GOP Congress not ‘spineless’. Deliberately forfeiting its ‘checks and balances’ Constitutional duty far worse! Votemout!


Grover Norquist
 

The Republican Congress is content to forfeit its 'checks and balances' Constitutional duties to  provide cover for their extremely careless”, “grossly incompetent”, ”disqualified for president President putting party above country!
 
They are playing coy with Trump’s Putin Requested White House Meeting with the Russians national security threat;  impeding, obstructing and undermining the Russia investigation;  turning a blind eye on Trump’s lies, his Administration’s lies, his refusal to present his tax returns, his refusal to release the White House visitors log, his nepotism; his and his family’s business-related conflicts of interests and more!
 
Why?
 
To provide cover for the individual “with enough working digits” to sign-off on their Republican Agenda.
 
In a speech to the American Conservative Union on February 11, 2012 founder and head of conservative Americans for Tax Reform, Grover Norquist laid out the Republican scheme for conservative political domination in preparation for the 2012 General Election -
 
“All we have to do is replace Obama---We are not auditioning for a fearless leader.  We don’t need a president to tell us in what direction to go.  We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget…We just need a president to sign this stuff. We don’t need someone to think it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate […]
 
Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become president of the United States.  This is a change for Republicans: the House and Senate doing the work with the president signing bills. His job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has already been prepared.”
 
Deja Vu?
 
Fast forward to Trump’s first 100 plus days -
 
The Republican Senate steals and bends the voting rules to confirm their Republican Agenda pick for Supreme Court Justice - a nominee accused of plagiarism with a strong Republican Agenda track record on trampling voting rights, civil rights, women’s rights, and putting the desires of corporations above workers!
 
The Republican Senate confirms a racist Attorney General who lied during his confirmation hearings regarding his interactions with Russians and lied about recusing himself from the Russia investigation - without Republican reprimand.  (To date, Jeff Sessions has enacted Republican Agenda edicts for the mass incarceration of minorities, the denial of justice for, primarily Black, Flint Water victims; and the denial of justice for unarmed Black victims of rogue police enforcement killings.)
 
Overall, the Republican Senate is happily filling the swamp with Republican Agenda administration nominees whose qualifications include - but are not limited to...
 
  • Business ties to Russia;
  • Allegiance to Goldman Sachs, oil, mining, gas corporations and the rich;
  • Shady business dealings;
  • Pronouncements of bigotry, racism and anti-Semitism;  
  • Little to no knowledge about running the agencies they head, and
  • Pronouncements and/or actions to undermine the purpose of the agencies they head!  
  
 
Republican House votes to overturn Obama to the detriment of the American people fulfill Trumped Republican Agenda Executive Orders that…

  • Deny affordable health care;
  • Deregulate environmental protections to curb water pollution;
  • Deregulate environmental protections for clean air;
  • Deregulate consumer protections from corporate lenders
  • Squash the Flint Water Crisis investigation in order to protect Republican state officials;
  • Permit oil, gas and mining companies to engage in pay-for-play with foreign governments 
  • Overturn the restriction of the sale of guns to "severely mentally ill people" and
  • Facilitate the opportunity to rig elections by voting to shut down the only government agency that can insure that voting machines are not being hacked!!!

Forfeiting its Constitutional duties is non-negotiable! The  Republican Congress is undeserving of another term in office let alone for the office in which its members currently serve!
