McConnell has options if he will only use them.”

McConnell has been AWOL for 8 years, and today I see little difference.

TV news is reporting that this did happen (see thread below), the vote to send to floor the vote for Price and Manuchin were 14-0 - no dems there.
They are waiting for democrats to return to the room and find out what happened.

Republicans vote to suspend committee rules, advance Mnuchin, Price nominations

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - these are not “Democrats,” they’re Progressives, i.e. Socialists/Communists.

IMO, you\we do a disservice to the English language: they’re no more ‘Progressive’ than they are ‘Liberals’. You ARE correct that they are Fascist/Socialist/Marxist/Communists/....LEFTISTS.

There is nothing wrong w/ being (R) or (L) and wanting ‘progress’.

We are in an undeclared civil war and the GOP damned well better lock and load NOW, before the commies attempt to overthrow President Trump.

Too true. Unfortunately, it involves ‘govt’ in general (aka the Uniparty), at all levels.
