Mitch McConnell Gets 13 More Trump Judges Approved Before August Break
"While Democrats are holding debates for 2020 and the media is completely distracted, Mitch McConnell has been very busy.
Everyone in Washington is preparing to take the month of August off, but in a final act of business in the Senate, Mitch McConnell just got 13 more Trump judges approved.
Amazing".

Hmmmmm.
It would be interesting to know the locations of those shot. Unless in checkout lanes and stuck there, WM people are spread out in my area, even in the parking area. I don’t know how long this incident took, but was LEO hesitating to engage? Did the ammo run out.
This isn’t making a lot of sense. A mass shooter with ear protection expects to be taken alive?
A wireless keyboard would be cheaper.
The wonder of it all. Believe it or not Sparky - I can reply anytime, anywhere to anyone I want.
I thought you didn't care what I think....lol.
Troll.
Very little is actually making sense.
Good cache (misspelled catch, but cache fits)
Aha, too bad.
Every damn time. The "multiple" shooters vaporize, leaving the "lone wolf" story.
I'll believe the Hispanic woman who saw four shooters in black shirts shooting everywhere.
Doing the job that Baltimore wont.
Well, there’s a whole raft of security footage. Where that is is another question. All we have now are still shots of a guy coming in. With head gear no less. There doesn’t even appear to be a greeter. Is there a Subway there? Small businesses along the front of the inside of the building? A hair place?
Normally I follow the adage about not feeding the trolls ... but ...
Last night Mick Mulvaney spoke at the annual South Carolina Republican dinner and addressed this point about draining the swamp.
He noted how difficult it is to fire federal employees but noted one of the recent successes was that they moved two departments of the USDA (I believe it was) to the midwest. Some of the agencies prevent their staff from being relocated but USDA did not. Nearly all of the staff resigned rather than being relocated.
It’s a small step but a step nonetheless

I was able to do that, but it still required clicking, just like posting a twitter and clicking on it.
