Steady there....
“Spin Control” in force.
Changing the rules may need for clarification.

Do you have a problem with that?
Glad to see Orrin Hatch grow a pair. Can he pass it along to others, especially Mitch...Give it to those damn democrats!
Meanwhile, Al Franken is exploding in insults of both Jeff Sessions and Ted Cruz, stalling the committee vote. The dems are over the top, creating a situation where they have nowhere good to bring this outrage they’re creating.
What the hell?! How long have I been asleep for? I thought it would take decades for the GOP to grow spines and balls again.
Shockingly, they did it overnight!
Good. Leave them behind.
GOOD, Now do the same damn thing the rest of the day and COnfirm Sessions and Gorsuch . Both should be seated bu Dinner Tonight

GOOD!!!
Wow. This was my suggestion yesterday. I didn’t think they had the stones to do it. Congrats, pubbies. Learn from Trump how to get things done.
