Thirty years as an auditor taught me one thing: whoever signs the checks sets the terms.
Congress holds the power of the purse. That isn't a talking point, it's Article I. Every agency budget, every program, every dollar the White House wants to spend has to pass through this new majority first.
So the answer to "how will you work with him?" is simple: the same way any board works with an executive. Show us the plan, show us the numbers, and we'll decide what gets funded.
In my house we call it the kitchen rule. You don't get a new renovation until the last contractor's been paid.
Yes! I agree with your suggested answer. But to hold Trump accountable, won't Congress have to start the process of expanding the Supreme Court since ratification by the states will take so long. We need a Court that believes, as the Court did when it decided the tapes case against Nixon, that no one is above the law and that absolute immunity for a president's time in office is unacceptable.
Mitch, if this is your idea of a rant, you are delightfully old school. Definitely more dangerous than the cussers and yellers. I like your style. Pull no punches!
I understand what you are saying, but with the change in COS it is not easy. Miller is a dangerous PoS. It may very well be we didn't see the worst yet. Be prepared.
We have not seen the worst yet. All the more reason not to tiptoe around Trump/Miller. The only thing these people respect is strength. The corporate media is going to howl no matter what. Screw 'em. Stand tall, we bury the evil dudes. Show them any conciliation and they will be right back to their manipulation and cheating.
Who controls the US Marshals Office? If it’s Congress, they need to increase their staff and ensure leadership is not in bed with tRump. They are going to be busy.
absolutely, i keep saying the same thing. Everyone keeps tip toeing around him and his feelings. Screw that, show him the same respect he is showing us!!! I'm sorry but he has lost any and all respect as a leader.
Fine. Then show him up for the dilapidated monster that he is. He is going to get worse, no matter what the opposition party does. There is absolutely no gain in trying to conciliate with this criminal gang.
We should not raise unrealistic expectations for Dems while Trump/Miller & Co control the WH.
Focused investigations & (state) prosecutions of members of Trump's RICO enterprise...Dems need to unite with patient & persistent pursuit of reforms & accountability to create a sustainable New Deal coalition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3VYBwgHaCo

There's no point trying to reason with him it's 25th amendment time

🎯 That’s the ticket, Mitch! 💯

DOJ, unfortunately....
I was afraid of that.
If he has a shred of brain in his orange head, he must work with them or he will be in prison for the rest of his pitiful life.
People want accountability and they are prepared to fight for it, he has a lot to answer for, and they will not be merciful
because he wasn’t president for them, he lied and stole the little they had.
His hooligans killed Americans for no reason at all, that will not be forgotten.
You just said exactly what I’m thinking!!

Absolutely…He never had it to begin with.
Absolutely true! Feet to the fire and make it HOT!
Roger that! Keeping him from causing (further) collateral damage is not going to be easy.
80 year old narcissistic dementia patients don't change, except to get progressively worse.
