We will get NO help from the opposition party

They are having a field day, pushing far right wing agendas through Congress with no sign of stopping, all while completely ignoring the debacle in the White House, Russian intervention, alleged high crimes and the dismantling of the Federal government.

We cannot count on anyone from their side to help us. I just watched Jeff Flake on CNN tell the whole, unvarnished truth: Congress is working on their agendas and do not care what Twitler does in the executive branch. So there you have it. Maybe John McCain pays us some lip service, but we are alone.

There are no moderate republicans.

But, yeah, the Repubs will continue to stonewall unless we can gain some electoral leverage.

They're steamrolling.


Every right wing think tank's wet dream, pipe dream and daydreams. All at once. The shock doctrine in real time.

2018 - if we can get the DCCC to do their job - will be spent putting the country back together again. By then, I fear, the wounds will be deep and the nation unrecognizable.

Not one reasonable person in the whole cabal. They are quickly dismantling decades of progress.

At least in their minds, but their minds do not have much capacity for logic and reality.
