Trump has broken me almost to the extent he has DEMOCRATS. I can no longer keep up, events are moving too quickly…

That was/is the plan, right? Come on like an acre of garlic and blow the SOP of ping-pong media jabs, slow walks, another "study" -"Committee" - Investigation, all rabbit holes. All they have left now are frivolous Lawfare lawsuit delays. Except for the MSNBC fans, they don't seem to realize what functional rejects they are.

I’d like to see some interspersed COMPLETED actions, a perp walk, or anything else that fills a milestone in. Lots of started work, few completions, even given it’s only seven weeks…

Since we spoiled the children when they were spared the rod, perhaps we should implement public lashings or caning for them as adults? Just brainstorming, but it seems to work in other countries.

Brad, No, you can't hit the kids anymore. I think waterboarding is still okay.

Frank, House slippers? LOL! That's not serious punishment. It's an emotional attack. Typical Italian. LOL.

Frank, True. My family was too poor to be able to afford house slippers. House slippers were for rich guys in smoking jackets with a pipe like Hugh Hefner. I'm beginning to wonder about you and your family, Frank. Are you from Chicago?

"Spoiled Bratness" sounds like "Spoiled Bratwurst"... not good in either case.

BW is right about Congress being a den of thieves. All the rest is a show. Reminds me of this scene from Finding Nemo:
