It is amazing that ANYONE could think that made up voice could be credible.

I stood it for only five minutes and was searching for the comfort of fingers on a chalkboard.

“Yes, I agree, and hopefully we’ll get more out of the next Congress than we did this one. Pitiful...”

I was reading a list of the Trump agenda items accomplished the other day and it is really impressive. Congress was responsible with a large amount of the list of accomplishments. They need to get credit.

I think we all went through that. Blasey Ford testified and it looked bad. A friend even remarked "We lost".

But then Kavanaugh came on, and WOW was it OBVIOUS he was hurt and angry he had been falsely impugned.

Collins may be a RINO, but she did the ABSOLUTE RIGHT THING HERE.

I agree. I'm heartened to see that she was fairminded.

Looking back now, I think Flake did the right thing, even if his motives were less than noble.

The fact is, without that investigation, we would have lost not only the vote, but in the court of public opinion, and it would have been disaster for the midterms.

Did they:

Fund the wall?

Cut funds to Planned Parenthood?

Cut funds to PBS and NPR?

Reduce any of the massive spending to member’s districts?

Will we balance the budget off Trump’s tax cut and resulting increase in revenues, or will they simply spend more?

I could go on.

What they do is trot out things to make folks think they’ve just been slaying it.

Then the big things we vitally need... NOTHING!

McConnell gets credit for the record number of judges that have been approved. What goes unsaid are the numbers of judges not approved. One took over a year to move. Seriously, one full year. What goes unsaid is the wait time for those who are nominated before being affirmed. Trump has made many appointments. They’re still not installed.

Mitch is slow-walking everything. Ryan hasn’t had a clue since day one of being selected to the leadership in the House. He did at least gather forces to pass the Tax Bill, so I’d have to moderate that comment a bit.

They’ve had two years in which they could have had their own way on anything. This is all they came up with.

We could see eight years pass, with very little truly impressive legislation being passed, if this continues.

That Tax bill was the only large piece of legislation they’ve moved in two years. On this track, we get four large bills in eight years. Does that sound good to you?

We should have had between six and ten impressive pieces of legislation by now. That’s how you roll back Leftist encroachment.

McConnell and Ryan seem perplexed to find anything of substance to do.

We’ve waited at least 30 years for some things, and probably more like 80 for others. These guys had no list ready.

Ryan: Well Mitch, what’s next?

McConnell: Oh I don’t know. What do you think?

Ryan: Oh, I don’t know. We’ll come up with something eventually...

I read this earlier in the Summer and was duly impressed. There are quite a few enacted by Congress. The President has a list of strong supporters in Congress and we need to build on that. http://www.magapill.com/

Too bad China Mac and Company destroyed Roy Moore and lost us SES-sions’ seat: a two-fer for the UniParty.

But hey, the cookie-cutters are now praising the Swamp Turtle (the same guy who also destroyed Chris McDaniel).

It’s amazing the stupidity of the people that believed every word Ford said. Chris Wallace, the biggest idiot of all.

The people that do this are called LIBERALS.

Was Romney being two faced? I thought he said he would support Kavanaugh?
