Congratulations to the other 50 Republicans for sticking together. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a calculated show vote for Collins and Murkowski, knowing the other pubs would hang tought.

Sessions is the number 1 appointment IMO. We need him at DOJ sooner rather than later.

Ok, now all you all nighters can go home and get some sleep now. And don’t come back for a few weeks.

Hope she downsizes it and we return to “health, education, and welfare” all in one department.

Get rid of the bureaucrats and give back tax money to states.

Whenever the Alt-Wrong has another meltdown about a Trump victory, we should just go “Oh, grab your little pussyhats - wah, wah, wah, wah. While y’all are ranting, we’ll get back to governing the country.”

Leftist & unionista heads will be exploding all over the internet. I've been watching their grousing for weeks, now it's going to be off the hook. The problem is DeVos will have an army of bureaucrat apparatchiks to defeat before making any headway.

it seems there are two republican senators who need to have their committee assignments pulled and be issued keys only to those restrooms in the sub- sub-basement of the capitol
