Real Nice Telecom Company You'ze Got Here

Be a real shame if something were to happen to it.

From the WaPo:

Opinion: Kevin McCarthy keeps revealing how ugly a GOP House would be

Mark this down: If Republicans win the House in the 2022 elections, one of their very first acts in the majority will be to impeach President Biden for the offense of having won the 2020 election.

Okay, that’s a joke. But only partly. Republicans would not put it in those terms, of course, but that would be functionally what they are doing.

We’re now beginning to see just how ugly a House GOP takeover would be for the country...

Case in point: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has now openly threatened to use a GOP-controlled House to punish private companies that comply with lawful subpoenas issued by the House select committee examining the Jan. 6 insurrection.

In an extraordinary statement, McCarthy lashed out at the select committee over its directive earlier this week that telecommunications and social media companies should preserve records that might be relevant to their investigation.

McCarthy said that if these companies turn over any information, they will be in violation of federal law, adding that “a Republican majority will not forget and will stand with Americans to hold them fully accountable.”...

Desperate men do desperate things.

Desperate morons struggle to front like Michael Corleone and always come off like Fredo.

Is this like the Oakland Athletics MLB slugger of yore.

Was stopped by the police for doing 104MPH in a 40 MPH zone.

When the cop asked him for his license and to step out of the care.

Jose Canseco uttered, "Do you know who I am"?

Then they put him in the back sear of the patrol care and booked him.

I am sure the court worked it out and was made well aware of who he was.
