One discourse I really enjoy is when Republicans do something crazy and Very Sober conservative pundits write takes about how it’s the Dems fault for not stopping them.

Posted a train set on OfferUp this weekend. Dude comes to buy it same day. Starts chatting me up. We go from talking trains to “I don’t know what your politics are but I’m really worried about what the democrats in congress are doing to this country right now.” Delusion runs deep
How much of "Dems work with GOP in this case" type of stuff can also reaffirm to some this idea that when GOP has control, they can find ways to reach across the aisle for work while the Dems (because of obstinate refusal of GOP) just aren't able to and that is Dems fault?
Every damn time. must be nice having zero accountability for your party's own actions, and expecting democrats to save the guy who tried overturn the election.
He's the worst! He spent all of 2015/16 adamantly ensuring his audience that the base really was not with Trump...he's not a dumb person just very self delusional
The Democrats are always expected to “be the bigger person” through compromise and reaching across the aisle. Let’s stop that right now. The Republicans don’t want to govern, they want to make statements by breaking things. I say Dems should stop propping up the Republican party. Let them fail.
this is the part of this I've never understood. he was HORRENDOUSLY unqualified and of demonstrably poor character?? theoretically even Republicans agreed Nixon was bad at that point??
So, the generally agreed upon history is that Bork was also going to quit, but Eliot Richardson told him to stay because there needed to be one senior person left. Bork also was the one who told the media a couple days later that he'd appoint a new prosecutor, which pissed Nixon off.
Now, Bork was a certifiable weirdo in many ways, but he wasn't unqualified the way these Trump appointees have all been. His issues were a weird ideological bent that brought him to conclusions akin to Alito or Thomas.
