Republicans complain about "unprecedented" obstruction

[Brainonska511]

“I think this is a completely unprecedented level of obstruction,” said Senator Patrick J. Toomey, Republican from Pennsylvania.

He said, unironically about the nomination process currently underway.

What is obstructed is the flow of intelligence to his brain.

It serves them right for all the obstruction tactics they pulled during Obama's term. However, at the same time the Dems are showing they're no different than the Repubs.

Democrats have had no problem letting qualified candidates go through up to this point. Somehow, republicans who used to love Merrick Garland, suddenly thought he was unqualified...because the blacky nominated him. How mysterious.

And here's the thing: Strumpf nominated a bunch of dudes with serious ethics concerns regarding their investments and private interests for their nominated positions...and Trump submitted them late, and most of these guys further delayed submitting the necessary documentation for oversight. These guys think they can steamroll through Congress and into the Executive like the US government is some kind of fuckhole corporation.

Fuck them. Tell the assholes to be on time next time, I guess.

Definitely not true. The obstruction during Obama was absolutely unprecedented in its scope and there's never been anything like it in US history. The Democrats will now likely attempt to return the favor as they would be insane not to but let's not pretend what happened over the last 8 years was somehow normal.

The unprecedented obstructionism happened when Obama was in office, this is just more crying and moaning by morons who expect the country to mimic their issues with memory and integrity.

I would prefer Dems to not imitate the kind of obstruction the GOP did for 8 years, with the exception of the USSC. They stole a seat from Obama, and the voters who gave him that power were disenfranchised by McConnell and Co. Point of order, sorry asshats, sorry you have a problem with Dump's picks being 'delayed.'

Oh don't get me wrong Im not saying one side is worse than the other. Im just saying the tactic of obstruction is used by both sides, sometimes more heavy handed by one side than the other in certain cases, but its simply politics.

Republicans/Democrats 2 sides of the same partisan coin. Maybe we can finally end the smarmy, holier than thou bullshit from the lefties in this forum complaining about obstructionism.

Nope, we did it also, and now it's the Democrats. The difference is i'm not a hypocrite and trying to claim my side doesn't do it.

IMO this kind BS is why people wanted a change. A change from the establishment to something, anything, else.

I'm glad they're doing it, and I hope they continue to do it until they feel like they don't need to. Fvck drumpf, and his minions.
