NEWS ? We passed a bill to block President Obama from issuing new regulations in the final days of his presidency.


Today, the House passed legislation to block President Obama from issuing new rules—also known as midnight regulations—during his final days in Congress. Speaker Ryan discussed the need for this bill at his weekly press briefing this morning.

How unexpected.

America is facing a fascist fuckwit tearing up all standards.

Ryan is a measly little worm.

It's the House's way of acting like the Senate, showing no respect for the President. Senate didn't even hold hearings to confirm a vacancy for the Supreme court. Now the House feels even more embolden to continue to be racist and not allow the President to even enact regulations for the tiny bit left of is term.

I am sick to my stomach at what we have become. Honestly right now, I don't think America is worth it. Sorry Hillary, I know you said that America was worth it, but right now I don't think anyone could be bothered to care. And if something isn't worth caring for then it generally isn't worth much. My hope is fading fast.

It's not a normal year. Hillary should stop acting like any of this is normal. She really should take back her concession and fight for what she really did win! There is precedence, Gore 2000. And this is not a normal year. If we don't want to lose the USA we have to fight back. And we need someone to lead that fight. I would love to see Hillary fight for what she won, and lead the fight for us to stop this non-sense before it can't be stopped.


If she comes back and fights, I will stand with her.

If it protects us from what dumpman would do at the end of his term that would be good. But, obviously we want Pres. O to do as much as possible for the Nation before he leaves.

#1 - Seat Merrick Garland !!!!!

it also has to be passed by the Senate, and the President has to sign it.

Time to move Garland to the SC, as republicans passed-up their chance to question him.
