Let's Wrap This Baby Up, Folks!
Using their “logic”, he is also screwing the Republican Senators who can’t go out and Campaign, right?
The Turtle Strikes!!!!
McConnell (Yurtle the Turtle) is probably doing this more to keep Trump from making any recess appointments than anything else.
McTurtle should put a dozen judges up for a vote every day.
I had a boss like that once. Seemed to think we should come to work every day and actually earn our pay. Man, I hate guys like that.
Libs are just mad because they didn’t think of it when they were in power.
I suspect that, when pols, especially dems, use the word “work”, they are re-defining the term. Everyday Americans actually work; pols, not so sure. Aides, definitely.
Don’t piss off the turtle.

If they want time to campaign then all they have to do is confirm Kavanaugh.
It’s their own damn fault - only reason they’re being held over is because they’ve been cynically stalling appointments. Now that the bill has come due they’re wanting to dine and dash.
The more time the DC swampthings stay in session, the better. The dems irrational antics are scaring undecided voters. Besides which the ‘pubs will have to pass stuff we care about if they plan to get reelected.
If the Demons are so upset, tell them to stop screwing around in the Congress.
If the democrats retake the Senate, Chuckie Schumer will never allow a single Trump nominee to make it to the Senate floor for a confirmation vote.
So the title of the article should read, “McConnell Shows That He Is Not Entirely Stupid By Making Democrat Senators Do Their Jobs.”
If the Dems had confirmed all of Trumps appointments they could go home
Keeping the Senate in session prevents the President from firing Jeff Sessions and making a recess appointment.
The entire deep state is protecting Jeff Sessions as he is the only one standing in the way of indictments for dozens of Obama criminals INCLUDING hillary.
IMO the President should blow all these turds out of the water and FIRE SESSIONS TODAY. Use the vacancies clause to appoint an Acting AG.
Everyone in the deep state is counting on the Dems taking the house and then firing sessions and ending the protection for the criminal deep state cabal will be impossible. The White house needs to wake up on this.
Imagine that, a Rat that has to work for a living!
Where was THIS headline when Schumer tried to delay the Kavanagh hearings using the 2:00pm rule, forcing McConnell to cancel floor work to keep the hearings going?
If anyone is screwing the other by forcing them to work longer, it's the Democrats who slow walked judicial confirmations and forced endless procedural delays that got us here.
Democrats played "chicken" with the clock, and are now blaming Republicans for not swerving at the last minute.

Ummm....aren’t they paid to work IN THE SENATE? They’re not paid to campaign! Their voting record should tell the tale!
