Dictators can make trains run on time. Trump signed a justice reform bill. There are at least 17 investigations into Trump’s misdeeds.

You don't see what a hack you look like by trying to turn a news thread about a bipartisan bill success that got passed with help from Trump to "but we can't focus on this, because we must always present Trump and the GOP as evil"? Your goal of always wanting to create black vs. white images ironically mirrors a lot of your comments about race. I'm done with this, going to leave you with: think again what you are going to do when your bete noire is no longer president. Meanwhile, more and more people are turned off by the partisan spin every day.

Graham in May 2016

“If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed … and we will deserve it” is a genuine quote from Senator Graham that was originally posted to his official Twitter account on 3 May 2016

Graham in September 2016

The US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham says he will not be supporting his party's presidential candidate Donald Trump. He told HARDtalk's Sarah Montague that at present he didn't feel able to vote for him and he would not vote for Hillary Clinton either.

He said: "I think judgement, temperament are his biggest problems right now...

"The Republicans should win this year because in our country it is very hard for one party to control the White House for 12 years. There's some Obama fatigue. But his inability to convince the American people as an individual he can deal with a crisis that comes with being Commander-in-Chief is the reason he's losing, and if he can overcome that then he could actually win this election."

You can trust Graham to hold his ground

.... And then they bow to his will on most issues. I suspect a majority of Republicans think Trump is mentally ill. We still won’t see the Cabinet suggest the 25th Amendment or the Senate Republicans support impeachment.

Barbara Lee wanted the post

Barbara Lee wanted the post that Jeffries won. Some more Progressive members may take a shot at Jeffries. Jeffries is well liked. He can now use his action to get the justice reform bill passed to quiet dissent. He is a person considered to be in line for Speaker when Pelosi puts down the gavel.

I have no problem with Barbara Lee. I have no problem with Hakeem Jeffries. We’ll find out about Ocasio-Cortez when she reaches Congress. She criticized Democrats for not paying interns a living wage. I don’t have problem with her making political moves. The normal maneuvering of Lee, Jeffries, and Ocasio-Cortez has nothing to do with the rot in the GOP.

You have a deluded childish vision of what goes in the halls of Congress:

Listen: Senators Collins and Reed caught on hot mic ‘worried’ about ‘crazy’ Trump

In reply to votes with Trump

It means that she is a hypocrite. Take the example of child separation. She says separation is “traumatizing”. She then opposes a bill that would end the practice.

What does that even mean?! He changes position on so many things every day.

In reply to You are doing your straw man

P.S. And how come you haven't commented on this thread: Ocasio-Cortez and friends would like to see Hakeem Jeffries primaried. Which one is the true Dem party? So much for unified party and unified minority voice. Reality is rarely so Manichean as you seem to like to present it.
