The Penultimate Examiner | PROGRESSIVE WAVE!

If you think the Democrats are good people, then you need to sit down and think for a moment.

The Democrats have control of an entire Chamber of Congress. Do you understand what this means? It means that the Democrats, under Nancy Pelosi's leadership, have the ability to stonewall every single bill that Trump or Republicans propose.

They can stonewall them and make sure that Trump's legislative agenda and ultimately his goals never become a reality.

Do you want to know what the Democrats, under Nancy Pelosi's Leadership decided to do?

They decided to vote for bills that allowed for arguably 70% of Trump's legislative agenda to pass.

You read that correct folks. The Democrats allowed for most of Trump's legislative agenda to pass.

1. The Democrats voted for Trump's Military Budget Bill which makes our already bloated military budget which is larger than the next ten countries combined EVEN LARGER!

'Atrocious': 188 Democrats Join GOP to Hand Trump $738 Billion

"It is Orwellian for Congress to hand over billions of dollars worth of weapons and bombs to a president waging a horrific, unconstitutional war in Yemen—and call that progressive."

Here are all the denocrats that voted for Donald Trump's bill. Warning, there's a lot of them that voted in SUPPORT of Donald Trump.

[ http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2019/roll672.xml

In fact, 188 denocrats voted in SUPPORT of Donald Trump's bill, and only 41 voted against it, but please, tell me to go vote blue no matter who.

2. The Democrats voted to increase Donald Trump's surveillance powers

This amendment was introduced into the house in order to end the near limitless spying powers that the now Donald Trump controlled NSA has.

You know what the denocrats did?

Instead of voting for this amendment in order to END the near limitless spying powers that the now Trump controlled NSA has, they vote AGAINST IT! Meaning the Democrats SHOT DOWN an amendment that would end Trump's limitless spying powers.

Meaning they voted to KEEP his unconstitutional and Orwellian surveillance powers. Thanks Democrats for giving Trump frighteningly Orwellian spying powers.

Critics Lament as 126 House Democrats Join Forces With GOP to Hand

https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/06/19/critics-lament-126-house-democrats-join-forces-gop-hand-trump-terrifying-mass

Here are all the Democratic who shot down this amendment to stop Trump's spying powers.

[ http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2019/roll345.xml ]

More Democrats voted IN FAVOR OF TRUMP'S SPYING POWERS than AGAINST it.

But please tell me to #VoTebLuEnOmATtERWhO in order to "DEFEAT THE EVIL PUTIN PUPPET DONALD TRUMP (who the Democrats keep enabling)".

3. Fun fact, this wasn't the first time they voted too maintain Trump's limitless spying powers. In fact, they did it TWICE.

They did it when they had control of the house in late 2019. They also did it when they didn't have control of the house.

You know what this means, right? It means the Democrats cowardly went along with the GOP's sick and disgusting plans.

Opinion | Dems should know better than to give Trump more spying power

There is no reason for the FBI to read Americans' emails without a warrant. Why doesn't Nancy Pelosi agree?

Democrats Regret Not Fighting Harder For Obama's Supreme Court Pick

They got steamrolled by Mitch McConnell. But they could have done more to prevent him from stealing the seat.

7. Democrats voted for Trump's trade deal

If there's more bills that she Democrats caved on, then let me know.

What should you take from this? The Democrats are not resisting Trump.

In fact they allowed for a great deal of his agenda to pass.

How a Trump Trade Pact Won Over Democrats

Over nearly a year of tumultuous negotiations, congressional Democrats and the Trump administration bridged what seemed to be an impassable divide.
