Booker accuses Democrats of being "complicit" in Trump's agenda in heated exchange with Senate colleagues
Sen. Cory Booker's tense exchange with two fellow Democrats marked a rare moment of intraparty disagreement that played out on the Senate floor.www.cbsnews.com
…"We are standing at a moment where our president is eviscerating the Constitution of the United States of America, and we're willing to go along with that today," he said. "No, no. Not on my watch. I stand against this. It is a violation of our Constitution for the president of the United States to ignore the will of Congress and decide which states are eligible for grants and which are not."
Booker accused Cortez Masto and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat who backs the legislative package, of lecturing him.
"What I am tired of is when the president of the United States violates the Constitution, trashes our norms and traditions and what does the Democratic Party do? Comply? Allow him? Beg for scraps? No. I demand justice," he said.

Booker said the Democratic Party "needs a wake-up call."
"It's time for Democrats to have a backbone. It's time for us to fight. It's time for us to draw lines," he said, as his voice started rising. "Don't question my integrity. Don't question my motives."…

California and New York should respond in kind. So should New Jersey but we know how Jersey gets down.
Every time I think that maybe things won't get bad enough to actually hit these cultists in a way that will make them regret their actions, the gang finds a way to dig a deeper hole.
I'm really not rooting for the wholesale destruction of the company, but these dudes are really committed to putting the most unqualified people in the most important positions.
This is a terrible time to be a democrat politician. Democrat voters fall for anything and blame it on the politicians. If democrats take the high road; voters say they too soft. If they take the gloves off and start swinging, they get criticized for it.
I bought this same size over the weekend I paid $18.99
$7 more to go past state lines?!? So glad I got those nespresso pods from the Salvage grocery store last month.
Doubt it will hurt him at all
Hey, you remember what joe biden told a group of donors after he was elected? Nothing will fundamentally change. Keep blaming the voters and these shitty as politicians keep getting a free pass.
