Uh huh. Well, I’m a former strawberry picker and I love the guy. The difference between me and a former Senator is that I worked for my money.

Sadly, under their tenure, America continued its precipitous and dangerous departure from the ideas and principles underlying and undergirding its Constitutional protections for individual liberty and national security. Now, they are worried?

“We all took an oath swearing allegiance to the Constitution.”

Yeah, so did my President — He took an oath swearing allegiance to the United States Constitution, against all enemies foreign and domestic...So lead, follow, or get the “F” out of the way you losers!!!

By the way, only the limp wristed, pants wetting, window lickers care what the 44 anti Trump a-holes think.

They have shown who they support and it ain’t America!!!

I would not use Lowell Weiker’s name to criticize anyone.That clown couldn’t even run the state of Connecticut.Well,He ran it.He ran it into the ground.

He wrecked Connecticut so badly he implemented an income tax overnight,Connecticut hasn’t recovered since.

The reason these 44 senators are “former,” is because they don’t know the difference between a democracy and a republic.

They’re no longer in office. Why should we give a rat’s rear end about what retired politicians have to say, clue me in.

Most of being Democrats. They can go fly a kite.

Someone should educate them to the fact that we are not a "democracy," rather we are a "constitutional republic." Mob rule don't cut it, losers.

If you listen closely, you can heat the frogs crooning for their lost Swamp as they dessicate and shrivel.

I didn’t see any mention of the President. I didn’t see anything but platitudes.

Ignore.
