People need a backbone with this guy - he works for us.

I actually thought of that - but thought of it in the context of - If Trump starts disobeying court orders and the rule of law is irrelevant what good are taxes in that kind of a society?

I might have yelled back:
âJust do your job & get the tax refunds out and the SS checks delivered, Mr. President.â

You could do that - Iâm not sure if it breaks through but no harm in trying.
I think what breaks through is people being affected. Thatâs how Americans are sadly.

I expect the Feb jobs report to be down from January but not atrocious. The big blows will occur with the March jobs report and the GDP number for the 1st Q.

Holy cow.

I think any press conference now provides a false sense of doing something . They wonât break through I donât care who gives it.
People donât want to hear this but I think whatâs being done is fine. Bury them in lawsuits, let the public see whatâs happening for themselves l, make them govern.

The answer on the tax bill is so easy even your average member of Congress can answer that- lol

âWhy wonât you vote to raise the debt ceiling and pay Americaâs creditors?â
Answer: âRaising the debt ceiling goes to providing billionaires a massive tax cut which they do not need.â

Hereâs how to respond to the Beltway press corps:
âWhy wonât you vote to fund the government?â
Answer: âWhy would I vote to fund a government that redistributes income from working Americans to billionaires?â
comment in response to
post
I believe Democrats must be steadfast & stick together and vote âNOâ on all this stuff even on the debt ceiling which is a stupid legal fiction.
Vote NO.

If didnât vote, sat out and think it wasnât important enough, or it didnât affect youâŚ
In the words of the Canadian band Rush: âIf you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.â You indirectly assisted, thatâs not vote shaming - thatâs just a fact. Maybe one you donât like, but a fact.

Everythingâs relative but when youâve been spoiled so long you donât realize youâre spoiled it becomes ânormalâ and people have no patience and believe government is there to be one big customer service operation.

Yes but at some point for people who are not in their cult that gets old. If Trump had a mandate for anything it was turn the economy around which in the average Americansâ minds is misguided but simply make things affordable.

Itâs better and will get more publicity when they take the House back to introduce that and force the Senate to address it. Iâm confident there will be a package similar to when the government gets funded after a shutdown

Iâd love for one Member of Congress to get up there and tell Trump he works for Congress - but thatâs a different story.

In terms of cost, the Post Office costs the taxpayers $5B - it costs $90B to operate and generates $85B in fees. But Congress can alter or modify or eliminate it if it chooses to.

These people wouldnât pass a 6th grade civics test. The most powerful branch is Congress because it is ARTICLE I. If you think back to your Colonial history, the government starts w the Continental Congress - the POTUS works for us, through the Congress not the other way around.

The post office is distinct from letâs say the Dept of Transportation which is not mentioned in the Constitution and is a creature of Article II. The post office being specifically mentioned in Art I is a âconstitutional agencyâ and only Congress can alter it.
comment in response to
post
Unconstitutional
Article 1
Section 8
Clause 7
Postal authority is Congressâ power, only they can choose to eliminate or privatize the postal service. It is distinctly an article 1 creation and thus is different than say, the Dept of Transportation.
