House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer said on Tuesday that President Donald Trump “seeks to establish a more authoritarian regime.”

Houer was responding to a question about whether former CIA Director John Brennan should be allowed to keep his security clearance after calling a sitting president’s actions “treasonous.”

At his regular pen-and-pad briefing with reporters, CNSNews.com asked Hoyer: “Former CIA Director John Brennan has publicly declared the sitting president ‘treasonous.’ Should he be permitted to keep his security clearance?”

Hoyer responded: “I’m very, very concerned. This is one instance—but there are so many others—where this president opts to promote totalitarian responses and processes, and seeks to establish a more authoritarian regime under his presidency. This is one of those instances. If Obama had done this with respect to Republicans, the Republicans would have been on the ceiling as they were with the IRS, looking at whether or not certain groups were getting a tax benefit to which they were not entitled.” …

Are illegals at risk if they vote?

Not true. If you are voting you are a citizen yourself. And there is not a situation where they voting rolls will be transferred over and there will be an investigation.

Hoyer: Trump ‘Seeks to Establish a More Authoritarian Regime’

Is it true that President Trump now wants to make us all buy his medical insurance that he calls Trump-O-Care?

And is going to make NASA spend their time and resources doing outreach to muslims?

And make the military accept open homosexuality within the ranks?

And make schools and businesses allow men to use the girls toilets and shower rooms?

“Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won. So I think on that one, I trump you.”

— Obama to Eric Cantor, January 2013
Amazing how Obama (accidentally?) prophesied the name of his successor, but not how that successor would dismantle his sordid legacy.

I meant it as satire, and forgot to do my usual /sarc after the “closet democratic” line. My bad.

Clinton would have made us like Mexico, with corruption, “donations”, and bribes the new American norm.

Hoyer is mixed up. It is Obama who wanted increased government control and Trump wants to send central government control back to the States.
