Congress needs to step up and do its job

“I won’t touch the VA or Social Security.” Do you remember that quote from Donald Trump during his campaign? Liar, liar, pants on fire!

Trump, J.D. Vance, Elon Musk, Marco Rubio, Robert Kennedy Jr. and Pete Hegseth, etc. are a bunch of liars and are destroying the United States of America. Forget about grabbing Greenland and Canada. Mr. Trump, you have more pressing issues here at home. All of you are complicit in trying to destroy the U.S. Constitution, and Bill of Rights. Congress is a bunch of cowards with their heads so far up this administration's rear that they all have brown noses and will not to anything to save our country from its destruction from within, while Trump plays his fiddle and our country burns.

Appointing a jerk as the head of CDC, he has no medical training, is not a doctor and just repeats whatever Trump wants him to say. Four-letter words, Musk and DOGE, along with their alleged OPM are terminating/firing personnel wantonly. These people are 19 and early 20-year-olds who have no personnel management experience or knowledge; they’re IT personnel. Any person terminated for cause/ poor performance review by this group, and that isn’t the case based on their previous performance reviews, should immediately file lawsuits for illegal termination. 

Stop the madness. Congress, step up and do your jobs and stop this insanity that is destroying America. Don’t forget about the $48 million-plus the fiddler has cost us while he plays golf. (P.S., how is that bone spur doing?)
