Grassley is an old man; he canā€™t be expected to carry all of Donnieā€™s water just because the dumb-dumb brigade is too stupid to help.

@imkmu3 Can we fast-forward to the part where all of the glints become the headlight of an oncoming train?

Grassley wrote in his letter to Trump. ā€œYou are being ill-served and ill-advised.ā€

See, itā€™s not Trumpā€™s fault.

Itā€™s the fault of those deep-state bureaucrats who keep our glorious leader from making America great again!

El Jefe cannot fail, but can only be failed.

ā€œFor OLC to so fundamentally misunderstand and misstate such a simple fact exposes its stocking lack of professionalism and objectivity,ā€ Grassley wrote in his letter to Trump. ā€œYou are being ill-served and ill-advised.ā€

Fuck off, Grassley. You showed the depth of your ass-holery when you blocked Merrick Garland (and anyone else) from a fair hearing. Youā€™re a fool and a liar, just like Trump. The pasture is waiting, go out to it.

Grassley, like most senators. doesnā€™t like having the Senateā€™s power questioned. I was shocked but that is a 7 page letter telling the WH that the senate isnā€™t fucking around.

Trump and his henchmen continue to ignore the constitution. Trump is the most corrupt president EVER !! And itā€™s only been 4 months. Even Grassley appears to have had enough.

Gtassley can be a partisan hack of the worst sort but he has been around long enough to know not to let the executive branch undermine his powers under the constitution. The idea of treating committees of congress as if they formal stature, and treating committee members as if they were subordinate, would be a dangerous prescient.
