It looks like a Kindergarten game of “Mother May I?””

Perhaps because it really is nothing more than that.

“They will be dismissed once the change is finished.”

I think many of them are scrambling to ‘vote’ in the way the ones implementing ‘the change’ would approve of, in hopes of retaining their lifestyles upon its full implementation.

"You Union suckers who voted Democrat now ought to understand that union jobs take a back seat to enviromentalist extremism"

Yah and jobs take a back seat to Illegal Immigrant Amnesty too. With our country being flooded with desperately poor people from the Third World willing to work for the lowest of wages under any conditions - there won't be any need for unions.

"Do like the Beatles. Send him a new bill "eight days a week" until he signs it."

That's not going to happen- he will never sign it.

However, making the dems vote repeatedly against an override of the vetoes would inform their constituents that they, in reality, do not want jobs for Americans- regardless of what they may have said during their campaigns.

This can be helpful in future elections.

“”But Democrats who oppose the $8 billion Canada-to-Texas project say they’re confident Obama would continue to nix legislative attempts to approve the pipeline.””

Good grief....they’re confident???? Of course they are! That’s as sure a thing as buying a rigged lotto ticket. How could they lose? They made a deal with the devil a long time ago. They continue to toe this line even tho’ Hillary’s state department cleared the way and approved the pipeline years ago.

“”The railroads are getting hammered now about railroad tanker cars...not being safe enough.””

With Buffett’s railroad in the mix hauling the tankers, there won’t be anything done to hurt him. Pays to have friends in high places!

Five votes short?

Good enough. Deem Buckwheat’s veto cancelled.

Buckwheat doesn’t obey the US Constitution, so neither should congress.

Next step: dust off the 1867 Reconstruction Act and strip Buckwheat of his role as commander in chief.

Did the retarded GOPee do any messaging, especially in states where the pupils support was strong and the rat representatives weak? No.

You union suckers who voted Democrat now ought to understand that union jobs take a back seat to environmentalist extremism.

They don't have to become Republicans, but simply being die-hard Democrats is suicidally stupid. Wake up unions! The Democratic Party is no longer your friend.

Seriously the GOP should refuse to confirm any nominees and refuse to fund a damn thing until Obama drops amnesty, the ammo ban, Internet takeover, etc.
Should also withhold until the pipeline is approved.
As long as they fear the bad press of the fake shutdowns they will never win a single showdown with the white hut.
That’s my take anyway.

I can’t blame Republicans for Keystone XL. They’ve done what they could do under the constraints the Constitution places on them.

What else can be done?

What can be done? Oh, woe is me! What can be done! All is lost! Surrender now!

Well, the GOP can man up and...

But, woe, woe! There's nothing they can do!

Of course, the current leadership in the legislative branch are of the same mindset as you, so Woe! Woe!

Clearly the Zero one has enough sub-par scores to meet the test.

It’s all Kabuki. McDonnell, McCain and the rest of the Pants-down RINO’s in the Senate don’t want Americans having jobs any more than Barky the Dogeater does.
