Senate Votes To Gag Elizabeth Warren After Anti-Sessions Outburst
Zero Hedge ^ | Feb 7, 2017 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 02/08/2017 12:28:59 AM PST by Trump_vs_Evil_Witch

ollowing a scathing speech against Trump's nominee for Attorney General, Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell said Senator Elizabeth Warren had "impugned the motives and conduct of our colleague from Alabama," violating the so-called 'Rule 19'. By a vote of 49-43, Senator Warren was then barred from speaking on the floor until Senator Sessions nomination debate is complete (likely tomorrow evening)....

McConnell defended the decision, noting Warren had been warned.

"Sen. Warren was giving a lengthy speech. She had appeared to violate the rule. She was warned. She was given an explanation," he said after the vote. "Nevertheless, she persisted."

If my dreams were to come true i won’t be living in Alaska except maybe from june to aug. I keep getting visions of a grassy estate looking out towards the ocean. A property with a modest home in Hawaii.

Been having these dreams for the last year now.

Living right now just north of Wasilla for 25 years.

So what’s really behind them going so loco? Are their skeletons bulging against the closet doors? Do they know Sessions is heading toward a banquet of Democrat indictments? What?

“Living right now just north of Wasilla for 25 years.”

We used to have amazing weekend-long parties at Big Lake. When the lake froze, we’d drive from bar to bar (one was on an island, IIRC) to continue the party. (It was the ‘80s.)

Then I moved to Maui where I met my husband where I lived for three years. Hawaii’s weather was the best, but Alaska was more interesting and fun.

Now if republicans can resist the urge to defend themselves (because they do not need to) I will be happy.

Sometimes silence (with a smirk) is the best response.

No known donations taken.
