Relax. Grassley has blunted the actions of Trump-haters and bill-sponsors like Linda Graham and Thom Tillis a number of times with political maneuverings. Looks like that’s what he’s up to here too.

He can count votes, both in the Judiciary Committee and in the Senate, and he acts accordingly to steer things his direction.

He has a constituency.

Let’s see if the hayseeds that keep voting for him will do anything other than pretend like they care.

That was what I was wondering. How can that be Constitutional?

It is not even a constitutional idea and Grassley knows that.

I, too, believe the Republicans enjoy the role of "The Loyal Opposition".

How many Americans would actually refer to Pelosi, Schumer, et. al. as my good friend?

Let’s get this over with. Trump should throw down and fire Mulehead and then request/demand an immediate impeachment vote. Congress can put up or shut up. HE WILL WIN the balless Congress will never vote to impeach and the craven Senate will NEVER vote to convict.

Seeing things like this makes me wonder if there is extensive arm twisting and both overt and implied blackmail of people going on.

Is Grassley a pedophile or thief?

If this is a bill, requiring Trump’s signature, I am sure he will veto it.
________________________________

Do they have another bill abolishing the requirement that the President sign legislation into law?

Special Counsel is a joke, not just this one.

FISA shouldn’t exist. It will be continuously abused.

Do your job and let the President do his. If you think he should be impeached, go for it, losers.

The Witch Hunt Protection Act of 2018.

Courtesy of your Grand Old Party.

Spit.

Further proof that there is no decernable difference between the DNC and GOP. There are a few exceptions but there are very few patriots left.

These idiots want to lose in November. This is an undeniable fact. I will not vote for anyone who supports this. Ever again. That includes new 2018 candidates like our governor in Florida. If he does anything but criticize this he is solidifying my staying home after his gun capitulation.

It is difficult to keep the players straight when both teams wear the same uniform.

Republicans really do want to lose the next election, don’t they?


It certainly seems that way.

Disgusting, isn’t it? Two-faced snakes, throughout DC.
