NBC News ^ | Dec. 7, 2019 | Phil McCausland

Rep. Denny Heck, D-Wash., said one of the reasons for his announced retirement from the House of Representatives is that a growing number of Republicans and Democrats in Congress "simply don't believe in compromise, don't believe even in principled compromises" anymore.

In an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press with Chuck Todd" to be broadcast Sunday, the four-term representative of a district that includes the Washington state capital, Olympia, also said he will "go to my grave not understanding how some of my colleagues could simply turn the other way and overlook the president's behavior and his misdeeds."

"My soul is weary," he said of why he is retiring at the end of this term.

To a DemocRat compromise means that Republicans give them what they want.

We've watched fanatical Democrat Federal judge-presidents run the country for three years, Denny my boy.

We're tired of it.

He was on Schiff’s impeachment committee. A loathsome oaf. I had to chuckle when he nearly cried during one of his beltway theater performances.

We need a lot more Democrats to follow suit, to counter the number of Republicans.

In my 68 years “compromise” has always been Republican capitulation to Democrat demands. I’ve never seen a compromise that benefited Pubbies as much as the Rats.

What this leftist buffoon is saying is that he is weary of a few Republicans like the president not bowing to Democrat demands. IOW, it’s not so fun when you don’t automatically win all the time - even with the help of the press. It just ain’t fair, ya know?

In politics, compromise is merely a public spectacle where both sides accept each others corruption.

Well, OK, I’ll compromise. No more sticking the heads of my enemies on spikes. I’ll settle for drinking wine from their skulls.
