The congress doesn’t deserve to be the congress if they don’t exercise their constitutional rights and duties.

If this “executive” isn’t stopped cold, there might not BE a Congress.

Just a reminder, Reagan shut down the government 3 times: 1981, 1984 and 1986.

An executive is always in a better position to weather the politics of it than the Congress. Largely because they get more airtime and more print coverage.

Personally, I see an Enabling Act in our future if we don’t shut it down now. Of course at this point it would almost be reduced to nothing but a formality.

@MelonCollie In respect to your 2nd comment on this thread, families earning in between 250-450K/year disagrees with you.

Because the Democrats haven’t gotten absolutely everything they’ve ever wanted right now even with the GOP surrendering, your points are all invalid. Derp derp derp…

Summarized.

Go Galt already, fool.

Wish I could say I expected more from you.

But I really don’t. That’s about your limit, isn’t it?

When exactly do we stop acting like Galtian mice and start acting like MEN?

But whatever, Johnny-Boy. Keep pretending we can outvote the Free-Stuff Party.

I’ve seen it before. I’m sure I’ll see it again.

You lost two elections, and the Republic is shattered

FTFY.

The GOP won an intervening election. It was in all the papers. Perhaps you didn’t get your copy that day?
