TU: Did Shelby vote to confirm him?
Yes, Shelby did vote to CONFIRM this tax cheat. How do you "love" him now???
Shelby is nothing but a wishy-washy dumbass.
I don’t know if I have confidence in anyone in Congress.
At this point the lights ought to be going out in those halls! The American people better wake up fast, I mean yesterday!
If they were a private business, they would be out of business and most of them in prison.
