4. That was no "confrontation"

Shit-ffer let him go on and on and on with bullshit talking points without answering any of the questions.

It is the job of CONGRESS to hold hearings, draft/mark-up legislation, vote it out of committee, bring it to the floor for further debate and passage (or rejection), and if passed, have it passed in both chambers, and then send it to the President. The President can either agree with it and sign it or disagree with it and veto it. If vetoed, Congress can decide whether to leave it at that or override the veto (requiring 2/3rds of each of the chambers).

This is basic Civics, how a bill becomes a law, and the role of the 3 branches of government. This thing about the President's job being to "negotiate" with them before they pass a bill is complete bullshit.

Rethugs need to do their fucking jobs and so does the media.
