inquisitr--2020-12-07--Justin Amash Says Members Of Congress Have ‘No Idea’ Who Is Writing Legislation

Outgoing Michigan Rep. Justin Amash claimed on Sunday evening that members of Congress are not aware of who is writing the legislation that they vote on .
“ Legislation used to be crafted by legislators , not ‘ negotiators , ' ” he tweeted .
“ The public needs to know that members of Congress have no idea who the hell is writing our legislation .
It ’ s certainly not us.
” The House lawmaker ’ s comment was a response to Politico reporter Jake Sherman , who reported that Congress is planning to pass a spending bill intended @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Sherman , this course of action will give negotiators additional time to determine long-term government spending plans .
Amash previously criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her predecessor , Paul Ryan , for shutting down the legislative process .
The lawmaker said the pair have complete control over bills and don ’ t allow other congresspeople to bring legislation to the floor or even amend laws without their approval .
In another Sunday tweet , Amash claimed that Congress could improve the process by ensuring that the role of the Speaker is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and legislation is provided in the proper format with enough time to read .
Even earlier , Amash said that the lack of amendments and “ genuine debate ” around legislation drives many congresspeople to avoid reading bills altogether .
During a recent appearance on Democrat Andrew Yang ’ s podcast , Amash claimed that the lack of pushback against the purportedly stifled process is because there is no desire to disrupt the status quo .
“ The sad truth is that the majority of them prefer this system , ” he said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it ’ s actually a pretty easy life for them , ” he said moments later .
According to Amash , many of his colleagues “ bend the knee ” to leadership and “ go along with ” the performance of their respective party .
“ As long as they play along and do the performance , they are taken care of , they ’ re babied , ” he said .
Earlier this month , Amash suggested that Democrats replace Pelosi as head of the lower chamber .
He also urged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Leader Mitch McConnell .
According to Amash , Pelosi ’ s hesitancy to impeach Trump was due to her focus on maintaining power .
He also suggested that McConnell is a terrible institutional leader who is not focused on fairness and compromise — two traits the congressman argued are crucial for the position .

McEnany insisted that Trump’s allegations won’t depress turnout and called on conservative-leaning voters to show up in record numbers in order to “overwhelm the system” and counter irregularities.
McEnany then took aim at Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, suggesting that he is refusing to intervene and delegating responsibility to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
The White House press secretary then argued that Kemp’s refusal to take action could cost the GOP control of the Senate. By doing so, she apparently admitted that Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will take office on January 20.
“False, Gov. Kemp. You have the power to call in a special legislative session because right now, if we lose these two Senate seats, guess who’s casting the deciding vote in this country for our government? It will be Kamala Harris.”

The publication claimed that the businessman received the gift from Ye, whom he supposedly met amid his divorce. Hunter Biden allegedly told the outlet that Ye was attempting to network with prominent Democrats and Republicans in Washington.
“Hunter told me that two associates accompanied him to his first meeting with Ye, in Miami, and that they surprised him by giving Ye a magnum of rare vintage Scotch worth thousands of dollars,” Entous wrote.
According to Prokupecz, the tax investigation into Biden began in 2018 and was put on hold around the time of the election due to a Department of Justice policy. Now that the election is over, the probe is reportedly pushing ahead and focused particularly on “business dealings in China.”
As noted by Breitbart, The New York Post wrote in October that emails purportedly from Biden’s laptop suggested that the businessman was involved with a joint venture with CEFC. The partnership would have allegedly created a new company that might have given President-elect Joe Biden an ownership stake.
Tony Bobulinski, one of the younger Biden’s former business partners, told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that he was concerned about his partner acting as Ye’s personal attorney.
The news comes not long after Di Dongsheng, a professor at Renmin University in Beijing, China, claimed that Joe Biden’s victory is favorable to the country. According to Di, the East Asian nation has operatives within high levels of the American government.
As The Inquisitr reported, the Sinclair Broadcasting Group previously claimed that the FBI has an investigation open into Hunter Biden and his associates due to suspicion of money laundering. Critics of the reporting suggested some of the allegations are disinformation and pointed to the group’s previous ad that showed progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on fire.

As Donald Trump’s presidency comes to an end while he faces possible criminal charges after leaving office, some have speculated that he will resign and seek a pardon from Mike Pence, who would temporarily take his position in the White House. According to commentator Bill Palmer, Pence would destroy his political career by going along with this plan.
“It’s possible Trump will resign for a Pence pardon. But if Pence does it, he’ll be finished in politics. No guarantee he’s willing to play that game. And it won’t affect whatever New York State is doing,” he tweeted early Thursday morning.
Pence has reportedly had presidential ambitions for some time. Per NBC News, Barry Bennett, a Republican strategist who worked for Trump’s 2016 campaign, claimed that the end of the U.S. leader’s term means the vice president will begin to position himself for such a role.
“What happened in the House tells us that the president’s policies were quite popular. His personality, obviously, was not helpful with some voters But if Pence can run on the policies and not have the baggage of the image problem, he’ll do quite well.”
NBC News noted that Trump himself is considering a 2024 presidential run, which could complicate the aspirations of Pence and other GOP presidential hopefuls. Nevertheless, Bennett suggested that the outgoing head of state will not likely run again and expressed hope that Pence would make a play for the White House.
As reported by The Hill, New York Attorney General Letitia James predicted on The View on Tuesday that Trump would resign and seek a pardon from Pence. As the publication noted, this hypothetical scenario was outlined in a 1974 Department of Justice memo. According to the memo, Trump could not offer himself a pardon — although debate around this subject continues amid a lack of precedent.
Columnist Brent Budowsky previously argued that a pardon would help minimize Trump’s legal problems and make it easier for him to deal with state investigations, which clemency would not protect him from. Per NPR, James is currently conducting a civil investigation into Trump’s businesses, which the publication noted could become a criminal probe depending on what evidence is unearthed.

Cenk Uygur Calls GOP Politicians ‘Fascists,’ Says ‘Republican Voters Are Literally Detached From Reality’

In a series of tweets posted on Thursday , founder and CEO of The Young Turks , Cenk Uygur , slammed President Donald Trump and Republican Party politicians .

In a third Twitter post , Uygur said that conservative voters are “ detached from reality ” because they believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ despite the fact that his lawyers have already lost dozens of lawsuits in battleground states across the nation .
And while those who vote for the GOP may be ignorant , Uygur suggested , GOP politicians are not .
Yet they have embraced and supported Trump ’ s baseless claims about the 2020 election , which makes them “ fascists , ” Uygur argued .

And while those who vote for the GOP may be ignorant, Uygur suggested, GOP politicians are not. Yet they have embraced and supported Trump’s baseless claims about the 2020 election, which makes them “fascists,” Uygur argued.
“Republican voters are literally detached from reality & genuinely believe losing 56 court cases in a row means you have all of the evidence. But Republican politicians all know! It is objectively accurate to call them fascists now. They’re actively trying to tear down democracy.”
A recent Rasmussen Reports poll, as The Inquisitr reported, found that nearly half of Americans believe that Democrats stole the presidential election. In the same survey, 61 percent of Republicans said that it is “very likely” the contest was stolen from Trump.
