Can we quit with the
Dance
And get on with f***ing running the country?!?!!
You know? I've been fighting myself over this very topic. Why do what the repubs did? Why not do what is right for the country? But then I remember, Obama spent the first year trying to get along with the repubs & instead of cramming his mandate down their throats actually tried hard to get consensus. But noooooo, it was "We will make him a one term president" "we won't let him get anything he wants" all of the obstructionism. Remember it was Obama that would say first "get this thing resolved with each other or I will use the power of my pen to"
Then I think of the repubs, who once hated & understood how terrible Trump as president would be but now so quick to drop to their knees to service him. Think about the obstructionism not allowing the President to name his SCOTUS for almost a whole year while now declaring we should all rubber stamp all of Trumps appointees just because he is president..
Trump on the other hand does the power of the pen first, then chides the repubs to follow suit lock step. Trump has yet to meet with the dems yet he has the gall to say in his address to joint body of congress that he is all about working across the isle. Really? When? Right after you call everyone who disagrees the enemy? Next year? Then he lies & does what he wants (without a mandate) and fills the swamp (granted not with as many politicos) with the very people that benefit the most who already have the most. The swamp is getting deeper & more dangerous. Especially with the misogynistic, racist wacko alt-righties imbedded. So just get on with the work? (undoing all of the good, padding the wealthy?) So just get along with each other?
HELL NO! We refuse to go quietly into the abyss!
