As Trump prepares to take office, Dems are lost in a foggy swamp of denial

[Locutus]

If there’s one message both Republican and Democratic voters sent to their elected representatives in last year’s primary and general elections, it was this: we are tired of political gridlock. Do something useful!

But while most Republican lawmakers are getting ready, with varying degrees of enthusiasm and trepidation, for Donald Trump’s presidency, some Democrats are lost in a foggy swamp of denial, and seem determined to impede the incoming administration by whatever means necessary. What voice of the electorate? How soon they forget!

Let’s look at what stunts have been pulled on Capitol Hill since last November’s election, but before Trump even takes office:

• Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee tried to object to the ratification of the Electoral College results, claiming that voter suppression might have invalidated the election.

• Democrats pulled an all-night talkathon on the Senate floor, illegal under that body’s rules, to block the repeal of Obamacare.

• Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer presided over a “Make America Sick Again” photo-op, to denounce the Republican plan to scrap the Affordable Care Act.

• Sen. Schumer promised to fight “tooth and nail” against Trump’s first appointee to the Supreme Court, to replace Antonin Scalia, before Trump becomes president and well in advance of his submission of a nominee.

• Several Democratic members of congress took pictures of themselves on the floor of the House to protest a new rule that will fine selfie-snappers up to $2,500.

What is the point of these diversions? Is it to make government more efficient? Hardly.

Yikes!! trending on twitter right now is how Russia has proof that Trump used prostitutes. Myself, I don't believe this to be true. There are tweet saying Obama can use Marshall Law to stop the inauguration, which I also can't see happening. It's like a bad movie.

I can never recall a political party being so intent on doing whatever it can to wreck the country they wanted to represent. The Democrats should be ashamed, each and every one who goes to such lengths to discredit the impending new administration before it is even inaugurated.
Dems are acting like a bunch of babies who have been denied the candy they wanted. Grow the hell up!!!!!!

After all the support the Reps gave Obama why are the Dems playing politics? It's just not fair.

I'm starting to lose track of all of Locs sniff sniffity threads. How long will it be (if ever) before Trump actually accomplishes something and Loc can stop his sniffity sniffily. A sure sign of having nothing positive is the constant whining about the Democrats. It's like they're getting all the excuses lined up before Donny even gets to the Whitehouse

There is a video out made by the hollywould elitists urging their representatives to block any and all new legislation in any way possible. These self-absorbed narcissists don't yet know what legislation may be introduced and do not seem to realize it pretty much all has to come from the house or Senate before Donald either accepts or vetos it. It is sad that I know more of the legislative process than these American citizens claiming to know better than the electorate.

The biggest idiots are the ones who quote what they hear on the news. The "News" is absolutely useless unless you are able to verify all of it. Until you can you have nothing. What we know for sure is Hillary got dumped on her ear because enough people voted for Trump in areas that did the most amount of good. We have absolutely no way of knowing how much involvement Russia had if any, so it's best just to assume they had none. We know Trump is the man and could be for another 8 years!

He thinks "we have no way of knowing" anything. Of course you're not going to be able to know anything for sure if your constant view is the inside of your rectum.

No, the toothless Hillbillies who voted for Drumpf are the same aimless, angry mob who backed the Tea Baggers.
