Comment on Schumer to Slow Trump Justice Dept. Nominees Over Qatari Jet

Gumming up the Senate is about the limit of what the Democrats have the votes to do. If we wanted them to have real power, we needed to vote more of them into Congress

People will say “But the Democrats are bad, too!” and they aren’t wrong. At least they were “Lawful Evil.” You can deal with that.

This administration is chaotic evil.

  This is very context-dependent, but in most cases those are trolls, rubes, and idiots.

    I don’t want this to be true, because people I love say that, but it is.

Yeah, except I remember when Lil bitch McConnell refused to allow ANY Obama appointees through the process. Democrats should have been doing the same thing already, but they’re just now slowing things down

  They did do things to gum up the Senate, which is exactly the kind of thing you’re describing. Schumer is saying he’s going to. And I appreciate that, even if he didn’t do it before.
