In the ongoing battle between squishy Senate RINOs who actually understand how to achieve gains and the Real Conservatives whose every maneuver backfires, the Real Conservatives have taken the momentary advantage.
Sen. Tom Cotton, the freshman statesman from Arkansas, last seen on Twitter challenging the Iranian foreign minister to a debate over the Constitution, has defied Sen. Bob Corker’s well-managed plan to get the Iranian review bill through the Senate. He and Sen. Marco Rubio — whom you may have heard is running for president, and is firmly in the business of looking after Marco Rubio’s interests — used an aggressive parliamentary procedure to force votes on their “poison pill” amendments. Democrats were pissed off, and now the bill’s future is uncertain. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will take the weekend to consider how to proceed.
While I may call them “poison pills” because I am liberal terrorist from an irrelevant website, I’m not the only one using that term. Bob Corker himself is describing the amendments thrust forth by Rubio and Cotton as “poison pills.” (Cotton calls them “vitamin pills.”) The two amendments in question would “would make Iran relinquish its nuclear facilities before getting economic sanctions relief and require that Iran recognize Israel’s statehood as a condition of any nuclear deal.
Go Rep Cotton, give the RINOs hell!!
“the Iranian review bill “ is blatantly a Kabuki PR show.
The legislature has NO authority to affect an ‘executive agreement’ except by it’s power of the purse or it’s power of impeachment and removal.
And the RINOs won’t do either.
This bill is like Salon- inane.
The relevant Hero is Rubio here — he is standing UP!! instead of hiding. No I know he made a huge mistake on Amnesty but he will not do that again.
can read all the other papers articles poste on here but saloon I just cant. Too over the top in its hate. what is it anyway with a name like that? a fruit paper?
The tootiest and the frootiest.
What have RINO squishies achieved ? More leftism. No wonder the fruitbats at Saloon love 'em so.
lol there were more fruits at my last graphics job than a Korean food stand.
With all the crap going on, you’d think they were 90% of the population.
Salon should not be allowed on FR. This vile, leftist website is filled with anti-semites, Israel haters, Nazis, fascists, communists, America-haters and just plain dirtbag bed-wetters who wouldn’t last 10 seconds in a streetfight.
Well, he and Tom are trying to force politically meaningful votes into the Kabuki script.
Which is the best that can be done with this show.
That sonofabitch has a plan, alright...
In other words, it’s pretty much your average mainstream liberal website.
at least Wash post, times, la times, etc. try Sometimes to sound like they aren’t bought and paid for and ever now and then a little effort is put into articles. NEVER so with this thing..wont connect to this website in a million years.
I have a serious hatred for the Soros Nazis at Salon. They are vile, disgusting Israeli-hating pr*cks who need to be hanged from lampposts.
I agree. There is something to be gleaned from articles of the other left wing papers. We get insight into their misguided ideas. Their thinking, though utterly wrong, is more lost than it is hateful, imho.
Salon is the left wing equivalent of a neo Nazi nationalist magazine.
I tend to agree with you on the reasons to ban Salon, or at least limit the amount of the filth from them on here.
