I spent 20 years teaching my children that when they did something bad, the last thing I wanted to hear from them was somebody else's name.

So, among all the other things Republicans are, they are like disobedient incorrigible children!

Question: "Why are you undermining our nuclear deterrence talks with Iran?"

Answer: "But, but Nancy Pelosi did it!"

Sheeeeeee-it!

You're still going into timeout until you admit your responsibility, say you're sorry, make it right and promise you won't do it ever again!

Here's precedent. "George W. Bush smoked pot. He didn't get into trouble. Your Honor."

Making decrees that congress will nullify any international agreement WH makes with other nations to prevent nuclear Iran is GOOD.

GOP is one giant Bizarro World.

Well, I do get that democratic responses don't get into media. Everything gets a repuke spin.

The republicans will get to frame all responses to every matter always twisting facts to reflect badly on the democrats. They get the mic every time.

Briefly, I admit....I don't watch tv, but saw an article.
Mika denouncing the Traitors.....

I was glad, but then sure enough, the article goes on to focus on Blow's puke-styled response. And ended in that corner.

Subtle spin. The kind too many people don't recognize for what it is: indoctrination.

Let's see if the DEMs have spines this time. Tough speeches are ok, but these 47 need to be prosecuted and removed from office.

Logan Act specifies action without authority of the US. How can you argue Congress doesn't have authority?

When the Democrats did it, they were trying to to give peace a chance.

When the Republicans do it, they are trying to give war a chance.
