It’s an indictment of the American people who voted for all of this nonsense over the last 50 years.

Exactly! There are RINO politicians because there are RINO voters. Politicians can only do so much. In the end they have to have the votes.

Doing EVERYTHING they can to lose the Senate in 2020. Because losing the House is just not enough for these rotten scumbags. I’m done with them.

That was actually what Trump was offered and what he rejected. I think he believes it interferes with executive privilege, which it does, but the problem is that Dem administrations misuse this so much that it’s insane. I think he should have accepted it, but that’s life. I’m hoping he has a better plan.

I called Tillis twice. At least he listened...

Dogs can listen, even understand a few commands. If you train them with treats they can do quite a bit.

Most dogs however are loyal to their owners.

To Tweet or not to Tweet, that is the question.

A Tweet is worth 140 Characters.

Bada boom...

Required 2/3 is 67 votes. Not threat override or even in House.

the Senate would have to pick up one or two more votes to have a 2/3 majority

No, they need 8 more votes. It's 2/3, not 3/5. And the house would need 45 more yes votes to get to 2/3. Also 67 votes required in senate for conviction in impeachment.
