I wake up and hear how The Republicans are sabotaging something the Democrats did. Today its Ted Cruz. Check out CNN. They serve no purpose other than to be obstructionist. They dont contribute to anything other than their own wealthy donors and are now the party of Trump.
I crave for the day when the orange idiot is put into an orange jumpsuit and shipped off in chains somewhere. How are we ever going to get a head when you have Mitch McConnell standing in the way?Lets face it compromise is dead. There is no bipartisanship. And I will say it again, they are assholes.

(31,137 posts)mass murder, I wish more people had listened.
But I also made the mistake of claiming there was election fraud in 2016, which may have actually not happened but if it did I cant prove it so I learned my lesson, dont make those claims without proof.
I think there are or were decent cons, McCain comes to mind, but he was also a war hawk etc. But he was WRONG on almost all issues, he was a republican.
I had to take shit HERE when I called trump a traitor before most others caught on that he was a traitor...SIGH
So yes, they WANT YOU DEAD, they want me dead. FOR REAL yes, for real!

There are no decent Republicans left, I read and understood how amazing Eisenhower was as a Republican but thats all changed. Today its a party of assholes.
Im not a Christian so I dont believe in hell however if there was one Ive come imagine seeing Limbaugh screaming in a pit of boiling lava for eternity.

As an atheist, my idea of the afterlife is the effects you have on the world, and how you are remembered. By that definition, Limbaugh is already in Hell.

(10,090 posts)If it is 50/50 they can still bring them forward for a floor vote. This has been done in other committees and stopped the republican obstruction.

(111,456 posts)yet when they get into power, they never do anything constructive, themselves.
They had 4 years to come up with a health care plan. They didn't try. They had years to come up with a plan to fix the crumbling infrastructure. They didn't try. All they did was cut taxes on billionaires and rename buildings for /Republican politicians.
This is what the Democrats need to campaign on. Republicans do NOTHING for this country and its people. They can prove it and they can make great campaigns out of it. Oh, and it's been 40 years and abortion is still legal, guess they lied about that, too.

(41,871 posts)In the. previous four ayears the Republicans ONLY GOAL was to fleece the government - someone should probably audit the treasury department and as if money was stolen.
Ohioboy
(3,249 posts)Hell, the republicans are still pissed that FDR was popular. They would love to undo all the things he did but haven't quite figured it out yet. Too many Trump supporting MAGAT's enjoy their Medicare and Social Security. A lot of MAGAT's earned the money for guns by working overtime at time and a half pay rate. There's more, but you get the picture.

(36,221 posts)Which is to have Big Corps take over the three branches. It hasn't succeeded yet, but it's grinding away at the bipartisan/filibuster myth to keep Manchin in line and moderates in doubt.
This isn't about the people we see. They're the front for the people we don't see. Dark money donors.
Warpy
(111,456 posts)There's always been dirty money in politics and most likely the only way to get it out is to take full advantage of another big financial crash, one that will keep the plutocracy too busy to micromanage the Senate.
ancianita
(36,221 posts)The ones we see are front men. But we keep being addicted to them -- the train wreck -- rather than getting around that wreck and moving down the track to get the hell away from it.
This latest Barrack indictment from the Eastern District, alongside the Trump Org in the Southern District, is the latest rule of law pincer going after the global black marketeers. This rule of law legal power (in lawyer wars of the last four years) is the pincer (similar to what Saudis and Russia's dudes used) to help the good capitalists beat the bad capitalists -- slowly mapping and stopping their polluting evil. The bad capitalists want finite energy dominance and don't GAF about the wet bulb climate debt and death down the road that they'll force on their own and the world's grandchildren, who will curse us all for not nailing them sooner.
