He already knew Ryan was bowing out of the November elections. McConnell isn't up for re-election in November, but if the Senate GOP loses their majority - and it could happen - then he's no longer the majority leader of the Senate. The job would go to a Democrat, probably Schumer or maybe someone else.

Secondly the GOP leadership of the House is seriously in doubt now that Ryan is leaving. How many seats will the GOP lose? It's starting to look like a landslide after all these special election wins for the Dems so far this year. Every chance a Dem has to take a GOP seat, it's been another win for us. By November it's going to look like a tsunami of blue.

Everything changes when the Dems take Congress back.

Now I got that song in my head lol

Gotta figure it out ... I can HEAR it in my head ... but can't quite put my finger on the song ... I'll figure it out tho don't tell me ...

"We've got Billy on the line..."

I'll never forget listening to LA disc jockey Jim Ladd, live from Berlin, at The Wall concert they did. It felt so historic. With the damn Cold War over, such hope for the future...

Last song (The Tide Is Turning)

I gotta admit I didn't put the song with your quote, but 'I've got Billie on the line' reminded me instantly of that album.

Can't believe reading those lyrics 'on paper' ... didn't come with Rog's voice in my head.

I saw him on that tour ... he never took off his shades lol ...

Jim Ladd was a long time favorite of many of us in LA for a long time, it was so cool he lent his voice to Water's album.

I read his book too, on the history of FM radio.
It was quite fascinating.

Cheers mon.

Amazing to say the least!

the strings of the Mad King....fuck off media.

if Hitler were alive they'd run his articles and opinion pieces. They'll post anyone.

What? All six of them? Well, at least they have $$$ for an ad, and, only the con’s supporters and sparky himself watch the friends... enjoy, assholes.

From what I have caught on Twitter, they seem like Eisenhower republicans who might be able to influence Congress. I'm keeping hope alive. On life support, but still breathing.

most saying in one form or another to let the probe go on.

Amazing how we blow right by them..

He endorsed a pedophile and the pedophile lmost won.

I try to have hope, but with repugs, they’re all about law until it’s time to vote..

Assuming Mitch and Paul aren’t on it, or Gorsuch..

the dark money people who've taken over the Republican Party. The wannabe kleptocrats had to destroy traditional conservatism as a power in the GOP in order to turn the voters to support of their extremism. A lot of the crazies they created were (are) traditional cons by nature, knee-jerk resisters of change, before they were sluiced down the rabbit hole.

This may be a message whose time has come. If I were a con, I'd be looking for an intellectual and moral lifeline.

take that with your morning meds while watching Fox and exFriends

I doubt he saw it.

Two-faced bastards. Oh, it's Bill Kristol.

About time. His 'death throes' might well be terrifying to behold and downright dangerous, but they've got to come sometime.

Where were these guys during the Republican primaries?

Not-so-subtle way to stick it to Cadet Bone Spurs.

singing about to commence.

touch..

"It also shows congressional leaders Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wi.) supporting the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election."

What were they thinking?
