The last few republican held congresses were the least productive in American history. It hardly cost them any seats in 2016 and gained them the White House. Just because you like to name call doesn't change reality.

Obstructionists all, with Mitch McConnell leading the way. What about the Garland appointment? Now that it's their turn, the GOP is whining.

Michelle Obama Part Duex now playing in corridors of power near you.
I wonder if the same folks rightly screaming about Michelle's use of the company dime will be equally critical now?

Gonna be a fun 4 years and I suspect there will be plenty of fodder to throw around. This is just the start and I expect the same amount of silence from the Trump crowd as we got from the anti-Bush crowd once Obama took the top job. Hypocrisy is not limited to a specific political side. In fact, and not leaving out the 3rd parties either, all are guilty.

Obama’s Ambassador Sabotaging Trump In Guatemala
When Donald Trump requested the resignations of US ambassadors, the embassy in Guatemala released an ominous message. Press received word that Todd Robinson would remain, since he was not a political appointee, and “nothing will change.”
The affirmation signaled an extension of the conflict in Washington, DC: the unprecedented undermining of an orderly transition of power from one political party to another. In Guatemala, the head of Barack Obama’s resistance office is US Ambassador Todd Robinson. He is frantically attempting to consolidate power for local allies, so they can resist Trump’s agenda in the region.
Robinson’s strategy is to change the Guatemalan Constitution to guarantee his allies’ dominance over the judiciary, even after the Trump administration changes policy. Since Secretaries of State Hillary Clinton and John Kerry imposed them on the Guatemalan government, it is riddled with radical collectivists who violate the law to further their agenda, with Robinson’s protection.President Jimmy Morales can remove executive-branch functionaries, but not magistrates. Collectivist jurists impede criminal justice for political allies and issue illegal rulings against development projects. If the constitutional changes pass, the judiciary will be a more formidable obstacle, even if Trump liberates Guatemala from Robinson’s grip.A second part of the resistance strategy is to force Morales to resign to avoid a fruitful partnership with the Trump administration. Morales could enforce the law on Robinson’s criminal allies and end their kidnapping and vandalism they call “social protest.” Constitutional changes won’t be necessary if a committed radical, disguised as a moderate, replaces Morales.

traditionally the last of a pres's term during election year he doesn't nominate a judge, but leaves it for the next pres. Obama thought he was 'special' and ignored the tradition. The Dems are still whining about it. The Dems continue stalling knowing that Gorsuch (unless he drops over dead) WILL BE confirmed. The Dems constituents are the ones shaking their heads.

Annoy a conservative....Think for yourself
Compassion and empathy for others is not a conservative trait.
For Gorsuch to side with the trucker, it would have to be a situation someone in his family was facing, in which case, of course he would find compassion.If it was someone from his family he would have sued the trucking firm's nutz off.

you really need tunnel vision to judge a case........only the case before you , not hearsay and outside crap. A judge's job shouldn't involve compassion only interpretation of the law!!
glenn greenwald said recently the swamp always wins.
even the drudge report came out against trump recently.

It also not true then. It is a lie. The GOP openly, easily provably lies and she and 30 some odd million people believe it.
