An incompetent administrator
The federal House of Representatives voted to indict President Trump upon articles of impeachment. The majority leaders of the Republican-controlled federal Senate have indicated that they will not support convicting President Trump of alleged impeachable offenses.
This without even reading or investigating these charges as summarized by the House of Representatives. In addition, they have indicated that they will not call witnesses to testify as to the validity of such charges.
President Trump has proven to be an incompetent administrator, a bald-faced liar, an alleged fornicator and adulterer, increased the size of the federal budget by $1 trillion and increased the federal debt to $23 trillion and has even proposed cutting back the subsidized lunch program for poor school children. This while granting billionaires and millionaires tax deductions and credits.
How much longer will the Trump supporters keep turning a blind eye to Trump’s actions? And the incompetent actions of the Republican-controlled federal Senate? Are these jackal and hypocritical Republicans going to white-wash these impeachment hearings?
What if President Hillary Clinton had done the above, would they remain silent, turn a blind eye as they are doing for Trump?
Well, we get the government we deserve.
