Shall we count the ways?
The Teabaggers have the majority in the House and Senate and the White House. And most of the courts. Them being unable to pass their agenda isn't somehow the Democrats fault. It's their incompetence. (Yes, I know about 60 votes in the Senate. Explain the House inaction to me...)
But what have they done?
- conspired with Russia to steal elections for the White House and (at the very least) House races - stealing a Supreme Court seat - violating the Emoluments clause of the Constitution - fired all the US Attorneys in an attempt to disguise the sacking of Preet Bharara for his investigation against Russian money laundering via Trump's properties - unleashing ICE on innocent people - attempting to destroy immigration from Muslim countries - immigrants who work in rural healthcare, etc., etc. - gutting the State Department - attempting to destroy international agreements (Paris, TPP, TTIP, etc.) - helping to destroy NATO and the EU to reward his "friend" Vlad - rewarding dictators and wannabe dictators (Duterte, Erdogan, Putin, etc.) - getting us more deeply involved in Syria and other unwinnable wars - acting as a bully against Qatar - apparently at least in part to try to pressure investors in Jr's 666 white elephant
You get the idea. Those are just off the top of my head.
Just because the Teabaggers have been incompetent at passing legislation (thus far) doesn't mean that they and Donnie aren't doing tremendous damage.
I assume you're doing your part to defeat the BCRAP bill in the Senate. Right?
HTH.
Cheers, Scott.

Re: Shall we count the ways?
- conspired with Russia to steal elections for the White House and (at the very least) House races If you have proof of that notify the FBI please
- stealing a Supreme Court seat How is that done? I didnt know a seat was missing
- violating the Emoluments clause of the Constitution Again if you have proof that drumpf is taking a bribe, please notify the HBI please
- fired all the US Attorneys in an attempt to disguise the sacking of Preet Bharara for his investigation against Russian money laundering via Trump's properties
How come you didnt want Obama fired for firing the US attorneys? If I remember right you were cheering at the time because the Liberty U gomers were sent off
- unleashing ICE on innocent people while I disagree on US law on immigration ICE is enforcing current law.
- attempting to destroy immigration from Muslim countries - immigrants who work in rural healthcare, etc., etc. we did it to the japanese, chinese, irish, italians and the Jews. Not to say it is right, just ample precendent from the past - gutting the State Department ? gonna need to expand on that one, Haven't seen an bews on that.
- attempting to destroy international agreements (Paris, TPP, TTIP, etc.) attempting isnt done
- helping to destroy NATO and the EU to reward his "friend" Vlad you will need to expand on that, He was just in Poland affirming the alliance. Altho maybe he heard he was down in the Polls so he went there to shore them up
- rewarding dictators and wannabe dictators (Duterte, Erdogan, Putin, etc.) How is he rewarding them? You got copies of the checks he sent?
- getting us more deeply involved in Syria and other unwinnable wars no question on that one
- acting as a bully against Qatar - apparently at least in part to try to pressure investors in Jr's 666 white elephant What is he doing to Qatar? He is getting people involved to help them out?
Sounds like you are watching too much fox news

Related: Joel Clement at WaPo - I'm a scientist not an accountant.
Washington Post: I am not a member of the deep state. I am not big government.
I am a scientist, a policy expert, a civil servant and a worried citizen. Reluctantly, as of today, I am also a whistleblower on an administration that chooses silence over science.
Nearly seven years ago, I came to work for the Interior Department, where, among other things, I’ve helped endangered communities in Alaska prepare for and adapt to a changing climate. But on June 15, I was one of about 50 senior department employees who received letters informing us of involuntary reassignments. Citing a need to “improve talent development, mission delivery and collaboration,” the letter informed me that I was reassigned to an unrelated job in the accounting office that collects royalty checks from fossil fuel companies.
[...] Yeah, but they haven't done anything yet, it's all propaganda... Cheers, Scott.

sure, trump called down there and said get rid of that guy
not hardly. He was helping communities prepare for climate change. Instead they should be worrying about clean water and decent housing.

People are policy.
The federal government can do more than one thing at at time, when it has people in leadership who want to get good things done...

Your full-Monty Black/White digital "reasoning"-for-an-effect
insults MY ..and apparently Others' intelligence. Repeatedly.. almost 'without surcease', y'know, Bunkie?
(And YES we. know. that you Are capable of regular-Reasoning).. but you don't "waste?" that effort on the denizens of This venue. [save on Rare occasion] And THAT's fucking-obvious.

"Down here" WTF you kidding?
It's not a choice of, "preparing for climate change is more important than clean drinking water". As AScott said a bit up-thread, the federal government can do more than one thing at at time. So it should be "preparing for climate change and clean drinking water."

That dichotomy isn't even false
Destroying the environment and destroying the Flint water system are caused by the same thing. But you know that.
You do know that, right?

OK.. I do drink water
Also breathe air. Also LIKE having the [n+n-thousand Animals still-alive and WELL]
Do not thrive ...WHEREVER I AM ... in triple-digit TEMPS. Do not condone "saving $$ for billionaire-buddies" of a mental 'Prez', via gutting as many programs aimed at preserving wild-life (or even JUST. LIFE.)
Need moar? YOUR climate-∆-denying, nasty-mouthed/oft iggerant mentors represent SPECIES'-DEATH == ALL of them, not just Our drain-bamaged LIFE-despising assholes of 2001 +/-
Look: Don Quixote already ran through your program(s) way-back: the Windmills in Netherlands ... continue to respond to F=MA/wind-in-action.
But 'tis an ill-wind which blows balderdash.

This kind of BS from BO is why I take a year or three off from this place every now and again.
You know you're behaving like an arsehole, don't you, BOx? That this intellectual dishonesty you practice is infuriating, insulting, and beneath even you? (You can't be quite as stupid as you're trying to come off as.)
And yet, you keep doing it, year after year. Ever seeen Forrest Gump? I think it is he who says, "Stupid is as stupid does".
Applied here, it becomes "Arsehole is as arsehole does".
