There is no ‘worst part of it’. The whole thing is ‘the worst part’.

Has Levin reached his galectically wide ‘inch’ yet?

The House Republican caucus is meeting right now so we’ll know very soon.

*************
They need to stop meeting and start doing. The time for endless talk and meaningless rhetoric is over. We demand results. Now.

This is to give them breathing room while they evaluate backlash. Bury them in calls, emails, tweets, make them listen!!

Trump can’t get in office soon enough.

**************
If he does become president, his biggest foe will be the Republican Party. They will fight and subvert him at every turn.

It’s a pretend fight, a Kabuki dance. Nothing more.

I agree these traitors have never cared about this nation it is all about bowing to the New World Order. They make me sick.

Ha.

I remember Levin saying he was an inch away from bolting the GOP.
He has not bolted yet.

+My point exactly. I know many like/trust him. That one issue shows me trusting him isn’t such a great idea. He has said some version of the inch thing for years.

What more could the GOP do that they have not?

Yea but so does David Axelrod. Passion can be great when directed properly. Screaming conservative and then backing off on election day to support the guys he railed on for 3.9 years isn’t directed in America’s favor.

The senate will bend over and spread ‘em for dear leader regardless. Biting the pillow has become second nature to them.

Pretty much. Just more of the “oh look what we did!”

Yeah. You did nothing.

I am more and more wondering if suing to get SCOTUS input on “is this a treaty” may not be the way to go. Dunno. Not my area of expertise.

“First, fire Boehner and McConnell, then change the rules on the filibuster, THEN hold the Iran vote.”

Nuke the vote before Iran nukes us.

“I don’t think the House conservatives are ‘playing’.
Of course Boehner just wants to please the donors who paid to have the sanctions lifted.”

Naaah. The so-called “conservatives” are playing us for suckers as they always do. When they pass the motion to vacate the chair, that might indicate some seriousness. Until then, it just more theatrics for the TV audience.

RINOs are doing everything possible the hand Obama a victory on a silver platter. To hell with them, bring up the resolution to vacate the chair. Get someone with heart and desire to be speaker.

The old saying, “I wish I were a fly on the wall in that meeting”, applies.

First of all, exactly what review has taken place in the last couple of months? None as far as I can tell.

Second, It sounds like McConnell and Boehner are hot to “bend” the rules in the House so as to stamp out the conservative debate but I bet you dollars-to-donuts McConnell will do nothing against the coming Democratic filibuster in the Senate.

How ironic that the weak Republican leadership will fail to invoke the “nuclear option” in the face of what will probably result in a real nuclear war down the line.
