5. Do these people never stop whining?

All of this, along with der drumpfenfuhrer's tweeting, reminds me of what a dog trainer told me ages ago.

Basically, when you have a dog that is misbehaving, the key is to distract and redirect. That's what the republicans have been doing for damn near 20 years. Distracting and Redirecting. And they have stayed on message. Whatever the issue, whatever the complaint, whatever the whatever - Distract the American public on republican failures and redirect to blaming Democrats. And, you know what? It's worked.

And we suck at it. Every single Democratic legislator, every single Democratic pundit - they have to turn it back on the republicans. They are the majority in the Congress, and they have the presidency (pardon me while I gag on this), and they still can't get anything done.
