I blame Boner and the Ditch Turtle and those who selected same.
Perdy needs to talk to his boss about it.
Or is this just for local consumption.
It isn’t an abuse of power when Congress sits on their hands, refuse to use all of The Constitutional checks and balances, and let the president do whatever he wants.
If anything, Congress seems complicit.
He has the full cooperation of the Congress. They keep funding everything he wants. They approve his nominees even when they testify that they will not adhere to federal law.
How did you vote on Cromnibus and DHS Sen Perdue?
Did you stand with Ted Cruz last December?
I agree. The Democrats stay in line like robots in a dystopian novel. And numerous Republicans deserve criticism also.
I have called their offices and raked them over the coals about this BS. Of course he didn’t vote for Lynch, etc., and they (all GA reps) pass the blame and act as if they are powerless. The Dems seem to get what they want even when they aren’t officially in power. There seem to be no consequences for denying the wishes of the voters. Anybody got any tar?
My Rep. Mike Kelly, District 3 Pa, seems disinterested and it seems like I am bothering him. I guess our priorities are just not the same.
It’s a serious problem that will be addressed by Congress during a GOP administration, and ignored again by the following Dem administration.
I’ve heard it said that he’s just simply treating Congress a lot like the way ones like Richard Daley, Jr and other Chicago mayors did (and still do) with the city council there. Just simply using bribes and intimidation in order to ram through agendas. And we all know what wonderful places Chicago and Detroit and other cities controlled by Democrats are (sarc).
And I wasted my vote on him.
Congress is full of cowardly critters. They have allowed him to do what he wants because they are afraid of being seen as mean by the beltway crowd. America by and large hates owebowma and what he is doing, but the talkign heads in DC seem to think it’s all OK.
“President Barack Obamas abuse of executive power privileges has essentially frozen Congress out of the government for the past six years.......”
That is because Congress has, and continues to allow him to get away with it. They can only blame themselves.
Ditto. The GOP surrendered. Its their fault Obama rules as dictator.
I’ve mentioned it elsewhere (forgive for repeating myself), but that there is a scene in the 1985 movie “Witness” that really captures my thoughts about the current situation with Congress and the Senate. After the Amish boy picks out the police officer (played by Danny Glover) as the perpetrator of the murder he saw in the bathroom, the Harrison Ford character figures out the corruption ring involving the crooked cop and the disappearance of a valuable ingredient needed to make speed and that Philadelphia was an important centre of the amphetamine drug traffic.
You can see the same sort of connection: the wealthy corporate masters need the cheap labour from the Mexicans and also (due to interest rates being kept artificially low) use the taxpayer as their unlimited credit card. So they will use ones like Boehner and McConnell and the rest of them to play these games with things like immigration and blowing out the national debt.
“They need the P2P stuff to make the speed and they’ll pay up to $5000 for a pint of it”-John Book, Witness (1985)
If only the Constitution allowed Congress to have the authority to challenge the President’s actions.....
An ineligible President voids the US Constitution which includes Article I (Congress) and Article III (Federal Courts). The People are sovereign. The People must form a new, national governing document.
"We have supported, and will continue to support, ALL treason against America.
It is what we do.
As for conservatives, you will soon get yet another IRS audit."
Did those who did not vote for Obama deserve him? No, but when it rains, it rains upon the just as well as the unjust.
An ineligible President voids all US federal law, rules, regulations, debt, grants, and contracts. The Washington Elitist have put America into bankruptcy.
The sovereignty of the People is granted by God. The People must establish a new, national governing document to form a more perfect union.
