It's a witch hunt after witch hunt after witch hunt. And in the end, the people doing the witch hunt have been losing and they been losing by a lot. And it's not any time for witch hunt, it's time to get this enemy defeated.
There's quite a bit wrong with this, but let's not miss the forest for the trees: the president wants to spend $2.2 trillion, and he'd prefer it if Congress didn't ask a lot of questions. Indeed, Trump's comments yesterday reinforce the impression that he sees oversight as an inherently annoying burden he shouldn't have to deal with.
Meanwhile, around the time that the president was condemning"endless partisan investigations" and political"witch hunts" that detract from the pandemic response,,"A key Senate committee is vowing to press forward with its investigation targeting former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter, despite logistical challenges posed by the global coronavirus pandemic."

MaddowBlog It's quite obvious that Trump is licking his chops for a whole bunch of the tax payers money. It's pay day for Trump and his corrupt family he thinks. It's only right for Congress to know where the money is going. We as a people can no longer tolerate the thievery from Trump.
MaddowBlog ANY OTHER PRESIDENT especially democrat- would have been prosecuted convicted and face life in prison-if GOP didn't get a death penalty

MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog He really has a very limited vocabulary.
MaddowBlog My income taken from me by this administration's late response to the virus. Three weeks ago we were told by Minuchn that help would arrive in two weeks (every answer is 'two weeks' with these con men). My bank account is now empty; still no loans, unemployment benefits or 1/2
MaddowBlog Trump has a list of buzzwords that drive the MAGAts into a frenzy: Witch hunt Democrat hoax Nasty *whomever* Fake news Enemy of the people Sleepy Joe Biden Horrible *this* Disgraceful *that* Big, beautiful wall The list is almost endless but, alas, this is a tweet not a thread

MaddowBlog Law mandated oversight is of course seen by a corrupt president as a 'witch hunt'. What are you trying to hide, realDonaldTrump ? Congress must protect the American people and the US Treasury from this domestic criminal.
MaddowBlog The blipping idiot think that he can give to his friends and supporters money as he wish without accountability 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🌵 Pinocchio one way or another you will end up where you belong . In jail , in hell and trashed in the history books. You will live in infamy for ever👹🤮

MaddowBlog That's because he's a con artist.
MaddowBlog Congress built into the legislation multiple oversight entities and requirements for transparency meant to protect against favoritism, fraud and fiduciary recklessness. Why does SpeakerPelosi need to waste more of taxpayer money?

MaddowBlog And in this particular situation he’s right.

MaddowBlog We must return sanity to the Presidency. Donald Trump does not have a clue how to run our government. Countless mistakes during our national crisis have cost Trilions of Dollars and more importantly thousands of lives. He claims no responsibility whatsoever. He must go NOW.
MaddowBlog Perhaps because this time the blood, deaths of so many American people are on his hands. How does that compare to a phone call?

MaddowBlog Says the witch
MaddowBlog That's fine- watching you for the past 4 years? I equate both of you with rose bush ferterlizer
MaddowBlog Yes, here we go again; more reasons to despise these people with their personal, political agendas. Instead of promoting healing in a time of crisis, the democrat leaders continue with their movement toward another period of battle, which will result, again, in a failed goal.

MaddowBlog 🏧. Nouveau Riche
MaddowBlog Well? Is it?
