Discussion: Mulvaney Is Not Happy With The Senate: 'What The Hell Is Going On?'

Whatā€™s going on is that they didnā€™t swear an oath of loyalty to you or your Sith lord, you piece of shit.

Theyā€™re cretins, but their job isnā€™t to genuflect and make your will a reality.

Iā€™m certainly not a fan of the Republican Senate, but if theyā€™re a successful impediment to the so-called presidentā€™s agenda, keep it up until the end of 2018 and then letā€™s have the Democrats take over that task.

ā€œIā€™m not going to blame myself, Iā€™ll be honest,ā€ Trump told reporters.

Well, heā€™s honest about the first half of that anyway.

Democracy: the worst form of government possible, except for all the others.

I think itā€™s interesting that Mulvaney apparently said, ā€œHell, the Senate canā€™t pass any of our confirmations.ā€ Iā€™m assuming heā€™s constructing or countering the narrative regarding Trumpā€™s just plain lack of putting candidates up for confirmation; but the record seems to paint a different picture.

Or am I misunderstanding?

I remember when even the opposition party would vote for almost all of a presidentā€™s nominees to executive-branch offices; Trump is having a hard time even getting republicans. When he puts up a nominee at all.

shorter Mulvaney: ā€œWhy is the Senate GOP not as batshit crazy as the House GOP??ā€

Itā€™s odd, I donā€™t know why, but for some reason the idea of Trump ever blaming himself for anything reminds me of an old proverb about the likelihood of hell freezing over.

ā€œThe House passed health careā€¦

It did? I seem to remember them repealing health care, not passing health care. Obama pushed through a health care billā€“and it passed, you just wanted to destroy it.

And I got through a whole post with once saying fuck.

Damnā€¦so close.

To be fair, Nancy Pelosi did manage to smash the ACA through the House, but I would find it hard to believe that Mike Mulvaney was praising Nancy Pelosi.

Spent his entire career in the House cocooned inside his teanut dogma bullshit-bubble and now that heā€™s institutionally compelled to pop his head out of it (covered in shit though it still is), heā€™s baffled by the failure of the world to work as he knew it should, seeing things that are as old as the Republic itself as if they were new and he was the first to discover them.

Itā€™s up to Congress to decide what the agenda is. Trump isnā€™t a CEO anymore.

Mulvaney has learned how to whineā€¦from his boss, the Whiner-in-Chief.

Yes, the failure is entirely and exclusively with the Senate, which failed to just pass any disgraceful bill in order for the president to claim a win, and not with the President himself, who has zero governing skills, and granted that Obama was a leader, Trump will probably refuse to ever become one. On the other hand, heā€™s a breaker of things, a de-stabilizer, and a threat to friend and foe. Thereā€™s that funny thing about evilā€™s penchant to destroy. Evil destroys both good and evil without distinction and ultimately itself, yet for the ilk of Republicans its embrace is irresistible. Yes, Iā€™m using the E word, and itā€™s long overdue in our discourse.

Mulvaney was a tea party house member known as a bomb thrower. His budget documents have reflected his profound ignorance and ignorance shared with the whiner in chief. He has no real understanding of the legislative process or the implications of the narrow division of the Senate. He probably doesnā€™t understand that states arenā€™t gerrymandered.

If he was smart he would be working to convince the House to pass legislation that can pass in the Senate.

Mulvaney is another one of those rabid ā€˜Young Gunsā€™ that never did a fking thing except whine and snivel and proclaim his victimhoodā€¦when he wasnā€™t actively trying to tear down America. He cut his teeth on ā€˜What is wrong with the Senateā€™ when the crappy legislation passed in the House by Ryan, Cantor, etal never went anywhere. It take HUGE ballz to whine about another legislative body when everything THEY did was booedā€¦

Whining has always been one of Mulvaneyā€™s strongest character traits. He doesnā€™t need to learn from anybody. It just comes naturally.

Keep it up jerks, attack one branch of government at you peril.

They donā€™t work for you, Trump toady, and you need to slime down to the Oval and tell your master that. He seems to believe theyā€™re his employees. That humiliating spectacle Monday at the White House confirms it.
