Like I don't know why this thread doesn't understand how much of our federal government is held together with weak decorum glue that has just been waiting for someone to go "gently caress this" and then find out that there are no consequences.

I think to some extent they can have their security clearances suspended and/or their ability to access any SCIFs revoked. That will at least make it more difficult for them to cause trouble in the future and screw with their committee assignments. I wouldn't hold my breath for too much more to happen though.

'presenting an offender the mace' was originally a genteel euphemism for beating the poo poo out of them. but you tack a couple centuries of ritual on top of that and you get an old guy holding a stick like it's about to cast Ward Against Indecorum on the trespassers.

As an idiot joining this thread late in the day, it sounds to me that Gaetz and the House Incel Committee poo poo their pants so hard they actually poo poo them off instead of getting the media to herald them as heroes. Sounds like an average day for a Republican to me.AlBorlantern Corps posted:Is it illegal to tell the president I figured out who the whistleblower is in all his replies and tell him to dm me until he actually does Only if you actually go through the trouble to make up a name instead of sending him goatse.

Laura Cooper testifying is actually a big deal and that's why they disrupted it today. She is a career fed and knows how things are supposed to work. She has been involved with aid to Ukraine for quite some time. She will be able to point out how hosed up it was under Trump.

TyrantWD posted:Anyone who thinks this is working for the GOP is nuts. I am sure that by the time Hannity comes on the air the right wing media would have figured out how they want to spin this, but right now this stunt is being shat on by pretty much everyone. A little bit of rule breaking around the fringes would be fine to the general public. Storming closed door hearings and violating national security protocols, because YOU don't sit on a certain committee, even though there are other republicans from that committee in the room, is just stupid to the extreme, and not going to win anyone over. It's telling that AOC's tweet about it has almost no people defending it, when she normally can't even post about the weather without hundreds of CHUDs picking on her
