ā€œholding hearingsā€ and ā€œadditional measuresā€

Butch, if you try to take my lunch money tomorrow, since you already have todayā€™s lunch money, Iā€™m going to hold hearings and recommend some additional measures.

Imagine congress overturning a Trump veto of a future Russian sanctions bill.

Just kidding

So Trump can drag his feet again and do nothing? Why?

They already sent Trump over there to thank him. What other additional measures are they considering? Baking cookies?

McConnellā€™s afraid this latest shitshow will negatively affect that SCOTUS nomination. Heā€™ll do the bare minimum to get that confirmation secured.

Is there an ill wind blowing from Kentucky? If Putin polled popular in that state, Turtle wouldnā€™t be doing this.

I tend to think Yertle is semiserious about this. Naturally heā€™d prefer to just make harrumphing noises until Dumpā€™s treason gets subsumed by a new scandal, but the threat of new sanctions on Pootie does make for a mighty fine hammer to hold over Dump to make him behave himself until the elections.

Additional blocking ā€“ like when he blocked them from joining President Obama to fight Russia as it was in the very act of hacking the 2016 election?

Translation: ā€œWe must make sure we start this critical process a year late and take our time so that no counter-measures will take effect before the 2020 elections.ā€

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Thursday that heā€™d asked the chairmen of the Senate Banking and Foreign Relations committees to ā€œrecommend to the Senate additional measures that could respond to or deter Russian malign behavior.ā€

Meanwhile, McConnell and his GOP Senate and House colleagues, continue unabated in their Confederate Dixiecrat Southern White Nationalist Malign Behavior.

The only measure needed is impeaching the SOB. But they are afraid that Limbaugh and Hannity are going to say mean things about them.

And heā€™s too high off an impending Supreme Court nomination to probably see much of anything else.

Yeah, that, and protecting Mueller.

Yeah I know heā€™s anti-telegenic and not someone they want to have on their shows, but when will the MSM ever hold that evil man, the traitorous man, the man whoā€™s abused his power to destroy the American institutions, accountable? Heā€™s gotten just too many, too many passes for all the malicious actions heā€™s taken.

ā€œThe Intelligence Community Assessment of Russian Activities in the 2016 elections makes clear that President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign aimed at undermining public faith in our democratic process,ā€

The Assessment was issued in January 2017. Why the sudden rush to act now, Mitch? What changed? Hmmm?

Iā€™m pretty sure there are some ā€œstrongly worded lettersā€ still floating around that can be sent pronto. They must have a file of them that they can fill in the blanks.

Way to go, Turtleman, way to close the barn door after the horse is gone.
