Those who persist in calling for amity among congresspersons and remain convinced of American goo-goo government while Republicans hold levers of power in Congress — throwing industrial-sized monkey wrenches at virtually every piece of reasonable legislation — and still refuse to acknowledge Donald Trump's many presidential crimes, are delusional.
Democrats should not only silently scorn these backward, reactionary non-lawmakers and Trump-abetting scofflaws, they should make their scorn audible and indiscriminately visible. As did Democratic Rep. Linda Sanchez at the congressional baseball game last night.

Preferable would have been a bloody, no-gloves, multi-ring boxing match betwixt the wannabe goo-goo-government types and the troglodytic, emotionally arrested arses. But as we all know in this age of the Trumpian miasma, we just can't have nice things.
