“The whole process being rigged against having a real conversation about tax cuts, the estate tax and the defense authorization. We’re not having a lot of those conversations. It’s just a symptom of Washington being broken.”

I thought Obama fixed it ???

"This dimwitted RAT is just figuring that out?"

And there is nothing he can do at all? Senators are completely and totally powerless? They are all pawns? Who knew?

Thanks for the ping!

I need to step away from the keyboard for a while.

There's an ammo sale down the road, and I'm going to go clean them out.

I think 20 round boxes of .308 softpoints make excellent stocking stuffers.

Which reminds me, I've got to update my Naughty Stockings list. It keeps growing.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

“It’s all rigged.”

Always has been. Always will be.

Childress fired, Willie Nelson arrested for pot use, and now we learn that Senate “debate” is rigged.

I don’t know if my heart can take any more of these surprises.
