I don't want civility. I want them to return the favor, and then some.

0 votes on ANY federal judicial positions, 0 votes for any supreme court justice, full investigations into every single person in the White House.

Make the republicans wish they weren't so freaking mean in the first place. Allow them nothing.

We need to dish out what the repubs do to us. I am becoming a nasty woman, and I'm from the Minnesota nice background!

Their only perspective is that the Dems feel like they have political leverage so they are trying to use it. But the reality is that isn't purely politics. DACA expires in March. Those people need a little time to figure out the rest of their lives. We need to get DACA resolved NOW. These are real people who are facing the prospect of being deported to a country in which they have no place to lives or make a living.

That 45 created a false crisis! The Repubs keep going to the notion that Pres. Obama issued an illegal EO with DACA. 45 could’ve left the policy alone and demanded congress actually address immigration properly, instead of the shit his trying to pull now and blame the Dems over it.

tRump or the rethugs will do something absolutely morally reprehensible, or screw up something so badly, like make a blatantly racist statement and then CNN or PBS will start speculating on how the dems can “use this to political advantage”, or frame it in some other way that is purely political.

I find myself yelling in the car, or at the tv “Maybe they are apposing this because it the morally correct thing for anyone with basic human decency up do!!”

They always frame it as if the Dems are just playing politics.

roll over them in 2018 and then run the show. My only worry is that it will take decades to clean up Trump's, McConnell's and Ryan's shit. They have been utterly destructive of the American way of life.

They realize that they are dinosaurs, that time is running out for them, and they can no longer win an election fair and square.
