Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) accused Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) of breaking the Senate’s rules with a blistering floor speech against Sen. Jeff Sessions’s attorney general nomination.

And prior to that she was Quoting Ted Kennedy about Sessions...

Bet He is. He made Mr. Trump president and Congress is building their own wall against him (them). Better watch their Ps and Qs.

Rubio lies.

A red card is used in several different sporting codes. Its meaning differs among sports, but it most commonly indicates a serious offence and often results in a player being permanently suspended from the game (commonly known as an ejection, dismissal, expulsion, removal, or sending-off, often with personal embarrassment)

Rubio sure was on fire.

Now Schmucky is bloviating. Get out the hook. He likes using the word, “comity”.

Hatch is standing up for Sessions and tearing down the Dems’ actions.
