Mitch McConnell was surprised today when he looked down and found his happy sack!

Warren shut down, barred from continuing to speak.

Sen. Crapo objected to the request by Sen. Reed to enter into the record the letter Warren was reading in.

Very forcefully.

Rubio asks if Rule 19 says “directly or indirectly”—it does, in order to enter it into the record.

Now Dems questioning scenarios concerning Rule 19.

Remember the clerk who told them Jesus was mad at thier actions. They of course hauled her off to a psych ward. Googled her awhile ago. She says she was sane then and now and that she still loves the lord. Will try to find her name and update again. I believe the Lord was speaking through her.

Notice Warren does not quote Sessions’ ostensibly “racist” statements from 30 years ago.
She quotes Ted Kennedy’s and Coretta King’s statements in which they accused him -—30 years ago-—of being a racist.
Dem SOP.
Include hearsay and innuendo, but leave out supporting evidence or facts —because there are none, or worse, the facts might contradict the smear.

I think this is wonderful. Princess SummerFallWinterSpring will burn out in 24 months.

Dems leading more than 24 months before a contested Presidential election, often even in the Primary, do not get elected in the General, and often are not even nominated!

Senator Sheldon “Will never live in the” Whitehouse D/Communist-RI compares Sessions to a “horse thief”.

This guy controls protocol in the Senate.



He does his job and there is no problem. Being a Navy Seal is a plus.

Clerk was stenographer Dianne Reidy . Says the Holy Spirit came to her the night before and told her to tell congress God was angry with them. Married mother of two. No regrets. Husband proud of his “level headed” wife.

His argument was dumb as he is.

IF it was established FACT that a Senator was a horse thief, that is something that could be discussed.

What Warren did was read an OPINION of others 30 years which was UNSUBSTANTIATED.

He thought he won a Supreme Court case—he made himself look even more foolish as usual.

Rubio up now. Rubio says neither Clinton nor Kerry ever had anything on their past brought up on the record.

We've learned these past couple of weeks that there is not ONE Democrat Senator who will stand up for the country and the Constitution if doing so conflicts with the goals of their party.

It's easy to imagine the Democrats of three decades ago having a stern private talk with the Warrens and the Frankens among them. No longer.
