No, but it should.

[Lazamataz]

First confirmation on FR. :)

[Lazamataz]

I Tweeted Trump to rename the Nuclear Option the Harry Reid Option, his retirement gift.

I prefer remaing it the "One Eye Towards Progress Option".

^_^

[marktwain]

Maybe. Reid didn’t nuclear on SCOTUS tho.

Only because he never had the opportunity, after he went nucear.

Harrys name should be evoked are the beginning of every confirmation hearing.

[RKBA Democrat]

So why do we give a flying fig what the rat precedent was? Get rid of the filibuster for once and for all.

[MileHi]

That’s great.

I wish I didn’t suck at searching. I want Senate dem quotes about how a President “deserves” to have his SCOTUS picks confirmed, especially from Chuck U Shumer.

[FreeReign]

Needs to be extended to SCOTUS picks.

[Lazamataz]

You do realize that FR is now officially ahead of all Ministry of Propaganda Media outlets?

We were first with this news. OHHHH YEEEEAAHHHHH

[mountn man]

Who is a “controversial” pick by Trump?

According to the MSM and all liberals, anyone appointed by Trump.

It doesn’t really matter. Democrats have no morals, no shame, no ethics.

They will simply say: That was then, this is now!

[mountn man]

Karma’s a bitch.

So is Hillary.

You trust whomever you choose, but I for one have learned from their actions to trust not a single one of the 500+ in Congress. I wait until they cast their votes, and too often the republicants compromise away the principles we mistakenly assign to them. But they always make up a plausible excuse ...

[MHGinTN]

Eggs Ackley! The truth is not in any elected Democrat.

[A_perfect_lady]

The reason I was such a hardcore Trump backer is that I knew he’d fight with a knife in his loincloth, just like he’s doing.

That's not a knife, he was just glad to see you. ;)

[JamesP81]

It is past time we have an R who is willing to measure to the Dems the same measure they have used against us.

[GnuThere]

Yes, they try to be decent and expect the other side to reciprocate, like Lucy with the football. It doesn’t work, the Dims need to be ground down with the heel of a boot until they are part of the floor.

[WildHighlander57]

Ohhh, now if he retweets it...

Priceless!

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***instituted by Reid and the Democrats to get their more controversial appointments through. ***

DemoRATs hoist on their own petard.

Life is good.

[tumblindice]

The GOP-e should know they are still balanced on the edge of a knife. The party, excepting Rince (and it took him long enough) didn’t just fail to support Trump—they opposed him.

We swallowed our vomit for 8 years while our laws were ignored, the `rats rammed through their agenda and dunghill rooster Barry crowed “I won.”

Critters & assorted Hill capons—you’ve got both houses of Congress and the bully pulpit now. Cloture, use it.
Act like you’ve got a pair and get on with effecting the will of the sane half of the electorate, or you’re as history as the Whigs.
