The recent spat in the Senate reminds me of Russia. On any given day it is hard to tell whether Russia is being run by an authoritarian or an outright dictator. Vladimir Putin fools few into believing Russia is a constitutional republic led by a freely elected President. Instead, Putin has changed the rules and exploited every loophole to defy his constitution to remain in power.

In America, we believe in term limits; our commander-in-chief is only permitted to rule for two four-year terms. Term limits prevent any one person from accumulating too much destructive power; in fact, term limits are protecting us right now from a third term of President Obama’s lawless and endless executive orders.

We tried to take him out in a primary. Those who wanted McConnell in leadership, like Donald Trump, opposed us. They won. Did they help “make America great”?

19 Trillion and counting with no will to stop any of it. That's making America great.

I’ve had enough of the Emperor His Wonderfulness the First Barack Hussein Obama!

With the way he’s gutted our military, present and future, we now need to worry about being conquered by Prince Edward Island.

Term limits for Senators be damned; how about liberal Supreme Court Justices, or all Supreme Court Justices just to be fair (ahhh, that great liberal word.)

Don't blame. I voted for Bevin in the primary.

Forget term limits. That's just bling.

Repeal the 17th Amendment. That's the prize.

California has term limits for their state legislature. That state is a mess.

That was in 2014 when Trump was pulling out all the stops to win the US Post Office. He was a builder-developer then.

Now he doesn’t have to kiss anyone’s ass. That’s the difference.

Talk to those who enabled McConnell, not those who opposed him.

Once more, Trump’s behavior is written off as simple bribery, and viewed as OK.

Crony Capitalism is all the rage in 2016.

Just Trump being a “winner” and employing the “art of the deal.”

I wonder if Soros and Buffett are viewed in the same positive light?

5th ave is jammed packed.

Not bribery, necessity. Anyone in the building business knows that to be the case. It’s called access to high-level decision making.

Learn something rather than acting like a pissy snit.

#18 can teach you something if you have enough brain cells to learn anything.
