Democrats hold a very slim majority in Congress. We are not as well represented in state houses

[Stinky The Clown]

And yet, barely four weeks into our slim majority, we are doing what we always do.

We are showing the early signs of eating our own.

Stop it.

When Republicans are in power, they clean our clock.

When Republicans are out of power, they clean our clock.

Whenever you start to see a scandal brewing, consider the facts. Not the allegations. Not the innuendo. Not the rumor. Not the Hannity spin. Not the leaked blockbuster story on Newsmax, or even CBS or NBC. Most of all, consider the source.

We get played EVERY TIME WE HOLD POWER. and we always seem to let it happen and even pour a bit of gasoline on a hint of a spark.

Stop it.

1. What's the scandal?

I haven’t heard a thing. It’s mostly Cruz, Cruz, and more Cruz.

2. Might be talking about the Cuomo nursing home thing

In which case I agree - let’s not cast judgment until a full investigation. It is always Repukes that get off too easy. Trump covered a lot more up on a grander scale!

5. You just took the bait. nt

9. What "bait" and for what purpose do you think "bait" was set out?

If YOU have something to say, say it. My question is not rhetorical. You said something. Please expand on it.

13. Wasn't talking about you or your post

7. Thank you.

I wish Originators of threads would spell out what they want to say especially to people like me who can be thick and can’t figure things out.

8. If you wish to speak to the "Originator" of this thread, he is right here.

3. I agree completely. For the love of gods, what is wrong with us?!

6. Maybe hit the point on OPs where it happens, Stinky, rather than

make a whole new negative thread doing what you say we shouldn't. We're seeing too many of these "stop eating shit" posts, as if eating shit is something we all do.

We are good people doing good things.

Democratic lawmakers hope to enact statewide nondiscrimination law and ban conversion therapy for LGBTQ Texans As the Biden administration works to expand federal nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people, Texas advocates and lawmakers are pushing for similar legislation here.

11. I'm a jaded political observer now

The GOP motto: "Fuck Democrats"

Republicans incite riots
GOP: "I see nothing. Fuck Democrats"

Recession on GOP watch
GOP: "I see nothing. Fuck Democrats"

Recording comes out of a Republican president attempting to steal an election
GOP: "I see nothing. Fuck Democrats"

Cuomo withholds COVID data
GOP: "Cuomo should resign"
Democrat: "Shame on Cuomo"
Me, a jaded political observer: "So..."

12. This is the sole reason I've checked out of politics.

It's just, what's the point anymore. The instigators have won. The purists have won. The moderate Democratic centrists will continue to hold the country together. Things will get better. Rural society is failing. They will fight it out as they fall and their populations decline. Rural flight will change the demographics. We'll start winning. It's a decadal/generational thing tho.
