    Republicans have the Presidency and both houses of Congress. That baby is far more reflective of the way GOPers are behaving when hey constantly blame the minority party for their own failures. Incompetent President screws up again - blame the Dems; can't get enough Republican votes to pass legislation - blame the Dems; President's son tries to get info from the Russians - quick! blame the Dems for something.

    The truth is that you have elected an infantile narcissist as President. A man who is more interested in tweeting than doing the hard work required to get legislation passed by Congress. he wants the title, not the job. His own party is starting to abandon him, as the vote this week on sanctions will illustrate.

    Blame the Dems all you want, but the worst thing they have done is leave your party no excuses for its own disfunctionality. That won't stop you trying to distract, of course. To do otherwise would require the taking of responsibility, something conservatives are pathologically unable to do.

    WOW! Talk about obstruction of justice. From your link.

    Mr. Trump said Mr. Mueller was running an office rife with conflicts of interest and warned that investigators would cross a red line if they delve into Trump family finances unrelated to Russia. Mr. Trump never said he would order the Justice Department to fire Mr. Mueller, nor would he outline circumstances under which he might do so. But he left open the possibility as he expressed deep grievance over an investigation that has taken a political toll in the six months since he took office.

    Really!? Not even going to go thru it all but if you tell people you are resisting chances are you're doing it. Where's all the nominees getting put into place? What's with the continuing Russia Russia Russia chant which has generated zilch to date? How about a Special Counsel hiring nothing but Dems and HRC people do the investigation? Exactly what crimes have been alleged within reason that needs a special counsel anyway?

    Sick of the nonsense.

    He did just not in public. Sanctions were one.

    I agree that he should have come out before the election and told the American people that Trump was under FBI investigation for colluding with the Russians, who were hacking our election with the express intent to get Trump to win.

    Things may have turned out different.

    Trump wasn't under investigation so he didn't screw around and make a false announcement. That's a positive for BHO. Good for him.

    His campaign was under investigation,not him personally.
    I doubt things would have turned out different if the investigation was announced as the right would have repeated DJT's "The election is rigged".

    Please tell me how anyone on the left could even ISSUE a decree let alone dissolve the Congress.

    We don't have the Presidency, so we flat out CAN"T issue decrees, and we certainly don't have the military that would be necessary arrest all the Congressmen

    I'm really at a loss here as to how you could say this and then expect anyone to view anything you say as anything more than just generalized right wing blather, totally meaningless from the get-go.

    Your post is nonsense. I can barely understand what you're saying. Nominees aren't being blocked by the Democrats. They have no control in congress, only filibuster and that has been almost entirely removed from the table.

    The special counsel has nonpartisan members and members of both parties, but you are too busy listening to Rush Limbaugh to realize that.

    There is no obstruction, other than the incompetency of the president and his administration. They are too crappy at their jobs to get anything done, so they are blaming the Democrats.

    You're blind. You're so far down the rabbit hole you don't even see the real world as it is. Keep on harping. You're lost in the wilderness and you'll never find your way back.

    Stop blathering about a bloodless coup by Trump. This conspiracy is in YOUR head not 99+% of the rest of us on either side including the independents.

    Cute attempt at an argument. How about some facts or information to back up your hyperbole?

    It's not an argument. It's a judgment. You're clueless based on your left agenda. The majority of the US and now the world has grown tired of progressivism so it's not just me. Wake up!!

    Sure buddy. That's why Trump received less votes than Clinton. That's why the president and the congress have dismal approval ratings. You need to do some serious work on opening your mind to ideas outside of your narrow little world.

    Sure thing Chief. Look at a map of the election and notice the sea of red. There was a reason the founders used an electoral college so the centers of NY, Phil and Boston wouldn't rule the roost but spread the power over the entire country.

    YOU LOST! These posts of we won the popular vote mean nothing. HRC is not the POTUS. Thank God. There is a reason for that.....you just need to open your mind.

    You can't keep your BS straight. You keep bouncing from topic to topic because you don't actually have a way to defend your ideas. That's how little children argue.

    The electoral map has a lot of empty space. I am talking about people. More people voted for Clinton. I don't care how many square miles Trump won.

    I know Clinton lost, I am over it. She ran a terrible campaign and was a mediocre candidate, honestly.

    It must be frustrating to see how impotent and incompetent Trump and his administration are though. Can't even repeal Obamacare...

    Just because you can't follow me doesn't make it my responsibility. And I'm fine with Trump by and large. He'll never be a fav of mine but he's growing on me. TBH, he might be what this country needs even as unorthodox as he is. We need some shaking and baking. I suggest you look past his unique, as a POTUS, personality and see what he brings. A tree is known for its fruit.

    The majority of the US is not tired of Progressivism. As a matter of fact, on many issues, the reverse is true. Polls show that majorities of Americans support a Single-Payer Federal Health Plan. They also show that majorities in 49 of the 50 states supported Climate Change theories, and the effect of mankind's activities on the climate.

    Right. That's why the majority of governors, state congresses, the Congress and the POTUS is/are republican. It's a general repudiation of most but not all of progressive policies. Don't just cherry pick a few things that perhaps we even agree on.

    Fans are fickle though so we'll see.

    No doubt, the Democrats took a huge hit this last election, at both the Federal and State levels. But it's not because of issues. I attribute this to the payoff of heavy investments by the 1%ers. Groups like Judicial Watch, which has a $35 million dollar annual budget, primarily financed by 1%ers, have done real damage. They have over 50 full-time lawyers and investigators, and filed over 300 defamation lawsuits against Obama. And of course FOX and Breitbart, the 1%er News Networks, are quick to cover every story. Same story with the Heritage Foundation, the Heartland Institute, and many other 1%er Organizations. They're laughing all the way to the bank.

    All three investigations going on regarding Russian meddling into our elections were initiated by GOP House, Senate and Trump's own DOJ. So, in essence, your suggestion that the Democratic Party is harassing Trump is a crock of ****.

    Couldn't possibly be because the message sucks. That's assuming there is a message now instead of just a coalition.

    Which message are we talking about? Do you support the JW lawsuits, and the waste of governmental resources to process them? Republicans think they are supporting smaller government, but the 1%ers don't care about smaller government. They want government that favors them, big or small.

    I don't buy that. I support the ability of the people to have access to what their government is doing outside something clearly affected by national security interests. They shouldn't have to sue.

    If you continue to ignore the people your party will continue to lose.

    The biggest problem I see from the Democratic party is their inability to be flexible with different people with different ideals throughout the country. You have begun to hear some Democratic leaders say so and that they need to adapt their strategies to liberal populists, which is becoming more and more popular.

    The Progressive mantra that has been preached for the last two decades simply isn't working for everybody, it is too rigid and when people disagree, the most common argument/statement is exactly what you just said

    "But it's not because of issues. I attribute this to the payoff of heavy investments by the 1%ers....."

    This is incredibly naive and will lose you guys more and more elections. As someone who is terrified of a one party system, I hope you guys can get it together. Sure the President is the most improtant office, but you guys have lost hundreds of seats over the last couple years and from what I have seen there appears to be zero effort into changing this. Meanwhile the Democrats continue to lose even more money in the cash department (donations)

    If you guys miss on this Trump/Russia stuff you guys are in serious trouble.
