"she needs to support the president"
- Rep Timmons on Sen Darline GrahamStrange how the #GOP thinks that the job of #Congress is "to support the president".
NOT to act as a check & balance against the executive branch, NOT to represent the people in their states, NOT to do what's best for the #USA.

So they literally took 1 trillion from the poor and gave it to the ultra rich. And another trillion for the very rich. Repubs are evil monsters, vile filth.

Jim Himes has done literally nothing to try to get the fascist criminal impeached and removed. Jim Himes is in direct violation of the oath he swore to defend the Constitution. It is vile dereliction of duty. He should apologize and resign immediately.
