Republicans are the party that claims âgovernment doesnât work.â Once in power, they prove it.
The trump SNL skit highlighted the trump base perfectly. Take away everything⌠they still support the man. Hopefully, the voters will hold their representatives more accountable.
Wish I were home this week in Wisconsin to witness Ron Johnsonâs town halls. I havenât seen a schedule yet.
Its a much bigger problem than this, because its been a series of excuses since 2009.
âWe canât do anything, because we are the minority in the Houseâ
Win majority in House
âWe canât do anything because we are the minority in the Senateâ
Win majority in the Senate
âWe canât do anything because we donât have the White Houseâ
Win the White House
âWe canât do anything becauseâŚits complicatedâ
???
Love the photo!
Theyâll hole themselves up in their offices and cry themselves to sleep, which they were representing captains of industry and the upper crust instead of a bunch of backward nobodies.
Repubs: âAâ for Bluster, âFâ for Governing!
I hope all three million people whose vote didnât count because the fix was in, show up at their town halls.
Voter registration might be a good idea right now, of a desperate sort.
Overwhelming democracy is our only peaceful tool to fix the mess Trump personifies.
The perpetual protests are an excellent message to send, and it is historic, but we wonât repair the damage it has exposed if we donât get some of the 100 MILLION non-voters to participate in 2018 and 2020.
Any other course is futile.
âBehind the scenes, however, Republicans admit they have no viable plan to bring moderates and conservatives together.â
Rubbish. There are no moderates in the GOP, unless you think that being slightly less wacko than the Freedom Caucus sociopaths makes you a moderate.
They all want to destroy healthcare. End of story. Loons in suits.
Also sprach Duma member Womack:
We are the governing majority, and they kind of expect us to say, âThis is what we plan to do.â
Almost, Stevie boy, but not quite. Let me edit that for you:
We are the governing majority, and they kind of expect us to say, âThis is what we plan to do.â work in the best interests of our country and our districts.
Editorial commentary:
- The GOP holds a majority in the House and Senate and has a President who self-identifies as a Republican. While you hold the levers of power because you have majorities, you do not hold a governing majority. In order to have that you must be capable of governing. That is, you need to be something besides a nihilist.
- There is no kind of about the matter. This is the job we elected you to do. The real shame is that so many of our fellow citizens are incapable of seeing that you are an alumnus of the Clown College.
- Weâd like for you tell us what it is you intend to do when weâre in the interview (i.e., campaign) process. Once youâre in office, the job is to represent us and to uphold and defend the Constitution. Sadly, youâve confused the Constitution with the Republican Partyâs Freedumb Cock-up.
If a Party is divided will it fall to the right, center right, or implode?
Wisconsin reelected this potted plant, and also failed to recall Walker.
The state deserves all the hell it craves.
the fight isnât
They are very excited about Congressman Brownianâs motionâŚ
Itâs early. Itâs Monday. Iâve not have my tea yet. So youâll forgive me if I ask what the bloody hell does Protect Bears Ears mean?
Now they can say to anyone disappointed, âweâre still working on itâ. Theyâre trying to resurrect the rotting carcass of their bill, as if its still a work in progress. Everyone knows thatâs bullshit. It will never pass a second, third, or however many times they try.
They lost credibility when they spent 6 years demonizing it, and then turning around and advocating for all the goodies the ACA covered to the public, while trying to kill those same benefits in the ACA in private. Their biggest problem is they could care less about affordability to the average American, but especially for the poor. When they say theyâll provide access, its nothing more than bait and switch. It is a LIE. Without being affordable, access is a pipe dream.
If they could figure out how to go back in time and give the insurance companies what they had before the ACA was implemented, they would. But they canât now. The disruption to the insurance markets and the economy would be too greatâŚand would provide even less than what was offered before the ACA became law.
Instead, what theyâll do is kill the ACA one major cut at a time, or one regulation at a time, and find ways to destroy the way it currently functions at the agency level at HHS that oversees the lawâŚand then blame the ACAâs failure on the Democrats. Everyone knows thatâs their planâŚso theyâll never escape blame. The last thing they want to do is help Dems fix the law where it needs tweeking. Cooperation in Congress is dead, and its the Republicans that intentionally went out of their way to kill it.
Iâd be interested in an article about how the national and state Democratic organizations are responding to this. Are they doing anything?
