Hakeem Jeffries: "They [GOP] Are In Disarray/They Haven't Been Effective"- - LW News Outlets Disagree


Those illegal migrant hotels should be burnt to the ground and replaced with Trump-style resorts like were going to do in Gaza.

MAGA.
 
Gaslighting is one of the left's favorite pastimes.
 
I mean we are only 3 weeks into this administration so this is extremely funny from Jeffries. I suppose he has to sing and dance for the base but is he expecting the legislative process to move instantaneously? This sounds more like I better get out there and say something before people forget we are here.
 
In short, the constitution has failed us. Its time to go beyond it. Authoritarianism.

What is “authoritarian” about executive branch employees being accountable to the head of the executive branch?
Agreed.

Further, what is “authoritarian” about a president who wishes to reduce the size, power, expense and scope of the federal government?
 
... what is “authoritarian” about a president who wishes to reduce the size, power, expense and scope of the federal government?

He should take that up with Congress who is responsible for determining the size, power, expense, and scope of the federal government.

It is Democrats in Congress who are screaming to keep things as they are; corrupt, bloated, wasteful, expensive.
This suggests that doing what you suggest would be an utter and complete waste of time and effort to accomplish exactly nothing.

No, I welcome the exposure of the corrupt, bloated, wasteful, expensive to the bright disinfecting sunlight of the public, so that the electorate can hold their representatives accountable.

Democrats don't control Congress.

Then don't get tetchy when it is accurately pointed out you favor authoritarianism and the destruction of the republic.
 
Oh, the nonsense.
 
The left is corrupt. Their donors are corrupt, and they both want to keep it that way.
 
Democrats don't control Congress.
Do you really believe that I believe that Democrats are the only ones who are benefiting from corrupt, bloated, wasteful, expensive federal government?

Interesting. Because I don't. Further, Congress, with its entrenched political elites, don't get off their asses for anything nor anyone, regardless of necessary.

Your false accusation of authoritarianism is a fail.

What is “authoritarian” about a president who wishes to reduce the size, power, expense and scope of the federal government?
There is nothing.

History has shown that authoritarian regimes are all about increasing the size, power, expense and scope of the federal government, i.e. their own, not reducing.
Yup. Your false accusation of authoritarianism is a fail.

Unless he tries to do so outside the constraints placed on him by the Constitution. When he does that, he is being an authoritarian and attempting to destroy the republic, which you appear to support.

There is a process and a branch of government that determines the size, power, expense, and scope of the federal government. Ultimately, that is Congress. He is free to make his case or veto bills (which they can override) he does like. But that is it. If he wants to see USAID eliminated, Republicans control the Legislative Branch. He should phone them up.

So far it seems that the Democrats are making all sorts of allegations in the hopes that one of them will stick. Kinda like the lawfare they engaged in after Trump came out of office. Much is going to be decided in the courts on these issues, and I reserve judgement until the courts have rules and the appeals process as reached its end.

When he does that, he is being an authoritarian and attempting to destroy the republic, which you appear to support.
These are empty accusations trying to support an equally empty conclusion.

We'll just have to wait and see how all this unfolds. The play is still in the first act, so to speak.

True. There may be enough people who want to destroy the republic just like you seem to do.
 
My favorite quote is Winston Churchill's: “The best argument against Democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”
