Let's get an actual FACT on the fucking table, okay?

Democrats are NOT obstructing one fucking thing. NOTHING. They do not have the votes. The republicans hold all the power, 100%.

The WH, Congress, and every pissant right wing yakker are LYING to you when they say Dems are obstructing.

The "Beachhead" teams don't have a clue either and are warring with the experienced pros.

i wish we would obstruct as much as possible. of course, mostly, democrats are just doing their job, following proper procedures, such as trying to actually vet appointees. it's just that, when democrats are merely doing the job they're supposed to be doing, republicans call it "obstructionism", because we're not letting them bypass us and the law entirely.
