I've played nice long enough [View all]

I am tired of being the good soldier and going along with whatever the Dem leadership is doing. I won't do it anymore. I was noncritical during the campaign and never made suggestions, let alone criticisms.

But I just can't anymore. After trump dismissed 12 independent watchdogs in defiance of federal law, this is Chuck Schumer's response:

Trump's decision to fire 12 of the federal government's independent watchdogs is a glaring sign that it's a golden age for abuse in government and even corruption-- when government agencies disobey the law in the next year and there's no independent IG to keep them in check."

Okay, but what about when the president breaks the law by not notifying congress? Any comment about that? Any action planned beyond a stern letter? Or are we just rolling over and taking it (again)?

The point, Mr. Speaker, is that he is breaking the law by not notifying the congress. Please don't obey in advance. At least make it inconvenient for them. File a lawsuit. Something. My God.

Schumer's statement is not going over well on BlueSky.
