What would you say he's not doing and Congress is? Also, you know Trump isn't getting a presidential paycheck, right?

Trump expenses more golf trips and such than any president before — all that travel costs taxpayers a lot more in the end than the $400,000/year presidential salary or whatever that he is foregoing

Frankly, as a multibillionaire, Trump does not need it; his decision to forego a salary is not really that impressive. Other wealthy presidents have returned their salaries in the past.

House Dems pass a lot of bills that are dead on arrival in the GOP Senate. These bills seldom receive press coverage but include priorities that should be bipartisan. Here’s a good article on this:

Not only that, but at 2.5 MILLION per day golfing, AT RESORTS HE HIMSELF OWNS!
Heck, he probably charges the taxpayers every time any of his entourage has to use his bathrooms.

What else does he have to do? It's not like there is any compromise from Congress. They obstruct everything he attempts thst would create any real change. Though to be fair, the Repubs were a complete shitshow before the Dems got control of the House. So much infighting that nothing got done then either.

Dude it’s the same regardless of who has the senate. “Oh x party passed a bill? You can just throw that in the trash.”

Democrats did the same thing to Republicans when they held the majority too.

Nope, you're wrong again. The dems only control 1/2 of 1/3 of the federal government; therefore, the onus is on them to work with the republicans. Not just that, but republicans picked up seats in the senate during the 2018 midterm elections. So, again, the onus is on the democrats to work with republicans and not republicans to bow to the minority.

And you misunderstood what I was saying clearly. This is our government, not the stock exchange.

If democrats led the senate right now they’d be trashing every idea republicans set up too. That’s how it’s been these past four decades. There’s two Instant rejections that Democrats and Republicans that hold the majority in the senate have in common when it comes to bills:

1. Because it’s the opposite party
2. Because it’s doesn’t align with my party’s interests.

If that isn’t putting party before country then I sure as hell don’t know what is.

But by all means probe me wrong.

Agree with most of what you've been saying, but the Democrats (AKA Republican lite) would NOT trash Republican ideas if they had the oppurtunity. As usual, for the sake of 'future compromise,' they have the uncanny knack for giving Republcans what they want way too easily.

From Bill "Don't Twist My Arm, I'll Sign It" Clinton to Schumer who had Congress by the balls over DACA during that really short gov't shutdown and suddenly caved in for totally inexplicable reasons before the weekend was halfway through, to offering $1.6 billion for the wall when the GOP offered zero for two years to Pelosi gleefully continuing the tradition, the one thing Dems & Repubs have in common is being a bunch of rich geezers with rich backers they love to appease.
Even the Impeachment is a farce, designed to pan out in Trunp's favor while satiating the base's (and some Dem newbs) call for them to do their damn jobs.

The DemoRepublicrats are a two headed single corp, and their interest is one, with some token fluff on the edges to justify their reelections.

But see, the problem is, whenever the Republicans were only in control of 1/2 or 1/3 of the federal government, the dems would say: America wants both parties to "work together". Now, it's amazing how the dems have been partisan with their tunnel vision on impeachment. That is fine. I am willing to wait for our MAGA congress come Jan 3rd 2021.

And it won’t do much for democrats. Wait and see. They’re only buying time right now. And unless something significant comes up, I doubt Trump is going anywhere.

I mean, look at all that Nixon did and he never saw a so much as a police officer. I know Vietnam vets that hate the guy, for example

We've had plenty of bipartisan bills running through Congress. The problem lies when the majority is corrupted and too busy trying to protect the criminal element running one of the thirds. When certain members of the majority have been compromised, the "onus" is on Democrats to stand up to the treasonous corruption and fight it to protect our democracy.

The impeachment scam is exactly what it is. It will go nowhere fast, hence the reason with stalling sending it to the Senate for trial. I mean, I seriously thought Pelosi was smarter than this, but apparently I was wrong. She is doing great harm to the democrat party and I am happy for it.

Don't forget his Scottish resort that he was making our military pay to stay at, and the Irish one where Pence stayed out a mere hour away from Dublin which he went there for, footed by the taxpayer, natch.

Of course, none of these impeachable Emoluments Clause violations have beeb brought up during this faux Impeachment show.

Those are Tea Party pics. Relatively sure none of them got fired, then again, for the civilized parts of the USA (the parts that ain't awaitin' fer tha slaves to come back restore their dead economies), taking selfies at Walmart all day isn't a legit job.

And some guy(s) getting fired ain't the Nuge and if anyone wants to stop MTV from playing Madonna's latest shot of mundane elevator music and end her overly extended 15 minutes, I'll gladly supply the handcuffs and dinner for the arresting officers myself.

There's no amount of TweeTearz that can convince anyone in the galaxy that this hate mongering charlatan has gone through anything remotely resembling what Obama is STILL getting as WE have witnessed on this site alone on a daily basis, unless you're comparing dishing it out to receiving it. THEN there's loads in common from them opposite angles.
Heck, THE reason this raging racist imbecile got elected was on account of the reactionary 'Negro lovin' Party of Lincoln' dolts all frightened that the Big Bad Blacks were gonna take over despite Republicans supporting darkie freedom sine fighting a waer to linerate them from the DNConfederacy (watch these bots copy that). Which, as we know, would cause the Demoncratz mucho discomfort in the plantations of Chi-town and Detroit who only elected him as a Communist plant so AOC yadda yadda good gosh, do Trumpites have eyes and does a pre-frontal lobotomy come with that GOP card now?

If you knew any better, you'd realize every president needs security detail. It wasn't some vast right-wing plot to assassinate Obama. If you knew how many threats every president got while in office, it would probably make your head spin. Security is needed.

See our problem is, we need to understand that his constant call for assassination is warranted.
