‘It’s not supposed to be easy’: Joe Scarborough’s frustrated that ‘nothing ever gets passed’ in Congress (and people have thoughts)

The gridlock in Congress also seems to frustrate MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough:

.@JoeNBC: "This Senate doesn't work, Congress doesn't work, it doesn't pass big legislation any more — Americans don't have a choice… which you can't get when nothing ever gets passed." pic.twitter.com/oU9jPUy1DY

If the Founders could respond, perhaps they’d say “that’s by design”:

Feature not a bug

Has it occurred to you that not passing a lot of legislation in a time of mass divisiveness is a feature and not a bug of the system? https://t.co/1FWqhEGirc

It's not supposed to be easy you fruit fly. https://t.co/e0kt9HRZp8

It does work. These bills are partisan trash @JoeNBC. Democrats do not have a strong mandate, and until they realize that nothing will get done. https://t.co/m1rMI15aPH

As Ronald Reagan said, the most frightening words you can hear are “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you,” so perhaps Joe should be careful what he asks for:

Every time Congress passes a law, Americans lose (both their liberty & their money). In that sense, the Senate is working. https://t.co/7r3xEmK9Vu

By doing nothing they’re actually doing plenty without realizing it!
