Washington Post: Democrat obstruction unprecedented

[Snouter]

I don't mean to be impoilite, but do some retarded morons think OSAMA HUSSAINE actually improved anything?

 

[edward37]

Simple question

Why should Democrats cooperate with Republicans on anything?

For the good of the country. But that doesn't change the fact that Trump doesn't want compromise, and his game plan is to detract from his defeats by saying crazy ass shit like Obama tapped my phones and Judges are putting you at risk because ONLY my EO can prevent attacks. His whole schtick is to blame it on others.

and we complained that Obama wouldn't reach out. LOL

But Schumer would be in a hard place if Trump was offering him deals that would give him even 40%. Look at immigration. Chuck Schumer is no friend of Iran or Palestine. But the Bernie supporters are calling for a tea party war. Right now Trump is giving the dems good cover, while the gop is coming apart.

Sorry, I missed all of Obama's compromises. Please list them. Some. Any.

We only hear the C word from liberals when they lose. The GOP is coming apart? Liberal heads are coming apart. But they were not too tightly wrapped in the first place.

Obama compromised on extending the Bush tax cuts, he compromised on including significant tax cuts in the stimulus and allowing the stimulus to be managed by the states, he compromised on universal healthcare and the Government option

Where did Republicans compromise on anything?

compromise is not in republicans dictionary

This coming from the same people who lectured the GOP leaders about "Elections have consequences...I won!" and then when they lost the midterms declared that they would run the country with Executive Orders? Now the Democrats have lost another election and their response is to stonewall every Cabinet appointment that the incoming President tries to install for as long as they can to disrupt the transition from one President to another?

But it's the GOP that can't compromise? Please...your party is acting like little kids throwing a tantrum in the supermarket because Mommy wouldn't buy them a candy bar!

And just how are republicans acting with their ever so thin margin of victory ??? Gonna drain the swamp?? lol The have all the snakes in their cabinets now

Then you don't know what Trump was referring to. Why prove your ignorance?

Just go by the numbers, Before and After:
Unemployment 8.2 to 4/.7
Deficit from $1.5 T to $400B
DOW 8,000 to 19,000

All the one's republicans obstructed.

 

[radical right]

Republicans claimed Obama policies would cause a 'double dip' recession. Never happened, and in fact, when England enacted the austerity the republicans called for, their economy was plunged into a double dip recession.

A tale of two policies.

We never had a 3% gdp growth year under Obama's policies. That's depression era stuff. Your spin is ridiculous. England? WTF? You are a devoutee of liberalism and just reciting your holy passages.

GDP as been under 3% annually for about 17 years now with the exception of the 2 years when the housing bubble pushed it north of 3%.

CITIZEN’S GUIDE TO THE 2010 FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

After falling by 2.7 percent during FY 2009, real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rose at an average annual rate of 3.2 percent over the four quarters of FY 2010; the economy added 691,000 private nonfarm payroll jobs during FY 2010, after losing 6.3 million private jobs from private nonfarm payrolls during FY 2009.

Looks like the Democrats are embracing being the party of "no" simply because they can't accept losing an election. Let's hope the American people make them pay for this during the 2018 midterms.

• Of the last seven administrations, three had a full Cabinet confirmed and in place within three weeks of the president’s inauguration.

• President Barack Obama had all but two nominees confirmed within two weeks of his inauguration. And President Bill Clinton had all but one nominee confirmed within one week after he took the oath of office.

• So, what about President Donald Trump? At four weeks into his presidency, a mere six of his 15 nominees had not yet been voted on. And at the end of week seven, two of those nominees haven’t even had a single committee hearing.

• How did this happen? Simple: Senate Democrats decided, as a conference, to block and obstruct Trump’s Cabinet nominees, carelessly smashing Senate norms of procedure and etiquette in the process.

• Senate Democrats have gone to such extraordinary lengths to sabotage the normal process of a new president staffing his administration that even The Washington Post called their obstruction “unprecedented.”

• Trump’s Cabinet remains unfilled nearly three months into his presidency. And the rate of confirmation for his other nominees has been just as slow.

• With more than 1,000 additional positions still needing to be confirmed by the Senate, the bureaucracy will keep humming along without reforms and critical areas of the government will be compromised. Meanwhile, Democrats fill their election war chests and cause a political media frenzy.

Senate Democrats Are Delaying 'Drain the Swamp'

Coming from the party who refused to even hold hearings on Merrick Garland.

You're utterly full of shit. But funny!

Many of Trumps Billionaire nominees were delayed becase the senate was still waiting on them to finish filling out their financial disclosure forms. They were as long and involved as Trumps tax returns, which take up reams of paper.

You're not only a liar - you're an idiot. Iceweasel specifically said "3% gdp growth year". Your dumb ass posts a story about "average annual rate". Average and actual are two entirely different things. So you're either an idiot or a disingenuous asshole. Either way, Iceweasel was 100% correct (as always)

So?

He also had no years of negative GDP

Something Bush can't say

 

[P@triot]

So?

So that means that his left-wing economic policies were a disaster. Eight years in office and he couldn't achieve even a single year of 3% or more GDP.

And Bush had only 2 years north of 3%. Should he brag?

Only reason Bush went over 3% was because of the housing bubble that crashed the economy. Nothing to brag about

Its a republican congress, Homer. They can nominate whoever they want and in whatever time frame they want. How dumb can you be

In Democrat Congresses, the Republican Minority accept the fact that Elections Have Consequences. Why can't Democrats accept or adhere to that? Only when they win.

Only reason Bush went over 3% was because of the housing bubble that crashed the economy.

So your argument is that economic collapse (due to Clinton’s policies) created economic prosperity? Bwahahaha! Since when does collapse result in prosperity?
