Ever notice since the day McSh!tStain died that everything started to get better in the Senate?

It was like a personification of the Deep State was buried.

I have been noticing that. It’s more than just a vote changing.

Yes, I believe that to be the case as well. His passing lifted a great weight off the Senate and things are happening in a much more positive way.

These very hearings were delayed when they delayed Kavanaugh (which was all part of the plan).

Well, they can’t complain now!

I hope Feinstein loses to the wacko in CA!

Well done! It’s become ever more obvious, that the Democrats won’t negotiate in good faith or even ascend to “civility.”

So the fight is on. Go!

McStain was the one who organized the “bipartisan” opposition to conservatism. With him gone, the RINOs have no leadership to keep them in line.

Yup. Even Linda grew a pair.

My God, she is almost the identical twin of one of my neighbors. When I first saw that picture I took a major double-take.

Grassley has finally learned the tried and true Democrat tactic of moving the goalposts. I love it.

Bipartisanship blows. Damn the poor weirdos! Full steam ahead.

There is no real difference between DiFi and the Mexican commie she is running against. Since they are both Rats, and there is no Republican in the race, all Republicans should vote for DiFi’s Mexican opponent and retire that harridan.

No goalposts moved. Just implementation of an agreement.

Had to lookup “harridan.” But that term sure fits the old hag.

“If there was ever any hope that after the Kavanaugh experience we could return to bipartisanship on the Senate Judiciary Committee, it was shaken this morning,” said Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois.”

Turban Durbin is feigning outrage because he feels Grassley stole a page out of Turban’s own book.

Empty chairs. Haha.

I am so disappointed no punitive action was taken against those who violated rules of the Senate.

It's about time that the GOP started stomping on the vermin and their politics...

DiFi’s replacement would have no seniority in the Senate. Another bonus.

But but but Grassley said he would hold up confirmations before a presidential election - which of course was a dirty lie!

Now Grassley is double crossing Democrats: stay away and look bad, come back howl and look worse.

Elena Kagan had never been a judge before. Spare me the “insufficient experience” excuse.

Bravo to Senate Republicans. The Democrats have stalled confirmations of executive branch and judicial nominees long enough. Ram ‘em through.
