Quote of the Day -- On Republicans and What's Wrong With America

From Missouri's own St. Louis Post-Dispatch, in a letter to the editor:

Republicans pick ideology over sensible economics 

“As Thomas E. Mann and Norman Ornstein in their terrific book It's Even Worse Than It Looks have said:

‘Let’s just say it. The Republicans Are the Problem. The Republican Party has become an insurgent outlier-ideologically extreme; contemptuous of the inherited social and economic policy regime; scornful of compromise; unpersuaded by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.'"

Screw you, America

What the Republicans did yesterday:

$478B Infrastructure Bill Blocked by Senate GOP

Americans need jobs.

America and Americans need improved, updated infrastructure.

The American economy needs a boost.

You think the Senate Republicans would have any of that?

Oh, hell no.

Republicans don't want you to have better infrastructure, more jobs or any such economic boost.

At least, they don't want you to have any such thing while this president is in the White House or likely, until one of their own is there.

Screw you. It's political party first.  You have to wait, America

Quote of the day

Worst. Ever.

Worst.

President.

Ever.

Let's be clear on this and let's say it again and again so we all remember our lessons:

George Walker Bush was, by far, outstripping all other Presidents in the history of the United States of America, the absolute worst President this country ever lived through.

The former "worsts" now pale compared to this buffoon.

Wareen Harding was incompetent and there was graft in his administration but not even he could touch the lows of this "leader".

President Harding didn't attack another sovereign nation, defying international law and opinion.

President Harding didn't spend every dollar he could get his official hands on like this clown, and put us into massive, historical deficits, thus bankrupting the country.

No other President put so many people, from the very industries they came from, into positions meant to oversee those same industries.

No other President in the history of this country set his very administration against the very people of the country, the way George Walker Bush did.

The thing is, when Ronald Reagan became President, I wasn't sure we'd live through his tenure, even for four years, let alone all eight.

Not with all that demagoguery and ideology.

But we did.

We lived through it and it turned out he realized some of the things he originally wanted weren't good for the country so he changed his opinions and the course for himself and the country.

And Bill Clinton came in and cleaned up his messes. And pretty well, too.

So we lived through that and we've come out at the end of the George W. Bush administration, too, albeit bedraggled, beaten, abused (literally, physically and constitutionally, as it turns out), in horrific debt, with a sullied American name, but we made it.

And now we have to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and clean up this mess.
