I haven't given up all hope yet, LL. Trump called Schumer a clown -- he's probably called lots of them losers-- for a perceived slight. I don't see any evidence that he wouldn't listen to and cooperate with a Dem if it got him what he wanted. It is the folks in Congress who I wish would stop with this, on both sides.
Both sides my ass.
The GOP counts on the fact that the Dems will stop short of purposefully ******* over the nation. They take things way further and set the tone. The Dems mop up. Bren that way since Rush took over the party.
Alright, but WHO is saying Trump is not a legitimate President? That would be a 30 year senator and a Dem, and his buddies that are refusing to attend the Inauguration and all the Dems saying "He is not my President." That IS Dems. I just can't give a halo to them when Schumer says maybe they'll NEVER appoint a Supreme Court justice. That was Schumer, right? My apologies if I'm wrong.
You are witnessing the REACTION to what the GOP has already acted on. Schumer would never have said that had McConnel not denied a hearing to Garland.
Lewis spoke with very hot rhetoric. In reaction to Trump and this train wreck of a transition. How Trump reacted to that rhetoric is AND SHOULD BE more heavily scrutinized than the rhetoric itself. He's the new POTUS and he has set the tone.
Our differences are slight, LL. I realize Schumer is reacting to the unconscionable Republican refusal to give Garland a hearing and I realize that Lewis is genuinely ripped at this man who Pretends to the throne. Democrats have to rise above payback and personal feelings of disgust and disappointment, though, to keep this government of ours from becoming a totally ineffective seesaw with one party ruling every eight years and taking the country in the opposite direction. We only end up moving sideways when that happens. Do you see?
Yes. I see.
And...if the Dems do what they have always done...they will strive to work with the GOP.
Note....while it seems like we are moving sideways....please note that the nation has progressed. You don't see the GOP trying
to outlaw homosexuality or even gay marriage any more. All referendums on abortion end up with current law intact. We didn't get here by blind allegience
to GOP platform policy. The seesaw is kind of the idea.
