#2 President Trump needs to get into McConnell's and Ryan's faces. They have done nothing but delay and obstruct. Time for an a$$ kicking.

#3 After 8 years of lying, saying they would repeal the Democratic agenda, they have done nothing when the electorate sends them a President who is ready to sign their repeals.

They are fraudulent, nefarious, dishonest lizards who are a total disgrace to this nation.

#5 And we thought we might never see a man like Chuck Schumer as honorable and praiseworthy.

#6 The Pubs don't seem to know what to do with power once they have it. If they are not careful, it will slip away. Seldom does the opportunity come along when a party has the House, Senate, Presidency and the possibility of shifting the balance of SCOTUS. This window of opportunity is narrow. The American voters gave the Pubs this opportunity because the Dems were not representing the people; it was not because they have some great love for Pubs but because they thought the Pubs would hurt the country the least. They were looking for the swamp to be drained.

#7 Both kimonos lie crumpled on the floor. Not a nichel's worth of difference in either dem or pub as far as I can see. The most likely positive impact appears to be another Supreme Court death or retirement in which POTUS can potentially add some long-term, judicial course correction.

Significant short-term course corrections are being obstructed daily. Forget about 'health reform, the budget, or tax relief.'You can stick a fork in the 115th Congress, it is done.

#9 The American people often elect those who can hurt them the least. Sad state of affairs.

#11 If this isn't an argument for a small federal government, I don't know what is. Seems like it would be something that Dems and Pubs alike (the voters, at least) could agree on: both sides are f&*king it up, so let's strip it down and move government closer to the people, where we the people can better keep an eye on things. The problems with this are myriad: 1.) Dems think the answer to broken government is more broken government; 2.) the Pubs also think the answer to broken government is more broken government; 3.) eligible voters don't vote, don't know anything about the issues anyway and don't really give a shit until there's a crisis - and then they want to blame someone (typically the other party); 4.) state government is not much (any?) better, suffering from the same problems, just on a smaller scale. 5.) local governments aren't used to thinking beyond basic services, like water, building permits, cops, firemen and skimming a little of the top for themselves (at least, that's the way it is here in Dekalb County).

One might be forgiven for coming to the conclusion that our grand experiment in democracy has failed.

Now, now. I thought we all agreed that McConnell is a turtle.

I've been voting like that since Perot ran for president.

#14 is only alienating allies

And what makes them allies? They won't agree on any of the principles on which he was elected and piss all over the people that voted for him.
