White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, appearing on Fox News Sunday, repeated the official administration line that Democrats had to choose between legislation and investigation. Chris Wallace reminded Mulvaney that he had supported a Republican Congress that had engaged in continuous investigations of the White House, reopening probes to chase conspiracy theories even after they had been conclusively debunked.

This prompted Mulvaney to make an interesting confession. The Republican Congress never wanted to pass laws in the first place:

WALLACE: You were there, of what the Republicans did to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on Benghazi, on Fast and Furious. And they got some things done despite the fact that these were aggressive partisan investigations.

MULVANEY: Well, we didn’t get very much done. Listen, I’ll be the first to admit that when the tea party wave, of which I was one, got here in 2011, the last thing we were interested in was giving President Obama legislative successes.


Mulvaney casually confessed last week that nobody cares about the deficit. Mulvaney of course spent the Obama era claiming to care about the deficit a lot — so much, indeed, that he was willing to shut down the government or even default on the national debt in order to reduce it.

That’s one reason why Obama couldn’t make a deficit deal with Republicans: They didn’t care about the deficit. Also, as Mulvaney now casually concedes, they didn’t want to give him any accomplishments at all, so even if Obama offered a deal they could live with, they would have opposed it rather than allow him to claim legislative success.

GOP = Party of Liars!
GOP is on the Road to Hell!

Well stupid62 that so called road to hell will be and is paved with democrats.

The Republican Party of the last quarter century regularly toggles between methodological extremes. When they gain the presidency, they dismiss congressional oversight and fiscal responsibility alike as totally unnecessary. When they relinquish it, they pursue both to fanatical extremes. Either they are blowing up the deficit and covering up wild crime sprees, or they are demanding senseless austerity and conducting permanent, redundant investigations of phantasmal Fox News–generated nonevents.

Typically, they roll out a new cast of characters to justify the stance of the moment and allow the old ones to fade into the sunset. The Clinton-era inquisitors of Capitol Hill were gone from the scene when the Bush administration was escaping oversight and rolling up debt. The Bushies faded into the background when Obama-era Republicans waxed hysterical about debt and scandal. Now a new reversal is upon us. Unfortunately for Trump’s party, Mulvaney is still with us to answer for the past.

the only people who matter to Republicans are other Republicans. They have always been party-over-country, yet have the audacity to declare themselves patriots. Sadly, 1/3 of Americans are just smart enough to understand what they are told, but not smart enough to question it.

I noticed on the cover of their June 8th 1970 issue they have three white women giving the white supremacy salute! That is the salute that you left wingers claim is a sign of white supremacy isn't it wvit?

do you make stupid irrelevant comments out of complete ignorance of what anybody is talking about or just because you never read, or cannot read any of the comments or even what the subject title is of the thread? 

why do you even comment?

blammie's mostly just a goofy old troll.

Again, your subject title doesn’t match your post ddduuuuummmbvik (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/rolleyes.gif)

No where in you post does it say R’s admitted lying about Barry the fake POTUS ,

ya squirrley lil dipshit (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/grin.gif)

even a retarded racist pig should know obama was not born in kenya, he was not a secret muslim, obamacare was not anymore "socialist" than Romneycare that the very conservative Heritage Foundation praised just a few years earlier....and on and on...they lied, their propaganda media outlets lied, and they wrote memos outlining their plan to delay, obstruct and deny obama at every turn as it was the only way to possibly keep him from getting great things done for this country and hurt their political agenda of making rich people richer and fucking the country. 

Still no proof R’s lied about FAKE POTUS Barry Soetoro aka BHO !

And no proof Barry was who he said he was

But lots of proof he was a fraud!

I noticed on the cover of their June 8th 1970 issue they have three white women giving the white supremacy salute! That is the salute that you left wingers claim is a sign of white supremacy isn't it wvit?
