GOP Finally GETS KARMA!!

Republicans are finally getting the. karma they deserve. Democratic Congress. member Jamie Rascin, who chairs the. judiciary committee is unleashing on. these MAGA Republicans. Let me show you. what went down as Rascin utterly. humiliated. MAGA Republican Dan Krenshaw. on live TV. Seems like Crenshaw after. being just an utter loser is trying to. audition for something as this Trump. regime collapse and Congress member. Rascin puts him in his place and.

basically gives a warning shot to all. the MAGA Republicans out there that. things are going to look very different. I want to share this with you. Then I. want to pivot to what's going on right. now in the Texas House of. Representatives where Democrats have. taken control. And I'll talk to you. about what the new speaker there said, State Representative Sanronia Thompson. I mean, this was pretty incredible. State Representative Thompson, she was. sworn in in the mid70s. She's 87 years.

old. I will show you what that was like. in a moment. But first, let me show you. Congressman Raskin just putting Dan. Krenshaw in his freaking place here. Play this clip. >> Down. Abraham Lincoln created your. party. Donald Trump destroyed your. party. and you went down with it. >> Can I ask you about that, Congressman? Because. >> I'm doing great because I know you lost. You seem a little flustered. >> I got 82% of the vote. I'm doing great. today. I got a new a new grand. >> Yes. Congratulations on that, which I. was going to do at the end. Um.

>> I just I can't believe they're still. going down the road with Donald Trump. like this. >> It's not about Donald Trump. It's about. no completely panel like this is to. >> We got to get back on the track towards. democracy and freedom and government. serving the common good. This isn't We. can talk about Trump and his and his and. his factor in the in the election. Of. course, that's a factor. Of course, it's. a factor. What are you going to say? His. unpopular policies, but he knows they're. unpopular. And I don't think Trump. really cares about Right. He said he. doesn't care about the American people. He said he doesn't care about it. He.

doesn't care about the midterms. >> No, he said he didn't care about the. economic. >> Let me ask you, let me ask you and everybody something. >> They're still going. Should our. long-term policy be dictated by what we. think will be good election outcomes? I. hope you answer. >> That's what democracy is. >> I hope you answer no. I hope you. honestly do good policy. Jamie, if you. let me let me speak for a moment. Okay. The Constitution says that only Congress. can declare war in America. Your. president with your support took us into.

an illegal unconstitutional war. You. said he knew it was unpopular. Well, how. proud he must be. he knew was unpopular. because he never put it to the test of a. vote of the American people's. representatives. The framers of the. Constitution did not want a king who. would plunge his nation into wars of. conceit, avarice, impetuous imperial. ambition and compiance with Vladimir. Putin against actions on Iran. We can. debate the policy. >> No, wait. I'm talking about the policy. I'm talking about the constitution. I. thought that was something you were.

interested. They abided by the war powers act. >> No, they did not. They have not done. No, they've claimed it's five different. wars and you know it. Stop lying to. people. Have you been to a war? Have you. been to a war? >> Tell us all about it. Go ahead. Tell us. in a war and tell us how people like me. are on the ground. >> Yes. Okay. >> That's not the case right now. >> And and so you believe we're not in a. war. Is that your point? >> Yeah. It's not technically. >> we're not in a war. Okay. Well, everybody else understands that we're in. a war. They've called it a war numerous. times and our people are dying there.

You understand that, right? you you've. had very few casualties that are that. are a result of of air strikes coming. into. >> America rejected exactly what he's. saying. And here's the thing they're not. bad policy. You know what? Elections. have consequences. Something you said to. us for the last two years. Elections. have consequences. We repudiate and. reject your illegal unconstitutional. war. We reject and repudiate your. illegal tariffs that are ruinous for our. economy. And we reject all of the. corruption. Your party has no plan and. no program for America. But you got. hearing the impeachment speech. You've.

got two years coming up where you can. try to come up with a program for. America, but we reject the war. We. reject the terrorists. We reject the. corruption. We want the government to. serve the American people. And we're. going to start by repealing a lot of the. terrible stuff. >> Now, let me show you what was going on. in Texas where State Representative. Thompson, again, who was sworn in first. in the Texas State House in the 1970s. She's 87 years old. She has enough votes. to now become the speaker of the house. Now that Democrats have control of the.

House in Texas, watch her statement. holding that gavvel. Pretty incredible. Here, play this clip. >> You know that I came in 1973. I have worked with the majority and I. have worked with with the minority. I. have been chairman of committees and I. have been vice chairman of committees. And ladies and gentlemen, let me tell. you something. When we work on issues, you don't look for the guy you're. working with a Republican or Democrat. Can we get a solution that's going to. benefit the people of this state of.

Texas? >> The gavl doesn't belong to me. The gavl. does not belong to the Republicans nor. the Democrats. The gavl belongs to the. people of this state of. >> back to Democratic Congress member Rasin. for a moment. Here's what he had to say. about Congress. Look, we have the power. to declare war and we are going to make. sure that Trump and Vance are held. accountable. We control the money, not.

them. Watch another warning shot over. here. Play this clip. All legislative. power is vested in a Congress of the. United States of America. Okay? And then. page after page after page of all of the. powers of Congress. We've got the power. to declare war. not Donald Trump and JD. Vance and their signal chat group, right? Like we've got the power to. appropriate money. >> If you're a president and you don't like.

what we're doing, we'll veto it and. we'll try to override. But if you sign. it and it's the law, it's the law and. appropriations act has all the force of. any other law. You can't impound it. You. can't redirect it. You can't steal it. You can't rechan it. We say you spend. money for USID or the Department of. Education or the Department of State, you spend that money. That is not. optional. Okay? And we've got the power. to regulate federal buildings. >> Mhm. >> Article 1, section 8, clause 17, article.

4, section 3, clause 2. That is us. If. the president can bulldoze the east wing. of the White House, he can bulldoze the. west wing of the White House. He could. burn the whole thing down like the. British did in the War of 1812. It's not. his house. That's our house that belongs. to the people of the United States. >> and Congress governs it. So, you know, and then you get all the way through all. that and you get article 1, section 8, clause 18, and all other powers. necessary and proper to the execution of. the foregoing powers. Then you get to. article two. What's the president's job?

Sometimes people say, well, commander-in-chief, right? But not of. the country, not of the government, not. even of the armed forces. Commander-in-Chief, if you're a. textualist of the Army and the Navy and. the militias in times of actual service. Yeah. >> Okay. What is the real job of the. president? Very simple. To take care. that the laws are faithfully executed. >> Yeah. >> To take care. All we say to Donald Trump. is do your job. Do your job. Execute. >> He did. He did seem to have a problem. with faithfully executed.

>> Yes. Now, he's been faithlessly. executing. more from Democratic Congress member. Jamie Rascin on the Supreme Court. Let's. play it. So, let's just say that's not. perfect safety there. And you know, even. with that wretched, totally whimsical. fictional decision of the Supreme Court. uh conferring presidential immunity. Um. you know, and that is such an outrageous. decision. I mean, these are these people. call themselves textualists. Like where.

do you see in the text of the. constitution that the president's got. immunity for felony crimes he actually. commits in office under the core opaces. of the presidency. Where is that? When. the framers wanted to write immunity. into the constitution they did like the. speech and debate clause for members of. congress to save us from the kinds of. fraudulent prosecutions and. investigations that the president is. engaged in right now. The framers had a. lot more faith in the representatives of.

the many than they did in what one, you. know, one mad king might do drunk on. power, right? So, um, and there's no. mention of any of that at the. constitutional convention or the. ratifying conventions or any of that. stuff. So, I guess I would just say, um, even though within that terribly flawed. decision, um, it doesn't apply in a. completely comprehensive way. if the. president steps out of whatever they see. as his proper public role and they.

wanted to make sure that talking to the. attorney general was totally offlimits. to prosecution. Um but there were other. things that he might do that they would. be willing to see is not under the. correct opaces of the presidency and. therefore outside that outer perimeter. and if anybody's going to test that it's. going to be Donald Trump. This was a very very powerful moment. where he said, "I don't even understand. why people act like talking about. affordability and accountability are.

different things." He goes, "They're the. same thing." And we're going to make. sure that we hold these MAGAR Republican. traders accountable. Powerful moment. Let's play this clip. >> So, the first meaningless false. dichotomy comes from the media, which. is, are you going to do accountability. or are you going to do affordability? as. if they were in any way different from. each other. If you look at the history. of tyranny within our species, like. think about like the French monarchy and. when Maria Antoanet says uh let them eat.

cake right now. Is that a problem for. the people of accountability or is it a. problem of affordability? It's the exact. same thing. It's government in the. interest of a tiny group of people so. nobody can afford to buy their. baguettes. Nobody could afford to buy. their bread. And so when the the. monarchies let them eat cake, that is a. statement of what the priorities are of. a tiny privileged few who serve.

oligarchs and nobles and so on and not. the vast majority of the American. people. I mean the American Revolution. began with the Boston Tea Party because. uh because the East India Corporation. which was this chartered bloated. corporation from the crown had decided. that they should get tax advantages for. uh for the importation of tea that the. colonists could not get. Now, is that a. problem of corruption and.

authoritarianism and tyranny? Or is it a. problem of affordability and the cost of. living? It's the exact same thing. And. it's the same with us, right? So, well, what's the main uh dramatic price. increase people have been complaining. about? Well, it's gasoline, which is up. a buck 50 a gallon since before the Iran. war started, right? In some places, it's. still 450 460 right now. Diesel is up. to, I think, 670. A lot of people, you. know, in Maine or New York or Minnesota,

Wisconsin, they heat their homes with. diesel oil. They're being charged $6.70. cents a gallon. All right. Now, is that. a problem of affordability or. accountability? Affordability or. corruption? Well, let's see. the person. who was supposed to be negotiating with. Iran um was centrally involved with the. Donald Trump team in destroying the. JCPOA. Jared Kushner was very involved.

in taking down the nuclear agreement. that kept Iran for at least more than a. decade from uh investing in any nuclear. development. And then Trump came in and. wanted above all to destroy that. Well, who else had uh an agenda of trying to. destroy that so then the lack of a. nuclear agreement could be used as a. pretext for war? Well, Iran's principal. enemies in the region, Saudi Arabia, the.

United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Israel, the. all of those countries um targeted Iran. They wanted that nuclear agreement to go. away and it was working great. There. were all kinds of uh investigative. enforcement mechanisms that were taking. place and it was working fine and they. wanted to tear it down. Then the lack of. that agreement became the justification. for this illegal unconstitutional war. never declared by Congress that has cost. the American people more than I think.

it's 55 or 60 billion dollars at this. point cost dozens of American lives and. um I don't even know how many thousands. now of Iranians but certainly more than. a thousand Iranians as a girl's um. boarding school was destroyed in the. first day of the war. Um, and so, well, the fact that everybody's paying so much. for gasoline and diesel, is that a. problem of affordability or is that a. problem of accountability and. corruption? I mean, it's a meaningless.

question. All right, so the other one. >> more from Congress member Rasin over. here where he says, "And we're not going. to hesitate to go after private. corporations either." Let's play it. We. we will not hesitate to go after the. private corporations that are. collaborating in all of the lawlessness. with Donald Trump and we've done it. before and we will absolutely do it. again. The law firms you mentioned uh we. know that there were many heroic law. firms uh that have stood up against all.

of the lawb breakaking and then the. attempt to shake them down for the time. of their partners and their young. associates. And yet there are major law. firms in America, including Paul Weiss, that have uh capitulated to these. coercive tactics by Donald Trump and. have basically surrendered and made all. kinds of outrageous concessions. We've. sent a number of letters to those law. firms and they have been not forthcoming. up until now. But when we have the power.

of subpoena and we have the power to. conduct oversight, we believe a lot of. these law firms are going to be coming. forward and telling the truth. Otherwise, they are law firms that have. no respect for the rule of law. And. we're going to make sure that they. comply with a congressional subpoena. It. is the exact same legal force as a. judicial subpoena does. Subpoena means. under the power or under the penalty of. law. >> He then talks about the Supreme Court. Let's play it. Look, the the Supreme. Court for the vast majority of American.

history has been a profoundly. conservative and mostly reactionary. institution. Um, and we forget about. that because the the Supreme Court still. somewhat has a a little bit of a glow. from the Warren Court and Brown versus. Board and, you know, Row versus Wade. But it didn't last long before they. started reversing everything and. undercutting what they had done before. And that's what uh we saw in the Burger. Court and the Rancquist court and now. the Roberts court because this Supreme.

Court um has intervened to stop the. counting of ballots in Bush versus Gore. in 2000. It has demolished the Voting. Rights Act, the greatest statute of our. history, which actually made it possible. for millions and millions of people to. participate effectively in the process. And it is sided uh with Trump in almost. every way in terms of trying to turn the. clock back. So the Supreme Court alas. has become in many ways an obstacle to.

democracy. We need to get democracy. moving again. And then here's what he says about Midas. Touch Network host Katie Fang. Very. powerful moment over here. Let's play. it. >> See you on the hill. You're going to. have a big gavvel and subpoena power. soon. Thank you, sir. >> Thank you, Scott. And I we know that uh. the press is not the enemy of the. people. The press is the people's best. friend. So you keep holding us to. account and thanks for what you're. doing. And Katie Fang, especially thanks.

to you for fighting hard on the Epstein. files to see that truth and justice are. both done. >> Thank you. >> It means a lot. Thank you, Congressman. Rasin. There you have it, everybody.
