I am so angry and disappointed by the Congress, especially the Senate, for their impotency.

They all decided to leave town yesterday and go home.

They have known from day one what they are dealing with and they did nothing. They went to their partisan corners and assumed their defensive positions.

None is more impotent than Mitch McConnell. History will record that he is a traitor even worse than Benedict Arnold. He has been complicit with Trump every step of the way.

And all the Republicans are guilty for their silence and complicity.

I can never forgive what they are about to do to this country and what they have already done.

It is sad.

There's only one party vandalizing and sabotaging the government.

At some point, it is about all of us, not one side or the other, in my opinion. When the Senate fails, we all fail. Not just Republicans.

McConnell is not ineffective, he is unfortunately very effective.
