We Must Take Congress Back (Or The Country's Done For)

By Sniffles

Democrats: Do you need some inspiration to go out and knock on doors in Election 2018? Here you go.

"A year ago, Republicans met the incoming Trump administration with a combination of giddy anticipation and deep misgivings.

"The anticipated gains have been largely, if not completely met. But the worst of their fears have also been confirmed. The President is unbalanced, apparently in a state of mental decline, congenitally undemocratic, and quite obviously guilty of a wide array of misdeeds. The party's response to these facts is to commit itself fully to obstruction and perversion of justice.

"Christopher Ruddy, the conservative publisher and Trump buddy, casually boasts that the defenestration of Bannon proves, 'The base is owned and operated by Donald Trump.' Likewise, the Congressional party is owned and operated by its base. Bannon's exit has paved the way for the full subordination of the legislative branch by its mad king."
