McCain blasted the demoralizing antic as “an insult to the public and our soldiers to think a cloture vote to cut off debate on a motion to proceed to another cloture vote to cut off debate about a meaningless resolution is anything other than a partisan stunt and an evasion of our responsibilities.”

He hit the nail on the head, here.

Perhaps, but what is becoming increasingly demoralizing, and scary, is how Congress is using their position for circuslike showmanship rather than for its intended purpose which is to legislate. All these "nonbinding resolutions", "mock impeachment trails" in the basement of the Capitol, "no confidence" votes ... blah blah blah

All it does is give more fodder for the MSM to 'report' that the country is turning against the President. It's all a show, and they know it too, but it resonates in the mind of the ill informed of this country, of which there are many

Only our beloved politicians. Hopefully a few people will see the idiocy and irrelevance of this behavior to any serious issue.
