Interesting what the Republicans can do, despite being the “minority” party.

The Democrats always want to play nice thinking that they are in fact dealing with “honorable colleagues.” They are neither. Bullies and traitors to the Constitution and the American “people” yes. How does one treat traitors and bullies? With a stern hand, scorn, derision, exposure and sarcasm. Eventually the vermin will crawl back into the holes from which they emerged.

You’d sorta think that by the time someone becomes a committee chair in Congress they’d know the basics of rules of order and how to enforce them firmly and fairly. It’s stuff like this that makes a mockery of all the work everyone did to get the GOP out of the majority.

Let’s hope there are a lot fewer of them next year.
Let’s also hope that we get a Speaker and a Majority Leader who can actually do the jobs they’re supposed to be doing.
Let’s also hope the Ds in Congress finally figure out that the majority of the people in this country are not Republicans.

The problem with the Democrats in congress is that they think they are dealing with honest Americans who support the constitution. When presented with this kind of infuriating partisan gamesmanship, they are never prepared. They should be able to quickly say, “This hearing is in order and we will now hear the witness’s opening statement. Instead, every wingnut Rethug is allowed to create a distraction, talk about their every whim, and otherwise waste time. I am a big believer is not wasting time. There is a big difference between giving everyone their time for questions and allowing the minority to hold this country hostage to their own fear of prosecution. They should all be in jail, and in a better world, they would be.

Our country will have a real fighting chance if we can get rid of Murdoch.
