Just Heard Trump Saying The Dems Are Not Doing Anything But Chasing The.....

Mueller Report where there was no collusion - no obstruction.

When you hear the Dems talk - they talk about all the legislation that they've passed through the House - saying that they can do two things at once: pass legislation and investigate Trump.

We all know that anything the Dems have passed in the House is being held up by Mitch McConnell in the Senate - yet Trump keeps saying the Dems do nothing.

It's about time that the Dems put out a list of all the legislation that they've passed in the House that's being held up in the Senate. It's about time that the Dems put the blame where it belongs - on Mitch McConnell, the Repugs and the Senate.

The American People are being conned again by Trump and the Dems are letting him get away with it. The Dems need to keep the pressure on McConnell, the Repugs and Trump - where the real obstruction is being done.

Where can we get a list of all the legislation that the Dems forwarded on to the Senate? Is there a website or a list here on DU that has that info?

There needs to be some kind of protest against the media about not doing their FuLL job. I sent an e-mail to CNN Sciutto about his interview with R-Reed yesterday. He allowed Reed to continue to say that Dems are only chasing after Trump and nothing is getting done for the people. Never once did Sciutto mention the legislation dying in the Senate. If he did, I didn't hear it.

At least when we only had 3 networks it was from 5:00 - 6:00 and then you didn't have to hear it the rest of the day. These days, it's a 24/7 shit show.

The repuke Senate has passed almost nothing. All they've been doing is approving incompetent, racist, homophobic, corrupt judges nominated by Trump.

Call a press conference Nancy and show the idiot media the score card.

The turtle continues to obstruct and block all Democratic efforts. It is there mantra. We can fix that by holding the Democratic seats in the Senate and electing Democrats to replace Republicans in office. Time to clear and clean the swamp, is projecting back at them and their maniababy in chief.

You may find such a site that provides this data, if you do a search for it.

They can't tell the truth about him or all the newly informed, who are not part of his hate or theft crew, will turn from him & it will be a landslide or else so obvious that /Repugs/Russia/SA/Israel stole the race for him again through both sophisticated ads and heavy vote suppression and even vote stealing.
