I can’t wait for the signing ceremony on this one.
And the signing statement! Imagine the possibilities …
Winning! Broke the legislative logjam! Now all kinds of significant (i.e., non-post-office renaming) legislation is flowing.
Thanks Mitch.
The Freedom Caucus in the House will say this unfairly ties the hands of a President that wants to shut down, er…bring to a fair and just closing, an investigation by a Special Counsel.
Don’t know if this one will fly like the sanctions bill.
Definitely feels like the screws are being turned on Trump.
McMaster’s firing Trump’s people willynilly at the NSC, Kelly is telling Sessions his job is safe, the Mooch is gone, the Coast Guard and DEA are openly defying Trump on the transsexual ban, Congress puts the cuff on him with the Russia sanctions…and all this in the past week!
I’ve never seen this level of disrespect towards the Chief Executive. And not from political enemies, but his own people!
President Trump has done something no other president in recent history has been able to do: drive bipartisan cooperation in the legislative branch.
Best.
President.
Ever.
Yeah, of COURSE I’m kidding.
Perhaps if any good comes out of a Trump presidency it will be the scaling back of the imperial presidency.
They’re frothing at the mouth over the prospect of President Q-Tip.
I won’t be surprised if it does. I think the worm has turned on Trump within the halls of Congress. The realization that Trump is not going to pivot, that he is actually damaging to the GOP trying to push through any legislative agenda, and that his popularity dropping isn’t going to turn around, is leading GOP Congress critters to what should have been the obvious out some time ago.
They need Mueller to produce a strong enough case, that it provides them the necessary cover to start impeachment proceedings. That doesn’t mean what appeals to us, it means what will be salable to their base.
Does anyone know if they will keep Congress in pro forma session?
Oh, wait. The Cockholster Crime Clan will be “on vacation.” Who knew the mob took R&R?!
I think that I shall never see
a Special Counsel as honest as Bob-by
An SC whose unquestioned honor is best
Against the Trump’s foul Russian nest
An SC that looked at Hillary once
And got returned his iffy hunch
An SC that may with Trumpies take
A Russian toll that’s hardly fake.
Poems are made by fools like me
But only Trump can take this pee…
Well, this should be a nice little test of who is still harboring at least some semblance of sanity and who has simply gone right off the goddamn deep end, Sponge Bob swimmies a-flailing.
I still haven’t picked my freaking jaw up of the floor after reading that piece. PP is somehow much crazier, much sicker than I’d ever imagined. This is as Chris Coons said, “Weapons grade bonkers”. He needs help.
I’ve read the Democrats will force that with a filibuster threat. And you get the feeling the GOP doesn’t want any stunts like a recess appointment anyway.
Hysterical Laugh No. 1 for the day!
Edit: I like this guy’s mindless defense of it…"“The president is a tough negotiator…" Really? Cuz what I just read sounded like begging and mewling from a queeny diva hahahaha
But it’s also “all about him”. What’s “bad” is what makes him look bad. Sure, he’s crazy, but its the most beautiful crazy. Also, where’d the Post get 'em? Did Priebus save copies?
Tillis has turned?! Yikes, Donnie really is screwed.
Trump is distrusted by both parties in Congress. He merely sparks less animus from the GOP because they need him. Their useful idiot. Let the bear out of the cage to balance a ball on his nose for the audience, then put him back in before he eats a baby or something.
