#Democrats respond to GOP calls for #DebtCeiling negotiations: No

“In exchange for not crashing the United States economy, you get nothing,” Sen. Brian Schatz said in an interview with The Daily Beast. “You don’t get a cookie. ... You’re just a person doing the bare minimum of not intentionally screwing over your constituents for insane reasons.”

@GottaLaff We will see. The Dems made a big deal about holding people accountable and then ceded the insurrection investigation to Cheney, who was only interested in Trump. They put off doing anything about the insurrectionists in Congress until just before they were out of power. Referrals to the “ethics committee (rather than DOJ) are totally meaningless when those now running it have no ethics. I will hope they stand their ground this time while not holding my breath.

The J6 committee had the ability to arrest people for not showing. They failed the test.

@GatekeepKen I don’t know about arresting them, but they could have referred them. (Not that it would have made any difference with this DOJ.)

Time is wasting isn't it. Referrals are a joke.
