How sick is the executive branch of our government now that Congress has to treat the POTUS like a spoiled and out of control rich kid.

Lame Duck president after only a few months. Considering that HIS party is technically controlling all govt branches makes it even more pathetic.

Due to those with T.D.S. (Trump Derangement Syndrome) or the "Resistance" who will riot,loot,burn and otherwise throw fits and those that will back Trump or any other President no matter what idiocy he either says or does this country is now legislatively paralyzed and civilly starting to spin out of control

It's going to be interesting to see which side wins and/or what's left when they do. Will we become the land taken over by illegal cross border invaders or, will we end up in WW3 with rioting/looting in most major metro areas or will people be too stoned on their legal weed to care?

Maybe our monetary system will finally collapse when we hit too much debt and other countries refuse to buy it or China starts selling off.
Gonna be a fun next 3.5 years that's for sure, I predict popcorn sales are going to go through the roof!

Yeah, it is like "Whose turn is it to watch the idiot this week ?" This whole Presidency is beyond bizarre, it is unimaginable. Glad to see they are starting to realize it and are limiting the damage this buffoon can inflict. Hope they keep sharp instruments away from him when not supervised.

When you have to baby sit a 70 year old man, you know it is bad.

Agreed.

I believe we're starting to see actual intelligent adults stand up in Washington to take the reins of our nation back. It seems like they've had enough. Hope it continues.

The Republican majority Senate took away Trump's ability to modify Russian sanctions without the approval of Congress. Now this. And then a Grand Jury being convened. Another tough week.
