I embedded it as a timg. Does awfulapp render it full sized or something? The point of the post is that what I assume is someone on his staff is posting a deluge of:

- The economy is great because of me!
- Melania did wholesome Easter stuff (cause we're christians!)
- Complete exoneration!
- Complete exoneration!
- Complete exoneration!
- No, the democrats were the collusion!
- Your beloved president can't be impeached cause you can't prove I crimed!

Which I assume is because House democrats are looking into his tax returns and he's terrified of those getting out so he's trying to build a narrative of "democrats are only looking at my tax returns cause it's another witch hunt!" so his base can ignore whatever comes out.

People think Trump is going to pardon them if convicted of contempt of Congress.

Or people think the DOJ will decline to prosecute people referred by the House for contempt.

This seems like a bad strategy though. If they all say “no thanks we aren’t gonna be able to make it” to lawful subpoenas for constitutionally mandated legislative oversight, which is then ignored by the other hand of the executive, then we have a very real constitutional crisis right now. People are going to be much more comfortable with impeachment when it isn’t just a referendum on Trump and becomes a referendum on the constitution itself.

They should just show up and shrug at every question and say “I don’t remember” and then Democrats look like they are chasing phantoms.

This American Life seems to specialize in "we're loving doomed" revelations. They did an episode on Alex Jones' made up narratives about his childhood and found a dirt farmer in nowhere Texas:

:banjo:: Alex Jones is a weirdo and a liar, everything he told you is made up.
:engleft:: Did you know that kid grew up to be a radio host who touts himself as someone President Trump talks to.
:banjo:: I did not. I guess he must be being truthful now.

Kinda downplaying how Jones beat the poo poo out of that guy in the school hallway to the point his brain was permanently injured. Not saying that's preventing him from understanding what's going on, but that it adds a whole 'nother level to the despair that last line ought to cause you.

bonus points in that Jones twisted the story of suckerpunching and pile driving that guy is what got him to leave the district into a school assembly where he claimed that the police were corrupt and dealing drugs in the community and then he moved to Austin

MoS showed that what people actually want from Superman is the simplistic fantasy of a kind-hearted father figure that will always save the day with a smile, and anything deviating from that is

It is very much not a lot and absolutely does not happen regularly, there have only been like 3.

Two of them were under Obama by a Republican house (Holder for not showing up to a hearing about Fast and Furious, and Lois Lerner for not testifying about the IRS scandal).
Before that you have to go back to 1983 and Rita Lavelle, who was sentenced to 6 months in jail.

All the rest were eventually dropped when the information that was being sought was turned over.

This is very much not a normal occurrence.
