Be patient, the next election(s) are on the horizon and the G.O.P.
is going down, the bullies will be crying real soon.

They are damned if they do and damned if they don't
and it is their fault (greed).

I merely note the disparity in media treatment of issues, depending on which party benefits. It's up to us, then, to make sure our friends, relatives, acquaintances, and other folks who cross our path know and understand that when it comes to responsible governance, the Democrats have it all over the feckless Republicans.

This needs to be continued to be repeated by every Democrat in the House and Senate until Americans are blue in the face from hearing it. Being reminded constantly what Trump rallied and promised in 2016 CANNOT be put aside.

what level of intellect would they have to have been to BELIEVE that Trump would be able to "make Mexico pay for the Wall?" Also, what about Eminent Domain? Would U.S. landowners along the border be happy with giving up their land for an eyesore?

It was hilarious. He has put out a lot of them, each funnier than the last. But the one I'm referencing, had him saying "We are NOT going to pay for that fucking wall."
