POS Republicans cave again.


This is why I say, over and over again, Trump is not a republican. He just had to join one of the two parties to have a chance of winning.

This is why I like him.

I dunno.

Every time I see her, I am reminded what she did to get into the position she’s in. It cracks me up.

Absolutely unforgivable. She’s a cop hating leftist pig as well as a dirty slut to get into power. We owed her a presidential platform?

McConnell is a deep state pig, although allow Harris to bury herself with her idiocy.

Instead of shrinking the committee as was the plan....to keep Harris on...Turtle expanded the committee by one additional member (GOP). So they have an extra GOP vote on the committee now.

I think her questioning is so ludicrous as to be funny.

I love when she says things like “consider your answer carefully”.
I’d be live, “well, I’ll consider my answer a lot more carefully than you considered your ludicrous question.”

So the deal is the Republicans add a seat too. Only a big deal if you think Harris is a big threat in the next presidential election. I don't see her as much of a threat, and I don't even think she's legally qualified, but that doesn't seem to matter anymore.

She slept her way into this position, that generally doesn't make her a longterm threat.

If the Rats ever take the senate there is a good chance that she’d become Chairman of the committee. Oh, sorry...Chairwoman.

The REPUBLICANS are ADDING a SEAT on the Judiciary to allow this. The NET result Republican will have a +2 majority instead of a +1 majority.

This will prevent a future FLAKE being able to hamstring the Judiciary Committee by siding with Democrats.

Under those circumstances, I don’t see this as anything but a win. Yertle has his uses.

That proves this was a brilliant move and once again, surface-dwellers don’t get it.

BINGO! And that, my fellow FReepers, is the kind of reply one posts when engaging the mind instead of transient emotions. It is a throwback to what Free Republic was like before it devolved into the mindless rants which dominate "conversations" over at Democratic Underground.

In simple terms, the proper sequence is "Ready, Aim, Fire!" and not "Ready, Fire!, Aim." Thank you, Mr. Mason.

Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct before the Republic does.

Put the checkerboard away and learn chess. This was a skillful move by McConnell.

The bigger issue is how Feinstein remains, since she withheld information from the committee for over 60 days. She should already be off the committee and sanctioned by the full senate and sent to bed without supper or her concealed weapon.

Chess? You mean the move where he’s afraid to take out the black queen?
