Washington DC - Republican agenda is being jeopardized by obstructionist....Republicans. :rofl: With the successful derailing of healthcare reform, several legislative battles, including tax reform, infrastructure spending, and the raising of the debt ceiling loom. The threat of compromise is in question now that one party controls all three branches of government. Experts fear a serious lack of reaching...down the aisle...to pass an aggressive conservative agenda....

(Side note: does anyone in Washington realize yet that we really have no money?)

One day, we may see the statist spendy spenders from both parties unite in what will unfortunately be termed a "moderate" coalition

Ryan has a perpetual deer-in-the-headlights look. Not forceful enough to knock heads in his own caucus.

Looks like we're heading for lots of two-year cycles where the party in power is feckless or divided, and the party out of power throws bombs without using the time wisely to craft policy.

I'm standing by my prediction that the American Experiment will end in 25 years max.

The only thing the Republicans do when they control everything
Is pass laws that restrict competition to their favorite lobbies

Beyond that they have no ideas...

How do I make myself wealthy - Oh, okay *Bingo
How do I help my actual constituents, I have no idea

The Democrats have never done anything as bad as the Republicans did in nominating Donald Trump as their Presidential candidate. Seriously, they have never done anything that ridiculous. You can hem and haw and try to rationalize your way around it. But it's the truth.

I find it comical, and incredibly scary that you'd rather have someone who did everything in her POWER to RIG THE FUCKING ELECTION than an idiot in the White House. The system has already proven multiple times there's protections in place for Trump's stupidity. There are far less protections in place for someone who's demonstrated, multiple times, their callous willingness (and ability) to go outside the legal system to get whatever they want.

Yes they did and that was foolish. But they nominated an adult who was qualified for the job. What they did was not as ridiculous as what the Republicans did. The Democrats did not nominate a complete clown job.

Swerving off topic but I think that's true in one sense. Exit polling did yield the estimate that 52% of voters thought the Economy was the most important issue. The next most highly rated issue was terrorism at 18%.

Only problem is that, among that estimated 52% who said the economy was the most important issue. Clinton won by an estimated 52% to 41%.

No, they nominated someone who rigged her election, MULTIPLE TIMES, whether it was through Wasserman-Bitch's position, through what they did to Sanders, to getting debate questions ahead of time, and STILL couldn't win. This country doesn't want a crooked, bitchy twat as president. Get over it.

Sorry, but I find it disturbing he'd rather have someone who purposely rigged the system for her advantage running the country. Stupidity, we can deal with. Crooks? Might as well fold up the tent.
