Member of Congress Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calls out people in positions of  responsibility who do nothing about fixing problems (5 minutes)

Fellow blogforiowa.com writer Trish Nelson had a good review of Cassidy Hutchinson’s new best selling book on the inside workings of the Trump administration’s they set about attacking the government of the United States this week.  

While Hutchinson’s plaintive cry to stop those traitorous games within that administration there is a rising chorus throughout the country that WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH! ENOUGH of the purposeful throttling of government by MAGA Republicans as they refuse to do anything but cut taxes for the wealthy – the wealthy that need no help but who are the only ones that MAGAs work for.

This month we are seeing kids starve as meals are cut back at schools, as Medicaid is pulled from millions and as a corrupt Supreme Court gavels back into session to hand out even more victories to the wealthy who fund MAGA Supreme Court justices to lifestyles far beyond the justices means.

There are so many problems in this country it would take a book just to list them. It seems I write a similar column about every couple of months, but while we are in the interim between elections our pathetic media spends most of its time playing the circus side of politics and pay little to no attention to real issues.

As the climate burns (September goes out like middle of July), as America’s medical industry slides more and more into the hands of wealthy capitalists who have no desire to serve the health care needs of the country, as children starve while being taught that the prejudices of haters are American values, as our politicians grovel for bribes and as the price of housing sky rockets as we kill each other at the rate of 100 a day, and as race and gender are used to divide our country our media ignores real stories and play hours and hours a day of a traitor in such a way that makes him seem a hero.

We are coming off one of the worst days in American history as a Speaker of the House is fired by his own caucus for not being crazy enough and players on both sides of the MAGA party turn to blame the Democratic Party for not stopping the MAGAs for committing their public suicide. As this happens cameras give the MAGAs hour upon hour of media time as our country’s problems worsen.

If we keep electing people who are only concerned about stirring up the shit but will do nothing to clean it up, expect the shit show to get bigger and stinkier. MAGA congress members only want to stir up the shit. Donald Trump and the other dwarf MAGA presidential candidates are nothing but shit-stirrers with no practical ideas of how to fix problems but only how they can use the problems to funnel money to their supporters.

And at the base of the problem is how MAGAs are attacking the very democracy we live in as they work hard to block a huge percentage of the population from doing or having those votes count equally with those of their supporters. The very existence of democracy in this country is itself in danger of being removed from this country.

Josh Micah Marshall of talkingpointsmemo.com does a quick analysis of the current state of republicans as being accepted as bad and Democrats must fix their problems or the Democrats get blamed: 

We have all heard it over and over – when the bad boy MAGAs throw their temper tantrums and inflict real pain on us everyone expects the Democrats to be the adults in the room and make things better. 

ENOUGH of that! Let’s just elect adults to begin with. ENOUGH of the Miller-Meeks who do nothing but follow the MAGA dictates. ENOUGH of the Hinsons who take credit for programs she voted against. ENOUGH of the Joni Ernsts who have no clue what the issues are about – boy is she clueless. ENOUGH of the far right Randy Feenstra who is little more than Steve King in different clothes. ENOUGH of Zach Nunn’s ignorance.

ENOUGH of Brianna Bird and Kim Reynolds turning their religious beliefs into laws and policies that hurt Iowans.

Quit waiting for the adults to fix things – elect them to begin with and let’s start cleaning up some of the shit that MAGAs have spewed all over.
