11. You are right. The issue is REPUBLICANS in Congress

I saw Tim Kaine talking about the budget as if it were business as usual. This is the kind of bullshit from Democrats that has the public so angry with us. He was talking like "$1.5 trillion wouldn't be prudent. We'll probably have to trim that to $1.4 trillion" Those aren't his exact words, but you get the point. We have literally a madman in charge now. He is firing our best Generals, firing cabinet Secretaries who won't commit enough crimes for him. He's stealing taxpayer money directly and indirectly by manipulating the markets while his posse places hundreds of millions of dollars in trades. And this Kaine guy can only say "We'll have to take a look at it"?

Why are we in Iran at all? Where is the urgency? Democrats should be spending every waking hour demanding that Republicans fix their problem and refuse to cooperate on ANY legislation or appointments until they do. If the Republicans have the votes to keep Trump alive, well, at least make them own it.
