In the wake of dozens of executive orders from President Biden, the Unitary Executive Theory party is begging for a little unity. How very dare the new president exercise the power they themselves enshrined as gospel over the past four decades!
30 executive orders and actions signed in only 3 days time.
@POTUS, you can t govern with a pen and a phone.
We are old enough to remember when the president governed by using a Sharpie and Twitterphone to declare an emergency so he could seize congressionally allocated military funds to build a border wall a massive usurpation of Congress’s spending power that provoked nary a whisper on the right. Because we are exactly

Even since Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (WY) decided to vote alongside Democrats to impeach President Donald Trump, the caucus has been divided on the issue. There are even more questions, predominantly legal ones, about whether or not a former president can be impeached.
Despite the legal concerns and questions, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said he support s Cheney in her decision but he also has concerns about how she ignored normal leadership processes to go about it. Look, I support her, but I also have concerns, he told Gray TV s Greta Van Susteren, according to a transcript of an interview that will air Sunday. She took a position as a number three member in conference, she never told me ahead of time. One thing about leadership, if we re going to work together, we should understand. We know that this is going to become a difficulty. She can have a difference of opinion, but the one thing if we re goi
US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said that proceeding with a Senate impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump would not hurt President Joe Biden’s calls for “unity”.
“The fact is, the president of the United States committed an act of incitement of insurrection,” Pelosi told reporters on Capitol Hill on Thursday, a day after Biden was sworn in to replace Trump.
“I don’t think it’s very unifying to say, ‘Oh, let’s just forget it and move on’. That’s not how you unify,” Pelosi said, adding she was not willing to give Trump a “get out of jail free” card just because he has left office.

Trump brought all this upon himself
I am amused (dumbfounded?) by the Letters to the Editor saying Trump has been a victim of baseless media attacks.
The latest said he has suffered “death by a thousand cuts.” If there were a train wreck each day and the media reported it, would that mean the media had something against railroads?
Ex-employees and family confirm that he is a dangerous, narcissistic sociopath. Trump has almost daily done irreparable damage to various departments of our government, institutions of our country and traditions of our nation, ushering in the death of truth and culminating in conspiracy theorists storming our Capitol.
