With Trump's Cabinet picks being so horrible I expect full Democratic obstruction. Nothing less.
Fuck this guy.
The GOP spent the last 8 years teaching us that obstructing the opposition politically is a noble cause.
I will not support any Democrat for office that co-operates in any way with the GOP and Trump.
Period.
Fuck their jobs program.
The GOP opposed any and every jobs program for the country for the last 8 years for Obama.
Now that they are in office and willing to end their blackmail we're supposed to support their jobs programs, loaded with other horrible riders and amendments of course?
FUCK THAT!
TOTAL FUCKING OBSTRUCTION!!
I think it's time Democrats fight Republicans the way Republicans fight Democrats.
We must make our elected reps fight this horror show in Washington.
If they won't fight then we have to replace them.
Imagine how much we could get done if Democrats were as afraid of their base as Republicans are of theirs?

Sadly, I agree. They'll cave and give the GOP almost anything they want.
I'd love for them to prove me wrong though.
Doubt they will 
I really say, Fuck him.
I got a hide during the primaries for saying that about the super hero; wonder what will happen now. My white hot rage spurs me to call his office each day and tell them how much I hate him.
I resent the fact that he is not a democrat, refuses to join our party, but now he is pushing the levers of power in our party. I don't know if I should call the DNC and tell them that if this is not the Democratic Party, why should I belong and work for it and give money to it, if we are not governing ourselves. But, I'm probably just a sore loser....along with all the losers of the planet who will be deeply impacted by this election.
Is today's progressive hero! 
back at you
that any substantive political debate disappeared; it focused only on personal attacks, the effect of which was to increase Mr. Berlusconi’s popularity. His secret was an ability to set off a Pavlovian reaction among his leftist opponents.' 
maybe that will be one vote we don't have to worry about?
On a purely self satisfying level, I want to see the Senate Democrats filibuster the most times that's ever been done in history.
However, we're screwed. They have the house. They have a very slim majority in the Senate, they have the presidency. That limp prick McConnell, and Cornyn are already threatening to go nuclear.
This is bad... REALLY bad. I don't think most have even considered how bad this can end up being.
Right now, they are just itching for a reason to go nuclear and eliminate the filibuster, and once they do.. to paraphrase Elmer Fudd... it's liberal season.
When it comes to the SCOTUS.. Everyone's assuming that President Orangutan will fill Scalia's seat and be done with it. Consider this though.. Senate Republicans steamroll the filibuster, and Trump just goes ahead and throws in 2.. 3.. or even 4 picks completely lop siding the SCOTUS. They will already have the AG's office, and can just not defend existing cases as they choose.
Goodbye Planned Parenthood, with their more senior members being imprisoned.
Goodbye Roe vs Wade, and all rights of choice.
Goodbye Gay marriage. Hello mandatory conversion therapy, or prison for all of us married gays who have filed taxes jointly, and everyone else who they can pin down on record as being GLBT+
Hello concentration camps for muslims who are part of an imagined threat to national security.
Hello new wave of gerrymandering. Voter suppression? Well, I can see a national registry that has to approve who can and can't vote in elections. It won't include the interred muslims, the deported, us GLBTQ+'s, you were identified in a protest against trump? Your voting privilege is revoked (notice I said privilege and not "right", I can forsee voting no longer being a "right" but a "privilege"
How realistic is this? I honestly don't know, but having seen how they took this election, and how "empowered" they feel they are, and with their numbers in 2 of the 3 branches of government how empowered they actually are.. it's definitely not entirely unrealistic that's for certain.
