Yeah. I used to think that a divided House and Senate was a good thing: It would slow down government intrusion on our lives and nation. I’ve come 180º on that, though, because the divide is no longer bridged by politicians who put the health and welfare of their electorate and the nation ahead of “beating the enemy”.
This is a minor concern compared to the coming shutdown of the government that’ll be caused by the GQP’s clowns. I have a feeling it might be the longest one yet. November 17th is when the continuing extension ends, and I have doubts there will even be a House Speaker by then.
The actual “alert” on people’s phones was totally useless — even or especially for its “intended” purpose, — since virtually nobody seemed to have any idea what it was or was for until it was over… and many (most?) still don’t.

Rethugliecons can always make a bad situation worse. Especially when they are supposed to be nonpartisan arbiters of the law.

Don’t worry. Brandon appointed a black lesbian to the SCOTUS, so all the problems will be fixed.
