On that you are right, Trump is dangerous to the status quo, to the globalist and the big money manipulating the democrats party and biden, Trump was to unpredictable and could be controlled, for that reason he can never, ever be allowed to be president again.

Do you really think they would cut funding to DHS or Secret Service? If something happened, the blame would fall squarely onto the shoulders of the GOP in a critical election year.

A civil war between 3 co-equal branches of govt?


Wasn't on my bingo card but I'll take it.

I have to say that sounds hilarious but, we cannot allow to have another weaponized branch of government with the IRS, this about control, manipulation and more blackmailing.

Interesting.

So when the deep state acts like a deep state, the only recourse available left to congress is to defund.


...and here you are defending the deep state...again.

DHS didn't exist until Bush.

Secret Service used to be under Treasury Dept.

Defund the DHS.

End it, get rid of it.

But what would happen to your precious ICE that was created with the Homeland Security Act?

Letting the branches have separation of powers as the Founding Fathers intended is the deep state in action?

Another useless agency of the government, it seems under the democrats we do not need ICE.

Seems like the branches of government has been overrun by the offices of government control by the political party in charge.

Is called "weaponization."

Bureaucrats aren't elected. They need a balance for all those checks they've been writing.

Separation of EQUAL branches of government and powers.

Are you confident that you know how this all works?

CBP is also part of DHS. Do you have it move back to the DOJ? If so, that would make it hard for Congress to defund the DOJ like you guys want.

Congress' check over executive agencies is through the power of the purse. They don't have the authority to order executive agencies around.

No?

Can you describe what a subpoena is for me then?

Look, you want to defend the DHS, Patriot Act, The Deep State, yadda, yadda, yadda.

I get it.

Some of us don't. You'll just have to deal with it.

Congressional subpoenas are not a power enumerated anywhere in the Constitution. Instead, the courts have ruled that its an implied power. The courts have also ruled congressional subpoenas can be challenged in the courts and if Congress can't demonstrate how the requested documents assist in their legislative duties then the subpoena is invalid.

Of course, that conversation is moot as Congress has not subpoenaed the DHS.
