(8,103 posts)he would tell one half the Congress of strike plans and omit Dems from their input. If this info is true, then this is the single most action that destroys Congress. I don't see how anyone can say that the Congress is detroying itself, when the Dems are ready, willing and more than able to discuss what a proper Congress discusses.
This is rumpy's fault. This was his own choice. Don't confuse the Iranian ambitions, what they have/had, and what we did to it with the manner in which rump worked this out. This only helped his dictatorial agenda.
And I agree that we must keep our eyes on what is happening in THIS country, for they will not stop expanding rump's unilateral power. We are already a dictatorship, when he excludes Dem-elected Congress people from decision making. When did members of the Trump Party dissent from trump's wishes? That was a done deal. If its true, then this is really bad.
And look, Gabbard said something contrary to his wishes, and she'll be out soon. She is now useless to him. Perhaps she was trying to do her job, but she opened her mouth and perhaps truth leaked out. A big no-no in Trumplandia.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
