It means Mitch lost 10 RINOS and is trying to put the best face on it. The children Rinos need to be spanked as hard as possible, yank any committee chairs, go public and expose their names and perfidy.

There’s a reason he threw those two Senate seats from Georgia, you know.

A lot of that happened when he rejected Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court, I recall. And then he turns around and consents to Garland becoming the worst AG in history thus far . . .

The deal is done. Everyone should be angry, but they are angry for the wrong reasons. Oh well. They can be angry again shortly when the debt ceiling is hit again.
I like R’s much better than D’s, but I left the R party in 2007 because they spend like Democrats and they started the practice of not producing an annual budget which is why we have to deal with our own debt ceiling.

“It means Mitch lost 10 RINOS and is trying to put the best face on it.”
Maybe. He should let them hang their necks out. The Rats can do this themselves and attacked Republicans previously for doing exactly what they want now.
The hypocrisy is so thick. But why give them anything? I say let them do it themselves and go ahead and allow the procedure to let the Rats do it.
Let’s see if this is so.

All they will do is pass a bill saying they don’t have to.
What really needs to happen is a Convention of States and vote to impliment yearly financial as well as electronic audits of all Congressman, Senators and their families, as well as ban any stock insider trading to them, families, and friends.
