Joe Biden just tried to pass a MAGA border bill in order to secure war funding for Ukraine and Israel and the GOP said no lol
What do you call it when the majority party completely caves to the minority party’s legislative agenda and still doesn’t get their way?

Nord Stream was under pressure, commissioned, and ready to deliver. Then Gilligan, the Skipper, Maryanne, Ginger, the Professor and the Howel’s sailed in on the SS Minow and blew it up.

That's not how that worked, but go ahead and make yourself a convenient little story.

Well considering they control the house - literally nothing can pass without them,
Not that I endorse the bill in question - but this is called compromise lol, and the lack of it is the reason the US congress has been completely dysfunctional since the 90s. --- if anything is pathetic it's the partisans of opposite parties so vehemently hating anything that the opposite side wants, to the degree of sacrificing their own agenda just to make eachother look bad lol.

Yeah but they didn't use guns to influence the population during that poll, so it doesn't count.

Compromise is when you give the minority party everything they want.
Surely this is what the gop does in power, yes? No of course not, it’s just a coincidence that this “dysfunction” has ceded ground to the right for decades.

Ok ok, you got me, it wasn’t the SS Minnow, it was the SS Andromeda with Gilligan, the Skipper, Maryanne, Ginger, the Professor, Thurston Howell the 3rd and Mrs Howell, a shit load of dive tanks, a decompression chamber and 500 kilos of bang bang.

Neither congress has done anything particularly, the ACA was probably the only large, non-spending bill to pass congress in the last 20 years.
Governance comes from executive orders/action and court decisions these days

Having your ally blow up one of your own major economic assets in what would be considered an act of war by any normal country is not how you achieve energy independence.
It's just all so ridiculous.
Making matters worse, Germany's economy is in the tubes because of it. Their industry is dying and there are few job prospects. Turns out, a healthy economy needs cheap energy. Now they're paying what double? Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
