Unfortunately, that is only the first step in mending and restoring our democracy.

2. So the guy that wrote, "Reaganomics: Supply-Side Economics in Action" in 1981 and...

...worked for Republicans back in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s thinks the Congress of today is anything like it was back then?

Thanks for the lecture Bruce. And thanks for pushing the economic theories that haunt us today by the way....

And I do appreciate George, but impeachment really isn't a winning strategy IMO--and that has been covered here on DU many times.

Bruce may be right about what the Turnip malAdministration's strategy will be, but there is great power in controlling congress and having actual hearings, pushing legislation to the floor and making Republicans vote against it and the President veto it, and using the purse strings to rein in this Administration.

3. I think that's the bull pulpit he was speaking of. Will they be bullies though? I hope so.

4. I just don't think he actually knows what he's talking about. The term bully pulpit really only refers to...

...having a platform to speak and be heard about issues and pressure people to act on your agenda--which the POTUS certainly does have through numerous opportunities, but not so much Congress at any level.

His suggestion that the only real power of a Democratic Congress will be the bully pulpit is totally wrong unless you redefine the term bully pulpit to mean something different--which makes no sense to me since a pulpit is a platform or stand in a church used by clergy to preach, read scripture, and lead worship services; not a place where rhetoric is turned into action.

And, his suggestion that when he worked in the Congress in the minority and got a lot of things done back in the 1980s is in any way applicable to the way Congress works today is laughable on its face.

Now, in the 1980s there was much more of a bully pulpit for Congress because of the way people consumed news, so being able to get in front of news reporters and cameras made much more of a difference then--not so much at all in the age of Social Media and Faux News.

The way I interpret his post is:
- Democrats shouldn't even bother passing legislation or issuing subpoenas because they are going nowhere.
- The only real power controlling Congress will give Democrats is the ability to be heard when they speak out--based IMO on an antiquated idea of how media works.
- Because Democrats are not able to use the power of the minority like Republicans did 40 years ago they both do not know what they are doing and they do not even try to do anything.

I just happen to think he's out of touch and wrong.

But given his supply-side economic background, I think he was out of touch and wrong even back then.

5. What do we do? The parasite must be ejected from his ill gotten position of power.

And all those who made this horrible nightmare happen need to be fired and imprisoned as well.
