“We’re in the building. Swearing in tomorrow,” congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York captioned a photograph of her and five incoming female colleagues, posing in the US Capitol.
[grown man unashamedly squeals like an excited little girl]
Me likey those ball busting pumps. Look out Free Dumb Caucus!
“…setting up what could be an increasingly acrimonious two years in the nation’s capital as they square off with the bellicose president.”
Being bellicose is the personality trait that represents the most ripe factor for acrimonious relations? I'd posit the fact he's a liar, a misogynist, a xenophobic racist, marginally sentient and intelligent, and a completely untrustworthy negotiator rank higher than his bellicosity as factors dooming Dem-GOP relations.I would like to point out that the among the differences between 2010 and now are
-
The vote margin was bigger than 2010;
-
The positions held by the 2011-2019 House were at variance with those of the majority of the American people;
-
Those GOP Congressmen who were elected during the 2011-2019 House were selected based on their extreme right positions and aversion to compromise;
-
I hate Newt Gingrich (this not really in the above sequence, but it feels good to express that sentiment).
…and accelerating his descent into belligerent insanity .
How will history judge those sycophants sitting at that table listening to the rants of a madman and eating the shit sandwich he provided with a straight face
Not one to say the emperor has no clothes .
He will be pushed so far they will no longer be able to deny it
Being an acolyte of a madman isn’t always a disqualifying factor for entering back into the world of proper people. The U.S forgave and hired dozens of Nazis and brought them here for various reasons. Make yourself needed, if not indispensible, and people will forget your past.
Methinks there will be a sorting out indeed. Von Braun was not Himmler and Mattis is not Miller.
Please welcome the Dems back and let the acrimony begin.
Meanwhile, back at the Senate,
Will the looney burger in the WH be in attendance voicing his opposition to all that takes place or cowering in his bedroom watching Faux news?
Is it still technically possible for McConnell, before noon, to rush through a Senate rules change and then pass the bill that includes wall funding?
Got to run. Got to finish the tinfoil hat I’m making for my tinfoil hat.
And some dumb ass Democrat from California plans to file Articles of Impeachment on day 1. Don’t get too used to this Democratic majority. Dumb ass shit like that and AOC’s silly objection to pay-go that will not effect her agenda one damn bit are symptoms fatal illness. The new Progressives have a ZERO shot at going it alone but right at the get go plan on scuttling the Democratic ship. Anti-Pelosi shit AOC? That’s for FOX and Limbaugh young lady. Charging into the House majority and immediately using that new power to launch attacks on your political foes is exactly what folks are tired of. Impeachment is very unpopular with the American people. That’s why smarter folks in the 1970’s drug their feet on Nixon until he walked without that mess. For fucks sake can’t that California dick head at least wait until Mueller releases his findings?
The Democrats. One hit wonders.
He can express his loutishness best by staying away from the swearing in of the New, Improved! House.
Guess who will be sitting behind Dotard at the SOTU speech?
I’ll go with Faux News and Limbaugh
He needs to find out what his position should be
All I could add is maybe the obvious: We’ve not had anyone so unqualified on so many levels – intellectual, character,emotional,competence – in the position of POTUS.
Your hatred is showing. That’s not leadership.
It’s always been possible for him to do it. He’s vicious not stupid though. Mac has a problem and it’s not Democrats that are that problem. He has a GOP problem. Half the GOP Senators don’t want to vote for a wall, see it fail, and then confront their constituents about that.
Oh so glad she’ll be sitting there but I will not be able to watch. Well, maybe I could watch but I cannot not listen to the crazy.
