When will Congress admit

that Trump and his GOP cronies are making Congress irrelevant?

Have they no pride, no dignity, no self respect? I really thought most people who run for office had pretty strong egos. Are they going to let Trump make fools of them???

They got their tax cuts and they're loading up the legal system with right-wing activist judges. Trump is also open to their other primary agenda item, cutting Medicare and SS.

They'll put up with pretty much anything (obviously) to get the real stuff they want.

Grover Norquist wanted government small enough to drown it in a bathtub and the evangelicals want their version of sharia law. So we're going to get a combination of both.

how many bills did they pass? Republicans run for office to do the will of corporate America and the rich. They don't need to pass laws to gut regulations on the environment and financial sector, etc. They packed the SC and federal courts with far right fascist judges. It will take decades to undo the damage done by the Trump/GOP criminal enterprise.
