    My apologies for being unkind to your nephews. I have dozens of my own (I have a big family) and most of them are good but a few are definitely brats according to my definition.

    I get your interpretation and you are right, republicans are behaving like children. And like unruly children, they need a bit of discipline in order to make them listen. At first you attempt to persuade them with reason and logic that you try to teach them … but if they still won’t listen, then you have to gradually escalate the levels of discipline. I don’t believe in corporal punishment for children … but for republican politicians, I’d make an exception and publicly spank them for creating this completely insane political environment.

      No apologies necessary! Toddlers and “bratty” are synonymous. I wasn’t offended, merely making my point more clear.
