How likely do you really think it is that our leaders in congress are hopelessly incompetent and scared to act? The Republicans have stopped following rules and procedures and resort to massively corrupt, fascistic tactics specifically precisely because Democrats are smarter and better at democracy than they are. When Bill Clinton wasn't fooling with his zipper, he was turning their ruthless attacks into victory after victory; the only wins they had were achieved through massive misuse and corruption of power. A big, final repeat of lessons we'd already given them. McConnell and Ryan committed to scorched earth under Obama, and he still won against them. Losses both in government and in elections have forced them to subversion of democracy because they can't win that way and we can.
Yes, we're all frustrated that the results of the Mueller Report severely set back our plans for impeachment. But if some in their frustration are going to regurgitate this hostile pack journalism and RW theme every day, they should please at least recognize and admit it for what it is.
I'm frustrated also, but I have grandchildren who have to live with what we leave them, and I won't carry water for our very dangerous enemies in these critical times.
