I know. I still wonder with people who might spend hours online criticizing the president: what are they doing in the US? I understand it is their citizen's right to complain, but in this cyber era, it just seems really sketchy.

Well, thankfully if they're sitting in their basement eating Cheetos, swigging Jolt, and whining about the government, they're not going to have much time for any shenanigans elsewhere.

Why do you omit his first name?

Yeah, that's true. But no matter how you cut the mustard, it's still rude.

Another victory for the world's greatest propaganda ministry.

You should know, if you read the U.S. Constitution, that the president is the highest ranking servant, executing the laws enacted BY CONGRESS. And that he has NO AUTHORITY to spend except that which CONGRESS gave him. And that all blame for the current and past fiascoes must lie with CONGRESS, who controls the budget, enacts the legislation, and so forth.

If I am wrong, please direct me to the appropriate clause in the Constitution and I shall be corrected.
