The Turtle is to never be trusted. He will always go against the American people no matter what. He’s bought and paid for. I really don’t understand why they keep re-electing him.

Are you kidding me? This is the party that invented ‘borking’. I’m sure they’re going to dust of Patrick Leahy who will be ‘deeply troubled’. McCain will probably join him.

And with a bunch of Democrats up for reelection in Red States in 2018, President Trump will have a working coalition.

OH Yeah this is so awesome.
I tried to tell these people in 2013 that the table could turn here but they weren’t listening then. They were all drunk with power.

So yesterday when I saw this article I posted it to my facebook saying:

“You think democrats are mad now... Wait till they realize!”

Rule Change Pushed By Harry Reid Could Allow Trump To Get All Of His Appointments Confirmed

Then dropped the mic!

The current rules should be followed. It's only fitting.

It would be really stupid for the Repubs to change the rules back and thus prevent approval of Trump's appointment.

But, it is the stupid party.

Hate to say it but I think Obama has had dirt on all them for a while, which is why they shut up and do nothing the last 6 years we Tea Party folks sent them there.

BUT, by executive order, Trump can rescind Obama’s EO to seal his records.

That’s the big baby I am waiting for.

hope that ends up being the way

I, so, hope they open Obama’s records.

I’m sure they will be forced to not do it because YOU ARE RACIST.

“This means that a simple majority of 51 votes instead of 60 votes is necessary to confirm executive office appointments.”

I don’t believe this is correct. A simple majority to confirm an appointment but 60 votes to end any filibuster on the nomination.

Someone like Obama would have precious few federal records that the feds could ‘unseal’. I would imagine Hawaii, Occidental College, Columbia, etc, have long since destroyed their Obama records to the best of their ability. A US president would have no authority over them in any case.

Robert Bork. Teddy Kennedy blocked his nomination and almost destroyed his career.

Morning hoosiermama, love to see Harry Reid choke on his own legislation. These dolts probably thought when they passed this legislature they would be occupying DC forever......

This is how I feel about “term limits.” They are only ever used against good men who are fighting on our side. Term limits will be trashed as soon as the Dims have a majority ahain!
