McConnell and Romney should be kicked out of the Party with their undermining the President on Mexico. We know Romney has ties to that country it is just how deep.
Exactly Kentucky has their chance and its right now.THey need to get someone better than Matt Bevin to go up against McConnell in the upcoming KY primaries.I can’t believe there is no former military guy or gal with a good record who can’t get the job done against Mitch the _itch.
Raise you hand if you knew that McConnell has already used the nuclear option twice! Why not use it all the time!!!

For the second time in Donald Trump’s presidency, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has triggered what is known as the “nuclear option.”
On Wednesday, McConnell used Senate procedural tactics to bypass a 60-vote threshold required to overcome opposition to slashing the debate time for lower-level executive branch nominations, enabling him to do so with just a simple 51-vote majority, largely along party lines. Later Wednesday, McConnell used the same move to shorten debate time for district court nominations.
McConnell is pulling the lever on the nuclear option to make it so that non-Cabinet-level executive and district court nominations need only two hours of floor debate rather than the existing 30 hours of debate before a final confirmation vote is held.
Republicans tried to pass a resolution requiring as much on Tuesday, but the measure got just 51 of the 60 votes required for adoption.

off topic but related: I just read a piece about Michigan, the ‘Mitten state” (obviously because of it’s shape). Romney was born there. Whadda’ ya think ?
I wonder if Mitt will be attending this yearly function?

<img src=known as the Bilderberg Group announced this week that they will be holding their annual conference at Herringtons Sierra Pines Resort in June of 2019. According to chairman Henri de Castries, the site was chosen due to its remote location and convenient helicopter landing area directly across from the resort.
It makes, um, perfect sense to hold our annual meeting in Sierra City, said Mr. Castries in broken English in a Gish Gallop telephone interview [Gish Gallop is the Broad Street Beacons sister publication]. It is the perfect place with trees and beautiful mountains. its also far away enough to confuse Alex Jones. And its also the final resting place of Adolf Hitler.
The Bilderberg Group, Bilderberg conference, Bilderberg meetings, or Bilderberg Club is an annual private conference of 120 to 150 people of the European and North American political elite, experts from industry, finance, academia, and the media, established in 1954. According to some, the Bilderberg Group is the leadership committee for the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), IMF, World Bank, Trilateral Commission, EU, and powerful central bankers from the Federal Reserve, the ECBs Jean-Claude Trichet, and Bank of Englands Mervyn King. To name a few.
Gish Gallop reached out to local Bilderberg expert Skyy Wolford for his insights on the infamous and secretive group.
I will keep McConnell for judges, Romney can be ridden out on a rail.
