Trump Owns Washington Gridlock
May 23, 2019 at 8:55 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


First Read: “By telling Democrats that he won’t work on items like infrastructure until they end their investigations into him, President Trump on Wednesday took ownership of Washington’s gridlock.”

“That’s a dangerous place for any American president, especially one facing re-election a year from now. In fact, it’s pretty similar to when Trump took ownership of a government shutdown in that meeting last December with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.”

“It’s a given that it’s more difficult to get things done in Washington when there’s divided government… Trying makes it easier to at least share the gridlock. Not trying, however, makes you own it.”

Never no mention of Republicans in the senate, and especially McTurtle who won't allow legally voted on documents/bills to even be introduce to the senate floor for consideration. Nada, zip . .

But alas most of shithole's fucked up judges and appointments have no problem of being voted on and confirmed.
