The word "obstruction" has taken on a new meaning now, actually. If anyone had theories that the Democrats are playing 7d chess somehow, I could see an argument that they've manipulated all this just so the "obstructionist" label would be harder to turn around on them. Of course if they were playing 7d chess that well you'd figure they'd have done a little better in elections than they have, so that theory probably doesn't hold up + Show Spoiler [tin hat] +

Remind me, don't the Republicans have a majority in the House, the Senate and the Presidency?

Oh right, reality need not apply to Trump's universe.

This is so ridiculous that I expected more from you.
How can they actually obstruct a majority in both houses?

From a republican, talking about obstruction is a bit rich though.

Hypocritical, but not wrong.

It's as if Democrats saw the past six years of Republicans being obstructionist, complaining about it the whole way, then when they didn't have the presidency, thought, "hey, let's be just like those Republicans!"

What are the Democrats stopping right now through the (threat of) filibuster? Genuine question because from what I understand Trumps big moves are being stopped by Republicans, not Democrats.

What, other then the Supreme Court nomination, are the Democrats obstructing?

My guess is the part that sounds true in the message is the rallying behind a negative message (Not Trump) rather than a positive one (us). It's not actually true cause a lot of democrats are rallying behind single payer, amongst other things, but they could probably do with a little more of that kind of stuff and a little less Russia in general.

sadly, the other stuff doesn't get attention, so even when it's being done, nobody hears about, so they don't think i'ts being done and/or are unaware of it being done. or they're a bit aware of it; but misestimate the degree to which each is done because one gets far more coverage than the other. reminds me of the issues with how people perceive the crime rate to be (i.e. people perceive how bad crime is mostly based on the degree and sensationalism of the crime reporting, rather than on whether crime is in fact going up or down or what the actual rates are).

We all know you're are smarter than this. You know how congress works and how the republicans are preventing the democrats from even adding amendments to bills. Don't treat us like we are dumb enough to accept this stupid argument.

Just more Trump saying things that are factually not true because he dislikes certain people. Nothing to see here.

(Frantically googles if bond hearings can be appealed). It looks like the bond hearing happened before federal prosecution could get a motion to deny bond in. I have no idea who the defense got a federal judge to rule on a bond hearing on a Sunday. Maybe that is a weird Florida thing. My time in work in probation taught me avoid getting arrested on Friday at all costs, since you might(likely wont) get arraignment hearing till Monday.
