Someone needs to ask for the files on mccain to see if he has broken any laws.

The swamp is really shallow, but it is really really wide.

Lighthizer is likely to be confirmed with enough bipartisan support to compensate for McCain and Sasse's opposition.

ROTFL. I'm not tired of winning yet.

The new FBI Director can't come soon enough. We need to get to the bottom of the Russia gate nonsense. And I suspect You'll find McCain right there. The guy has become unhinged.

“Bangladesh prime minister says Clinton personally pressured her to help foundation donor”

When I read the heading of your Post, I mentally said McPain and who? When I opened the Post, the first Sens name listed, is who else? Of course, Sen Juan McPain.

The entire letter by McCain and Sasse is a must read for anybody who desires to learn more about this. The OP (t the Hill, not the FR poster) does not include this important information.

Once can see, in that letter, this statement of fact:

Confirming your nomination would allow the Trump Administration to negotiate "fast track" trade agreements, a power that Congress granted the executive branch in the 2015 reauthorization of TPA.

Clearly, Congress anticipated a globalist to be elected to the presidency, otherwise it would NOT have granted this power to the executive branch. McCain and Sasse objections are otherwise contrived. For example, the substance of the "mixed signals" objection is that the administration has signaled both "withdraw from" and "renegotiate" NAFTA. Nobody thinks that outright withdrawal is seriously contemplated at this time, only that (as with just about any negotiation) nothing is off the table. See the military equivalent, "use nukes," which McCain will agree is never off the table.

McCain and Sasse also claim that Mexico will buy more corn from South American countries, and less from the US, based on executive branch trade policy. Hello, deals are made on PRICE, and corn, like oil, is a global commodity. I doubt that Trump intends to harm US agribusiness.

Obviously, these two schmucks are being well-paid with campaign funds from some big agriculture interests in their states. Cash talks.

Quietly let these senators know that Nafta regulations will be scrupulously enforced only in their states.

Thanks GOPJ, I am sure there are many things we are unaware of that the DOJ is investigating......

How about bringing up the Golden Showers story and that audio recording of him talking to those jokers pretending to be foreign government?
