He’s sort of “the Lucy pulling the football away from charlie brown” of congress over and over,never really striking gold.

---

Agree. He and Chaffitz ask tough questions and then it disappears into to the ether...

[upchuck]

One thing I found out about Graham is that he gets elected with many votes form the other side. That’s probably the onoy reason he is still there.

You're right rodguy. Dems cross over in SC open primaries and vote for linda. Then, she wins in the general because she's running against some Dem you never heard of.

Open primaries need to be eliminated NOW. In other states as well. We also badly need term limits.

[Steven Tyler]

Congress needs to suponea Comedy’s tapes and conversations

[Fhios]

It’s because the real heat comes in the back room. That’s why. I’ve no doubt that Gowdy has been effective. Isa was an idiot.

Most of these house panel investigations are mere posturing as they can only make a recommendation to the DOJ, they have no enforcement on their own.

They ask tough questions, and intimidate the other party. But I’m afraid that’s it.

[jjotto]

The FBI is evil, a criminal organization without principles or honor. All its associates need to be dealt with in the coming CW. Failure to deal with them will cost many patriots’ lives, or even defeat completely traditional America.

...On Saturday, the The FBI Agents Association (FBIAA) urged Trump to nominate former House Intelligence Committee Chairman and FBI Special Agent Mike Rogers. A CNN national security commentator, Rogers represented Michigan’s 8th congressional district in the House from 2001 to 2015...

...The FBIAA represents over 13,000 active and retired agents...

Rogers is a disgrace. Rogers was part of the problem during the Benghazi fiasco

So has does it help Trump to have a Dem controlled Congress? I say yes to defeat those Reps who have not supported Trump in the primaries. I say no to ceding the seat to the rabid Dems.

Now that is an interesting question. So let us talk about Trump's REPEAL / REPLACE Obamacare primary and general Election speeches.

Where were the REPUBLICANS ??? Now on to the CROMNIBUS Budget - More Spending, more Taxes, NO elimination of funds for Planned Parenthood, NPR, etc.?

Where were the REPUBLICANS ??? - WHERE WAS TRUMP ?? - So does this help the average WORKING American who actually pays Federal Taxes??

Yes, the water in pot with the frog is getting hot

[newfreep]

Agree 100% on Clarke - someone we know is honest and will clean out the corruption.

Kinda scary Cornyn is on the short list - he’s totally with the Swamp Traitors.

[DanZ]

Graham hates Trump who humiliated him during the campaign. It is all about ego and power.

Well, Trump humiliated many more than Linda - so what is your point? Trump has an enormous Ego.

[Alas Babylon!]

The list of RINOs Sinators is far longer than the list of Conservatives Senators...

[Jeff Chandler]

Comey also maliciously prosecuted Martha Stewart.

[TennTuxedo]

Graham was the guy who pulled the strings to show that Storm Thurmond was alive. Graham gets a lot of Dems to cross over and vote for him, just like McCain gets in AZ.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

The list of RINOs Sinators is far longer than the list of Conservatives Senators...

That's because the cities elect the senators. Needs to be fixed.

[Alas Babylon!]

The whole Garland thing as FBI director is just RINO foolishness.

Garland was appointed by Obama for Scalia’s seat, which would be an extreme change on the court. Since it was so close to the election, I believe McConnell did the right thing, invoked the Biden rule, and Garland never got a hearing.

Of course, the sore loser democrats went nuts. Even after Trump won, they had the termity to demand Trump proceed with Garland.

Garland is a liberal. He’s not wanted or needed. He has no special law enforcement creds EXCEPT he was, for a time, a democrat “cause celebratay” (pronounce that in French please, I cannot type in French!).

AND THAT’S IT.

McConnell thinks he tossing the dems a bone with Garland but the demos don’t want no bones—only GOP throats.

Seriously, these people (RINOs) are such weak sisters!

[DanZ]

The list of RINOs Sinators is far longer than the list of Conservatives Senators...

That's because the cities elect the senators. Needs to be fixed.

Texas has Johny Wayne McCornyn - The No.2 in the Senate, a close buddy of the great Senate Majority Leader from Kentucky. No, cities alone do not elect Senators in many states. Maine, R.I. and a few tiny states do indeed have this problem.

Maybe Maine should merge back with Massachusetts :)

[shalom aleichem]

Trump must simply say no on any special prosecutors. This would spell the end of any more agenda items being considered or passed.

It ruined Nixon’s plans, Reagan’s after Iran-Contra, Clinton, and W Bush (all efforts were diverted to keeping Rove out of jail).

They know this is the only way to slow or stop Trump.

Sessions has to pass the word as No. And Donald better not ever mention “tapes” again

[Fu-fu2]

Tried watching. Enjoyed Kellyannes interview but that was it. The same mindless blathering talking points over and over. A beautiful day here, don’t need this stuff ruining the day. Stopped watching the “news” months ago but always used to enjoy the Sunday morning shows. No more. Not even a pretense of fairness/honesty.

[kabar]

Where was Hillary? Where were the Dems when Gorsuch got confirmed? Where were the Dems when the Keystone and Dakota pipelines were approved? Where were the Dems when Obama regulations and executive orders were repealed/eliminated? Where were the Dems when Trump issued close to 40 new executive orders? Where were the Dems when our immigration laws started being enforced?

You seem to overlook what Trump has accomplished so far in less than 4 months or what would have happened if Hillary were in the WH. I get up every day with a smile on my face that Trump is in the WH and not Hillary.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Texas has Johny Wayne McCornyn -

?

Ain't no such senator...John Cornyn (R-TX) is a RINO.

cities alone do not elect Senators in many states

They do where the majority of the population live in cities (most states) Senators are elected "at large"...everyone in the state can vote for them.

Cities vote RAT. Maine, R.I. and a few tiny states do indeed have this problem.

[Alas Babylon!]

Even so, it's all about turnout.

That's how Obama won in 2008 and 2012 (well, besides all the cheating). EVERY single Brotha and Sista showed up to vote. 93 percent of whom voted for Obama in 2012.

The did not for Hillary.

Yet, how many eligible (re: not illegals or aliens) voted, as a percentage?

An Estimated 57.9 Percent of Eligible Voters Voted in 2016

Projections from the United States Elections Project show that there were 231,556,622 Americans eligible to vote, but 138,884,643 voted. That means that 40 percent didn’t vote, while 60 percent did. The voter turnout will likely increase as the popular vote continues to be counted.

Voting Eligible Population Ballots	Voter Eligible Population That Didn’t Vote	Voter Eligible Population Total
138,884,643 (60 percent)	92,671,979 (40 percent)	231,556,622
