The division was never more obvious than last night.

[kentuck]

As Republicans cheered for everything, Democrats cheered for barely nothing. The division has not been healed by a teleprompted speech.

The distrust of Donald Trump is deeper than ever. Until questions are resolved about tax returns, his business deals, his Russian connections, his praise of Putin, his secrecy and his control over his subordinates in the White House, etc, there can be no healing of this division.

Democrats demand more transparency from this White House. They refuse to sweep these very serious questions under the rug, and, pretend as the Republicans do, that nothing should be done about attacks upon our democracy and elections.

Until Trump and the Republicans agree to be honest and transparent, there can be no working together. We cannot walk off that cliff with the Republicans. We will continue to fight them every step of the way.

1. None of the things you mentioned

will heal the division. Nothing will, and I have no interest in getting along or cooperating with these people. I simply want them removed from power.

[kentuck]

2. There's not a chance...

if they are not resolved. It would be insane to agree with these people.

[angrychair]

3. I find it intensely disturbing

That a single Democrat cheered or clapped for anything or for any reason.

What is happening, in the real world, right now, is unhinged and catastrophic. To be normalizing this shitshow is unacceptable and insulting.

If you work with, cheer or support a single fucking thing this asshole or this republican-controlled Congress is shoving down our throats, like the complete meltdown of healthcare, FUCK YOU! No matter the letter after your name. It's time to choose sides. It's not a figure of speech, there are more of us than there are of them.

9. I find it extremely gratifying... and no one scremaed out liar at

liar Trump.

[kentuck]

10. +100

We must not fall for this dangerous scam.

4. Sinister Mcconnell behind all of what's wrong with America

He and Ryan control the agenda. The majority of Americans right now are without representation. We're taxed by a government that does not represent us.

7. Mitch McConnell is the "worst person in the world"...

and proud of his obstuctionism (and racism) during the Obama administration, and in getting his way these days. He can't keep the silly, ear to ear grin off his face in every news photo. He's just shameless in his uber partisanship, and wants his "opponents" to know it. The concept of "the loyal opposition" working for ALL the voters, began being obsolete before the Turtleman, but I credit him with having happily administered the death blows. Paul Ryan is probably only dedicated to looking out for himself and his advancement. I can see him anticipating shafting Pence as soon as it's feasible.

5. They will all join hands when the tax cuts come around

Well, not all, but I am willing to bet many many Democrats will vote for them.

6. Kentuck...I think it goes deeper than that...

Aside from the fact that his personal and business dealing are reprehensible, it's his policies steeped in hatred, greed and bigotry that I object to..

He can release tax returns
cooperate with an investigation of his business dealings with Russia ...all that stuff...

but I will never support his bigoted ignorant policies....or for that matter the congress that enables him.

[kentuck]

8. ewagner...

Long time.,.no see!

I agree with you but Democrats need to be reminded of why we cannot support this dangerous liar and criminal.

[ewagner]

11. been a bit busy...

hold two elected positions and hold some pretty weighty committee chairmanships but I do get up to DU at least once a day..

glad to see you're still in the battle!

and you're right...we can't "normalize" this liar!

[kentuck]

12. Welcome back!

It looks like the shit has hit the fan today!

Good timing.

[ewagner]

13. Still catching up!
