    Yeah, you guys made a lot of mistakes. How about you take your thumbs out of your asses, say fuck it to partisanship, and vote your fucking conscious instead of just rubber stamping what your cheeto tells you to do.

    If you all stand up to the guy all his power is gone. He only has power over your party because you all give it to him. The nation is only dysfunctional because you just carte blanch vote down anything that isn’t created and edited by your party even if it’s the best thing for your constituents.
