To be fair when your goal is the destruction of American democracy in favour of a bastard mix of corporate fascism and Christian theocracy the idea that Democrats are your enemy probably isn’t wrong.
In 2015, Hurd voted 96% with his party’s position on roll-call votes. As of January 2018, Hurd had voted with his party in 93% of votes so far in the 115th United States Congress and voted in line with President Trump’s position in 96.6% of votes.
Will Hurd is not a moderate.
No, “fought and lost” is not better. Trump tried to show Nancy Pelosi who was the boss after he lost the House. He lost. Trump is a loser.
There are no “moderate” rethuglicans. It’s been a myth for forty years.
Mark Meadows and Gym Jordan are two of the stupidest mofos on the face of the earth.
It’s now just dawning on Trump and the GOP that the way they’ve run business for the past 10 years–basically taking the opposite of what the Democrats offer-- is not the way to govern. It takes compromise. And for all the power they had for 2 years (control of all three branches of gov’t) they couldn’t get anything done. No repeal of Obamacare. No better heath care plan. No trade agreement better than NAFTA. And definitely no wall! All they accomplished was a lemon of tax plan (and America is just now discovering in their returns just how much of a lemon it is).
Reminder of who Jim Jordan is, for anyone having trouble placing the name:
Jordan was an assistant wrestling coach with Ohio State University’s wrestling program from 1987 to 1995. OSU opened an investigation in April 2018 that looked into allegations of sexual misconduct by the former wrestling team’s physician, Richard Strauss — who was the physician during Jordan’s tenure as an assistant coach. …
In early July 2018, at least eight former wrestlers said that Jordan had been aware of, but didn’t respond to, allegations of sexual misconduct by Strauss
And Squeal and Ron Popeil
I thought tRump said I would get tired of so much winning. Nah, dude! Keep it coming!
Maybe someone will talk him into a game of Russian roulette:
“It’s cool; it’s Russian, ya’ know? Here you first…”
“The omnibus!” he interjected. “It was obvious."

Trump is an expert at holding out for the worst deal possible and declaring victory.
Forgive me, but please just HUSH until he signs the deal. Gloating right this very minute may push him away from signing it!!!
Two things:
Here is a graphic that demonstrates clearly that republicans have no idea how to govern:
“The shutdown permanently cost the U.S. economy $3.6 billion, according to the Congressional Research Service.”
CBO states the Trump Government Shutdown cost 11 Billion:
Government Shutdown Cost U.S. Economy $11 Billion, C.B.O. Says
NYT and other blogs.
FIFY
They’re good with anything they think pisses us off
Donnie tells them it does
They believe
He was so stupid to make such a big deal of this after democrats took control. I guess he thought somehow he could win and try and make himself look tough. Boy did he guess wrong. Hopefully between Ds standing up to him and Mueller finally bringing russian dirt to light we’ll get him out of office asap.
Oh FFS For the two years they had power they couldn’t agree with themselves
For more than two years of his presidency, most of it with unified Republican control of the city…
They only had control of a city? Well that explains a lot!
The headline is exquisite.
