Not doing their job was their job. Not opposing Trump was helping Trump. The safest way to sabotage something is to not help when you can.

Shocking that the people saying the government doesn't work didn't do any work when they became the government. Who could have seen that coming? They're just executing their plan to "starve the beast". By reducing its funding until it's so ineffective that they can claim it doesn't work then privatize and make money from the services all while providing a worse service.

If the Republicans get stomped in the midterms they'll get productive on fucking things up in the time they have left before the changeover.

The opposite of progress is congress

That is because congress have ceded to The Führer. He now rules by decree.

It’s a feature— not a glitch.

Its a good thing this time, the Republicans have all 3 branches of government and have only managed to appoint dangerously unqualified people and steal billions of dollars to hurt and kill people.

Not so!

The republican congressmen told more lies, sucked more trump butthole, committed insider trading felony after insider trading felony, and fleeced America for more tax dollars THAN EVER BEFORE IN ALL OF AMERICAN HISTORY.

That's probably not your definition of "productive" though, is it?

There’s always a parliamentarian or a “blue slip rule” to help the Democrats steal defeat out of the jaws of victory

Given that "productive" in this case means stripping away freedoms and paving the way for an autocracy run by the worst people in the world for a rich oligarchy; along with the usual and more bipartisan production efforts of harvesting borrowed money from the federal government for their pals; this is the best case scenario.

The last thing we want is for these traitors to be productive.

I do wonder though, congress' approval rating has been even lower than the presidents' for at least a decade now, I wonder if prez finally is less popular than even them. Let me check...

Not even close: 'Presidential approval: 38%: Congressional approval: 24%: Direction of country: 30%: Generic congressional vote: +8 Democrats.' From Ballotpedia on the search page.

The Democrats plan is consistent:

?????

Profit.

It's probably because BOTHSIDES, amirite?
