    They’re not the same. The Dems stand back and shake their fist/wring their hands when the Repubs have power and run roughshod over them. Then when the Dems have power they allow their efforts to be thwarted by the Repubs and gesture helplessly when in fact they could just push things through themselves.

    Also the DNC is a malfunctioning toilet that costs elections, implying that they think it’s better to have a pro-establishment Repub in power than a Dem maverick.



  • My guess is they think that since you’re paying for the audit the auditors won’t bust you for fraud, which is cute, since the auditors are asked to audit specific things that the company asks them to audit. They’re not released on the company like witch hunters, with wide open access to everything, cutting a swathe through fraud and criminality while people are furiously burning documents in the basement. So there is no conflict of interest, since the auditors are looking at what the people using them are asking them to look at.

    Oh, it wasn’t because of the fanatical dedication of the Japanese armed forces that were so dug in it would have taken years and cost thousands of American lives to defeat them, island by island? It was because they didn’t want the Russians to hog all the glory? Never heard that one before

    Of course it is, even when the Democratic party has control of the Executive and House they talk about why they can’t do anything, then the Republicans take control and ram through a bunch of shit and the Democratic party points and clucks their tongues at them. It’s been that way since roughly Reagan.
