House Republicans authorized a new rule to prevent Democrats from probing the Trump administrationās scandals until October.
Amid mounting scandals out of the Trump administration, House Republicans voted Tuesday inĀ favor of a rule that creates hurdles for DemocratsĀ looking to investigate it.
Departments across Trumpās government have been rocked by scandals over a variety of issues:Ā Elon Muskās glaring conflicts of interestĀ while gutting the federal government,Ā Cabinet officialsādiscussing sensitive military plansĀ with civilians via a third-party messaging platform or members of Congress benefiting as the White HouseĀ turned tariffs on and off.
Democrats have tried to shine light on these and other scandals using what are called āresolutions of inquiry,ā which can tee up what are essentially special votes over whether to provide information from the president or executive officials.
Keep moving the dems to the right buddy. Youāre doing a fantastic job of it. Youāll be the reason why Jeb Bush or any other far right asshole runs as a democrat. And then youāll vote for all these republican policies that you pretend to be against. Centrists and moderates are 100% the reason why trump got power. That āgoodā that you mention does NOTHING. We are so fucked for the next election since you trojan horses have learned NOTHING
Reads like the far right option of above diagram.
