    The two party system is NOT part of the "checks and balances" or our Constitution. In fact the notion of "parties" came much later after the Constitution was ratified. IMHO, America would be better served if there were more "parties" or no parties at all were good patriots wanting to serve their nation could run on equal footing.

    By working with other members of Congress and the Senate and the White House to :shock: serve :shock: America.

    Not throwing tantrum after tantrum, and holding their breath until America turns blue.

    Kinda like Congress used to do before Newt and TRAITOR tRump put "POWER" before Country.

    The size of the majority has nothing to do with the issues within the Republican Party. Nor does the opposition Party.(Democrats).

    The last shutdown (which cost the economy 11 billion) the Republican Party controlled the House, Senate, and the White House.

    The Party lacks any unifying principle to even perform the most basic tasks of governance. Its been this way for quite some time.

    The term "MAGA republican" was fed to people to rebleat for the purpose of demonizing those with opposing views. While you are certainly right to criticize Reps on their ability to govern, if you are a Dem, you are not pointing with clean hands.

    2 popular terms, "Getting stuff done" and "bipartisan" both translate to "expensive for those that work for a living"

    Remember when covid separated businesses into two categories, essential and nonessential? We need to shut down nonessential government.

    Make America Grate Again should be demonizing to anyone that is still supporting TRAITOR tRump. Which has a lot to do with why the retrumplicans can't govern; they're to busy doing his bidding and to blind with their head up his ass.
    NOT taking care of business is what's expensive, last time the government shut down because of Republican stubbornness it cost 11 billion dollars. That would pay for a lot of "getting stuff done" and "bipartisan" and, maybe even do some good.

    I will freely admit that there are some Republican fundamentalists who can’t seem to see that every government shutdown has bitten the party in the butt. Yes, we must curtail spending, but we won’t be able to do that until the Republicans are in control.

    If the Republicans ever do regain control, they had best deliver, or there should hell to pay from the rank and file.

    That is what you are meant to believe. The truth is that these people have different beliefs. Those that refuse to understand opposing beliefs are the ones who are blind and have their heads up their asses.

    The only reason this is an issue is because both parties spend our money like thieves with stolen credit cards. As long as the lemmings are at each others throats, they can continue to screw our unborn great great grandchildren out of their money.

    You are criticizing your own reflection.

    The reason this is an issue is because the LoneyQ Make America Grate Again Freedom Caucus is preoccupied with defending TRAITOR tRump and doing his bidding. And cratering the government and economy is "HIS" bidding.

    How "can only HE fix it", if it's not broken. :roll:

    And Republicans don't want "total control"?

    That is what 1/6 was all about. Upset that their guy lost a fair election the MAGA faithful (and the MAGA leaders) did everything they could to overturn that election.

    The pot and the kettle had a similar exchange. Politicians need blind followers demonizing those with opposing beliefs. This division benefits both parties and helps them sink their proboscises into the tax payer blood stream. What you and the dems are doing benefits trump and vice versa.

    I don't think that most Republicans are out to do away with the Democrats. I think that hard core Democrats are out to destroy the opposition. Unfortunately it goes with their radical left views and training. Look at how the DOJ, FBI and CIA are acting.

    I am looking at how the DOJ, FBI and CIA are acting and what I see are people doing their job.

    The indictments against Trump & Co. are the not the result of a corrupt DOJ/FBI but the result of a corrupt politician being charged for being...well...corrupt.

    The documents case in Florida where Trump is charged with violating 18 USC 793(e) is about as open and shut as it can get. He has no viable defense. If you think this is the result of the "weaponization" of the DOJ I would be more than willing to debate what that is not the case.

    I don't want the government to have total control, no matter who's running the government.

    There is no doubt that we need a government. The question then comes how much power does such a government need to do it's job.
    What aspects, right now, do you think show that government is reaching for "total control"?

    It has too much.

    Gun bans are the first step towards total control. They can't enforce their will against an armed populace.

    When you said without substantiation that the Democrats want total control....Just pointing out that the Republicans can't even come up with a proposal of their own.

    Really? If the government wanted total control what do you think your AK-47 is going to do against an M-1 Abrams tank or an F-15 jet? Hell, you think your "militia" of middle age guys really is going to go toe to toe with a squad of US Army soldiers or US Marines with fully automatic weapons?

    If you do then you're just fooling yourself.

    It makes perfect sense, the MAGrateA's want power, not they know what they'd do with it. But, they have no plan or agenda other than TRAITOR tRump, the big lie and "lefty" <- which they can't even define.

    You think the government would maintain public support by using tanks and aircraft against the citizenry? That lame as argument is as stupid as Swalwell saying the government can use nukes on the people.

    Ask the Taliban what soldiers with rifles can accomplish.
