But itâs the Democrats who wonât work with Republicans.

when there was all of this âexcitementâ last week about the big Senate compromise bill, it was easily predictable that it was going no where based on House statements, or somehow tricking the Moron into signing it against his will
stage is being set for medicare for all
You are an optimist.
Iâd give anything to share that world view.
Once again, the Republican Party demonstrates that it can offer nothing positive for the American People. The Republican Party is the equivalent of the Party of Perpetual Failure.
It wonât be DOA if Ryan would let non-crazy Republicans and Democrats vote on it.
I wonder if the GOP has the institutional memory needed to govern.
Itâs like a company which losses all itâs managers and most of the experienced employees leave. Those remaining donât know what to do. The House really seems that way.
He then incorrectly characterized a past court ruling about the CSR payments that found the executive branch could not appropriate the money without approval from Congress, telling reporters CSR payments themselves âwere ruled unconstitutional and illegal.â
Iâm repeating this here so that when justamarine shows up and starts claiming that the CSR payments have been declared unconstitutional and illegal by the courts, it will be here to refer to.
How do people with such minimal intelligence traverse their way around those oddly shaped gerrymandered districts? Must have drivers, I guess.
The GOP doesnât have the institutional memory needed to make a grilled cheese sandwich.
The Republicanâs motto: We put Party first, Country VERY, VERY LAST. And we signed a âPLEDGEâ to prove it.
Democrats are so much smarter than Republicans. We envelope the American spirit and we will overcome the Republican traitors. The Republican traitors to their country ARE in deep trouble. Weâre taking names and recording their track record. WE wonât forget, WE wonât let anyone forget who you are and what youâre doing to our country, Your track record will follow you and yours for the rest of your lives and beyond. Iâm surprised they have not understood this. We will remember YOU.
There are true patriots working as we speak to FIX YOUR WGON BUT GOOD. If there is a silver lining the BLACK CLOUD these people have created to hang over our country, is that theyâve provided a track and a road map to the areas that need LAWS to be put in place to prevent another President his cronies from pulling this BS EVER again. Mind you this will done by putting our Country first and not PARTY.
Just to confirm that Democrats are better at just about anything American. We represent the American way,
The last great Republican President was Abe Lincoln.
Not quite.
The stage is being set for really cheap, totally unreliable junk insurance to be sold predominately in Red states. CHIP still has not been renewed. Many feral trumpers will learn to call their GoFundMe accounts âhealth insurance.â
âI feel like the House is a military operation,â mused Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL). âWeâve got a general. We have majors. And we have a bunch of us privates. Whereas in the Senate, 100 Somali warlords.â
Dear Representative Gaetz;
You are not there to be privates, following orders from on-high. You are, in fact, called upon to be warlords. That is your job, and it is the understanding of your job that went into the very creation of your job. Allow me to offer a rebuttal from a man of far greater stature than you or I:
Certainly, gentlemen, it ought to be the happiness and glory of a representative to live in the strictest union, the closest correspondence, and the most unreserved communication with his constituents. Their wishes ought to have great weight with him; their opinion, high respect; their business, unremitted attention. It is his duty to sacrifice his repose, his pleasures, his satisfactions, to theirs; and above all, ever, and in all cases, to prefer their interest to his own. But his unbiassed opinion, his mature judgment, his enlightened conscience, he ought not to sacrifice to you, to any man, or to any set of men living. These he does not derive from your pleasure; no, nor from the law and the constitution. They are a trust from Providence, for the abuse of which he is deeply answerable. Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion.
-Edmund Burke, Speech to the Electors of Bristol, 3 Nov. 1774
Please notice the date. At the time, though we had many differences with the Crown, we were still a part of the British Empire. Mr. Burke spoke on the duties of a representative in the body that governed us, and upon which our government was largely modeled. Many of the Founders could have quoted this manâs speech word for word to you. It is to our enduring shame as a nation that it, which is a part of our national heritage, is not taught in every school in this country.
You are not a private, sir. You are an elected official who is called upon specifically to advance his own ideas, rather than merely obeying the dictates of others. Start fucking acting like it.

You know, without the rule named after that child molester, congress might actually get useful things done.
Ainât that the truth. Only in Republicland can a minority of the House refer to a bipartisan bill as âdead on arrival.â
The Republicanât Party: Killing more Americans than an al Qaeda wet dream, since 1981âŚ
Who, among us, could ever have seen this coming?
They are the equivalent of Heavenâs Gate, The Branch Davidians and The Peopleâs Temple. In the end, it all ends in death for their followersâŚ
December should be fun.
