Prickly City by Scott Stantis for September 05, 2023

Those days are gone, and the Republicans demand for the new budget are out of this world

Newt made that into a word that may NEVER be uttered…. by ANY Republican.

There’s no way to compromise with those who don’t recognize reality.

REAL men compromise, because REAL men work with those they dislike for the good for the community.

Compromise: Dividing a cake in such a way that every recipient believes they got the biggest piece.

Heck, even Tip O’Neil and President Reagan used to meet several times per week after hours to discuss measures benefitting all.

As we head to the “Freedom Caucus Shutdown” let’s note which is the party that made “compromise” a dirty word.

Biden went to Florida.

DeSantis refused to meet with him, even though he was sending emergency relief to DeSantis’s state.

Republicans are now threatening to shut down the Government unless they can impeach Biden, even though they don’t know what for.

The refusal to compromise is all on one side, Scott.

In 20 years, after most of the Baby Boomers have died, we’ll be able to work that idea again.

Fascist republicans hate that word, they want a total right wing dictatorship instead of American democracy.

“Communication” is a dirty word where I work.

Not enough folks in government seem to care much about what’s right for the country any more. It’s all about power and division.

Biden is the one that’s gotten so much done by compromise.

It’s the Right-Wing evangelicals that believe god is on their side and refuse to do so that can’t get anything done.

No it’s just that the corporate media and the Republicans don’t want you to say that word… and when they allow you to, it’s usually to support claim that anything short of Democrats adopting the far right position isn’t compromise.
