Elected republicans- President Trump campaigned on and was elected by a clear mandate to do what he promised to do- be more like Khanna. Get off your ass and start introducing legislation to formalize these EO's. Now.
Totally agree. I have said since the beginning- I want votes, I want the process, for all the reasons you so eloquently elucidated.Trying to have their cake and eat it too. As Ro pointed out, vote with the people or the lobbyists, choose one. Congress is waiting to see how the people will react to Trump's EOs and policies before they commit to anything. They don't want to commit now and run the risk of approval numbers tanking. WE can quote all of the numbers we want and it doesn't matter to Congress. They would sell their moms into slavery if it meant they are re-elected.
They'll give up some sound bites and sort of sit on the fence, but go on the official record with a vote? You can walk back a sound bite, you can't walk back a vote in the House or Senate.

Of course they're divided. Some of them hate Americans generally, while others just hate Trump and resist everything he does.I read this after my post.
Dems divided on Trump's executive order aimed at slashing drug prices
Hey, I was right on a prediction! Now, about Michelle's package...

Guys, guys, that's mIsInFoRmAtIoN! It's not like you can't retire- they just can't process you, and you can't get orders or a 214, and you can't PCS/retirement move, and you can't leave your unit, and you are still on the books, so they can't PCS anyone in, so they're just telling you that you can't hit the button and get approved for retirement and then retire.Ah yes, stop loss.

(this is no-shit the response from senior leaders we have been talking to).
Well that’ll happen when you post a very thinly veiled threat against a guy they tried to kill twice and shot in the head once.
Bury him.
