How about voting on judges? Or are you too busy to schedule those?

President Trump needs to declare himself an Independent.

Unless this includes a fixed date of completion this is an unconstitutional usurpation of power by the legislative branch over the executive branch.

I would challenge it in court immediately.

You can post as many links as u like.

It is not constitutional and Grassley knows that.
So why doesn’t Grassley just say that?

I am not concerned about the vote. In fact, it will be used
against GOP Senators up for election who vote for this bill.
It is their neck on the line, not mine.
I say go for it.

Will the president sign this bill? The answer is this so-called Bill will never reach his desk. Even if it did, he would Veto it.

Mark Levin said on his radio show a week or so ago that they cannot do this. Trump can fire him if he so chooses.

Regardless of who dismisses him, under the law authorizing special prosecutors Mueller can only be dismissed for cause. Whatever reason the Administration gives for firing him you can expect it to wind up in court.

This committee is a seive and a sham. Patriotic congressmen refuse to allow Grassley’s committee access to privileged information.

No! He needs to create a MAGA party with a clearly defined platform. Going independent does nothing.

Trump needs to designate his candidates in every upcoming election. Then we vote.

I agree with your unspoken assessment that McConnell is not a Senator.

if they pass it, Trump will be able to immediately fire the special counsel because of the challenge to his authority, it is a presidential tradition to reject interference the the executive.

“Trump is the only one standing between we the people and global totalitarianism.”

This cannot be stated enough. Trump is our last reprieve, our last gasp. If he fails, the Republic fails and globalism wins. We cannot be lulled into complacency by thinking there is some grand scheme in place to take out the deep state (such as the psyop Q). It is literally down to Trump and a few dozen legitimate patriots. And of course, we the people, if we are willing to get off our asses and demonstrate to the globalists that we will never allow ourselves to be controlled.

I, too, believe the Republicans enjoy the role of "The Loyal Opposition".

They're very good at playing that role. They've done it for years. Until Trump came along, they got away with the scam. That's why they all hate him.

There should be a response from all of his constituency on his Facebook feed,twitter, and phone calls to his office. If we want to turn this around we should do as the liberals do. Announce your opposition.

Maybe that’s the whole point. Make Chuckie shut up.

I think the GOP-E / RINOs / Never Trumpers all see this Russia investigation as a way to keep Trump in check.

Tit for tat - Trump needs to do an Executive Order nullifying any law Congress passes and to make the Speaker an Senate majority leader a presidential appointment.

It’s almost as if they are pushing us to insurrection and civil war. I have never seen anything like this in my life before.

Every time I think someone is decent and honorable working for the people and this country they manage to disappoint. I don’t trust any of them anymore and it will be difficult to vote in the next election.

Let me get this straight.

Trump is going to veto a bill preventing him from doing something he wasn’t going to do anyway?

The trouble with that is he tends to say far too many nice things about far too many not nice people. Witness his praise of Paul Ryan yesterday. That was stomach-churning.
