This is dead on.

The republicans had a majority in the legislature for quite some time, they didn't fix or really even propose legislation to overhaul healthcare, the border, immigration, federal agencies, taxes ( yeh they got thru a largely inept and benign tax reduction which will expire mid 2020's, they also failed to reduce government which is generally how you reduce deficits and increase growth while reducing taxes. Instead they're just ballooning our national debt).

The democrats have had a majority in one house for at least a couple of years now, and a president whose policy is ironically similar to the ideas espoused of the typical 1980's Democrat. There should be a lot of ground to work in reality. They've not proposed anything of substance, unless you consider the green new deal, which all the democrats in the Senate abstained from voting.

The truth is the none of them want to fix any problem facing the country...

-On immigration, the Dems want the easy votes. Repubs want cheap labor for their businesses.

-On tariffs, the dems have always loved tariffs and a majority of the Republican base and the president is now on board with them. They all decry the need for these tariffs for national security reasons, yet it is isn't such a security issue that they suddenly decide to postpone them until after Christmas. What a joke.

It's all a joke. Neither party wants to get anything done, impeachment talk gives politicians the opportunity to rally their bases, while they steal our money, freedoms, common sense and dignity.
