Can’t wait for the “deal” where Democrats give the GOP everything they want based on a pinky swear that they’ll hold a future vote on something they know is doomed to fail and they never had any intention of following anyway, while Chuck Schumer touts it as a “victory” and says that the alternatives being offered were worse, so what could he do?
Again.
Our Senate minority leader is a spineless, feckless coward. And his counterpart in the House is no better.
Welp looks like we’re getting a shutdown after all
While that’s going on, Don Lemon, who used to be on CNN got arrested today. So, for those of you blaming the Dems for why Trump won the election, do you now even believe the Dems are responsible for why Don Lemon got arrested?
They’ll cave.
Lindsay Graham out here arguing for putting Trump and his administration in jail via the argument of “Ignoring the law should be criminal.”.
This guy sucks.
Isn’t that how subpoenas work? The target doesn’t need to be informed?
My Pillow?
So – if Graham wants to allow people to go after Smith because he was investigating that means that discovery could put everything he has out there, right?
