The courts are our only hope at this point. Maybe a constitutional crisis is what we need to shut the FELON, the fake president, and all the rest to stop. Innocent men are now being tortured because they are from Venezuela. He really is a Nazi, or do we have a new name in the USA? We certainly can't expect any help from Congress. They've abdicated their duties.

How many Constitutional crises are we going to have to have before somebody with the power to do something does something?

I’d love to know what all the MAGA Venezuelans in Florida think now.

As if Tillis can ever see the light. It appears he--others like him who stand for zero--the maggots, the near maggots, trump cabinet grubbies, those who voted for this asshole who are proud, and those who are too caught up in themselves to be bothered, and I fear many other mostly white and privileged have yet to acknowledge, because they do not wish to, that we are in deep shit.

This is one of your best, Tom. But I would argue Trump didn't so much take the power of the purse, but that the weak-kneed, spineless House (I'm lookin' at YOU, Mikey), handed it to him on a silver platter.

I font understand calling Thom Tillis “principled”. He supports Trump and his cabinet… he might mouth words he thinks people want to hear but he votes the way of Trump. He is useless

If the courts don't or can't get the marshals to start dragging members of this maladministration to jail for contempt, I don't think anything is going to stop them. Even that might not slow them down very much.

Hey! Generalizing like that is so MAGA. It makes me sad to see someone who probably has progressive views illustrate how easy it is to be bigoted. I’m a Lutheran and was taught coming up in the church to be open-minded & tolerant. What were you taught?
