I’ll believe it when it actually happens.

Or maybe not even then.

This is a smoke screen, they are running scared. They have set back and watched as obumber’s people used the full surveillance capabilities of the United states to spy on an opposition candidates campaign. The did nothing when potentially embarrassing or highly confidential information was released to the press from this illegal surveillance, or watched as the obviously partisan former head of the fbi testified that he leaked information that would lead to the appointment of a sc. Now they say nothing after that sc has raided the private attorney of POTUS, on an obvious fishing expedition.

How about just do it and immediately push through all of Trump’s pending nominees?

Excellent. Long overdue, but better late than never.

...reinstate a temporary rules change made by Democrats in 2013 that reduced debate time from 30 hours to eight hours...

Goose meet Gander! That's if McTurtle will allow it!

These changes and any others that are “under consideration” would be awesome. Dem’s get a taste of their own medicine, for once. But, there’s alwasy a, But.

But, with people like Lankford and Cornyn supporting such a thing, I’m wondering why they’re so eager, finally.

- some big-money folks back home have had a little, chit chat, with these two and have ordered them to get things moving

- they’re trying to protect themselves

- setting themselves up for their re-election bids to show how much they helped the President

- or Schumer didn’t give either one a ‘reach around’ one night and they’re mad

Heck, it only took them 15 of the first about twenty months of the first half of Trump’s first term to figure this out.

I address it this way because around the end of November the recesses leave very little work time late in th year.

I’ll say it again, I would HATE to be in a foxhole with members of this Congress considering their inability to recognize their duty in the midst of conflict, and take it to the enemy.

They are trying to throw out a little bone today to GOP voters. They were forced to come out into the open to back Mueller, in support of their RAT allies, after the fiasco of Mueller raiding Trump's lawyer's home and office.

Mueller knows he has RINO rats support for everything, so he is going full speed regardless of legality.

The glacial, geriatric Senate is completely disfunctional. And almost impossible to change. Gotta get rid of the turtle! What happened to the book detailing McConnell’s family getting rich from the Chinese? He needs to be hammered on that, to start.

Why do they even need 8 hours of debate? It only takes a few minutes to vote.

If they want 30 hours to interview a nominee, then fine. Put ALL the currently pending nominees in offices in the capital. Lawmakers who want to drop in and chat with them, may do so. At the end of the week, hold a rapid series of votes on each. Done.

reinstate a temporary rules change made by Democrats in 2013 that reduced debate time from 30 hours to eight hours for most executive branch nominations and from 30 hours to two hours for lower judicial branch nominations.

How long did this “temporary” change last? Probably until Republicans retook the Senate. It should have been reinstated as soon as PDJT was inaugurated.
