There must be Senate strategies that McConnell can use to cause the Dems increasing pain, if he would only use them. Put the Senate in round the clock session. Change the rules so that committees can meet with only the majority, for example.

Democrats in DC wanted Comey fired until Trump did it.

Fake comment; Sen McConnell is the reason Merrick Garland is not on the Supreme Court, and that there are over a hundred vacancies for President Trump to fill in federal courts. Let me suggest you focus on the state of Virginia and see if you can improve it ...

LOL! Drag some money through the Senate and watch them all suddenly revive. Pigs at a trough have more class. But...but the human pigs like to style themselves as “the world’s greatest deliberative body,” or some such puke. Arrogant much?

Could the Senate move any slower and still be considered to be comprised of living beings?

Once I saw in some Capitol Hill tell-all book (the title of which I disremember) had this to say about the US Senate:

Q: "Why does the House have a 'Committee on Foreign Affairs', but the Senate's counterpart is called 'Committee on Foreign Relations'?"

A: "Because the Senators are too old to have 'affairs'; they just have 'relations'."

That is absolutely hilarious. Could be sweetened if the cast was the same one from Hamilton that disrespected VP Pence.

Senate crawls all the time. Why? Because it does not know how to walk. Many children never grow up. That is the makeup of the Senate. Little children.

Now that’s just plain damn funny right there!

My first thought....You mean slower than they are performing now? Good grief.

McConnell should not be talking about this, he has other work to do.

Yeah ... I mean, he gave the Left/Democrats everything they wanted in the budget ... and this is how they repay him?!

McConnell is far, far too old to be this naive ... this stupid!

Whatever Trump does, they'll oppose it.

Yep. He could find the cure for cancer and they'd oppose it.

Ol' Mitch did NOTHING but been an open door for Obama - as have the other useless Republicans. He did one thing with Garland - ONE THING. He's now an obstructionist for Trump.

It's now coming upon June. Most other Presidents have had their appointments approved through the Senate well within the first 100 days, yet Mitch can't get that done. He's a useless POS being led around by Schumer.

Yep, they sure aren’t burning up the track with any speed records as it is. They go any slower and they’ll be standing still.

Supreme Court Justice Neal Gorsuch after nuclear option exercised by Senate Majority Leader McConnell

How have you let your state vote for Obama twice and now Hillary Clinton ?

Blah blah blah.

How much does the GOPe pay you all to come on to Free Republic and defend them? It must be a hard job - hope it pays well.

The Democrats were against Comey, before they were for Comey.

Thanks, Maggie!

Just like the Libs’ “weapons of mass destruction[in Iraq] narrative.
