42,000 documents released at the 11th hour!

But yet, the Democrats are going to play along with the shenanigans? I beginning to worry about who is actually protecting us from Trump and his criminal goons?

It's a dirty play by the GOP and Trump! If the Dems go along and do nothing, you and I will not have a voice to chat on this site! Doing nothing is as bad as giving the GOP their every wish!

I don't know the rules, but the GOP's rules are moving the goal post all the time!

8. "I don't know the rules" here it is if youre not in the majority you have no power

That's it ..... That's why voting even if "the dems havent inspired you to vote" or even if "the dems havent given me something to vote for and not against" even if "you have to vote for someone just because the have a 'd' by their name"

9. Geeze- half the problem we have is so many people don't understand the basics of how this works

We really need a coordinated education campaign on how the very basics of our government works. I expect idiot conservatives to not know, but not people on our side.

Unfortunately so many people don’t, and effort gets wasted on proposals and ideas that are just fantasy- “Do something to stop it!” demands with no idea how to do what they demand or if it’s possible.

Imagine how much more productive we could be if time and effort was not wasted on demand or ideas that just can’t be done because people don’t know the very basics about how things work.

10. It's like the "Can we just nullify Trump's presidency" threads that pop up a few times a week.

How in the world was it even possible to review all those documents the night before Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing? It wasn't - and they damn well knew that!
