As of late, it's been sounding like the intransigence is just being ignored. I doubt that many of them, if any see the light.

This is not fiction here people, this is real life and those republicans in house really are the assholes everybody has been telling you about, get use to it and don't forget it so easy.

Why in the hell do you think we have a donkey as the mascot anyway
