Recent Grassley town hall...

Musk has them terrorized as he promised to primary anyone who doesn't toe the line.
Deport the bastard.

Has Chuck officially announced that he's not going to run for reelection? His current term ends on January 3, 2029, so he'd be 96 freaking years old.

Anyone in congress not running for reelection has a lot of power. They can "do the right thing" and push back on Trump/Musk without fear of a primary. Patiently waiting for this group to grow a spine, hopefully sooner than later.

The Republicans grow a spine? Don't hold your breath.
 
So you think the meeting in Dysart had no one from Dysart there? Ok. He's a senator from the state of iowa. People from the state of Iowa can and will attend.
Exactly. Grassley is famous for scheduling these in private locations so he can control who can and cannot attend. If an Iowa citizen has the opportunity to actually attend one of these in a public location, regardless of the county or the county they are from, they are probably going to take advantage of that.
 
So what if somebody came in from Cedar Rapids? So what if somebody came in from Decorah? So what if somebody came in from Sioux City? He's a senator of the state of iowa. I don't think anybody set that meeting up solely for citizens of Dysart Iowa to go there. Glad your buddy can tell you that there were people from Dysart and other citizens from the state of Iowa there. I don't see anybody disputing that. That's what it was for. Looks like you're trying to gin up a complaint about it. Good for Grassley to have the balls to have a meeting, and allow the citizens of the state to come and voice their concern. Lots of other Republicans are not allowing their citizens to be heard.
I think Grassely is a Dbag that is the biggest lobbyist for our shitty environment in Iowa due to being on his knees for the farmers and big ag. He loves getting subsidies for the welfare kings in Iowa.

I was just reporting the facts Sabs
 
Per my sources about 10 people and the rest from out of county
I think you're intentionally putting your head in the sand again.

Grassley is terrified right now to hold meetings in counties like Linn and Blackhawk for the obvious reasons.
So he goes where he thinks he has a "safe haven".
Just so happens Dysart, and tomorrow Hampton, aren't insulated anymore.
You can bet your dumb ass that the "screening" at the door tomorrow will be a bit more selective.

When voters of Mississippi North start to get upset, you know things are going south for the GOP.

Good. Shame on him. If he had any sense of honor he would have retired a long time ago.
Grassley has become a self serving prick. He loves being in front of a camera as a committee head.
He's likely not catching Robert Byrd, who was in Congress for 51 years. And probably not Inouye, from Hawaii, that served 49 years. Chuck is sitting at 44+ right now. He's already stated he'll retire as long as Mississippi North has a Republican Governor.
If Rob Sand enters the Governor race, Grassley might leave before he croaks.
 
What I don't understand about Congress is I can't believe they, as a branch of government, would collectively sit there and cede power to the Executive branch.

Figured by now they'd be pushing back and trying to take some power back.

Actually, Congress is the real problem, and has been for decades, they've ceded power and are ineffective. They've given the power to the Executive branch and let that branch rule by executive orders. The Judicial branch has been the guard rail keeping the President in check, for a long time.

Congress needs to get back to doing their job.
Because they don't want to hurt chances of re-election.

If a U.S. Senator was coming to a county within reasonable driving distance and it's a RARE opportunity to voice my opinions, sure.

Why are you making it a big deal. If it's because you're accusing travelling hecklers, you should provide facts ahead of accusations.
 
Held in Dysart Iowa and apparently things didn't go smoothly.

Plenty of pushback from anti Trump attendees.
My personal favorite from Senile Chuck..."Musk doesn't have any power".
Immediately followed by a sizeable portion of the crowd laughing loudly!

Somebody on Chuck's staff got their ass chewed for not doing a better job screening the crowd at the door.
Maybe he could invite them all out to Dairy Queen for a little u know what

I’m not making a big deal about it haha. I could care less about this whole ordeal. I was just providing what I was told and answer question from posters jumping to conclusions of one post after another. A common theme around here

My dynamite revelation? I literally copy and pasted a text from a buddy then answered questions on said text.

Some of you are wild individuals. Just some weird guys posting here!!

Grab a mirror dickhead. You thought your "10 people from Dysart" was some crazy information that proved that Liberals showed up to interfere with the town hall. "A bunch of Blackhawk and Linn county plates" Sorry it blew up in your face. "Same people who follow him around" is just "answering questions about the text" now. JFC.

Why would your buddy text you about a Grassley town hall? Did you ask him about it?
 
From my buddy from Dysart:
“Lmao a bunch of boomers listening to an old decrepit talk. What a spin zone. I heard there were like maybe 10 people actually from Dysart there and that the majority of people are basically following him around on this tour

Drove down main st yesterday and it was a bunch of linn and black hawk county vehicles. Old Dems that just live to chase him around”
Is your buddy's name Jim? Does he lament that Dysart isn't even Dysart anymore?
 
10 people from out of county. Why are you getting your bowels in an uproar over this?
Read that again, now I understand all these questions. Many posters reading comprehensions are not as good as I thought.
 
I’m just reporting the facts compared to Iowas MSM!!

But I think the point of his comment is that it may be artificial anger with the same people just following Chuck screaming.
Bruno carrying MAGA water again. Chuck represents all of Iowa. So all of Iowa reserves the right to complain about the shitty job he's doing.

Well if it is the same humans following him on his 99 county tour then it’s is kind of artificial if it’s no one from Dysart.
Pretty sad if no one from the surrounding communities of Dysart wants to go to his townhalls as well.

I have posted this before. Several years ago Grassley came to my workplace. We were told the day before in no uncertain terms that we would not be allowed to take videos or record Grassley's comments. We were told no pictures unless approved after the event while standing with Grassley. We were lectured by the three most important people at the company about what a friend to our industry Grassley is, and how he'd helped out recently on some legislation to strike down a competitor. We were told to be respectful. We were again reminded how good of a friend he was to our company. We were told no friends would be allowed in. We were specifically told to not alert the media as they would be turned away because our office is private property.
That's what counts for a town hall in Johnson County for Chuck Grassley. Grassley is famous for announcing his town halls after they have been held, too. Breadbags follows the same script.
 
Old boy used to be respectable.
It was many years ago….many many years ago.
He and Harkin worked well together and balanced each other well as US Senators… and as a duo, effectively and accurately represented most Iowans.
Moderate and Democrats in Iowa are no longer represented in Congress with the current congressional make-up.
 
“For those who didn’t major in Constitutional Law, : Article II, § 1, Sentence 1, … says, ‘The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.’ “
Oh, I took constitutional law when I was in college. I understand the Constitution and how things are supposed to work. It's just they haven't worked for a very long time.

There has always existed a power struggle between the 3 branches of government. The Judicial branch jumped out early and grabbed power in 1803 with Marbury v Madison and it's been on from there.

Congress is to make the laws, Courts to interpret the laws, and President to enforce the laws. Today we have the President making the laws through EO, Courts keeping those EOs in check, and Congress silently murmuring about controlling the checkbook, which with DOGE we're finding out that Congress doesn't even have the Power of the Purse anymore as Elon and Trump are ignoring Congressional appropriations.

I just wonder if at some point is Congress going to try to assert themselves as an equal branch of government or if they'll just continue being a little biatch.

And no, this is not just Trump centric, Congress has been a little biatch for a long time now. The last few weeks have really highlighted how weak they are. If Trump takes the checkbook from them too, them what exactly is the purpose of Congress?

Do you have the same concerns about unelected bureaucrats enacting regulations and then enforcing those regulations by administrative law “judges”? Trump is just administrating the bureaucrats and enforcing the law which is his job.

Same exact story in Marshall county several years ago where I worked then.
