31. Compromise is the give and take in the legislative process not taking hostages until

you extort something.

Nothing is the most generous deal that can safely be offered because anything else is payoff for these tactics. "Compromise" under such circumstances is irresponsible no matter what hostage is threatened.

These bullies should have been fought to the bitter end from the jump because you can deal with delusional radical regressives.

"Adults in the room" my ass. Real adults don't allow the children to kill the dog, put grandma in the hospital, and burn down the house while they whine and try to strike bargains watching it all happen

Coddling these loons is shit stewardship, you don't risk the well being of the people on windmill tilting at partnership with the remenants of the Birch Society and the mob of Branch Leviticans for show and/or some silly ass Barney the Dinosaur purple ideology.
