Democrats are finally taking full control of the Senate after a power-sharing agreement has been reached between Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

'I am happy to report this morning that the leadership of both parties have finalized the organizing resolution for the Senate,' Schumer said on the Senate floor Wednesday morning. 'We will pass the resolution through the Senate today, which means the committees can promptly set up and get to work with Democrats holding the gavels.'

The announcement comes after two weeks of deadlock between the leaders.

Fools. The Dems have two independents. They are not Dems so the Dems don’t have control.

McConnell’s version of power-sharing: Give it all to the Democrats.

“Fools. The Dems have two independents. They are not Dems so the Dems don’t have control.”

The GOP has Dems, so the Dems ARE in control.

So what did Mitch obtain in return for essentially giving up the ability to force Kamala to show up and preside of the Senate for every routine vote?

McConnell is one of the most despicable liars and traitors we have had the misfortune to have in Congress. He deserves to be punched and kicked across the room, then horsewhipped. Ain’t gonna be no “sharing”; once Schumer smells daylight, it’s gonna be 100% the Dimmocommie way, disaster for America.

They caucus with the Democrats so they are Democrats organizationally.

The Democrats are the majority party in the Senate. McConnell doesn’t get to decide that reality.

Schumer agreed to spring for a new pair of Nina Burleighs for Mitch and each of his team.
