Ditto. The GOP surrendered. Its their fault Obama rules as dictator.
I’ve mentioned it elsewhere (forgive for repeating myself), but that there is a scene in the 1985 movie “Witness” that really captures my thoughts about the current situation with Congress and the Senate. After the Amish boy picks out the police officer (played by Danny Glover) as the perpetrator of the murder he saw in the bathroom, the Harrison Ford character figures out the corruption ring involving the crooked cop and the disappearance of a valuable ingredient needed to make speed and that Philadelphia was an important centre of the amphetamine drug traffic.
You can see the same sort of connection: the wealthy corporate masters need the cheap labour from the Mexicans and also (due to interest rates being kept artificially low) use the taxpayer as their unlimited credit card. So they will use ones like Boehner and McConnell and the rest of them to play these games with things like immigration and blowing out the national debt.
“They need the P2P stuff to make the speed and they’ll pay up to $5000 for a pint of it”-John Book, Witness (1985)
