In sum, the Legislature is bestowed by the Constitution to have all the law making powers of the U.S.

The Executive Branch has the responsibility to make sure those laws are properly executed.

Therefore, not even the president has the power to be doing what Elon Musk is doing.

Jim Jordan does not want to do the job he has campaigned for and won. Kinda like a coach that looks the other way when students are being abused.

Listen up America to the truth. The wrecking ball is out in full force it needs to be answered like this....

Jamie Raskin, a true patriot.

That other guy, JJ, is trash.

Because truth doesn't bring in larger and larger profits. Much more lucrative to ignore the clear and present dangers and dance about the edges of the expanding circle of fire. If they show how Fatso and the Afro Nazi are destroying democracy and our individual freedom the public will know what's going on. In which case, what will the media report on tomorrow?

Oh, I know, I know what they'd report on: somebody in football or baseball did something bad. Or some unimportant celebrity got caught with an underage girl or boy. Or: Oooh look at that fire out west; ain't it terrible. And, of course, here comes the Superbowl!! How great it is that we can all gamble on the game at home! now, thanks to our sponsor, FanDuel!

If the "news" media picked up the Jordon and Raskin back and forth, I can guarantee they would show Jordan as the winner-- or at least clip the video enough to suggest that it ended in a tie. "There you have it. Two eloquent Representives argue about DOGE. Who's right? You decide."

Rep. Raskin delivers not only a scathing takedown of the MAGA outlaws, but also a concise and brilliant constitutional primer. Highly recommended.
