All I can do is agree with everything you say. The pubbies kinda screwed the pooch when they had all the power.
The “pubies” never had all the power. They never had a “super majority” and without that you have to thrash things out with the other side. That’s the problem the Democrats are facing right now ~ their Leftwingtards think they have the power and are pushing all kinds of nonsense ~ but they don’t have a supermajority, and they’re not going to get one.
