The Senate

I swear, the stupid party on full display. Two stories from Drudge.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is tempering expectations that the Senate will pass an overhaul of the nation’s healthcare system, promising his colleagues a vote but not success.
The single largest wedge issue the idiots have been running on for eight years, the ticket that got most of them elected in the last two elections. Now? PSYCHE, suckers.
and
Vladimir Putin a bigger threat than Islamic State, John McCain says
Has McCain ever seen a war he didn’t want? Outside of fighting Democrats, that is. Russia isn’t blowing up little girls at concerts you jerk. Russia is laughing at you orchestrating your attempt at a palace coup out of bitterness that blustering Trump did what you twice failed to do.

  1. All politicians are your enemy. Always have been. Always will be. The premise that “public service” is a career choice is where the problem begins. Once it’s your career, self interest kicks in.
    Anyone who is a career politician or civil servant, is your enemy. That is how it was designed to work. It is a feature not a bug.

  2. What is surprising? Mitch McConnell conceded control of the Senate to Harry Reid & Obama after Republicans won the Senate…..
    Mitch has slow rolled (held up) Trumps exec picks..He is “not” a leader for America. The Republican Senate better get moving, or 2018 will be the last not won by the “existing” Republican party…Trump needs to consider becoming Independent & supporting a third Party option… The Swamp is full of vermin
    The Neo-Con tribe McCain, Lindsey Graham, & the Media are in lock step with the leadership of Germany (Merkel). After 2 world wars the indecency of German criticism on Memorial day is beyond the pale….Merkel needs to shut her pie hole & give her butt a chance.

  3. I think Trump and crew should get themselves involved in purging some long-term senators who won’t get on board during nominations next year. Unfortunately McCain will be around to January 2023 despite being hopelessly senile.

  4. How is McCain able to win primaries at all. If I were American I’d move to his electoral district just to oust him.

  5. The ollllllddddddd GOPers … still … believe they are relevant. Not so. The PEOPLE have taken back America. But we know that fascist power will not be given up easily. We know that both RED and BLUE swamp bugs need to be squashed. We ALMOST squashed BOTH these bugs last election. No worry, they’re both lame ducks … self marginalizing themselves.

  6. Congressional Republicans lost their spines sometime in the late 1990s – when the Clinton impeachment blew up on them I think – and never got them back, if you ask me. They’re much happier being in opposition than having to govern. Then they can bloviate on any topic they want, safe in the knowledge they don’t actually have to do anything about it, and can watch the Democrats continue to steer America into the ditch – which is where the congressional Republicans actually want to go but don’t dare say so. Mostly because said Repubs are utterly beholden to their big-business masters, and none of them want anything to do with conservatism.
    As for McCain, if he ever actually had any decency or self-respect, he’d have resigned from politics after losing to Obama and gotten the hell off the stage. He never even really wanted to beat Obama anyway. He just wanted his “turn” at the presidential nomination that he thought Bush stole from him, so he could run an “honourable” campaign and lose.

  7. The truth about that traitor Juan McLame (and a whole lot of others, including John “Lurch” Kerry, Kissinger and Nixon) on how they conspired to bury the truth about the MIA’s left behind in ‘Nam.

    McCain was the point man for all of it. 
    RTWT. Especially if you live in AZ. That bastard Wet-Start should be thrown out of office BAMN. 

  8. McCain is right. ISIS could be wiped out in a matter of days. Pootinistan is an existential threat of the western civilization that build the core of its own indemnity on opposing the Occident. It will be so until they are torn apart by own their pisslamic revolution, Islam is flourishing under Pootin. The biggest mistake the west has ever made was not nuking the Siberian Mongols to dust after WWII.
    “Islam is an outstanding element of Russia’s cultural makeup, an integral, organic part of our history,” ~ Vova Pootin
    “Some analysts of Christianity say Orthodoxy is in many respects closer to Islam than to the Catholics,” ~ Vova Pootin (truer words were never spoken btw).

  9. McCain is the most anti-Trump Senator or Congressperson there is despite being a Republican.
    It goes back to Trump’s comments about McCain being captured in Vietnam and that is the only reason he is considered a war hero.
    They have had a vendetta against each other ever since and McCain’s comments at any time have to be taken in that context. He is determined to bring Trump down regardless of party affiliation.

  10. “The biggest mistake the west has ever made was not nuking the Siberian Mongols to dust after WWII.”
    The biggest mistake the west has ever made was not nuking the Siberian Mongols to dust after during WWII. FIFY
    Why wait?
