The ballroom characterizes the American response to Trump. [View all]

Without authorization, Trump gave orders to destroy the east wing of the White House to build a gawdy ballroom at taxpayer expense. He had no authority to do so, but he did it anyway, got a lot of tsk tsk tsk's from Democrats, as they turned back to their nest feathering fund raising.

"Not in the majority!" "Can't do anything!"

Tsk Tsk Tsk

Now the east wing is gone, and finally progress on the ballroom is halted in the courts.

Do we not see something inherently wrong with this?

Then, surprise, that war in Iran that he claimed Obama and then Biden would start to get out of political trouble, he starts to get out of political trouble.

Tsk Tsk Tsk

"Not in the majority!" "Can't do anything!"

Look at everything he has done that the Constitution prevents the president from doing and he gets away with it because no one will tell him NO! And I might also say, look at all the GOP did to get in Obama's way during the first two years of his term when they were in the minority.

My votes in the miderms are going to be reserved for the bold, courageous risk takers who are willing to find ways to get into the legal system and shut this madness down. He has to go now, so go figure out how to get that done. "We can't" or "We're not in the majority" is no longer acceptable.
