McConnell is like a boxer who plans to hit his opponent in the fist with his chin.
Didn’t this fool republicans do so9me sort of “power sharing” when they were last in the majority? How’d that strategy work? What a pile of feckless degenerates. Hey, congresspersons...the LIBs will never like you no matter how much you appease them. Don’t you get it?
Of course you will, you useless piece of trash.
Predicted that move months ago.
Unfortunately, I think he will be right. If Kentuckians try to remove him, maybe voter fraud will keep him in.
Turtle Soup!
Last time they had the senate thay gave the lefter ( cause they are left too) 50% of the committee chairs
To quote that great philosopher, Bugs Bunny:
“What a MAROOOOOON!”
Seriously, why on Earth would the Republicans put back the filibuster and allow the Dems to bottle up their legislation. Give them back their medicine for at least a single session of Congress and run roughshod over them. Make them BEG to put it back - and then make sure that only a 2/3 vote of the Senate can get rid of it again.
F’ing cheese-eating surrender monkey!
over backwards to show how fair they are by giving them back their minority powers

I seem to remember a certain R Senator from AZ that had been the ONLY one exonerated from the ‘Keating Five’.
After an election (not sure which year) but an R was Prez so VP had the decider, it was virtually a 50-50 split and the R Senator from AZ was leading the push to be ‘fair’ and have the committees be represented by an equal amount from each party. He was real ‘gung-ho’ about it till the Dems started insisting on Joint Leadership for the Committees and the guy from AZ decided it wasn’t such a good idea after all.
Don’t remember the Senator’s name but his wife was/is one of the Biggest Chevy Dealers in AZ if not the country.
If we get rid of the filibuster for all bills, not just appointments, we might have a chance to pass an enforcement bill and the repeal of Obamacare if we could get control of the Senate and the WH.
GOP in charge = Rats in charge.
So basically, Mitch is advocating handicapping ONLY Republicans when they are in control of the Senate.
Because as swiftly as Harry Reid accepts its return, he will rip it the filibuster out again should he get the chance.
This is why the McConnell/Boehner/Cornyn Republicans SUCK. They seem to enjoy being used as doormats by democrats who walk in after a day walking in cow pastures.
Wow, this is bad. More tip toeing from useless surrender monkey McConnell.
McConnell has no interest in being an engaged opposition party with the kenyan in the WH. That begin the case, I see little reason to support the GOP for the next two years. The gelded old turtles in the Senate GOP want the perks but not the responsibilities. Not with my support.
The only reason that makes sense is that the GOPe does not WANT conservatism, that they really ARE in league with the Dems, and just play-acting that they oppose them.
As long as the GOPe plays nice with the Dems, then things are easy. The GOPe can accept money from lobbyists, go on expensive junkets, keep mistresses, get invited to the good parties where the booze and cocaine flow freely -- and the MSM will studiously ignore it all, AS LONG AS THEY BEHAVE AND LET THE DEMS WIN.
But if they allow real conservatives to get control, then the good times are over. THAT is why they fight so hard against the TEA Party.
Here is the word this a##clown SPEWS that rings in my head like the bells in the hunchback tower.........”CONSIDER” He will consider, well how very large of you! I am sick of all of them sick to my stomach! He is tyed to these treasonous bastards like cans on the fender of a just married car. I have a four letter word for all of them ROPE!
The RINOs will be power sharing without a doubt.
I won’t vote for one either. Ever.

“The prospect of returning the threshold for breaking filibusters on nominees to 60 votes from the simple majority established by the Democrats “
You did not read the article did you ?
McConnell wants to allow fillibuster of appointees changed from needing 51 to confirm to 60 to confirm.
