Is There No Way? . . .

(from https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/11/13/andrew-johnson-undermined-congress-cabinet-david-priess-book-222413)
". . . declared leading radical senator Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania just months after (Andrew) Johnson’s (who assumed office after Lincoln's assassination) inauguration, “to arrest the insane course of the president in Washington?” . . . legislators urged the president to call Congress into a special session, or at least delay controversial moves until it was scheduled to convene in December. Johnson obstinately ignored them. . . This stubbornness and refusal to cooperate with even moderate Republicans escalated once Congress came back into session in December of 1865 . . . Johnson vetoed both a civil rights bill designed to fight back the dreaded black codes and another measure to expand the functions of the Freedmen’s Bureau. . . The legislative branch, as a consequence, did something that was then unprecedented in American history on a major piece of legislation: They overturned a presidential veto. Then they did it again. Ultimately, they turned back the president’s rejections of bills a stunning 15 times—a record to this day, even though Johnson served a shorter term than most presidents. . .The president also saw his judicial appointment powers curtailed. When a Supreme Court vacancy came up, Congress eliminated the seat rather than confirm Johnson’s nominee. As a hedge against a potential future Johnson appointment, they went ahead and legislated in advance that the next high court vacancy, too, would not require filling. . ."

. . . how long are people going to pretend that this president actually CARES about them. . .
. . . how long are people going to pretend that only FOX news tells the truth and ALL OTHER media only broadcast 'fake' news . . .
. . . how long are people going to pretend than this 'man?' actually has their best interest at heart?. . .

Rest . . .

Memories of places, people and things
Flow abundantly when you least require them
And most commonly when you're trying to sleep

Embarrassing, humiliating, unpleasant
Or simply unwanted adventures await
The unwitting and uncontrollable mind during slumber

The school bus is turning the corner
When you cannot find your pants
And breakfast is still on the table

What appears to be your childhood home
Becomes the setting for an episode
Of interpersonal intrigue

An adolescent infatuation
Comes irritatingly to somnambulant life
As you work from REM to delta to rejuvenate

The experience can leave one 'unrested',
To say the least, or even bring fatigue
To your 'rested' self with the morning light

And he was always extremely highly thought of and he still is. But I didn't know Matt Whitaker.". . . In fact, Trump has met with his hand-picked appointee more than a dozen times.

Regarding . . .

. . . control . . .

. . . since he thinks he can do it, when the U.S. president abolishes the 14th amendment to the constitution, let's have him also abolish the 2nd. . .
