Nobody has to write a directive that the Senate cannot pass any laws.

The Senate is doing pretty good at not passing laws at all, entirely on their own, no help from anybody.

Fire Mueller, McMaster, Rosenstein, and a few others. Let the howling begin. The sooner it’s done the sooner we get the business of governing this country moving again.

Congress' THEFT of power from the Executive Branch is getting out of control. The Russia sanctions bill is an example of that. Congress is hamstringing Trump. EFF'EM ALL.

This country desperately needs a Civil War in order to fix things. The longer it's delayed, the stronger the Deep State gets, so.. Bring it on. Let's go.

I threatened to LEAVE the Republican party during Obamadullah's reign. BUT NOW I AM REALLY GOING TO DO IT.

FU DEMOCRATS, FU REPUBLICANS, FU CONGRESS.

Republicans in Congress TOTAL SILENCE when it comes to standing in defense of Trump is DEAFENING.

This proves GOP/Rat collusion. The GOP has calculated that it is politically safe to oust President Trump.

Take back our republic, Article V COS now!

Trump needs to leave the Republican Party too. Let the Uniparty coup be open and transparent.

Ex post facto law.

Unconstitutional.

Senate is gone until Sept. 5th.

The world will be different by then, and this can be forgotten as it deserves to be.

“Republicans in Congress TOTAL SILENCE when it comes to standing in defense of Trump is DEAFENING”

The same Republicans that stayed silent and funded Obama’s 6 years of wholesale treason.

We need Nuremberg-style treason trials...NOW!!

Some senators should pass legislation demanding the termination of Mueller and disbanding the committee as there was no crime stipulated and it is a waste of time and money.

The Russian problem has been rampant since before the cold war, in fact it is less today then it was then.

We need a convention of the states to hold treason trials and hangings on the national mall.

What good is passing more laws when nobody in D.C. is following them?

There needs to be CONSEQUENCES to flouting the law.

Congress needs a reeducation into the division of powers. There should be a quiz and suspension for failures.

Would everything become crystal clear for you if you learned Sessions appointed DWS’s bro Wasserman to investigate the Awan case?

Isn’t it great though, that the Senate can move briskly to pass sanctions the president doesn’t want, and protections for the special counsel, but can’t find the time or motivation to do a damn thing regarding Obamacare repeal and tax reform?

Repeal of the 17th Amendment alone will have a tremendous effect on the DC swamp.

The 17th Amendment, a Mistake That Keeps on Giving.
