How about we start working together on everything? I'm so tired of the damn fools on both sides of the aisle that I wish we would all put them on notice that if they don't grow up and do their jobs FOR the American people, they will be out the door the next election.
You must be talking about democrats being " out the door".

If the Republicans win over 60 seats in 2018, then we'll see Schumer shed some real tears. ...

Correct. Sure I'm happy about finally getting a justice on the court ect....but all this going on. All this bitterness is not good for the country.

I've never seen anything like it.

It's certainly abundantly obvious since the election that bigots and racists are less cowardly about spewing their craven opinions, since they feel they have advocates in positions of power at present.

As witness above.

yep and if democrats in the minority had acted exactly like republicans in the minority 8 years ago, at least 10 of Trumps picks would have been voted on before January ended.
not only that, but it would have improved the dems ability to pick 1 or 2 of these nominations to derail.
instead, the dems have gone all in on all everything oppose all the time. Its backfiring and it will get worse for the dems.

Are you talking about the Democrats? Because they are the only one's excluding people based solely on the color of their skin.

It's one of the reasons they lost all their power.

One of these days, the democrats and their protesting allies are going to get all hot and bothered over a REAL ISSUE.... and no one is going to listen.


that's going to suck for America. but when everything is the end of the world, then even the end of the world isn't the end of the world.

I don't think the level of hatred between the idea of which direction the country should go in has been this divided since the Civil War. None of us in our lifetime have seen it.

It's social media and biased news. Something has to be done about both.

Stick with that narrative, I want the DNC to lose more seats in 2018.

Are you suggesting that every time one party is unwilling to compromise, it's strictly because the other party is being unreasonable? We all know that's not true.

No, I'd like to see nearly all of them out the door, starting with Shumer and McCain.....

[quote=WaldoKitty;47038197]It's quite a slap in the face to Chuck Schumer who no doubt had to give the boycott his blessing.

He has absolutely no power to accomplish anything.[/QUOTE]

Except making faux-tears.....
