Ok, wait a minute. When Obama got elected it was the Republicans who said they wanted to make sure he was a one term president. They never worked with him ,obstruction was the norm.
Not true.
When Democrat Harry Reid took over the Senate in the last two years of Bush's term, he decided to block all Republican-proposed legislation.
After Obama got elected, he didn't allow any amendments by Republicans to Obamacare, and he wouldn't allow votes on more than 300 hundred bills that were sent over to him from the Republican House.
The normal thing to do is to consider a bill from the House, come up with your alternative version of the bill in the Senate, and then go to a conference committee of both houses to compromise.
That didn't happen in the case of over 300 bills.
It was the Democrats who obstructed, not the Republicans -- all with the approval of Obama.
Some of us actually follow what's going on on C-Span. You might consider trying it some time.
What's that supposed to mean? If anything he is going to screw the whole country not just the anti trump people. Look at his appointments! Putting Rick oops Perry in charge of the EPA. This is the department he wanted to get rid of until he forgot during the debate. This guy is a real genius (sarcasm) I wouldn't put Perry in charge of the dog pound. If you look at his other appointments most are equally as bad. It's frightening for the country. Not who won or lost. The whole country lost. Wait until you see how he is going to bankrupt us. Worse than W. Bush. Do you have any idea of the price of the wall he wants and is still insisting on putting up?
No,snowflake he isn't going to get it from Mexico. Keep dreaming ....
You sound like an MSNBC/CNN/Huffington Post talking point machine.
It's hard to take you seriously.
By the way, where in the Constitution does it say that we have to have departments of energy, labor, education, etc.?
Or HUD, HHS, NIH, etc.?
Apart from the post office, military and interstate highway system, I don't see much that Washington does that couldn't be done by the states.

LOL. It's not true ....not even close.Seriously where do you guys make this stuff up?
He released a lot more information than just tax returns on his companies and his personal wealth when he filed to run with the federal elections commission or whatever it's called.
Since I know you didn't even bother to read that one-hundred-plus page document, your going on about his taxes doesn't impress me in the least.
You remind me of the snowflakes having melt-downs over Trump's election who didn't even bother to vote.
LOL
Keep it up, I love melt-downs.
Haaar! Melt downs? Care to do a simple post count as to who it is on here doing the full monty of meltdowns?
By the by; exactly when in your maturity process did you miss the lesson that resorting to childish name calling would instantly result in reducing your arguments to the irrelevant?
I am and always have been a Republican and have supported Trump pretty much this whole electoral process. And I am a college student, so quite a rare breed at my stage of life. I completely respect opinions of moderate liberals, but the "progressives" have opinions that are so insane, I have a very hard time respecting them.
-They hate anybody who is white, male, Christian, and straight, even if they are white themselves.
-If a white person is put in prison for committing a crime, they are thrilled, but if a minority is put in jail for the exact same crime, they go nuts.
-They say that Trump is going to be the first fascist dictator of America and say how much they hate dictatorships, yet many idolize Communism and Socialism.
-If you didn't agree with Obama's policies, it was because he was black.
-They say that if we don't believe in illegal immigration, we hate all foreigners.
-If we believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman and a different term should be used for the union of same sex couples, we are homophobic.
-They say that the Catholic Church is holding them back, even though they have nothing to do with anything.
Anyway, just needed to vent. Am I the only Republican who sees the insanity here? And I will not tolerate backlash either. I want this to be a civil thread-that's literally all I ask.
I am from the Vietnam generation. Most of the rich white liberals that marched against the war in Vietnam are now comfortably retired from large corporations where Socialism and protest became a distant memory. They are now the Republican backbone of suburban New York and New Jersey because they soon found out that the Democrats couldn't butter their bread.
I was a conservative back in college for the sole reason that I believed that the protests were aid and comfort to the enemy. I am now a liberal mostly because I've seen how well organized the corporatists are when compared to the working people and the unions. The inequity is ruining our middle class.
We survived Johnson and Nixon. We will survive Trump. You are in your early twenties. Take a look at these extremists in twenty years and see if they still hate white people or consider Marxism realistic.

Agree. All of these different departments is the reason why we pay so much in federal taxes. Let the states and districts handle those affairs. The Fed is there to protect the nation at large.
