Paul Ryan Warns of Subpoenas, Gridlock With Democratic Majority

(Bloomberg) -- House Speaker Paul Ryan warned that Democratic gains in November’s congressional elections could make it impossible to get anything accomplished and expose President Donald Trump’s administration to more aggressive oversight.

Should Republicans lose control of either the House or Senate, “you’ll have gridlock, you’ll have subpoenas,” with the whole legislative system “shutting down,” Ryan said Wednesday in Beverly Hills, California, at the annual Milken Institute Global Conference.

Dems majority = gridlock

My take:

Dems majority = things get done for the betterment of average USA citizens

Dems majority = roll back on that horrid tax scam

et al.,

Is THAT what they're gonna' campaign on?

Really????????

Truly, the Dems MUST show what a shit-show the past 2 years have been - actually, more than that if you consider McTurtle's pledge in 2009 to deny our last true President anything and everything (GAWD, I HATE McTurtle perhaps even more than IQ45!!!!!!)

So, yes, it behooves the Dems to call them on their "track record" - and there is SO much material there.

KICK 'EM IN THE BALLS - GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The textbook on political gridlock. You all need a course in Democracy. Better yet, you all need to get lost and go the fuck away to let better hearts and minds actually govern.
