my breath, but hoping.

He was the nail in the coffin after the Tea Party.

"After the end of the Cold War, he said, “tribal politics were introduced by Newt Gingrich when he came to Congress 40 years ago,” and then perfected by Mitch McConnell during the Barack Obama presidency, when McConnell declared his intention to use his G.O.P. Senate caucus to make Obama fail as a strategy for getting Republicans back in power."

distributed to all senators, one to each office, and they've been given a 1-hour deadline to review it?

also I've edited the OP to reflect other sources saying that each party will be able to view the document in one hour increments, not one hour total. An hour for the Republicans, then an hour for the Democrats, then the document goes back to the Republicans, etc.

Clearly a F-ed up process.

There aren't enough hours in the time left for all Senators to fully review that sole copy of the truncated background check. They are in full rush mode.

Just 1 copy period, according to msnbc just now.

Give it to the Post. No rules means no rules.

We are relying on her not giving a shit about any "rules".

Fuck em.

Let him bitch.
Fuck we go high.
Anymore, that has to mean they missed their gut punch so we went ahead and broke their fucking jaw.

MITCH is the one who wanted to do this without gloves on, so let's make that mistake MEMORABLE.

but it will look exactly like that.

Is not being passed out, emailed or copied. It is being kept in a secure room, inside a property pouch that has to be signed to open and close it.

They did it this way so they know who is looking at it, and when. From there they would be able to backtrack any type of leaks.

Who gives a flyi g fuck. It's not the nuclear launch codes ferfucksake. It we don't start fighting back, we are all done for. The hour is late.

any court. The Republicans are scraping the bottom of the barrel to get him seated when they had other picks avalable. Trump thinks this will save him, and maybe it will, I sure don't have much hope for a different outcome.

They will not give the Republicans a taste of their own medicine. Because that's not what Democrats are. Democrats believe in the rule of law, in the separation of powers, in the building of consensus.

I'm proud of them for that. But I'm also sad. Those rat bastard Republicans deserve to be waterboarded.

They are manipulating the rules and utilizing loopholes to their advantage. If we do the same then the rules and laws and traditions don't matter. It then becomes a free for all and chaos reigns. I think eventually the rule of law wins but short term the Rethug assholes have the advantage.

For some reason we tend to forget that the HAMMER of Justice and the Blind Ladys Sword are big and sharp FOR A REASON.

we are doomed.

I'd argue that it's older than that.
Nixon should have been imprisoned.
Robert E. Lee should have been HANGED.

Our 'forgiveness' of their Treason has been fucking this country over for at least a hundred and fifty years.

It's time for a very, very painful lesson.

What a con job he's doing on the process.

I suggest our Dems read the report out loud to get the most time to digest and debate among themselves.

as well.

This is rape of the Republic. It is unConstitutional. And someone ought to pursue it as such. They've been trying to ram this through from day one and this is their latest choking off transparency. Rule by secrecy is dictatorship.

Let them limit themselves to 1 hour of what-the-fuck-ever.

McDumbass needs to be banned for life from anything remotely resembling activity.

McFuckwad will get his ass sued to death.

She continued to say something like: The stance I'm taking is I'm going to wait until it happens.

This is from Rachel Maddow -- who has given us a lot of bombshell reports that fizzled -- just now.

They'll be reviewing the report in groups all looking at the same document. This is idiotic and a huge scam.

Republicans aren’t even pretending to be fair. It’s scorched earth all the way.

Eventually the Repugnants will be out of the majority and come next time we have the majority in Congress as well as the White House our guys could ram some of their own changes through down the throat of the Repugnants such as increasing the number of SCOTUS judges and the Repugnants will only have themselves to blame if that happens.

If that were the case, Jr and Cheney would have faced impeachment charges.

Not from this crop. The only way kav won't be seated is if enough repubs don't want to run on their yes vote, that they willing risk Yertles wrath and vote no.

That's not to say that when we retake congress, his ass should be impeached from the bench.
For damn sure.
But we're not there YET.

Senators to vote to impeach a President.

But par for the course for the repugs. Bunch of crooks they all are!
