Trade up for new people who care about working for us rather than themselves. As is, the lousy cronies not only keep coming back they get rewarded.

Pelosi - House Speaker AGAIN!
Waters - the biggest fool in Congress is in charge of banks! She went from provoking riots in 94' to managing US financial institutions? HTH does that happen?





It's INSANE!

How do you propose to remove turtle head McConnell ?

The solution for the Democratic Party is to win some more senate seats. It would help if Dem. senators would refrain from tarring and feathering a SCOTUS nominee over accusations made with zero evidence.
Awe. I see. It s payback is payback as Lindsey Graham announced..." Sneering and gnashing his teeth at the kavenaugh circus ,"I can't wait til y'all are in power"

Nothing to do with runnin a country.
Just runnin a war against each other and takin a paycheck and giving themselves raises while taking jobs away from " other" federal workers.

Exactly! And by not allowing a vote McConnell is thumbing his nose at the idea of every American having representation in Congress, the question is if there are enough GOP cojones in Congress to call him out on it?

I remember a KY coal miner at one of Bernie's post election town halls who said he never thought some liberal for Vermont would do more for him than his own KY Senator. It was when they were voting on some kind of black lung benefits or something. . .


Mitch McConnel doesn't give one crap about the people in KY. I think many of them - once they get up that high - totally forget about their home state and that occurs on both sides of the aisle.

Probably never happen, not enough Congressmen concerned with actually doing their job.

Mitch and President Trump became pals during the Kavanaugh confirmation process, so the Dems can take credit for that new bond. The Dems lost a lot of future votes from moderates and Independents during that stunt too.

Tonight, President Trump will point out that Dem leaders spoke out for and voted for funding for a barrier in years past, and that will be more egg on Dems faces.

The Dems keep losing credibility w/ all their hatefulness and mean-spirited politicking that doesn't put America first.

If Nancy can't get Cortez to pipe down on the radical Socialist rants, your pain will continue.

Yep, children running the Executive and Legislative branches, may as well go for broke and put kids on the SCOTUS too! I'm glad I'll be in an urn by the time we reach the inevitable result.
