The issue is not "The House," the issue is Speaker Johnson refusing to allow the legislative branch to govern. He has a name, so please use it. He is more of a dictator than that sick old man in the White House.
A consequence of decades of the media treating the House of Representatives as an afterthought. The Speaker has eliminated half the legislative branch from participation in the governing of the United States by simply sending everyone home. And it isn't even a major news story!
This is factually incorrect. There is no "lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation." There are republican representatives and senators deliberately sabotaging Congress on behalf of Trump. Please do not cover for them like this.
Here are the names of the people who are oath-sworn to maintain the constitution and American democracy: www.senate.gov/senators/ and www.house.gov/representati.... Those you need to contact are the republicans in each house. They are control both houses and they make the decisions to do nothing.
Trump stopped having rallies because he wasn't getting the applause he feeds on. He now gets all the bootlicking he needs from his White House minions, bootlicking rich people at fancy events, and constant press coverage. His craving is fed this way.
Here are the names of the people who are oath-sworn to maintain the constitution and American democracy: www.senate.gov/senators/ and www.house.gov/representati.... Those you need to contact are the republicans in each house. Do not accept platitudes or pleas of helplessness.
The White House is publicly owned and has been a symbol of civilized, democratic leadership for over two hundred years. I know a lot of leftists have successfully neutered themselves from any connection with traditional social mores, but, yes, this building has always been an American icon.
The people you should be engaging are the republicans in the House and Senate. If a half dozen of each chose to stand against Trump, the legislative branch could take action.
Literally, Trump's entire coup depends on maintaining discipline among his minions in Congress.
Are you aware that the famous American movie "The Ten Commandments" is set in Egypt? And that the opening of the famous American movie "Superman" is set on the planet Krypton? I understand Londoners found the stagy setting in this movie to be a bit off.
It was an American movie made by Warner Brothers in Hollywood based on a Broadway musical with songs written by American Allan J. Lerner. Most of the characters are played by British actors, although the female lead was Dutch. Londoners commented at the time that the scenery a bit off.
Oh, dear, the "democratic strategists" are back again, hiding their identities while talking to Beltway reporters. We always need to remind people that there is no such thing as a "democratic strategist." It is just an MSM code word for "unemployed consultant."
You know, if someone had been talking like this seventy or a hundred years ago about his ideal woman . . . well, he would still have sounded weird as shit.
Billions, actually. He controls the world's most powerful military and several thousand nuclear warheads. Pity that such a vast share of voters and the media insist on treating national politics like a reality TV show where being entertaining is more important than being moral and intelligent.
