But it’s so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy’s? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

None of this matters if the senate holds ranks and give the dems the middle finger.
Screw them. They’ve given it to us in the keester for 7 years, changing rules, ignoring laws, etc....
This is so important that it’s time to turn Reids rules back on them if we have to.

Ryan can call the House back by consulting with the Minority Leader but that person doesn’t have to agree. Harry Reid has to agree in the Senate.

Here is something I would look into if I was Speaker. If Ryan calls back the House does that mean the Senate now has to do Pro Forma Sessions since you can’t go more than 3 days with one side out of session and the other in session.

This recess is at the magical 10 number. They need it less than 10. I find it so amusing that Scalia’s words on Canning are coming into play.

Sort of like leaving a horse’s head in your bed.
Stranger things have happened.
Hillary is still running for President!!!!
Our government is a criminal enterprise.

Obama is a Curse on the US

And also to HIMSELF.

What goes around comes around.. and somewhere down the road the CURSE will return to him.

It's always worked that way throughout history. Be patient.

OK

We’d better look around Scalia’s room for the other pillow.

Ok, that is reasonable. No bloodshot eyes to imply suffocation.

Any needle marks?
