  1. Meh, amd we have a filibuster too that would prevent passing anything like that, at least not without a lot of coalition building, and that is something diametrically opposite to Trump’s approach. (And if you get rid of the filibuster, everything gets undone one month into the next Dem administration)

    How about this, maybe just start slashing the budget. You don’t have to get past a filibuster for that, of course Trump is against that.

  2. Every goddam politician in the US is a lying assed criminal.

    There is no accountability, and incompetency is rampant.

    The best any of us can do is become as independent as possible and try to avoid any contact at all with anything gov’t.

    Voting? Please.
    What’s the point?
    Everything just keeps getting worse and worse and nothing is to be done about it until massive financial collapse occurs.

  3. For years I’ve known that politicians are like a sports league, for example the NFL. They suit up in their different team colors and make a show of competing against each other, make a show of hating each other, but at the end of the day its all the same. We send them money, they get rich. We don’t benefit from the transaction as much as they do.
    This morning it looks very bleak. The left gets stronger, they have occasional setbacks but they’re like a boa constrictor, if you exhale they squeeze a bit tighter.
    Its noteworthy when a democrat crosses the aisle, not so much when republicans cross. It does seem inevitable that the left will win.

  4. We are long past the point that any correction can be done to the system as is. Best we can hope for is a minor balkanization of our country. Kurt has the best analysis I have read so far.

    I remember the old guys complaining the world was ending and our way of life dying back in the mid seventies. Now I am an old phart screaming into the wind.

    Going to load some magazines. Better do it know while I have the time rather than later when I am holding of the yuppies.

  5. Team Elephant doesn’t go after it, because they have their respective pen’s in the company ink as well. They’re just not as good at it as Team Jackass.
