    The Republicans know this will not pass. Put something together that will pass. You don’t work for Trump, you are supposed to work for the voters.

        Democracy is slow. It takes time, and more importantly coordination, to work properly. It’s only dead if you decide to stop showing up to vote, if you stop sharing your views, if you decide thought and discussion aren’t worth it anymore.

        No, and you wonder why presidents keep pressing to give themselves more executive authority. The screaming children in Congress who never learned how to share are about to give the American people one more nothing-sandwich, just like every meal we’ve been served for decades.

        You remember that recent story about the fact that we can seemingly go to war without Congress’ approval? Yeah, just imagine trying to get these twats to agree to do anything militarily. They’d still be arguing after the smoke cleared.

        Simple reason: the base is rabid for Trump, and Trump is extremely vindictive. Cross him, and your grasp on power is gone. Cozy up to him, and you get just a bit more power, which is all these ghouls care about.

        95% of them don’t believe in anything except whatever gets them ahead.
