GOP Got Choices (Yup)
After months of Donald Trump proving he is who we thought he was beyond a reasonable doubt, many people are expecting the Republicans in Congress to do something about it.
Is it likely? I’ve answered in the style of E-40’s “Choices”, a song with a simple structure for a very simple question, because these people have shown pretty clearly what kind of choices they’ll make.
Gonna stand up to Trump? (nope)
Gonna keep acting like a chump? (yup)
Provide a check to his power? (nope)
