Anything else is wasted energy these people likely enjoy.

All of our energy and attention should be on removing the people from office who aren't doing their job of oversight and positive legislation for the American people.

"Ambition must be made to counteract ambition." James Madison, Federalist 51 (1788)

"Enlightened statesmen will not always be at the helm." James Madison, Federalist 10 (1787)

Shouldn't all our energy be put in removing him from office? What are those specific steps? I'd bet he and his enablers enjoy us marching and talking (maybe not talking).

Bad leadership by selfish people is the root of all dysfunction. Money is a tool bad leaders enable.

Isn't all of this a result of Congress not doing their oversight job? Shouldn't all messaging include this? Shouldn't it be unrelenting? The insanity of these people who are allowing this single smear of human to rule like a king—until the next election, Congress is responsible.
