As Republicans are in the process of learning, the hard way, elections, without having any programs to improve the quality of their constituents’ lives, are all about character. The result is, without substantive government they can brag about, they have nothing to sell. Nothing except who they are.

Without a doubt, there are a good number of Republicans in Congress who have long been dreaming of the day when Donald J. Trump would go away. That day has come as a result of President Trump having threatened the people of Iran with annihilation. According to international law, just the threat of annihilation is illegal. More importantly, according to common sense and all manner of normal and reasonable considerations, it was a stupendously ridiculous and dangerous thing to do.

From the famous “Peanuts” cartoon series by Charles Schulz.
A week or so ago, on the verge of a bipartisan agreement that would fund the TSA, Coast Guard and everyone in the Department of Homeland Security except ICE – leaving problems with the latter to be worked out later – Trump shut it all down. He tells his Republicans that under no circumstances are they to make a deal with the Democrats. And like the lemmings they are, his Republicans throw themselves over the nearest cliff, politically speaking, to do his bidding.

As President Trump is beginning to realize – despite his limited intelligence and reasoning distorted by the malignant narcissism by which he is afflicted – voters don’t care about rates of inflation. What they care about is prices. That the rate of inflation for a given item might be zero is inconsequential if the price of that item is so high as to make it unbearably expensive.

Is Congress or, more specifically, are Republicans in the House and Senate going to let President Trump continue to conduct what are effectively acts of war against Venezuela without Congressional pre-approval?!

I think the eight Democrats who voted with their Republican counterparts in the Senate to reopen the government – with the promise of a vote on medical insurance pricing, funding for SNAP and compensation for federal workers – did the right thing.

The Republicans aren’t even willing to talk.
Will somebody please suggest to the Democratic leadership in Congress that they hold – and widely publicize! – open, televised meetings to discuss a compromise with their Republican counterparts. If the Republicans refuse to come, the Democrats can hold the meeting(s) without them and let the failure of Republicans to attend be the headline of the day.
Democrats should be well-prepared with charts and videos to make their arguments.
