[@bcallahan3806]

This B.S. about regulatory control by executive branch defies constitution and the whole concept of checks and balances.. Nadler's response is senile or ignorance. He's a lifetime bureaucrat that lives off the backs of taxpayers . Basic education as stated. Three branches of government only Congress can pass laws. Not executive branch nor administration. This B.S. by Democrats saying every little thing will have to be voted on is B.S.. First of all in this administration no head of their department is an expert in the department they head. They are political appointees that run the department and direct its focus. Regardless of party this bypasses checks and balances. Contrary to Nadler s statements as well as other democrats. It's not about morons in Congress that think they know everything about power and money, yet put us into unfathomable debt and on a brink of collapse. But to have the government work as intended. Checks and balances with people's input. Like Fauci did us big favors?

[@tuffdigger54]

California's governor Gavin Newsome should give back the $1.3 million dollars from the PPP grant funds during COVID-19 cuz Gavin Newsome even made a $100,000. profit from his silent ownership for the vineyards interest.

All that grant funds should be paid back immediately. How shameful they got away with it while others fell to the wayside. CA governor Gavin Newsome pay back that PPP grant funds.

Sorry Jim, Clinesmith was not hampered by the stipulations or rules governing FISA warrants. He blew through them and what did he get probation. He lied on a FISA warrant, falsifying evidence, and witheld exculpatory evidence, he ignored actual laws not rules and he got probation and still is a lawyer. Let that sink in hes still a lawyer a man who violated the entire premise of innocent until proven guilty, who ignored the laws on evidence, the gathering of it, and sharing all evidence both proof of guilt and proof of innocence with the accused, yet hes walking free and FISA is still in use even after its proven that its an abused tool.
