power in the hands of crooked demarat hacks is bad for everyone... good of the republicans step up and look out for the people

In 2010 Californians elected a Democratic governor and gave him a two thirds majority in the legislature ending our chronic $25 billion deficit and grid lock and bickering and its been better for every body. Better than since the early 1960's before Ronald Reagan became governor

If Rumitoid were to get as outraged over Democratic shenanigans as he does over those supposedly committed by Republicans, I would be inclined to give him a little more credit. As it is his outrage is all one way.

Democratic shenanigans pale by comparison to Republican corruption that drove me from the party

This is your America as well. If you agree with these tactics by the GOP, you are agreeing with undermining democracy. Why can't you see that? Never mind, h**e for Liberals has blinded you.

Give me an example, one, of Democrats pulling the same crap, as the GOP Lame Duck sessions overriding citizens v**e, gerrymandering (11 Red States told to amend their r****t re-districting by Federal courts), v**er suppression, limiting polling days and places to reduce minority participation (who cannot afford missing work during the week or travel great distances to v**e), and changing v****g laws (after a loss by less than 3000 v**es to a Democrat, a state law in North Dakota now demands v**ers have ID cards with residential addresses. Most Native Americans, that v**ed overwhelmingly for the Democrat, securing her win, do not have residential addresses but PO boxes.)

As Michigan and Wisconsin pass bills stripping newly elected Democrats of power, we need legislative solutions to show the country it’s not business as usual

What Republican legislators just did in Wisconsin – passing bills to strip key powers from the governor-elect, Tony Evers, and other newly elected Democratic officials – is a total betrayal of the people of Wisconsin and our nation’s democratic ideals.

Michigan is passing a similar set of bills and North Carolina Republicans are accused of paying someone to steal absentee b****ts and commit e******n f***d for a US House candidate. In Ohio, other undemocratic efforts are under way. It seems that Republicans officials nationwide from Donald Trump to Mitch McConnell and right down the line don’t have a problem assaulting our democracy if it means holding onto their power.

This is not how democracy works, and these maneuvers in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and North Carolina are not just power grabs. They are deliberate efforts to undermine democracy and our faith in it. And these efforts are getting more brazen and desperate every year.

I am enraged and, frankly, s**k of the shenanigans.

Everything from gerrymandering to attempts at v**er suppression have been long-term projects of the monied interests. But, like the w***e s*********ts’ public actions and the attacks on the media in the age of Trump, Republicans making their power grabs around the country are particularly emboldened right now.

The lame-duck session concept isn’t new either – it has just being taken to new extremes. Congress has used lame-duck sessions repeatedly for work that should have been conducted during the regular session. North Carolina Republicans showed Wisconsin Republicans how to mess with democracy back in December of 2016 when they successfully diminished the powers of the incoming Democratic governor Pat McCrory. A lame-duck session should only be for emergency measures. Too many people v****g is not an emergency.

Republicans making their power grabs around the country are particularly emboldened right now
Ultimately we need legislative solutions. Gains that were made in the midterm e******ns have given congressional Democrats a chance to push back and show the country it’s not just business as usual.

That’s why the group I have founded, Legit Action, is joining with like-minded groups like Common Cause and Daily Kos to support the House Democrats’ first legislative priority for next year, HR 1 – a vital set of pro-democracy safeguards that includes many much needed fixes authored by reformers such as Democratic representative John Sarbanes of Maryland. After what happened in Wisconsin, and what’s still happening elsewhere, there’s no time to waste in spreading the word about this effort.

Passing this crucial bill is going to be tough with Republicans almost universally committed to abusing the current system and leveraging it for their partisan gain. But the people we need to convince to support reforms like this will never come over to our side if they don’t see us speaking out. We must use our voices. We have to keep encouraging each other. We need to start building momentum right now.

Rumi you have fallen into the grip of projection, accusing Republicans of the dirty shinnanigans the Dems have gotten away with for years.

Go look at California and what happens when Dems get away with their c***ting ways. The Dem government there legalised v**e harvesting before the midterms took place, and engaged in all manner of c***ting and fraud to steal the House.

The Dems fraud WILL come to an end.

Thank God we have President Trump to make America great again!!

V**e harvesting is a Texas thing, there is no such thing in California. Democrats picked up 40 seats only seven is in California. Darrell Issa chose not to run because he knew he would loose

Until Americans realize it is both parties taking our freedom it will only get worse. Can you tell me one bill that has become law that has taken our freedoms that the other party has ended? They scream, b***h, and campaign on ending the law but never in our life time have they done it, never. Take the Affordable Care Act. I have listened to Repugs talk about ending it since it was passed. What has been done? Nothing! It isn't affordable and has doubled my rates still nothing. I have half the coverage I use to have. Nothing! I have a $5,000 deductible. Nothing! Until we say to hell with all these criminals and hold them to their oath we are no better than they are and deserve what ever they force on us. Screw both parties.
