A Party Of Masochist

I agree that in the initial reconciliation package of pork that the Democrats tried to ram through at the close of the last session, Johnson was far too conciliatory, which irked the party's ultra-conservative wing. Face it: any Democrat legislation that passes will result in increased spending, mostly spending that will expand government. If we want to affect change and support the Trump agenda, we must adopt a harder stance and demonstrate consistency in our policies. But why can’t the Republicans ever do what the Democrats have turned into an art form? They meet behind closed doors where they hash it out, do their arm-twisting, and emerge as a unified front without airing all their dirty laundry in public. The Republicans insist on bickering in broad daylight, a habit that makes us look divided and weak, giving the mainstream media more fodder to feed their partisan attacks. And to hold out and potentially allow the minority to install their candidate as speaker, in this case, the reprehensible dead-eyed Hakeem Jeffries, is an act bordering on treason. How is it that the state of New York continues to produce such blatantly partisan, self-serving, and sometimes just morally corrupt, power-hungry hacks as Schumer, Spitzer, Cuomo, Nadler, AOC, Hochul, Alvin Bragg, Leticia James, Sheldon Silver, Eric Schneiderman and now Jeffries, who apparently is unaware of the concept of audio recordings where he can be heard vacillating in his policies and criticisms to suit the most recent polling data. Maybe Bobby Kennedy can get to the bottom of it. Be it vaccines, microplastics, pollution, or nutrition, there’s something wrong with the health of New Yorkers, the candidates, and the citizenry who continues to vote them into office.
