Ryan Claims Congress Acquiesces To The President. Really?
Congress is “forfeiting” its power to the White House, Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said Thursday during a speech from the Capitol.
"Our problem is not so much that the presidency, under both parties, keeps breaking the rules, though it does,” Ryan said. "Our problem is that Congress, under both parties, keeps forfeiting the game, yielding to the executive branch, giving the president a blank check.”

ReplyDeleteThanks Tim.
ReplyDeleteThe NRA will hunt you down for spreading propaganda....eyes rolling.
Naw, it is time for an awakening to stop the slaughter of innocents with military grade weapons.
Obviously, there are too many crazy people out there that can get their hands on these high powered weapons with ease.
Sorry for the rant.
