I guess that he really does want to see Chuckwad Schumer become Senate Majority Leader.

Notice he didn’t say they will pass any laws. He just said it will be front and center.

Yeah B*tch. Don’t get too exuberant. You’re about to completely destroy the party (and what’s left of America)if you play this wrong.

Frankly, in a world without instant news, both of those shootings would be “distant” events. They didn’t happen in my country so, as far as I’m concerned, they could have happened in Beirut. The local politicians can deal with the quality of the character of their citizens.

BTW, my country is Kentucky. It is part of a union of 50 countries that have a few qualities in common, but they are all different. The only thing they share is an overarching constitution. Kinda like the EU.

Why, of course they are!

Dogs bark.
Cats claw your furniture.
Republicans cave on what they pretend are core values.

They will lose if they go down this path.

I don’t care - kowtowing even this much to the leftists without calling them out on their anti-American ideals is too far.

Would Nancy Pelosi say that anti-abortion legislation is front and center? Hell no - she’d be defending her ideology and pushing back.

We don’t even get that - just capitulation.

This means war.

I won’t bother to contact Toomey since he’s pushing it. The good news is that he’ll be shown the door next election, the bad news is this will damage DJT.

The question is whether the GOP is going to support it or whether they are just trying to bait the Dems to support it. I suspect some of the GOP will support it. Maybe enough to pass it. The Dems only need 4 GOP votes.

I hope that you are right.

About 15% if the time Mitch strikes me as really shrewd.

The other 85% of the time he exemplifies what I expect of the leadership of the GOP, which is about what I expect of the Washington Generals (the Harlem Globetrotters perennial opponents).

Strange, coming from someone who faced a death threat chanting mob in front of his house.

So is McConnell “the Grim Reaper of Socialism” as he claims? Or is he “Moscow Mitch” like the Democrats have named him? How he moves on this issue will decide which he is.
