Right, but we have to assume literally no one is going to do that.

He said a lot of crazy stuff in this presser. Heck he admitted they didn't send aid to Puerto Rico because it was corrupt just as casually as he said quid pro quo happened.
Wait... that's not him? I just assumed that he retired from acting and joined the administration.He always looked more like the Nazi from Raiders of the Lost Ark to me.
Start levying fines or arresting those who've stubbornly ignored the congressional subpoenas for a start.
No, he only said that they make quid pro quo agreements all the time, not that the reason for it this time was to help the President's campaign bid, which is the illegal part.
when he shuts down youtube or another social media siteJesus fucking Christ. The White House is admitting to high crimes and there isn't mass protest and unrest. What will it actually take, America?! Like, ACTUALLY.

Because the law actually says that's the penalty for refusing a subpoena.Why? For optics? For votes?
They just fucking admitted it point blank, periodt.
Rudy does it in interviews on CNN and Fox. He isn't doing that from the podium of the White House press room. That distinction matters a difference and I should have been clearer in what I meant.
It'll take more than we'll give. It's not going to happen. By the time regular people are ready to act it'll be way too late.Jesus fucking Christ. The White House is admitting to high crimes and there isn't mass sustained protest and unrest. What will it actually take, America?! Like, ACTUALLY.
America is a capitalist society and people will lose their homes if they dick around on the National Mall accomplishing nothing for days and weeks at a time. The country is set up in such a way that sustained protest ISN'T POSSIBLE.
For their Republican base who voted them in to stop supporting said criminal behavior and approving of Trump's actions... Which is STARTING to happen, but not to a degree that puts them at risk.I just don't understand this...they've literally admitted to committing a crime. A pretty big crime. A crime infinitely more severe than anything Nixon or Clinton did. What more could it possible take for the Republicans to stop this? Or at the very least, for the Democrats in the House to at least Impeach him?
Cool. So there is no line that if crossed, would or have caused sustained massive protest in America?
No line at all?
And capitalist societies have never protested in this way and are in fact incapable of it?
Is that what you are saying?

Think about how big the continental US is. Do you expect people who live in California or New York to just pack up and temporarily move to Washington DC to protest for days on end, missing work and losing their jobs and potentially becoming homeless?
