Sen. Thune: Nuclear Option Will Stand, No Denying Trump Picks

Until we see the actual process take place, we reserve the right to doubt that McConnell will do the intelligent thing and use Reid’s rules against the Democrats. The GOP warned Reid when he used the Nuclear Option that he would live to regret it, so let’s carry through and make Reid accountable for that consequence. Otherwise, it was just another empty threat by the GOP.

SHUT YOUR MOUTH! I’m not sick of winning yet.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

This would mean McConnell grew a pair. We need this verified before any high-fives.

[crz]

Well as the saying goes...what goes around..

[Lazamataz]

[Lazamataz]

I think Thune mighta gone rogue and put McConnell in the trick bag.

[xzins]

Excellent. And it should stand.

Being honest, we know it would have been used with Supreme Court Justices had Obama had just a 50-50-1 lead in the Scotus this past year.

No doubt in my mind.

Extend it to Scotus justices.

“Hoisted by their own partard...”

Yeah....and as that great wordsmith Billy Bob Shakespeare once wrote “ tis not deep, but twill serve”

: )

Is carrying a knife in your loincloth really such a good idea? I mean you should only be circumcised once right?

[mazda77]

I want to say the Chow was insurance. He will let her succeed or fail on her own after it is all over.

[Lazamataz]

While I agree with you, I doubt it will happen (for SCOTUS).

[exit82]

Dems hoisted by their own retard.

Some more background from two days ago:

Senate Dems, powerless to stop Trump nominees, regret 'nuclear option' power play

[tennmountainman]

Who is a “controversial” pick by Trump?

[Obadiah]

Trumpism is like taking a national gulp of Ipecac after ingesting 8 years of poisonous liberalism.

[TADSLOS]

America has spoken LOUD AND CLEAR. I certainly EXPECT Congress to use every advantage that has been laid in their lap.

It's RESET time.

[Mercat]

Is the turtle Mitch? Because he did already say pretty much the same thing.

Dear Dingy:

Be careful what you wish for.
What goes around, comes around.
Karma’s a bitch.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Try anything else, Republicans, and you’re committing political suicide.

[Red Badger]

Good. It came back to bite them in their prodigious posteriors, just like we said it would.
They have no one to blame but themselves..............
