Ummm, you seem to be talking to yourself again. Perhaps you are just talking in your sleep? Because you aren't making any sense. The statement (above) is false. Nobody can possibly think what you just said is true. Nobody. Not even Trump. Although he would lie about that.

Did the Democrats not control both houses of congress until 2011??? The Republicans could NOT stop anything they were shoving through, not even Obamacare (they tried, remember?)

I think you're remembering the first 2 years wrong.

So perhaps you're mistaking Democrat controlled congress for "republican obstruction" but you can't tell me gravy is jelly 'cause gravy aint sweet bud.

I'm remembering those first two years just fine. It's you who sound like one of Orwell's brainwashed characters who can't remember history.

As it turns out, "unprecedented" is apt description for almost every boulder in the stone wall of Republican obstructionism Barack Obama has faced from the moment he took the oath of office. From the GOP's record-setting use of the filibuster and its united front against Obama's legislative agenda to blocking judicial nominees and its admitted hostage-taking of the U.S. debt ceiling, the Republican Party has broken new ground in its perpetual quest to ensure that Barack Obama will be a one-term president.

The Republicans didn't merely eviscerate the old mark for cloture motions and filibusters after their descent into the minority in 2007. As Paul Krugman detailed, the GOP's obstructionism has fundamentally altered how the Senate does - or more accurately, doesn't do - business:

The political scientist Barbara Sinclair has done the math. In the 1960s, she finds, "extended-debate-related problems" -- threatened or actual filibusters -- affected only 8 percent of major legislation. By the 1980s, that had risen to 27 percent. But after Democrats retook control of Congress in 2006 and Republicans found themselves in the minority, it soared to 70 percent.

70% of all legislation was threatened with filibuster or blocked by filibuster during the time the GOP congressional caucus was a minority in Congress. That mother fucker GOP minority in the 111th Congress BLOCKED JOBS bills in the teeth of the great recession when actual unemployment actually WAS near 20%.

You are an idiot

Trump shagged you
