Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown April 06, 2017, 12:29 PM

"House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) will temporarily step aside from an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, including interactions between Moscow and the Trump campaign.
The probe will be taken over by Reps. Michael Conaway (R-Texas), Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) and Tom Rooney (R-Fla.)

The fucking Republican party needs to grow some stones. The dims are going to harass them for the next four to eight years and they need to man-up.
Tell them to simply fuck off and get on with business. The dims have absolutely no problem lying to make life difficult for Trump et al and the only solution is to ignore and marginalize these traitorous bastards.

sdyNunes was not pushed by House Republican leadership to recuse himself, but
it was not helpful to have other Republicans, notably Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) join Democrats in questioning his motives and competence. Sunday, McCain told Martha Raddatz on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” Nunes was hindering congressional efforts to determine how the Russians interfered in the 2016 election cycle, when he communicated with the White House about information he gathered from a whistle blower with informing Democrats on his committee. “If we’re really going to get to the bottom of these things, it’s got to be done in a bipartisan fashion. And as far as I could tell, Congressman Nunes killed that.”

"bipartisan" what a joke. DEMs will do and say anything to hurt President Trump.
bipartisan is a fairy tale

sdyFox News Catherine Herridge:
The intelligence reports at the center of the Susan Rice unmasking controversy were detailed, and almost resembled a private investigator’s file, according to a Republican congressman familiar with the documents.
"This is information about their everyday lives," Rep. Peter King of New York, a member of the House Intelligence committee said.
Rice claimed during an interview with MSNBC earlier this week unmasking was done in order to protect individual American citizens, not to use their information for political purposes.

lbjThat's why Schiff is suddenly silent on the espionage of Trump.
Now his attention has been turned to defending Rice.

And, yes, my goodness, Trey Gowdy is so unqualified to step in and conduct such an investigation, isn't he? I guess we're sunk.
My being upset was based on not having all of the facts.

I like Gowdy, but am tired of lip service, it's time for some action. He, Chafetz, Lee, all talk a big game, but that's about all they've ever accomplished is talking tough.

You act like they're actually capable of doing much more than that. What else is in their power besides write bills and talk?

lbjI have to say that ever since Trump was sworn in things have been turned on the Democrats.
Democrats have been spewing political vitriol for decades and Republican never respond in kind.
The Democrats have never faced an opposition party dishing it right back at them and they are unsure what to do.
Finally, fighting fire with fire is the new motto.
It took Trump to get this going.

sdySecretary of State Rex Tillerson said Thursday that “steps are underway” on an international coalition to pressure Bashar Assad from power, as President Trump was being briefed on military options for Syria – though what specific steps the U.S. and its allies might take in response to the latest deadly chemical weapons attack remained unclear.
America’s top diplomat addressed the Syria crisis a day after Trump declared in the Rose Garden that the chemical strike would not be tolerated. Tillerson pointedly said Russia should “consider carefully” its support for the Assad regime, while calling for an international effort to defeat ISIS in Syria, stabilize the country and ultimately work with partners through a political process that leads to Assad leaving power.
Asked if the U.S. would organize a coalition to remove Assad, Tillerson said: “Those steps are underway.”
“It's a serious matter, it requires a serious response,” Tillerson said, adding the recent attack “violates all previous U.N. resolutions, violates international norms and long-held agreements.”
