Now is the time to wreck their f***in’ s***, every last bit of it, into dust, all damn day long.

I'm with you. We should be kicking them in the nuts every chance we get, as hard as we can, as often as we can. They would damn sure be doing it to us.

I want to get one thing straight.

One Republican senator got his ego butthurt and is now in his 17th year or trying to get even with them, pretending to be one of us while looking for every opportunity to stab his party in the back. That senator is John McCain.

Even this past month, he’s passing fraudulent “dosiers” about Trump to our national security in hopes it will be leaked and derail Trump.

Another Republican senator got his ego butthurt during a hard-fought campaign and spent months pouting about it until he gradually chose to get back on board with the team and has since been a dependable ally of the conservative cause.

Just this past week, he was ripping Al Franken a new one while defending his good friend Jeff Sessions in his confirmation battle for Attorney General.

If you’re going to throw around the T-word, “traitor”, make no mistake who the real traitor in our midst is. It’s not Ted Cruz. It’s John McCain. If you can’t tell the difference, there’s no point in further discussing it.

Sure McCain is. We agree.

You and I see things very clearly when it comes to the threat Hillary Clinton represented to our nation.

None the less, between September 23rd and November 6th, Ted was AWOL.

Yes as it turns out, he did endorse Trump on the 23rd of September. It had been my understanding that here merely said he’d vote for the ticket. No, he went beyond that. This was the first I head heard of that. That’s how quietly he pushed his endorsement.

You honestly seen him making comments on September the 23rd, and on the 5th of November, and see that as him doing everything he could to make sure Hillary wasn’t elected.

I see that has him missing in action for perhaps the most important six weeks in our nation’s modern times.

I honestly believe that if Hillary had been elected, there probably wouldn’t have been enough left to pull our nation back together. The Left was consolidating their movement in terrible ways.

So I’m sorry you can’t see it, but I consider Ted being mute for that six weeks to be a traitorous act.

He just didn’t give a damn.

You didn’t do that. I didn’t do that. We were looking for any way we could to get Trump a better chance. We were in it to win it.

Explain it away to yourself. I’m not buying in.

The Dems wouldn’t hesitate to use the ‘nuclear option’ against the GOP if the rolls were reversed. So I say NUKE’em and NUKE’em good!

Trump Promises Supreme Court Pick Next Week As Cruz Threatens "Nuclear Option" To Bypass Dems

Hold on there, Sen Cruz. Did you clear that threat with senior Sen McCain (RINO-AZ) before making it?

*Ted is on Ted’s side.*

They all are on their own side and against doing what is right. They do what keeps them in power and fills their pockets. Donald Trump is one man who is not in this for himself. There are no lobbyists at his heals to satisfy. Law and order is being restored. Our borders are being protected. On and on it goes with this man Trump. He is doing exactly what he said he would.. and quickly!

The left is having a hard time with a man who keeps his promises... gets our nation in order.... is not afraid.... owes no one ... heard us and answered the call.

It was like a nation being set free, seeing the man and his family on January 20 ... a beautiful family ... having a new President step in and replace the corruption that is so rampant, no one thought it possible to find a way to drain that swamp! The naysayers.. the never Trumpers.... are not as loud this week... as President Trump goes into rapid action. This is unprecedented and a miracle.... a first.... and the media is in a state of shock. YES!!!

We could wait til the 2018 Midterms & get 60 Senators without using the Nuclear Option

If we don't get the 60 Senators then we'll use the Nuclear Option

Ah, another day, and someone posting some BS from Lyn’ Ted as if this will rehabilitate the liar. It ain’t happening and he has ZERO CREDIBILITY anywhere. While the Senate will act for President Trump, it will not be because of Lyn’ Ted. It will be despite him. At the end of the day, Lyn’ Ted is a serial liar and anything he does is simply for him. (And don’t flame me because I have no room for Lyn’ Ted, give him no credit when he does something aligned with President Trump. A broken clock is right twice a day, doesn’t make it any good. It is still broken. Lyn’ Ted is still a liar. Good riddance to him.)

Right before a major decision on unions? I think that narrows it down.

I expect that Trump’s approval rating will continue to skyrocket, and quickly. Even by next week RINOs may have to re-think their obstructionist ideas if only for their own preservation. If they vote against Trump it’ll be at their own risk.

And then there are Dems in blue states whose constituents went for Trump this election. They might be more inclined to support the President in voting.

God has been good to DJT, so he’s got that going for him.

I'm concerned about resorting to the nuclear option, but then I think that it didn't help us a single bit with Obama’s court picks, so what's the point of keeping it?

HUH???

The demonRATs used it during obama's court picks you numbnutz!!! We couldn't use it as we were in the MINORITY at the time.

Sit down, have another cuppa joe, think, then apologize to all FReepers for the dumbest single line of the week.
