Wednesday

from Gingrich to a non-governing 100% obstructionist party to the current fascist insanity without a party platform, just how the hell are Democrats to blame for being unable to fix things? Speaker Pelosi's House passed all kinds of great things -- climate, gun control, voting rights and civil rights -- died in Republican senate. A miracle Obama and Biden got major pieces of legislation passed in the short time before Republicans took back Congress.

Republicans have made government the Democrats and everyone hates the government. And anything explained about not having votes or power is brushed off with, oh, that's just an excuse or oh, that's not good enough. Fucking idiots.
