About dang time. Use the tools they have. Hammer time! Past hammer time if you ask me.
Who woke up the lazy bass turds?
They have had the Majority and act like they are still Obama’s yard dog.
Wow, and I’d already gotten good news this week. If it comes to pass, this is even better.
I would say "Your funds are cut NOW, no excuses".
This is nothing more than a weak, limp wristed response to satisfy the masses, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. If he were serious he would use the Tools CONGRESS HAS to FORCE THE ISSUE TODAY, Not Tomorrow by LOCKING THEM IN THE CONGRESSIONAL JAIL::
STOP MAKING EXCUSES, CONGRESS IS REFUSING TO DO THEIR JOB! They are just a COMPLICIT as every lying pos in the Administration. Because it all leads right back to the Leadership of BOTH PARTIES!
Congress has ALL the power in washington, the executive and judicial branch operate according to the whims of CONGRESS!
Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish.
Congress can declare WAR
No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!
CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!
Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)
If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.
Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.
Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.
Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

I want to believe the gop or actually the gope is serious but how many times do I have to remove the knife from my back?
Why not cut the 1/2 White House budget too? That’s where the orders emanate. Cut it down to 1 cent on the premise that the whole group as they stand are not worth 2 cents.
I got $10 that says it's nothing more than kabuki theater, and that, in the end, budgets will be increased and the House will still have the same amount of info they have now. I'll send that $10 to Jim as an additional donation to FR if I'm wrong.
What a joke.
How many years? Still nothing?
Dead people.
No answers.
Heck, no decent questions.
Trey Gowdy is a tool of the Uniparty protection racket.
Let us see some criminal referrals of clinton to justice.
State Dept. misplaced $6B under Hillary Clinton: IG report.
$700. Vs $6B. What a deal.
First news of this posted on FR before Shortly after 9 AM. As of almost 9 PM, there are under 40 posts on two threads combined.
I think that shows just how much faith people have in “Lesser Evil” being the proper course of action even if they refuse to speak against it openly.
As always, actions speak louder than words.
Benghazi ping.
Catching up on recent stories.
Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.
Target the cuts to salary and bonus for senior state dept officials, and they might have something.
otherwise - nada
$700 million wouldn’t even cut down their unauthorized entertainment spending.
