CONGRESS! The "Good Ole Boys Club"?

[Dee]

Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Independent? Old Guard?
Swamp Creatures?
They fight in public as part of the show, but hugs and champagne when the curtain is pulled.

Pretty much all the same, aren't they?

Yes they are. they tell voters what they want to hear then once elected govern like socialist democrats.  Its why so many of them didn't back Trump, and actually hated him. Trump wasn't part of the corrupt good ole boy club.   

[oldandslow]

You won't get an argument from me. All they are there for is power which equates into how much money they can stuff into their pockets from special interests and foreign governments and the retirement which is not small potatoes and to hell with the nation and it's citizens. I'll say it again. Nothing on God's green earth is lower than a politician and especially one on the national level. I won't insult swamp creatures, snakes, weasels, slime balls, etc. by comparing politicians to them. Cow patties and horse apples are more honorable than a congressman/woman.

Over 95% of the Republicans voted AGAINST impeachment.  So, no they are not all the same.

So. What do we do other than bitch about it?

[Doublebass73]

Whenever Republicans control everything they run up just as much debt as Democrats. They controlled the house and senate for Trump's first two years and the accomplished zero. Worthless trash.

[Mule 11]

Guess we need to start over. How does that happen? Don’t put your balls on the line. No one else does...

They found themselves a nest egg. At our experience.

Well, 3 conservative supreme court justices is zero?  Well, I guess it's just easier to b*tch.

Those 3 Supreme court justices were Trump picks casull. Trump did the heavy lifting,  and caught all the heat.
Tell us what a Republican controlled house and Senate did, with a Republican president Trump. Give us a list of their accomplishments.
If it weren't for Republicans like Cruz, Jordan, and several others, they as elected officials are worthless. They've gave in and layed down when they should have been fighting with Trump.
This election was stolen and everyone in the country knows it, and every Republican member of Congress should have been raising hell about it.
But only a few were. The rest, from the top down, sat on their asses.

You mean the 3 "conservative" supreme court justices who refused to hear any voter fraud cases or 2A cases? With friends like them who needs enemies. Like I said, worthless trash.

Well, bitchin' and belly aching ain't going to do anything and we don't have the votes  to change anything so whatca' going to do?

[wtxbadger]

All you have to do to confirm the good ol' boy's club of the political class is watch W's big ol grin congratulating Biden.

You do realize that 3 justices can NOT, by themselves, take a case, don't you?  Besides, one of those justices was just sworn in a couple of months ago.  How about we give them a little bit of time before we make any great pronouncements about them.  BTW, are you saying that Trump picked worthless trash for the most important positions he filled?  I give him more credit than that.

Well, for one, the Republicans in the Senate DID approve Trump's supreme court picks (and a couple of them caught hell for it).  For another, I'm pretty sure it was NOT the democrats that passed Trump's tax cuts.  I know, you're mad.  So am I.  What to do next?  I don't know.  But hyperbole and b*tching won't help.

Much of what Trump accomplished was done with executive orders. I find it surprising that you would defend a Republican congress notoriously famous for its do nothing flatulateing, given your personal history of conservative views.

Am I mad? Shouldn't I be? Aren't you?

Is protesting and complaining about a cowardly Republican Congress "just bitchin"?

Your mad to. You don't have any suggestions, but you choose to defend a failed Republican Congress.
What do you suggest. Silence? How about "fuming"? Or better still, just be quiet and go with the flow?

I'm max attention on your criticism.

How about your "solutions"?

They hated Pres. Trump as much as the Democrats and Trump was to naive to know it and was played for the fool for a long time.

[Casull]

Yes, much of what Trump accomplished was through executive orders.  I acknowledge this.  But, I also acknowledge that some things were with the help of Republicans.  Remember, the first SCOTUS seat Trump filled would not have been possible without McConnell keeping it open for him.  And, I'm not defending a failed Republican congress, but I am acknowledging that not all of them are worthless.  About half of them were willing to put their names on the line by voting their objections to the electoral votes.  However, is it cowardly or just sensible to admit defeat when the battle is clearly lost?  After all, "he who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day".

[Casull]

As far as solutions, Dee, I'm honest enough to admit I don't have any right now.  I'll keep thinking on it though.

Neither do I, and neither does the Republican party pussys. But I don't see discussion about the mess we've been handed as "just bitchin".

Trump picked a lot of worthless trash. Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions and John Bolton right off the top of my head. SCOTUS is no different. The other 2 were picked a lot longer than a couple of months ago and they've done nothing. We have 5 so called "conservatives" on the supreme court and we can't get a hearing on voter fraud or the clearly unconstitutional actions of certain states in the elections? We've had dozens of clearly unconstitutional 2A cases come before them and they refused every single one of them. How many more years of this do you need to realize they are worthless trash?

Bitchin? Really?

You do realize that TWO CONSERVATIVE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES, by the names Alito, and Thomas wanted to hear the most important case of YOURS, SND MINE LIFETIME, and these 3 so called conservative Trump appointees voted with Justice Roberts and the other liberal justices, AND AGAINST ALITO AND THOMAS?

YOU DO REALIZE THAT?

You do realize that had they voted with Alito, and Thomas, to hear the most important case in YOURS, and MINE LIFETIME, that they would have held the MAJORITY VOTE?

And do you realize that Trump appointing "THREE MORE CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES" was THE POINT?

SO! I guess I must confess to "bitchin".

"Bitchin" about THREE FAILED "ALLEGEDLY CONSERVATIVE" JUSTICES who will go down in the history books of allowing the Democrats to openly steal the most important election of YOURS AND MINE LIFETIME.

So while your lecturing, or criticizing us for "bitchin".
What's is your excuse for defending them?

[Mule 11]

What got me was the excuse for not taking the case. It does not effect others how a state runs its elections. Really? What a line of crap...

Thats exactly right, there were unconstitutional actions by other states. Pa being one of them, and the spineless SCOTUS did nothing except turn their back on the issue. I actually think they were afraid of Antifa showing up at their homes if they did do something about it. After their show of cowardliness I have no faith that this SCOTUS will ever stand firm for any real constitutional issues. 
I don't care if they were all picked and sworn in the day before their decision. Its their duty to interpret the constitution and rule on any injustices against it. they clearly didn't do that in the Texas case. 

[DDZ]

Over 95% of the Republicans voted AGAINST impeachment.  So, no they are not all the same.

For one there was absolutely no bases for impeaching Trump, so the 95% had no choice .   Also they did not vote for impeachment, because it was no benefit for them to do so.  They just do what they think will get them re-elected.
I just have to wonder where this 95% were in voicing their outrage against the mountain of election fraud?  . As someone else said, I do believe the majority of them were just happy that Biden stole the election and was given the presidency.
