When your liberal friends complain about Donald Trump’s cabinet appointments, and talk about how the Democrats will fight them every step of the way, remind them that Harry Reid has ensured their confirmation. It was Reid who changed the senate rules, implementing the “nuclear option” making it impossible for the minority party to stop the President’s cabinet and judicial nominees from being confirmed.

Yeah, the Senate keeps the legacy rules doesn’t it, if it doesn’t touch them?

Hey thanks Dingy! And just at the right time too! Please don’t kill yourself too soon on the treadmill, we might need more of this!

Unfortunately, so far Mitch McConnell says he won't use the nuclear option. Maybe Trump can help him change his mind...or else.
