Calling it a republican Congress is a little disingenuous since without a super majority in the Senate the Ds could and did block any bill they wanted. They would have needed 9 D votes in the senate to pass  the wall. The HoR did pass it. The Senate never brought the bill to the floor because they didn’t have the D votes needed. 

This is what i hate about government.  Put the bills up and make people vote.  Then as prez get on the media to make it a story about it not passing.  Nothing will ever get done when you dont hold feet to the fire

Except I’m not “the left” way to go blaming democrats again!

Kind of like how you assumed I was a republican? Pot meet kettle.

I don't know that "blame" is totally accurate. To me, "working as the founders intended" is more like it.

Now that I can agree with.

You only need 50 for budget reconciliation.  So the Republican congress had at least two opportunities to fund the wall.

Trump causing shit? By supporting the interim president that a bunch of other countries also did? Haven't been on twitter much today so not sure if I'm missing something

Lol, k. If you’re blaming Trump for backing a president the shit hole country wanted, not sure what else you’d want. It was a real question.

Not sure what this is but my first thought was...."fuck Venezuela".....

Shit was hitting the fan well before this.  Maduro is a piece of shit and I wish these people had guns.  Imagine that, a piece of shit dictator banned guns...

Where’s that progressive love for Venezuela ……….

Phone auto corrected out to put. She's trying to out retard. Is that better? Or do you think her joining in with Iran and China having a problem with who they are backing in Venezuela is smart?

She has had an awful start to her career as a representative. 

When will Ohio start voting in those types?

I'm not sure.  She's getting a ton of media exposure, which is 90% of the game.  And her supporters (how many of those are out there, I don't know) seem to respond to idiocy and trolling just like Trump's supporters do for him.

That article I linked the other day from Jezzebell or whatever, if you scanned the comments she was popular.  Now, that's not any more representative of liberals than InfoWars is of conservatives....point being there seems to be a lot of people enjoying being showered with her stupidity.

The more interesting question to me is whether she even survives 2020 elections.  I seem to hear from all sources that the power brokers in that party think she's too radical and not a team player.....which normally means money gets funneled to primary you.  And maybe she's not as dumb as she seems, and is actually leveraging her potential brief Congressional stint into big money at CNN or MSNBC.

Soooooo......"fight the good fight" and forge a political career like the largely irrelevant Bernie Sanders or Ron Paul, or make multiples of that "modest" salary for cable news.  Doesn't even seem like a choice.

Another trump guy arrested (Roger Stone). You gotta wonder when eventually that will be Trump..
