Haul Newsom And Other Blue State Pandemic Tyrants To Congress For Hearings

This is an awesome idea! Set them up in the same manner as the Jan. 6 house committee and grill the ones listed above in the same manner with the same contempt of congress options for non cooperation. It will be great watching these power hungry control freaks be questioned as the public servants that they are rather than as the pseudo royalty the presumed themselves to be in their state or county or city.

Haul Newsom And Other Blue State Pandemic Tyrants To Congress For Hearings

What is happening to the people of Shanghai is an atrocity. China’s zero-COVID policy has literally imprisoned millions in their own homes in that nation’s most populous city. Police beatings have been reported, as have cases of extreme hunger, and “constant mental anguish and anxiety.” Don’t think that could never happen in America. We, too, have tyrants in government. And every one of them should be compelled to sweat under the hot lights of a congressional investigative hearing.
Maybe then they would not be so eager to put Americans under house arrest again.
We now have two reports confirming what so many of us already knew: lockdowns were a colossal mistake. The first analysis, a meta-study of dozens of other studies, found that “lockdowns have had little to no public health effects,” and “should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.” The second discovered that the states with the most laissez-faire pandemic policies fared better than the COVID police states.
The public officials, both elected and unelected, who in essence caged their states, counties and cities, knew better. It was clear early on, and shown later , that few were at serious risk of death from COVID-19. Yet entire populations were told to stay inside and businesses were forced to close. Policymakers treated us all as if were at equal risk of death.
Some learned from their mistakes and released their captives. But others wielded raw power as long and hard as they could. These are the offenders who should be forced to explain why they detained tens of millions, chose to preserve their emergency powers when they weren’t needed, and in general behaved like monarchs rather than the public servants they’re supposed to be.
The lineup at the congressional dock should start with California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the “ King of Sacramento ,” and several others from California, including Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and Los Angeles County Public Health Department Director Barbara Ferrer (who is not a physician, but has a doctorate in social welfare, and along with Garcetti seemed to enjoy making residents of the largest county in the country miserable).
Others who deserve the worst Congress can dish out include Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, former (and still disgraced) New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and a grim host of federal and local officials.
Of course there are more who should feel the wrath of the people through their representatives, so many that Congress would have little time to take care of other business (which in itself would be a blessing – just ask Will Rogers ).
It’s unlikely that a Congress under control of the party dedicated to lockdowns would be amenable to investigative hearings. But the Republicans, who at least have a tie in the Senate and could make some noise there, should be making threats that they will back up come January 2023, when — if the midterm elections go as expected — they will have majorities in both chambers. GOP candidates could even run on the promise they will ensure public officials will never again exercise tyranny over a free people, that the U.S. will never follow the lead of the communist regime in China.
Americans have had enough of the-beatings-will-continue-until-morale-improves governance favored by Democrats.

This is a concern that I have after the mid-terms. If, as expected, the Republicans take control of the House and by some chance get 60 seats in the Senate the last thing I want them to do is go crazy with hearings nnad investigations. I'm very concerned that someone will push to impeach Biden, others will push for their issues and it will all appear that the Republicans are just trying to punish the Democrats as much as they can. That IMO is how the Republicans fuck up a win in the mid-terms.
It's an important question. Should one political party govern with grace and decency while the other destroys all norms as they demonize, smear and try to prosecute their opponents?
dont talk about the GOP like that
It’s all they got Vic.
Pretty sad isn’t it?
You’ll see her in a future liberal admin. She punched her crazy liberal tickets just like our current Sec of Energy. One of the least qualified for that post.
And it shows now with record energy prices ....
It shows / S
I kind of doubt that would happen. While the power of Congress to investigate and issue subpoenas is very broad, it does not have the power to investigate matters that are under the authority of some other branch of government - i.e. the executive or judicial branches.
Therefore judges and executives (i.e. the president and governors) are not required to explain their decisions - exercised under their authority - to Congress. If a governor wants to testify on that topic, he or she is, of course, free to do so. But what a colossal waste of time!
Did this idea really come from the party of limited federal power and states’ rights?
