Should Democrats work with Chump in the new year ?

I say no. I want to be on the record so if any Democrat works with Chump I can link this post to show I was always opposed to working with him.

Would you work with Hitler ? Pol Pot ? Idi Amin Dada ? Il Duce ?

A certain Democrat said things that could be construed as nice about Chump and I called that Democrat out. I just want to be on the record.

That being said I am willing to cut Democrats in deep red states some slack but only those Democrats.

which is not likely because Trumps political instincts are the worst I have ever seen. The only one who might match him is Andrew Johnson.

the Republicans don't have any interest in doing anything to/for this country except steal from it. So, I'm gonna have to say no to working with them.Right now the opnly thing they do want is somebody to co author their open faced theft.

McConnell held on a year to deny Obama a Supreme Court appointment.

They have made it clear. They ARE our enemies. They are more friends of Putin than true Americans.

hell no! I also want to take names of any who do so I can blast them for it. Once we get in the majority, well, maybe if we can twist him to our way...

this is war (class war to be specific).

there is something very odd and concerning about McConnell talking about being more bipartisan in the coming year. for nine years the repubs have been nothing but obstructionists, not to mention their outright dereliction of constitutional duty regarding the garland SC nomination. Now all of a sudden they want to play nice.

Democrats, BEWARE!!!! particularly watch out for war, and for allowing the repubs to look reasonable for 2018 elections.
