It's amazing - they get 1 of 3 branches and they get to call all of the shots! |

Pretty impressive goals. Oh plus a pledge to work across "party" lines from the WH. Whatthefuckever. If one doesn't know by now that the loons on the right consider doing 100% of their bidding as "compromise", and giving in on 100% of your ideas, then one might not even be capable of learning. Ah, I suppose it's just a rope-a-dope, right?

8. Right spot on. They've been calling the shots for two years. |

The repukes may be soulless slim but the one thing they are not is gutless when they defending their ideas as fucked up as they might be.

I had no beer and travel money before election, I still don't have beer and travel money.
So what is the point again?

9. You'd almost think that the Democrats didn't REALLY oppose them! |
|
And in the case of all those Blue Dogs, you'd be right.

10. Seems more like they got 1/3 of a branch which makes it even worse... |
|
They arguably have the Court so gives them 1 1/3 branches which still leaves us in charge with 1 2/3... not working that way is it.

13. They called all the shots with 0 of 3 branches |
|
that's what I call impressive. Of course a bunch of unimpressive Democrats enabled them.
