Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That's the way it should be. Shut it down until he stops trying to be a petty little dictator.
Okay, but what if the news calls Dems "Obstructionist". Then they should fold instantly and apologize, right?
Shit, I forgot that was the dem's only weakness.
Don't forget to say thank you....
Fuck Schummer and the other 9 people that were successfully bribed by GOP.
They have no voting power. The GOP rules all three branches, so they could sit out every vote and they would still pass.
They can use, and in fact could have used, the filibuster. That's supposedly the reason they've kept the damn thing for so long.
Credit where credit is due. Corey Booker did, in fact, use the filibuster to ~~block terrible trump appointments~~....no wait.... That's not right. It was political theatrics so he can he has the longest running filibuster instead of some old racist.
Well it's a good thing they saved it for that or else they might have to be the opposition party.
To what end? It's is only a delaying tactic, that's all it can ever do.
This is what gets me. I see so much they are not doing enough but boy we really fucked ourselves in that last election. Im betting even many republicans voted assuming trump would not win. All the same there have been votes that many democrats have pissed me off with but then there have also been things where they got a lot of flak but I saw as the smart move. Like not letting the shutdown happen. Trump would be estatic to say various agencies have to be shut down because congress and not because he is ripping them apart. Those confirmations though. eff that. no votes for unless that person has a background appropriate to the job.
