    It seems that trump has a million critics demanding that the world stop turning ehile he is in office

    Including those who believe no cabneet member in history before trump ever misspelt a dollar decorating their office

    If I recall several have had to resogn for doing just that

    But you want congressional hearings

    Create your own job to come to every day.
    Why are you someone else's responsibility?

    McCaskill knew she was in trouble. She even said she didn't care who controlled the senate and house among other nonsensical things. The good news is the results show when an elected official votes their party over the wishes of the people in their state, the people can and sometimes kick them out. Indiana, North Dakota, Missouri. Or keep them if they like the senator and consider him worth keeping, Tester, Montana.

    The bad news is these party votes over the wishes and wants of the people has to happen close to the election. Most Americans have short memories along with newer events and happenings replacing whatever you were angry at the elected officials for. I also think we've been in an realignment era in the senate over the last 10 years or so. Where we are going to two GOP senators in red states and two Democratic senators in blue states. Where like presidential elections where we have but 8-10 states in play with the rest already decided prior to any vote. The senate is shaping up like that.

    YES I DO

    And I supported those that were removed for it.

    I also said that I believe in investigating when the evidence exists. NO witch hunts, their needs to be evidence to support before we do it.
