McConnell has hinted at keeping the Senate in session over the summer to reduce the backlog in Trump administration appointments.

That's not to help Trump. That's to prevent temporary appointments while the senate is not in session.

The headline sounds like it was designed to make people think that McConnell saw classified information which made him think that the Trump campaign was guilty of collusion, and that Trump's supporters are going to look like idiots when the information is revealed.

To the contrary, had there been a smidgeon of evidence of collusion, it would have been leaked to the media before the election.

Yes, indeed— for, why should he, when he can just sit on his a@@ and wait for the dead weight of his “leadership” to devolve to the inevitable tipping point of one more screw in the coffin of the US citizens who are not his “gifters” or the benefactor of his political coffers.... like the CHI COMs are— Just imagine what Elaine Chao is doing as Secretary of Transportation (one of the most GRAFT ridden potential positions there is, aside from the EPA, for influencing the direction and speed of US industrial recovery. The DOT controls all the US interstate system, the railroads, bridges, and most especially the “highway” Trust fund of federal gasoline taxes US wide (which is a slush fund, even though it is to be directed to transportation needs US wide— as a “use tax”). We hear absolutely NOTHING from her office, what she is improving, or not or really WHAT she is doing. She was, of course Sec. of Labor (think what that would mean from the Kowloon side, or Taiwanese Chinese influence alone, never mind the 10 container ships her family’s business had built by the Chi-Com prison labor force. And am NOT a union organizing type, but respect the dignity of properly paid skilled labor.

Trump must put some pressure in order to get McConnell to approve even more judges and US attorneys. McConnell ain’t exactly moving fast. More info on him coming. But Mark Levin is on his story, for sure.

And to think, McConnell went through the kabuki theater with Treas. Sec.Mnuchin by going to Ft. Knox and “verifying” US Gold Bullion is all there— but just not saying... how much. Can’t make this up. He is one greasy mush mouth. Who, btw was born and raised in N. Alabama (which makes him almost a “Corker” TN type pol), who moved to KY for his very brief scandalous military assignment-— at Fort Knox.

Trump seems very patient. He’s not going after Sessions, and I am inclined to at this point.

Somebody knows something they aren’t telling us.

Perhaps he’s just watching the Left out themselves, and then the hammer...

No argument here.

We need to boot him out of the leadership position now. Ryan also...

Every day is a lost day at this point.

We must have movement.

Mitch collects a federal paycheck, true.

But his biggest paycheck is not his federal paycheck, but one indirectly signed by Xi Jinping!

Don’t play poker with PDJT. I wouldn’t. Keeps his cards close to his vest…

He can simultaneously dazzle them with brilliance, AND baffle them with bull$h!t

We’ll see how it plays out.

Allowing some time to pass before going after certain people might be a good play.

If they’d have done it right off, there would have been more resistance.
