#1 Besides - what can Congress do? Demand that the Taliban 5 be brought back to Gitmo?

Yeah - the house can impeach him, if they want to be labeled the worst racists since forever. And it won't do any good, cuz there is no way the Republicans will win enough of a majority in the Senate to convict him.

#3 He'll just mint some magic trillion dollar coins and give them to the Fed so they can issue new money and pay the bills with. Congress? We don't need no steenkin' Congress.

#4 The problem isn't impeachment. The problem is that we'll be to the point where we'll all sit on our hands when someone/something takes them all out. The jokers don't understand that their base is not the type to 'give the last full measure of devotion' to the last. They might stuff a ballot box, might write a check, might march in the street, but ask them to die? That is real history, time and again. That's the day their universe changes.

#6 I think you're not quite right, P2K. The Left always has a cadre that will resort to violence. They may not intend to give the last full measure in that they intend for US to die, not them.

#7 Please, please, please make it true. That would be Hope and Change to get behind (Turley is one of the ONE's supporters--a left leaning donk.)

#8 Suggest Congress stays in full session with the following changes implementing technology that would make Congress far more effective.

1) Meet only 30 days a year, around the time of the State of the Union speech. 2) Representatives will have their offices in the state capitals and will assemble and vote via teleconference. 3)Mandatory meetings with constituents via local town halls on a mandatory schedule. (Makes it harder over paid lobbyists for special interest to influence Congress and people in Alaska can actually see their rep locally rather than he/she being thousands of miles away). 4) The beltway establishment is eliminated.

#9 I didn't know they had buzzsaw shaped pillows. Where can I order some? I can't find it on amazon.

#10 I have no doubt they can find cannon fodder, but the cadre are truly few in number who direct from the rear, not lead from the front lines. Once you burn off the expendables, their elan diminishes. The recent narcissist on the Left Coast is a model. Damage a lot of people, but in the end when 'they' are coming for you, self-destruct. Wo ist Steiner?

#11 He'll just mint some magic trillion dollar coins

Much like magic beans. Except the beans worked.
