The Blue Slip is a traditional courtesy of the Senate. But since Feinstein and Harris just got done smearing an entirely innocent man as a gang rapist, I think traditional courtesies are by the boards.

Maybe we can have civility again when the Democrats are run out of town on a rail, and the Democrat Party is reduced to permanent minority status.

“...and the Democrat Party is reduced to permanent minority status.”


While I wholeheartedly agree with everything you wrote, we need to be careful about the statement above. I can distinctly remember the situation right after the 1974 election, when many Dems and media types we’re talking about permanent minority status for the Republicans. Yeah, it really sucked for a few years, but 6 years later the Dems had so over played their hand, plus shown their incompetence, such that we got Reagan and the Senate. Nothing is permanent, but we can extend our run by being careful and responsible, and avoiding arrogance and corruption at the highest levels.

That's an excellent idea! It'd be great if the nastiest beasts amongst that howling herd, especially Nancy Pelosi and "Chucky" Schumer, were tarred and feathered to boot.

She should check her @ss for her Blue Slip, because that's where President "Triumph" Trump probably shoved it.

It’s my understanding that the 9th Circuit Court had more decisions overturned than any of the other Circuit Courts. I’m sure Feinstein would have her own explanation for that,but it’s high time that particular court got it’s act together. Pres. Trump’s act here will maybe set that in motion.

Grassley has been ignoring blue slips since last November, but has all the more reason to ignore FeinSwine & Harris now.

I know I say we need to crush them to DUST every chance I get, but I’m starting to think that having a few of them still hanging around, IMPOTENT and POWERLESS would be much more enjoyable! ;)

Hillary just explained that civility is impossible. Who is Trump to argue?

Hillary said that just YESTERDAY. We're just playing by their new rules!
