Republicans to Trump and Corker: Please just stop

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

I'm absolutely correct regardless of who the president happens to be.

Pretty naive to believe that the President doesn't have a huge influence on legislation.

Do you know the difference betwee influence and control?  If not, there are a number of on line dictionarys that can help you sort it out.

Many Presidents have gotten legislation through Congress based largely on the strength of their ability to lead, persuade, and/or negotiate. They can’t control it but they sure as can influence it:  Bigly!

As much as I detest Obama, look what he was able to accomplish legislatively:  ObamaCare, a costly stimulus package, signed Dodd-Frank, bailed out the auto industry, won ratification of a new START Treaty, and expanded the CHIP program for kids.  He personally pushed for many of these legislative achievements and was personally involved in outlining, negotiating, and/or selling them.

Of course, I don’t expect Trump to do any of that for the equivalent legislation he wants.  He’s too busy fighting with the party he’s supposed to be leading and name-calling.

   Good point @Concerned

   GWB got major Legislation done~NCLB in his first 6 months (with a late start due to the recount), then 9/11 derailed any vision he may have had for his Country.
   Presidents can and do formulate policy and influence Legislation, at least that's the way it used to be.

How cute!  Bye!

I think that is the funniest animated gif I have ever seen.  I'm pretty sure that is what Trump is doing to the republicans telling him to "please just stop"

Dadgumit, if you're going to post a comic, at least post one you didn't just post in the Political Graphics thread.

That is entirely beyond the point, sir!

[Frank Cannon]

I see we need to have a vocabularly lesson on what "our" means.  I guess you were an only child like me.

@RoosGirl I had a sister.....until I set her up for arson when we were kids. That was the last time she bent up my Slinky.

Well, my dear, I beg to differ!

Anyone that puts a kink in a slinky deserves that and worse.

The only thing I like almost as much as making someone cry is making them beg.

Your my type of woman. You charge extra for the riding crop or is that complimentary?

Come on now, that is not at all what I meant.


Besides, you know they say if you have to ask you can't afford it.

Seems everyone’s an expert. They all want Donald Trump to stop doing what he’s been doing that successfully got him to the dance.

Where everyone else bows and curtsies and does the minuet, Trump does the Sabre Dance—and rather smartly, I might add.

[Frank Cannon]

That Madam is an insult. I certainly can afford it. I just need to know costs of things because as I stated earlier this week I need to convert cash to American Express travelers checks.
