President Donald Trump attacked Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) on Sunday after she said Democrats are considering holding Trump’s allies in jail if they continue to defy subpoenas from the impeachment inquiry against Trump.
“A despicable human being!” Trump tweeted while retweeting a Hill article on Tlaib’s comment.

The Hill’s report originated from Deadline Detroit’s interview on Saturday with the Democratic congresswoman, who is participating in the inquiry as a member of the House Oversight Committee.
“If [Democrats] were to detain someone, where would they go and have them detained so that they can comply with the subpoenas?” Tlaib said.
“There have been actual serious conversations about what the logistics would look like–if we did have to force someone through a court order to come before the Congressional committee,” she continued. “This is pretty uncharted territory for many of us and even for Congress.”
GITMO has available spots to detain them before and after trial.
Maybe if more Dems jumped on this bandwagon and started shouting this repetitively, Trump wouldn’t get away with this.
I am frankly tired of subpoenas being treated like traffic tickets, to quote Bill Maher. It is past time to start using the weapons available for these scofflaws.
3 hots and a cot in a local DC jail should get them to reconsider their obstruction.
So “Lock Her Up” is good, and “Lock Him Up” is despicable.
I wonder what the differences are?
What Tlaib has said has been talked about for many weeks now by many members of congress, at least in theory. But Tlaib is uniquely positioned to drive Trump and his minions a little crazy. No, they don’t like to hear a WOC talking about conveying them to the gaol at all. World turned upside down, dogs and cats living together…
