Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D., N.J.) expressed frustration with her Democratic colleagues at a recent town hall, admitting they block legislation because they "don't want to give the president a win." Speaking at a Livingston, New Jersey, town hall on Thursday, Sherrill revealed the "shockingly different mindset" of congressional Democrats who prioritize resisting President Donald Trump over passing legislation that could help their constituents.

They need to return their salaries for the last 3 years.

The rats would rather rule a miserable nation in decline than be bystanders in a prosperous republic.

I have suspected this to be the truth for some time. TDS is a major affliction.

Politics at its worst . . . effectively putting their political power above the well-being of the nation and the citizens.

I saw a commercial on the price of prescription drugs by AARP. Even they’re saying Trump is the only one who’s doing anything about this issue, and they’re calling on Congress to get off their behinds and support Trump in getting good legislation passed. AARP has never been in Trump’s camp. In fact, they’ve opposed him. Until now. What does that say about how bad Congress has gotten?

My RAT Rep is more apt to try to take credit for things Trump has done, such as USMCA. I tell her to keep renting because her time in DC is coming to a close.

Well, I have a quick answer for Rep. Sherrill.

If you don’t like what your party is doing, note the example of your former RAT colleague Jeff Van Drew.

Sherrill is a veteran — a helicopter pilot no less — so she should know better. She doesn’t come across as a loon.

I was really impressed with the warm reception DJT and the congressional GOP leaders gave to Rep. Van Drew. I’m sure something similar could be done for others.

We no longer have Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill. We have the Sane Party and the Lunatic Party.

And it’s for this reason that I can understand why the GOP sometimes comes off as spineless. What did you do when last confronted with verbal abuse by an obviously deranged person? Most of us try to disengage as quietly as possible — knowing that a forceful counterattack, even if justifiable, would just make things worse.

Our laws against murder and assault are some of the best assets the left has. They can get away with saying almost anything that in a sane world would merit a punch in the nose, if not a kick in the groin.
