You asked why am I astonished, and I certainly see the Dems problems as going back a long way, to at least the Reagan era. But nobody can compare the admitted criminal acts and obvious lies of the current administration to any former government in the history of the U.S. It would be easy, given the will to do it, to impeach many top officials, hold criminal trials, and convict them using their own words as evidence. Nixon was toppled by his lack of credibility, yet these bums have done and said far worse. Yet not only are the Democrats unable to hold them to account for their crimes, they can't even stop them from shoving through unpopular legislation. The weakness they are showing, given that they actually have the upper hand, is, in my mind, unparalleled. That's why I'm astonished. How could they be any weaker? I just can't imagine.
