Breitbart.com ^ | December 17, 2015 | Neil Munro

Posted on 12/18/2015 5:50:07 AM PST by Tareli

With a mere 68 seconds of almost incomprehensible Senate legalese, the two top Republican and Democratic leaders together blocked any budget amendments, televised debate and roll-call votes over the myriad unpopular or popular, effective, dysfunctional or counterproductive measures in the $1.1 trillion 2016 omnibus spending plan.

Between the focus on terrorism (and the current weakness) and the economy and government spending (and the current insanity), The Donald will come out looking like the best choice, again.

We need to be calling our Reps in the House demanding Ryan’s removal.

Ryan is growing his Islamic beard.

Just whose side do you think he’s on??

Hint: it isn’t JUST the Democratic side.

It seems McConnell and Reid teamed up in the Senate to shut down discussion.

Why should any member of the GOP ever be trusted?
Why?

They covered up Benghazi.
They INITIATED the IRS abuse and then cover it up.
They protected TREASON.
They lied about ObamaCARE.
... in fact THEY created it, as RomneyCARE.
They protected SECRET ObamaTRADE.
They ignored IRAN’s arming along with al Qaeda,
... except when they help create ISIS.

WHY?

The GOP can never be trusted.
Even Obama the Undocumented Moslem is more truthful.

Trump certainly sounds Presidential with that statement.
Reaganesque even.

A clear demonstration that my vote for an establishment Republican is a wasted vote.

Many others feel the same way - which is why Donald Trump is doing so well in the polls.

They step into a cow patty during a hot ‘G’ OP primary and then they light themselves with gasoline.

JV team.

Anyone who still doubts that McConnel is a traitor should watch this CSPAN clip.

Well I certainly feel better that we went to the effort to have the repubs gain control over the house and senate to help protect us from legislation like thi............. Oh. Never mind.

Guess there aren’t enough sets of ‘nads’ up there to say, “Shut it down then because I will NOT vote for something I can’t review!” Purty disgusting.

The more they do this kind of thing, the more a rapid solution makes sense:

Constitutional Excoriation.

Clean up DC! Quick, and easy. Just spread the word and ask for key primary challenges each election cycle.

Yes and they waited until there were no senators on the floor who would raise an objection, i.e., Cruz or Sessions.

Trump is going to shake up DC, big-time. He already called for a criminal investigation of Hillary if fuzzy memory serves.
