The only thing you ensured is if there were any Democrats squeamish about doing serious investigations using the excuse that they were “distractions” will now be 1,000% guaranteed to be overruled by the vast majority of Dems in Congress. You hardened resolve with your threats.
I hope the Dems have a strategic plan in place to prosecute important people to make an example of. Once consequences look likely the whole ethos will change. Countries without US extradition policies may become popular.

White House Counsel Will Scharf: "I thought it was very, very important that just at the outset, we set the tone. If there's going to be an investigative process here, it should be a dignified, lawful investigative process."
Please read this everyone.
I asked @RepAdamSmith for clarification of this. He told me he's still 100% for impeachment:
"I am firmly in favor of impeaching Hegseth in the majority. I think we should do this. I will push for it. We want to do it right, and we want the caucus to be as unified as possible."
This should not be hard for @RepAdamSmith or any other D. “The Pres, VP, and the entire cabinet need to be impeached.” D’s should not miss any opportunity to hammer that message, including making sure they show up for all votes, even if they are only procedural.

🚨 DISASTER: CNN just called the Mississippi Senate race for Democrat Scott Colom, unseating Cindy Hyde-Smith.
If this holds, the GOP is down 56-44. Republicans need a massive wake-up call right now or 2028 is completely out of reach.
Total wake-up call. We need fighters! ‼️
Rep. Steven Horsford, D-Nev., spoke on the House floor about his absence, citing a “personal emergency” and saying he took “full accountability” for having missed the vote.
“The accountability I demand of others applies to me, too,” Horsford said.
New: The fallout from Dem absences during yesterday's Hegseth impeachment vote has made it to text chains.
In a House Dem group chat, a lawmaker asked who the 11 Dems were and questioned why they didn’t vote, contending that it made the party look bad, per a House Dem. The text was sent before the list of absences was known. One of the 11 identified themselves and explained what happened. Then a lawmaker responded and said everyone has to be at the Capitol for votes.

He needs to apologize publicly to Admiral Nancy Lacore incoming member of Congress, whose constitutional rights were violated by Seth. Doesn’t matter that they can make this up in the second half – blowing a key score in the first half is inexcusable.
The resistance needs sharp resistance fighters. These guys are not inspiring confidence.
