What have McConnell and Ryan EVER done for Americans?

NOTHING. Except make themselves richer and
make Pres. Trump weaker.

With recesses and other business, it would take beyond the November 2018 elections to clear the current backlog which, of course, will never happen. Mitch must go.

So how long will it take to get all the judicial vacancies filled at thirty hours apiece? Can it be done in one four term? I can't see the Democrats and most of the Republicans allowing less than 30 hours and those procedures won't be end to end, but interspersed with everything else the Senate does.

Thanks for connecting the dots. The liar media also jumped in to support McConnell and make him seem a hero to conservatism.

This man is a menace.

So far the snake McConnell has only managed to have 7 of Trump’s judicial nominees confirmed and has a considerable BACKLOG of others awaiting confirmation. The duplicitous McConnell should be pressured into keeping the Senate in session 24/7. Yes, he could actually do that but will he? Not unless he wants to and he doesn’t appear to want to!

Senate continues a turtle’s pace.

Women and children most affected.

McConnell has been in Washington too long. He needs to go.

Note to McConnell on the Grassley blue-slip ploy: How stupid do you think we are?

Steve Bannon is correct. The “old guard” Bush-Republicans need to lose their jobs.

ALL Senate rules must be removed or reformed for the good of the people, not the Senate. Expediency should be a primary factor.

I’m hoping that McConnell has a “life-changing accident” sooner rather than later. Does he play baseball?
