A trifecta majority means you have no excuses. What makes anyone think Washington politics ever wants a hint of responsibility in governing?

Most Dems are essentially Marxist ideologues, so they pass stuff. Most Reps are not ideologues and so have no genuine core agenda they work tirelessly to pass day in and day out, year in and year out.

But the #1 overriding goal of all congress critters of both parties is to make money for themselves, their families and supporters, and to keep getting reelected. That really is the be-all and end-all of being a member of congress. They make more money and get more perks being in the majority, which is why they fight for it. But to actually do anything worthwhile with it? Nah.
