DEMS ARE “FIXING TO GET PRETTY UPSET” ABOUT TRUMP
The beautiful thing about our democratic system of government is checks and balances. The executive, legislative, and judicial branches check and balance each other for a balanced stew of delicious democracy.
Um, um, stew!
But many in the Democratic Party think President Trump and the GOP are abusing their power.
“President Trump and Mitch McConnell are not playing very fair,” Nancy Pelosi told The Lint Screen. “When President Obama wanted to nominate Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court, Mitch wouldn’t let him. That was a darn shame.”
“And President Trump,” Chuck Schumer continued, “why goodness gracious, he is a ball of wax, like no other. Some of the things he does are kind of, I don’t know, shady. Like having himself and other people in the government stay at Trump properties. And allowing foreign government folks and lobbyists to stay at his properties. And for Pete’s sake, he plays a lot of golf at the taxpayers’ expense on golf courses he owns. For crying out loud, hasn’t he ever heard of the emoluments clause? Doggone it, a president is not supposed to be able to profit from his businesses while he’s serving his term.”
Nancy Pelosi snapped her fingers. “Yes, and he also paid hush money from campaign funds to a woman he had extramarital relations with. I think there’s a law against that. He also used foreign agents to help him win the election. That’s not very sporting.”
“And sometimes I’m not sure Trump tells the whole truth,” Schumer interrupted. “Also, he’s just not terribly nice sometimes. I mean, come on, separating immigrant children from their parents and putting them in cages–– that doesn’t strike me as being hospitable. I don’t know, maybe that’s just me.”
Both Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer wish someone would do something about the perceived abuses of power the president and the GOP are executing.
“We’re all watching these abuses of power, many of them illegal, I think,” Pelosi said. “And frankly, we’re fixing to get pretty upset about them. My emotions are running high. I think our forefathers would want there to be a check and balance on the executive branch.”
“I saw the play Hamilton,” Schumer said. “Those forefathers were something else. A magnificent show, Hamilton. Some real toe-tappers in that one!”
“I need to see that show,” Nancy said. The two Dem leaders high-fived.
