration official subpoenaed by House Republicans for stonewalling the committee.
Hope Hicks stonewalled the House and refused to answer any question post-inauguration. She, or any other Trump admin. official for that matter, could not cite a valid legal statute to refuse answering. Mike Rogers and 2 other top Intelligence officials whose names and positions I can't recall at this time testified to the Senate and all refused to answer questions about whether they had been pressured by Trump on the Russia investigation.
They all refused to answer, claiming executive privilege that had not been invoked prevented them from answering because "it might be invoked at a later time", which never ended up happening.
When Senators pressed them to cite a legal statute that allows them to refuse giving any answer to those kind of questions, they kept repeating that executive privilege may be invoked at a later time and thus they couldn't answer. Senators kept pressing them to cite the legal statute that grants them executive privilege without actually invoking it at any time. All of them failed to cite any such legal ground to stonewall the committee.
There were no consequences for doing so and Trump never invoked executive privilege that the officials claimed he might do at a later date.
They answered other questions where executive privilege would apply if it were to be invoked, which some Senators noted.
Their refusals very specifically centered around whether or not they had ever been pressured regarding the Russia investigation.
Sessions used the same "I can't answer because executive privilege might be invoked at a later date" argument to refuse answering certain questions too but I don't recall the exact context.

These spineless Repubs can't even look people in eye when confronted over their decision making by those who will be most effected by those decisions
Like I said, votes are bought and paid for. They won’t give up money and control for anything. This is why in the old days Kings were killed in their sleep

Here's Angus King questioning Sessions over the "I refuse to answer because the president might invoke executive privilege at a later time" argument that Mike Rogers and a number of other top Trump admin. intelligence officials used to refuse answering whether the president had ever pressured them regarding the Russia investigation.
Sessions then used the same argument as seen here and also couldn't cite a valid legal statute allowing them to stonewall without ever invoking executive privilege.

Might as well let the country crash and burn at this point. I’m writing in Kaepernick in November.
I believe you are correct about using witness testimony as evidence. I served on a jury about 10 years ago in a domestic violence case. If I remember correctly, we were told we could use the witness testimonies to help make our decision. We were also told we could determine for ourselves whether or not we believed the defendant.
Edit: the defendant was not white, so maybe that's why it's different.

More trolls than sensible ones. The "sensible" ones mostly keep quiet. I put quotes because even when they know it's wrong they defend these actions too, just not as extreme or ignorant.
