Gross stupidity!!

Our foreign policy is in shambles as militant thugs from the Ukraine to Syria to Iraq to Yemen loot and kill. The climate continues to warm. US infrastructure continues to decay. The US middle class struggles economically, and income inequality continues to grow. We have unresolved issues from immigration to tax policy.

And so what do the newly-empowered Republicans take up first, as the single most important, most pressing national issue?  Abortion!  And with a bill they know probably couldn’t pass the Senate, let alone withstand a presidential veto.

The stupidity of this Republican party astounds me. Even measured against the gross incompetence of the Democrats over the past six years, this is about the stupidest maneuver I could imagine!

I fear for the future of the nation with people like this in charge in Washington.
