The Republican party is terrible and can't get out of their own way. There are way too many "principled conservatives" when it comes time to get stuff done. The Dems, for as big of a shite show as they are, always get there members in line when needed.

A full year of Trump’s final term is already over, and congressional Republicans have only confirmed 15% of Trump’s federal prosecutors. Democrats are burning down cities, and Trump only has 1 out of every 6 of his prosecutors confirmed.



Let's be honest here. Republicans could confirm every one of his nominees if they really wanted to. They could end the filibuster and do it this afternoon if they wanted. On the flip side, Trump could adjourn congress today and recess appoint all of his nominees. I think he gets too fixated on "making a deal" sometimes and loses sight of doing what needs to be done. He is a co equal branch of the gov't and as such it is his duty to staff the executive...
You cannot allow bullshite like what is occurring in MN to continue on in perpetuity because you don't have the enough federal prosecutors to indict a jaywalker. All this shite is flowing downhill because the GOP is worthless, and Trump won't give them a massive kick in the arse with anything besides a few tweets. Meanwhile you have that worthless sack of tits Bondi who can't be bothered to do anything but talk about probes.

If the GOP did their jobs they wouldn't have to worry about the midterms.

It doesn't matter what houses of congress you give them. It doesn't matter the size of the majority they possess. They accomplish nothing. It's more important that individuals within the party die on whatever dumbass hill of their choosing than to advance the agenda of the party and the American people. Don't get me wrong, democrats are bat shite crazy, but they aren't lazy. The GOP is just incredibly lazy.. Imagine where we would actually be today if Pam Bondi's sorry arse had half the work ethic of a Marco Rubio, and stayed off television.


The vast majority of politicians in DC are opportunists in their core being. By the time a politician makes it to DC they are pretty well versed in the unspoken and unwritten rules of the DC Uniparty, a Uniparty that pays very well if you buy into the corrupt system and behave.

Does ICE get $10 billion and border crossings down to almost 0 if Kamala won?


Correct.
While there are cultural and slight policy differences, the list I typed is more impactful than ICE.

But, keep voting red amigo!
The republicans will care...next time!

Trump cannot just adjourn Congress to make recess appointments. Otherwise he would have.

Anyone that thinks the majority of the GOP aren't committing the same fraud as the DNC is just naive. That's why they do nothing because they're guilt, too . frick them all.

Imagine winning the electoral vote, popular vote, and both chambers to only have people derail the agenda and have others say nothing is getting done.
