Well that's it, the next two years of Congress is officially broken
Democrats are pissed, republicans are pissed, and every single bill has now become a political struggle.

And lost in all of this is the people who need the government to act--those pursuing equality and those in dire need--are being used as pawns in political posturing.

These next two years in Congress is going to be cataclysmic.

1. I'm afraid you're right. Failure all around.

2. How about some cynicism?
Wait for puke bills to come up, puke messaging to get into high gear, and Democratic caving to their demands. Plan for the worst and everything will be either predictable or a pleasant surprise.

3. Election results confirmed this.
The party of NO was empowered and they will not do one constructive thing. Nada. Very sad!

7. IMO it's so bad even failure does not adequately describe it ... I would go
beyond congress and just call it a cataclysmic government in crisis.
