    The Republicans don't appear to have plans... remind me what the Republican proposal to fix healthcare is again?

    And the US doesn't have any communists, nor would I support them if it did.

      No one is fixing anything. The govt just is making things worse.


      I don't think we are getting closer to agreement on what is good for the nation.

      Things would be better if we returned to old fashion partisan differences rather than to radicalization of differences. I think this radicalization is more harmful than the laws that are made.

        Along with their oversight responsibilities, the House has passed 250 bills which the republican Senate, led by Moscow Mitch, didn't even bother to bring to the floor. The "no ones that are not fixing anything" are republicans.

          Maybe things will go better after the impeachment process. Those impeachments gum up the whole system.

          It is funny that you try to ascribe a quasi-communist name to Mitch when the Dems prove themselves lovers of communism.

          I hope we at least agree that we don't want communism and we don't want a proletariat revolution.

            That the Dems are in any way communist is another bit of the poisonous fake news that's been poured into the porches of your naive ears.

                  So anything that reveals their true rotten intents (as I am talking only to Dems in the House and Senate) is fake news?

                  What else do you call a group who wants to overthrown the President elected by the people and who will set up secret tribunals against him?

                  What else do you call people that want to take some people's money and hand it out as favors to other people (if there is enough money remaining)?

                  What else do you call a group that despises godly morals in favor of state-doled rights?

                  What part of communism are they not advocating?

                  Maybe we just need a different name for their form of communism?

                    It's exactly what you've done. And the reality is, you do it all the time. Once a person realizes Trump is a bad apple and can no longer cooperate with him, you pronounce them. Traitors, rats, etc. It never seems to occur to you that the reason so many good people cant work withTrump, the reason s many come and go, is Trump, not that all these good people of high moral fiber and long distinguished careers are themselves bad apples. This same scenario has unfolded week after week, month after month.

                    The problem is not Kelly, or Tillerson, or Sessions, or Mattis, or Bolton, or Bannon or McCabe, etc etc. It's Trump

                    And in this case, what you see is two men that clearly believed their country needed them to be in Trump's way. That is not a decision either of them would come to easily or lightly, and wise people would take note of that.. .

                        The democrats aren't advocating any of the core concepts of communism:
                        - common ownership of the means of production: No
                        - the absence of social classes: No
                        - abolition of money: No
                        - abolition of the state: No

                        Maybe we just need a different name for their form of communism?
                        Maybe you should learn what communism entails and stop believing right-wing propagandists.

                          So you are just saying that the corrupt Dems are just are only trying to reach an achievable level of communism instead of the complete idealist version of communism. They don't have to reach the goal in order to be heading toward it.

                          That is not very encouraging.
