I am curious, especially directly before the mid-terms, and after a hard fought battle on Kavanaugh, what TBDers think of congress.

 

I don't want to skew the poll, but personally I see a clown show on all sides (wish there were more than 2).

 

So, if 'pro' is the opposite of 'con', then what's the opposite 'pro'gress?

This pool is too generic IMO.  I would rather vote neutral on the Republican leadership because they initially mishandled the Kavanaugh hearings IMO.  Only reason I voted approve is because they got him approved.

 

I didn't want to dilute the pool with our small sample size.

 

So I forced a binary decision. For example, I wanted Kav confirmed, but do not approve in general, so I chose no across the board. I think everyone mishandled the Kav situation.

 

The current 14ish% approval (though just 7 voters so far) on here is pretty much in line with national ratings, if not a little generous to congress.

When the Republicans hold the House, Senate, and White House they spend like Democrats.  When Democrats are out of power they throw tantrums

 

I do give Senate Republicans some credit for confirming a large number of Constitutionalist judges to the Federal Judiciary

If those judges repeal the 3rd, 17th and 19th amendments I'll be happy as hell with the GOP

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Show

 

The Man Show was an American comedy television show on Comedy Central that aired from 1999 to 2004. It was created in 1999 by its two original co-hosts, Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel and their executive producer Daniel Kellison.

The Man Show simultaneously celebrated and lampooned the stereotypical loutish male perspective in a sexually charged, humorous light. The show consisted of a variety of pre-recorded comedy sketches and live in-studio events, usually requiring audience participation.

The Man Show is particularly well known for its buxom female models, the Juggy Dance Squad, who would dance in themed, revealing costumes at the opening of every show, and in the aisles of the audience just before The Man Show went to commercial break and end the shows with the "Girls on Trampolines" segment.

The first year of The Man Show featured beer-guzzling entertainer Bill 'The Fox' Foster as the show's emcee. Foster specialized in chugging two beers in record time (sometimes while suspended upside down) and singing lewd drinking songs. He would close every episode by leading the audience in the German drinking toast Zicke, Zacke, Zicke, Zacke, Hoi, Hoi, Hoi!, a tradition that continued after his death from prostate cancer in 2000.[2][3]

Yeah they bait us into spending so much time fighting between Democrat and Republican, Black or White, etc...

 

When the real struggle is the people versus the ruling class in Washington. ALL of them.

About a dozen hot & hunky Marines staying with you.

We'll if that happens, it would be without my permission which would be a violation of the 3rd anyway.  I guess it would be the same thing.  Doesn't the 3rd state permission is required from the owner?

 

Read it again...last sentence.  Carry on

Can anybody make a cogent argument in support of the Democrat Party's Federal agenda for our nation?  Come to think of it, does anyone even know their true agenda? 

 

*Raise taxes

*Reimpliment regulations 

*Eliminate the Senate

*Eliminate the Electoral College

*Add three more justices to SCOTUS who must always be filled by liberal judges

*eliminte borders 

*Start a war with DPRK and Russia

This would be funny if it weren't close to the truth.

...

-Single payer healthcare

-Universal housing

-Eliminate individual rights under the 2nd amendment

-Shut down manufacturing

 

My best question for hardcore lefties is this: When was the last time you think the Gov't did something well? And since the answer most commonly given is never, then why the hell would you want them to take over your healthcare, housing, and paycheck?

 

The funny thing is that Trump has everyone so hot and bothered that the Dems let the cat out of the bag... They hate America and want to change it to socialism.

A little advice----don't ever discuss strokes with Boyst. His strokes aren't like asking for them on the golf course.

 

That reminds me, have you finished your trauma counseling after the one time you met Boyst for a 'stroke play' tournament?

The counselor pulled out the Bert and Ernie dolls and said, "Show me what Boyst did to you."

Didn't need any counseling. I whispered "shank" in his ear and he started performing like "Tin Cup" on the practice range. After that it was just a Scramble.

They do great at handing out measly little checks and blocks of cheese paying off voters.
