If you don’t have something to growl or curse about today, our friend Jeff over at On the Fence Voters has something to help you find your grumbly growl! Fellow democrats are shooting themselves … AND US … in the foot. Intentionally. Because they sold their brains for a box of Cracker Jacks! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Thanks Jeff — great post!
Unity, huh? I have to admit; I thought President Biden might get at least a few weeks of relative respect from the media as well as Republican politicians. Boy, was I wrong.
I also was hoping the far-left might cut the new president some slack too. You know, maybe see what’s actually in the proposed $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill before criticizing it profusely? Wrong, again.
I wrote several months ago in this space that I thought Biden was the best man to try and unify the country. I still feel that way. But I also acknowledged that I knew it wasn’t going to be easy. Frankly, I expected the Republicans to come at him with fierce resistance to everything he tries to do. And, true to form, a myriad of catcalls and complaints already are infecting the airwaves and internet. Here are just a few:
“How are all these…

Good share Jill.
I had my say on Jeff’s site. Basically if you are a Democrat at this stage, if you really care for your nation you do not complain at Joe Biden, otherwise you are a betrayer to The People. (That’s how it works folks. Politics in the raw)

I checked out your reply on Jeff’s post … spot on analysis. Sadly, I expect this to continue … everybody claims to want unity, but they want it on THEIR terms. Sigh. BTW … Jeff is on his mini-vacation now, so he won’t likely respond to your comment until early next week.

Yeah they all want it ‘their’ way; and never see the harm they are doing.
This is why when I get really cranky (at least twice a day) up comes the comment ‘The trouble with Stalin was that he over-thought the problem and also didn’t lock up Beria,’

I’m sure he will … it’s his wife’s birthday, so they’re taking their dogs and getting away for a few days.
Only twice a day you get really cranky? Good job! I’m up to twice an hour now!

Pingback: Bye Bye Unity | The Inglorius Padre Steve's World
Jeff made some very good points. Unity should be on Democrat terms since they won the election but the division will just get greater with the Repubs forgetting their guilt over Trump and not voting for guilty in the impeachment trial. That’s not Unity and nor is The Hous Minority leader using the filibuster to try and hamper Joe Biden in his work. If he does that on covid regulations then fresh blood will be on republican hands again

Yes, he did. Unity … people on all sides have to work at it, have to first of all WANT it, and in truth I believe there are some in this country who are enjoying (and perhaps profiting from) the Great Divide. The divide is so multifaceted that it would take a genius to sort it all, but we could make a start … only we won’t be able to until both sides agree to try, and that just isn’t happening. Sigh.

The country is so split. Split even on the same sides. It’s the same here. Labour finds a sensible leader but immediately parts of the party would rather attack him than Johnson. They are no better than Nero playing fiddle while Rome burns.

This nation … will not survive like this for long. We are so divided that some in our government encourage white supremacist groups to kill the rest of us, then want us to forgive and forget. Too damn many people here carry a gun everywhere they go, and hate any who don’t think or look like them. This situation is not sustainable … people are going to die and most likely this nation will be no better than Nazi Germany in 1933. Sigh.
