Republicans can’t govern worth diddle squat. They control the House, the Senate, the Presidency, and pretty near the Supreme Court. They still can’t get anything done. Thank you, Sweet Jesus.
Their senatorially painful decision announced on Tuesday to sacrifice some of lawmakers’ usually sacrosanct August recess was a public confession that they have not gotten the job done even while controlling the White House, Senate and House of Representatives.
If they can’t get anything done in those two weeks, they really need to go back to the minors and let the big boys play.
On the other hand, I do imagine that not many of them want to go back home. They are just gonna get hollered at. Let’s face it, all of us have on our hollering shoes and our numbers grow everyday.
Ted Cruz told the news that nobody in Texas even mentioned the Russians during his last visit. Well, when you limit your town halls to 75 people and have the Republicans line up real early, you’re likely not to hear much at all. And, when you’re facing not being able to afford the medicine that’s keeping you alive, Russia ain’t on your mind at all. Caring about Russia is the privileged outrage of people who can afford health insurance.
And then there’s this:
Mr. McConnell said the early August agenda would extend beyond health care, which Senate Republicans still hope to finish off next week. He ticked off a few other measures, including an always contentious debt limit increase, a usually bipartisan Pentagon policy bill and an important piece of legislation for the Food and Drug Administration.
Now what makes this guy think he can get all that done in two weeks when for the past 7 1/2 months, he’s gotten nothing done? Is he planning on arming the senate and taking hostages? If so, he could start with Mike Pence – that guy ain’t doing nothing.
