THE REPUBLICANS TRIED TO BURY US…WITH THE HELP OF THE DEMOCRATS THEY MAY SUCCEED.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, the only difference between the Republicans and the Democrats is Republicans wear Brown suits while Democrats sport Navy Blue suits. Both parties are corrupt and care little for the American electorate. Their sole purpose in life seems to be to get re-elected. The Republicans seem to be corrupt on purpose, while their brethren across the aisle achieve their corruption through sheer stupidity.

Since Joseph Robinette Biden took office in January most of his agenda has been slowed to a near stop due to the refusal by Senators Krysten Sinema and Joe Manchin to vote with their fellow Democrats; be it on Climate legislation, Infrastructure, Elimination of the filibuster, or Biden’s desire to boost the middle class by trying to partially reform the tax system; getting the wealthy to pay their fair share.

Then too there are the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman, and Cori Bush; collectively known as “the squad.” As Manchin and Sinema refuse to side with the rest of the Senate Democrats to pass sorely needed legislation, the squad are determined to refuse the give and take required in politics to create compromise with their opposite numbers on the Republican side. They would apparently rather be “true” to themselves and fail than to look for compromise solutions which would help their American constituents. Their lack of good sense will probably cost us the House because they are getting nothing done.

As if things aren’t bad enough the Senate Majority leader has decided in his infinite wisdom to slip the  Democrats and the nation a “political Mickey.” Chuck Schummer has just rewarded the traitorous actions of Coal Baron, Climate Denier Manchin by making him the head of the Senate Energy Committe. Manchin has received millions of dollars from big coal and oil, as well as from the Republicans. He is now in a position to secure his retirement nest-egg by giving away the store.

I recommend calling Senator Schummer’s office at (202) 224-6542, or writing to him at 322 Hart Senate Office Building, Washington D.C. 20510, and voicing displeasure at Schummer’s rewarding Manchin with this choice assignment.

 After four years of the Grifter in Chief robbing the nation blind, and giving what he couldn’t steal to his billionaire friends I was certain it could get no worse. I didn’t take into account that apparently in D.C, Democrat is just a different way of spelling Republican.
