“We’ve done the best we could under the circumstances.”

Which means, of course, that it should be the law of the land.

Outcome-based Legislation.

I want the border shut, the criminals identified and I want the men who fathered those kids in the rental in Chicago to support them so I won’t have to. That’s pretty much it.

Blood is thicker than water.

Where’s all the hearings on costs, health, schools, law enforcement, hospitals, prisons?

I know, but they were too busy filibustering judicial nominees.

Okay, so if they vote for cloture it means they are going to be tinkering around with THIS crappy bill. If they vote against, it means this mess goes out the window and they start from scratch. Does that sound right?

Specter says they will have to pay back taxes ... HE IS LYING ON THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE!

They only have to pay 3 of the last 5 years (if the IRS can prove what they do owe).

Wouldn't it be nice if the Senate were that considerate of the current American citizens. Imagine if we could choose which 3 of the last 5 years we wanted to pay and get a refund for the other two years.

It is the best they can do, and they have to do something? How much do these people get paid to represent us??

See.... the fees are too high. Starting already.

Well gee, who pays for the obstetrics bills and delivery for each of their yearly children? Nevermind. Nothing to see here.

Kinda, sorta. ALTHOUGH what Senator Sessions said earlier- they are ACTUALLY voting cloture on LAST YEAR’S bill...and THAT vote will then usher in THIS bill...under it.

It doesn’t make sense- but there you have it...
