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

Posted at 3:27 pm on June 2, 2021 by Doug P.

The Democrats have control of the House, Senate and the White House, and yet there are many bills the Left would like to see passed, which has led Dems such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to try and hurry things along:

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

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

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 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!
