GOP press conference right now is pathetic

After being left out in the cold on the trade deal, Kevin McCarthy is on TV essentially arguing that Congress should be totally subservient to the president. Could he be more irrelevant?

GOP LIES....Steve Scalise stated why the Dems want to impeach Trump is that " they are afraid he(Trump) Will get re-elected ".

If that is their defense, it will not stand.

It would be helpful if they'd READ the damned thing!

Kevin. "Three CO-EQUAL branches of government." Article I outlines your role in that. NOWHERE does it say that Congress is "subserviant to the president." That's just some shit either Trump or McConnell made up and fed to you.

Bless your dumb ass heart...

You had two years of untrammeled power: White House, Congress, Courts. Why didn't you do all this stuff then that you're yammering about now?
