Seth Connell asks: What’s the next offensive from the #Resistance? A new House resolution with hardly anything meaningful.

Democrat Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) recently introduced House Resolution 456, a bill which, according to the title, would be an official declaration “Objecting to the conduct of the President of the United States.”

The list of things in the resolution contains various petty issues that show just how off track the Democrats’ priorities are right now.

We are $20 trillion in debt, but are they trying to get that under control?

We have the Obamacare system falling apart in many states, but are they trying to get that under control?

We have a mass mutiny in the Executive Branch, but are they trying to restore order?

We have increasingly belligerent Iranian and North Korean regimes, but are they focusing their efforts on easing those?

The answer to all of the above is a largely resounding NO. They’d rather #Resist Trump at all turns, even if that means neglecting the things that really matter, the problems that will really cause damage to our country’s future generations (most notably, the debt).

So what are they griping about here?

Here are a few examples:

Whereas, on April 29, 2017, President Trump invited Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte to visit him at the White House, despite the fact that Duterte has been accused of extrajudicial killings of drug suspects;

Did they take issue with Hillary Clinton being funded by Islamic extremist bigots in the Middle East; you know the same people who execute gay people? Of course they would not dare oppose the Chosen One!

Whereas, on June 5, 2017, President Trump tweeted, “People, the lawyers and courts can call it whatever they want, but I am calling it what we need and what it is, a TRAVEL BAN!”;

Why are they making a grievance over the fact that he told the truth about what the executive order really was: a temporary travel ban against countries deemed by the Obama administration to be prone to terrorism. The idea that the order was a ‘Muslim Ban’ is simply fallacious.

And, probably the most ridiculous of them all:

Whereas President Trump has refused to release his tax returns, in a break from the practice of United States Presidents for more than 40 years;

A President is not required to release his tax returns. Many Presidents have done it, but just because several Presidents have done something doesn’t mean it needs to continue.

A portion of his tax returns were leaked by Rachel Maddow anyways, but all that was revealed is that he pays more in taxes in one year than most Leftists ever would in multiple lifetimes.

So what are the sponsors of this bill demanding? Let’s look at their own words:

Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that— (1) based on the conduct described in the preamble, the House of Representatives has no confidence that President Trump is faithfully executing the office of President of the United States; and (2) President Trump should— (A) release his tax returns; (B) place his private business assets in a blind trust or to divest from them; (C) donate to the United States Treasury, as he promised, any personal profit he has made from foreign patronage of hotels in which he has an ownership interest; (D) refrain from taking any action that results in taxpayer money being spent on goods or services from businesses in which he has an ownership interest, such as Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, and the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia; (E) seek congressional consent for any and all emoluments he has received from foreign countries; (F) refrain from using Twitter inappropriately, including refraining from posting comments that could adversely impact United States foreign policy; (G) support the First Amendment, support freedom of the press, refrain from calling reporting “fake news”, refrain from posting video of himself wrestling with a press logo, and stop limiting full electronic press access to White House press briefings; (H) promote democracy, freedom of the press, and human rights in foreign policy; (I) unequivocally acknowledge that Russia interfered in the 2016 United States Presidential election, and work to protect our electoral process from any future foreign interference; (J) refuse any offer to form any kind of cybersecurity unit with the Russian Government to purportedly protect the United States from election hacking; (K) respect the independence of our Nation’s judicial branch; (L) respect Members of Congress and refrain from using derogatory nicknames for them; and (M) conduct United States foreign policy in a manner that reflects the United States traditional role as leader of the free world.

The things listed here are simply a means of skirting the real issues. Each resolution has a tangential relevance to the truth, and to pressing issues, but they don’t hit to the heart and root of the problems.

They want Trump to release his tax returns, but do not want to stop stealing from everyday Americans through excessive taxation and inflation.

They want Trump to support the 1st Amendment, but are complicit in Left-wing extremists’ coordinated efforts to shut down any form of discourse with which they do not agree.

They want Trump to refrain from using any tax money that would go towards properties in which me maintains an interest, but refuse to address the issue of corporate welfare propping up failing big business on our dime.

Can you see the problem here? There are bigger fish to fry, and bigger giants to slay here. The Democrats’ blatant disregard for these important issues is nothing short of reckless endangerment on a societal level.
