You think they're not going to have a fresh new slate of ambassadors to vote on or want some votes on the impending shutdown this month or anything? There's nothing that the R's want that can be affected at all?

So you want examples of minority Senate obstruction but not from 2009-2016? Just want to make sure I understand the assignment before I make a list

Thank you for saying it!

Thank you.

Sure. But what will they do when congress does reconvene? Perhaps the “leadership” in both houses can put together some type of plan. I know that’s asking far too much but here’s hoping!

They also got Koch money to push that agenda.

They got the corporate media to amplify their narrative.

McConnell and Gingrich had the media and wealthy on their side pushing their agenda. And they did whine a lot too. Mostly they were super hypocritical and the MSM let them get away with it.

They had a president who listened to the law. And Schumer is doing a lot of of the same things they did, but you don’t hear about that because people would rather sit on him.

You know fuck-all about anything.

Uhm...sorry to inform you about your incredible misreading of history, but McConnell and Gingrich did what they did when they were Senate Majority Leader and Speaker of the House, respectively. That meant that their parties controlled the branches of Congress....

McConnell only became an effective obstructionist when they had regained the House. You are misremembering. Check your facts.

You sure admire republicans, weird

Just asking for the truth. He MUST be removed…and they should be demanding it.

Okay so in response to this I’m forced to assume you cannot count to 200.

Actually it isn't defeatism to note what the limits are. It's realism. Saying it's defeatist to not put your hopes and dreams on a dragon swooping in to save the day by setting fire to Mar A Largo would be equally as foolish.

While these Dem bashers get pissed at Dems for Republican actions, Republicans in Congress do not even have the balls to remove their do~boy Speaker, no less Donald. These people are exactly why we are here. They are so easy to rail against Dems, even for Repub. doings, and Republicans know it.

Well thanks for that Captain Obvious. 🙄

If the Dems return and don't bring a full stop to all Senate business until we get a vote on the resolution requiring Congressional authorization for any further action in Venezuela, it's an abdication of responsibility. And that's the bare minimum at this point. It's "fuck you, make me" time.

There have been statements coming out all day from congress members all over the country. Do try to keep up, dear.

Here's some: www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/01/the-...

AOC, Bernie, Chris Van Hollen, Rashida (unfortunately, mostly on "the other site" that shall not be named).
