You speak the grim truth. When the President openly states he’s going around Congress (which is bad enough), and then in response, Congress shrugs... I wonder if the Founders ever imagined such a situation.
Well, I suspect the Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves.
Both of my parents are long gone. I miss them, but I am glad that they did not live to see what has become of the country that they taught me to love.
