@PreetBharara How has the dynamic between “Trump or Trump-friendly” lawyers and non “Trump” lawyers changed, particularly those who were previously friends or collegial. #askpreet
@SenSchumer@nytimes YOU ARE LEGITIMIZING THEIR DESTRUCTION! pain is unavoidable unfortunately-they won’t negotiate so don’t help them burn it down. Stand now … there is no later n
@atrupar@SenSchumer the greatest disaster is a shutdown? They are dismantling government all around you. You have NO POWER. THEY WONT NEGOTIATE. This is their government to run do not help them run it into the ground!!
@atrupar@SenSchumer you are giving away the country. If you can’t be an opposition leader than get out of the way. These are not genteel times. Have a spine or lose dem power for years!
If the answer is yes than torch the system — remove dedicated people (remember these are people not theoretical “thems”) whose purpose is to make the lives of Americans better & safer. If the answer is no let’s get serious about finding solutions and not creating new problems.
5. Is our food supply and manufacturing systems so well designed to protect us from contamination and food poisoning that we can cut down on the number of food inspectors?
6. Is our health, the understanding of diseases so strong and the availability of medicines to treat all diseases so prolific (and cheap) that we don’t need more research flexibility to negotiate drug price?
4. Is the world so safe from terrorism, drug cartels and organized crime that we could use fewer FBI/CIA agents?
Are the skies and railways so safe we need fewer air traffic controllers and safety inspectors?
3. The question is do you want to torch the system or improve this system? Ask yourself this:
Is the government taking in so much tax revenue that we don’t need so many IRS agents?
2. We’re seeing virtually every function in the government being gutted.
This administration will tell you because it’s too bloated or got too many unnecessary or incompetent people. I don’t think you’ll get anyone who disagrees that the government needs improvements.
@SymoneDSanders@mehdirhasan Amen! Biden’s mistake is not being straight - I love my son. I take Donald Trump at his word that he will seek vengeance. My family has already endured too much. I signed up for that but my family should not be punished for what I was willing to take on.
