As if you had no government and an elderly, crazed, despot in charge of everything.

They betray their oath of office.

Even through reconciliation, where Senate Dems can only proceduralize and delay. They couldn't stop it.

running through a major load of whaleshit.

Bastille Day in the US may be around the corner.........

Double Down DOJ isn't getting far.

has been totally worthless to the American people since the Big Orange Fascist Pig was installed anyway.

Stay home. You're just stinking up the Capitol building anyway, you rotten, gutless, punks.

He could do a lot in 14 days.

Either way, yes, we are doomed. We will survive Trump, but cleaning up his mess will take more years than I have left.
Republicans have redefined the very concept of corruption, may they all roast in Hell.

can only hope.

They haven't got the votes in the Senate to even pass it through reconciliation. Can't scrape together 50. In these dark times, I'll take small wins.

month long vacations like they do! Talk about a cushy job!

how to suck Trump off while appearing to care what ANYONE thinks

If they wanted to vote it down, they would just do it and then go on break. They always go on break and get threatened or bribed and come back voting for Trump again. We have seen this over and over and over. I would love to see it not happen but the disappointment has been too often.

Republicans take paid vacations

“The votes are not there,” one key GOP senator reluctantly conceded. “We will lose.”

This has nothing to do with procedural hurdles and everything to do with the fact that too many GOP senators don’t want to vote for this wildly unpopular idea in an election year.

But they won't. They're cowards. And they hate America. If they loved our country they would not allow Trump to shit on us every single day.
