    I think the lesson we’re consistently taught is that if you have “Fuck You” money, you can tell Congress to kiss the fattest part of your ass.

      The events of the last decade has convinced me that there should be absolute limits on wealth. It creates dragons, whose drive demands to hoard yet more, no matter the cost to humanity.

    Just keep those hefty $500 fines coming until he buckles under the financial pressure and weeps for mercy!

      They can fine him for each failure to appear.

      They just need to schedule him every minute of every day until he complies.

      This is why we need percentage based fines. Make it 5% of his net worth and it won’t take long to show.

        🧮📐🦍…So if we assume chud is worth 16B…he’s an investor so…ok let’s assume 4.3ish surging daily…86400 seconds in a day so with the max penalty and the offset…

        A $38,816,439 daily bleed. About 25 days to lose a cool billion, not bad.

        But some of these rapist dragons have paid that much just to avoid wealth taxes that would about equal that.

        Nah, make it bigger. It should hurt him within the week, same as losing a paycheck does to most of us.

    “Failed” meaning “refused”. And…

    … has instead launched a lawsuit against the committee arguing that it does not have the authority to compel him to turn over non-disclosure agreements.

      See this is what looks like when both parties are captured by the rich. BECAUSE IF I WAS IN CONGRESS AND DEMAND YOU APPEAR I WILL SEND MARSHALLS TO BRING YOU IN HAND CUFFS TO TESTIFY! Because goddammit if it was you or me we wouldn’t be given a choice. Neither should this pedophile!

        With the caveat that even the slightest resistance is met with a degree of reasonable force. Not the soft talk back and forth. Handcuffs within 1 minute of confrontation or your ass is being hauled in.

        This man is a pedophile of the highest degree.

    How is he supposed to crime in secret if you want to find out what crimes he is hiding?

    It’s just common sense. Leave the poor man alone.
