Pirro Blasts GOP: 'You're In Power - Do Something' to Pass Trump Agenda

[libertybele]

Great commentary and she is absolutely correct.  It is a slap in the face that we have a super majority yet the RINO's in Congress are still hell bent on their agenda and refuse to listen to or respect the voice of the people and it is very disheartening that they do not respect this President.  The fact that there are very few conservatives and very few who actually want to move this country in a positive direction is starkly obvious.

Pirro Blasts GOP: 'You're In Power - Do Something' to Pass Trump Agenda

In her Opening Statement, Judge Jeanine Pirro criticized Republican lawmakers for essentially sitting on their hands while Democrats "railroad" President Trump.

Pirro said there is a "subtle Republican plot" to bring down Trump and install another establishment Republican president similar to George Bush or 2008 nominee Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).

"It's the biggest danger to the country," she said. "Other than Newt Gingrich, few if any Republican politicians vociferously support their president."

Pirro said the establishment is fine with seeing Trump be "railroaded" by Democrats day in and day out.

"Think about it. If he's knocked out, the succession is clear and things go back to the way they were," she said.

  judge!

I don't know much about Pence, but I shutter to think of a President Ryan or Hatch.  I can't help but reflect back on hearing Ryan's speech after President Trump's inauguration, amazed by all the lies that came out of his mouth.

This is what the Republican party has become, naked for all to see. At least those willing to see...

The reality is this:


Our form of Government was not meant to ram things down people's throat.. The Dems did this with Obamacare, guess what they paid for it.  If a lot of people on our side really actually relearn basic Civics maybe we would ignore morons like Pirro.


The only way things get our way is if we have a Parliamentary for of Government (which is not wise), then I suggest we all understand on how this Government works.


Not the fantasy world but the real world..

The GOP does not have a supermajority in Congress.

Also, whoever says that is lying..

And there you have it. It's not the fault of the Dims anymore that our country is swirling in the toilet bowl,it IS the fault of the alleged Republican insiders that resent an outsider coming in and taking the top spot without decades of kissing rings.

I will personally not vote for or contribute as much as ONE THIN DIME to ANY alleged Republican that doesn't support Trump,regardless of who is running against them.

If we are going to have a country heading downhill to revolution,let's go ahead and have it. The sooner the  better.

I am an AMERICAN,NOT a Republican OR a Dim Party Creature.

The fact that there are very few conservatives and very few who actually want to move this country in a positive direction is starkly obvious.

They are not conservatives. They are self-serving Party People who care more about their own status and power than they do the welfare and survival of America.

I disagree. There is nothing subtle about it. They aren't even trying to hide what they are doing or why they are doing it It's all about protecting their own positions and power.

Pirro is the paid propagandist pig who started screaming that people have to support "Trump the presumptive  nominee" after the Vermont primary or they were committing treason.

She's garbage with a foot fetish.

It is very difficult in this day and age for the people in Congress to actually know what the people want. Not only are they in the echo chamber of the inner Beltway, but subjected to the results of biased and rigged polls as well as very vocal astroturf campaigns. Add in any filtering by staffers who might harbor bias, and what they hear and what we think might be two very different things.

Yeah,and the last sentence is the key one. Our true enemies have not stuck their heads up out of the fog where we can see and identify them,

Judge Pirro isn't the moron. The morons are the blind sheep Party People. Know anyone like that?

This post will be vilified or ignored.  But that doesn't change its truthfulness.

The demands for party loyalty should not override the duty for loyalty to their constituents.

Nothing irritates me more than seeing a conservative flap their gums about federalism then turn around and try to remove someone else's congressman. It tends to be a massive waste of time, money, and energy that could be better spent on productive things.

That and the fact that very few give a damn what you or I think! They have one interest that transcends all others and that is getting re-elected and the money guys over on K Street are a big part of their getting that done!

I have a little different perspective. The liberals can scream rigged polls and collusion all they want. Those at the voting booth spoke loud and clear.  They didn't wan't Hillary's liberal agenda to continue.  They wanted what Trump campaigned on; a border wall, repeal of Bammycare, conservative SCOTUS, jobs and better trade deals.  Congress has only assisted our President with one of those issues.  I think the rest is pretty obvious.

Not true.  Clinton won the popular vote, so if that is the measure, then it should be Clinton's agenda that gets enacted.

I think a lot of people forget that a lot of Congressman represent purple districts... Meaning not a deep red district.

I may agree with another jurisdiction's candidate, but my right to determine representation in Congress ends with my district.  If there is an apparent disparity in funding or media treatment, the temptation to meddle is great, though.

With all the alleged rigging and tampering and Obama-style vote early vote often and motor voter in states where illegals can get a drivers license and be registered to vote on the spot? As uninspiring as many found Trump, Hillary barely squeaked by on the popular vote, even with all the skulduggery. The media were so sure the 'fix' was in that Newsweek had to recall magazines celebrating her election. (Oops). No wonder she was stunned. Sorry, sad to say, but I even question the popular vote totals.

Do people just not understand that, or do they just ignore it because it doesn't fit with their personal policy preferences?  I honestly can't figure that one out.

Pirro is making the all-too-common assumption that the GOP is monolithic -- that having an "R" after your name means you are bound to a specific set of positions.  That isn't true, and never has been.  In a two-party system, there are inevitably going to be some pretty huge difference within each party.  Referring to the GOP as a singular "you" or "you're" is just a fundamental misunderstanding of the way things are.

And it doesn't get any better if you go multi-party, either.  You'll have more purity, but you won't be changing the total calculus regarding support for specific issues one iota.  You'd be changing labels -- that's it.

Because the Republicrats have been conflating the party name with "conservative" all this time, people tend to attribute conservative policies/beliefs where they should not. That much is obvious. There was a time when Party Platforms meant something, and Party Candidates were expected to adhere to them. The policies embraced in those platforms were, at times the subject of vigorous debate, but if you rode for the brand you were expected to toe the line. Now, it's a la carte. Therein is part of the problem. Choosing one or the other becomes a matter of brand loyalty, while the contents come from the same fertilizer plant.

So... we should then allow CA to determine the course and agenda of this country?  Swell idea.
