There are things that are not fucking said and not fucking done, and the Democrats have done far less of both since that fucking dick of a president took office. If the Republicans here and beyond will piss on a corpse on their way to Trump's castles in the air, their party deserves all the death it could get, doomed forever as the Party of Trump, the Party of the Unspeakable.

Yep.
And let's not pretend that the median voter theory is completely bunk. There is truth in it. Democrats will, without a doubt to win votes, agree on various controversial issues that the Republicans will, and likely aren't in the interest of the people (but rather more an aesthetic "people think this is good" policy).

No, because the bill had nothing to do with guns. It was just something the GOP added last minute because they held majority and wanted it.

I do not fucking care about what Obama did, he's not the issue, the issue here is that fucking dick Trump, stop apologizing for him and what the fuck he is condoning, all in line with his hostility to all guilty of having questioned him, his family, his friends, his role models.

Part of the issue is that the consequences of Trump haven't come home to roost yet, look at stock market growth and fall from 1995 to now.. we're due a massive crash and Trump is only fuelling it with his dumb tax cuts and screwing around with global trade.

Add to that all the damage he's doing internally by fucking around with constitutional issues and externally by pissing everyone off except, as I remember it, Israel and Hungary I think.
