[The only good thing I can say about Collins....she vote for Neil Gorsuch, she voted for Brent Kavanaugh, she voted for the president’s other judicial nominees, and she voted for the tax cuts.]

I must admit that surprises me.

Someone ought to collect money to put up billboards saying:

“Pat Toomey once again voted to keep High Unemployment in the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre Central Pennsylvania region & flood it with opioids!”

This is more of an indictment of the leadership of Mitch McConnell than of Donald Trump.

It's an indictment on both of them. Of course we know McConnell doesn't care so he's worthless on an issue like this.

This is Trump's signature issue and he failed to persuade and build a coalition on the wall. Trump is great but he is a one-man show.

I often don’t put the /s when I make outrageous statements supporting Dems, LOL.

Mitch McConnell is a traitor and turncoat, just like Paul Ryan was and is!!! No sense bad mouthing these 12 GOP Senator turncoats, low life, scum and vermin, garbage bin material. But....POTUS, Trump get rid of Mitch McConnell Right now. He has no control whatsoever over his caucus.

McConnell, Romney, Rubio, Paul, Collins, Murkowski, etc. are all the lowest form of humanity. The blood, the murder, the rape of American citizen innocents drips from the filthy hands of these GOP Traitors and Turncoats!!!

The good news is that Trump still rules....his veto kills this bill...period!!! How the GOP voters in Iowa ever voted for that low life, garbage bin material, Mitt Romney is beyond any reasoning whatsoever!!!

He never needed a coalition to build the wall. He has total authority to secure our borders. No one else can. It’s not being done for some reason...

There ain’t no party like a Scranton party because a Scranton party never stops!

(from one of the few episodes of “The Office” I saw many years ago.)

I thought Ted Cruz opposed the declaration. Based on Constitutional principles.

Guess he put those vales aside, huh?

The Rat/RINO Uniparty of treason strikes again. THIS is our #1 problem. We no longer have anyone representing us in Washington


“The reason why none of our people are in Washington is when they reach Washington, they cease to be our people.”

Reagan (quoted from memory)

Both chambers must override and the House ain’t got the votes to override.

He’s scum. No question. Maybe contemplating some sort of Trump primary challenge?

Big pals with Jonah Goldberg and as smug on his podcasts with him as they come.

Roger Wicker, one of my senators, voted against Trump.

He’s received his last vote from me.

Nope. Sorry. This guy is smug and committed. Just within the last couple of months.

Never go soft based on one or two atypical votes, since pols get permission to make them, if they are not pivotal, to mollify their bases.

I hope you are right. Rubio proves once again he is Hispanic first and American second. As to the others, they are the usual names, most Rhinos and weak spined people. Their argument about separation of powers is just a cover for their lack of spine and support for this President.
