Even When They Manage To Steal Control Of Government, Conservatives Don't Do Anything But Obstruct

Ohio reactionary, Gym Jordan (R-OH) is a leading Republican on two committees: Oversight and Government Reform ,where he is the ranking member, and Judiciary. That's it. He's not on any committees that deal with passing actual laws, just committees that most deal with bad behavior. So when he goes on Fox every other day to warn about how Democrats don't deal with anything substantive, he's referring to his own committees-- and he's lying. Democrats have passed dozens of bills to make life better for the American people but they can't move forward because Senate Majority Leader, #MoscowMitch, refuses to allow then to be debated and voted on.In the first 5 months alone, the House passed over 50 bills that McConnell refused to allow to reach the Senate floor-- all of which were opposed by Jordan-- from lowering prescription drug prices (HR 987, HR 1520 and HR 1503), protecting people with preexisting conditions (HR 986), the Paycheck Fairness Act (HR 7), two background check bills (HR 1112 and HR 8), bills to deal with Climate Change and environmental degradation (HR 9, HR 1331, and HR 2578), a resolution to end U.S, involvement in the Saudi genocide in Yemen (SJ Res. 7), Violence against Women Act (HR 1585) to bills to protect consumers (HR 1500), abused children (HR 2480), and government employees (HR 790)... and dozens more.But there was Jordan-- who only wants to protect child molesters-- on Fox again yesterday, whining-- falsely-- that "the push for impeachment from House Democrats is taking away from Congress’s ability to fulfill the needs of the American people."McConnell's self-proclaimed role as "the Grim Reaper" for all House-passed legislation is the problem-- and, of course, McConnell's is just the hideously ugly face of that problem. There isn't one Republican in the Senate, or anywhere in Congress, who has complained about it. And that's why I decided to post the video above from the latest John Oliver show. I urge you to watch it.
