More virtue signaling from the hacks. How about approving some judges and appointments? Worthless trash.

•After pressure from Trump, Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Todd Young, R-Ind., voted against the resolution after initially supporting it.

•Trump earlier this week blasted Hawley, Young and Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Rand Paul, R-Ky., for supporting the legislation, saying all five “should never be elected to office again.”

So these maroons voted for this. Do they think if it passed the Senate and House that President Trump would sign it into law??

Collins gets a wide berth this year. Let her take any-Trump votes all year.

“ It’s Murkowski I have a problem with.”
Yes, more than the other two, I would like to see her out of the senate.

I don’t get how a man without a dick can be such an obnoxious prick.
