There's no guarantee either that I will be on this Earth in 2018, nor that he will be around to run for Senate.

Beyond that, I observe that "If the Lord wills" translates to Arabic as "inshallah". The followers of Mad Mo serve as a cautionary tale regarding that philosophy.

The real problems may be here, certainly not all of them but a few real cuckservatives. Sessions should beat the ones I’ve asterixed daily with a cane no thicker than his thumb.

Just saying, I ain’t ruling out any kind of weird move in this picture.

The rules that we knew are being smashed.

The “good Democrat” is kind of like the way the idea of “good Samaritan” looked in gospel times. What will a person do if he finds himself unexpectedly free? Then we will see the difference between a weak person and a willfully wicked person.

What gave us a Kim Davis and her witness? Well, we DID know she was a believer. But not yet for all that long.

Easy solution.

Any agency that the Senate fails to confirm a cabinet member within 30 days will simply be eliminated.

The vast majority of Americans won't put up with demonic-rat nonsense.

POTUS Trump can go on National TV to speak to the nation about the importance of seating his cabinet without delay "in these perilous times," and the demonic-rats will fold the following day.

President Trump should also send the name of Scalia's replacement to the U.S. Senate on the first business day following his inauguration.

No rest for the wicked senators.

Who is Merrick Garland?
Obama’s nominee for SCOTUS, an appointment which the Republican-controlled Senate declined to even hold confirmation hearings on.

What will a person do if he finds himself unexpectedly free?

In Joe Manchin's case, you're asking if he will give up his love of big government, socialism, and gun control.

Pray for his conversion.

For the SC fight, republican nominees should be prepared to respond to questions, by airing all the dirty laundry of the questioning senator. Rumor and anonymous accusations should be included. Nothing should be off the table.

Why that's what twitter is for don't ya know. President Trumps gonna have some late night fun!

“Conservative Review ratings:
McConnell: 40%
McCain: 32%
Graham: 30%
Manchin: 16%
FYI”

As a Republican I bet those numbers would change quite a lot for Sen Manchin.

Rush always said liberals are funny when they are out of power.

“They can try that in 2019 when Tump is a lame duck.”

Trump won’t be a lame duck until late 2023.

But for their addled minds, the self-proclaimed geniuses of the Democrat party would realize the deciding difference: The GOP controlled the Senate and did not allow a recess - that would have allowed Obama Constitutionally to make a temporary recess appointment. [That appointment would expire at the end of that session of the Senate (thus up to 2-years).]

That's exactly how liberal darling William J. Brennan began his career on the SCOTUS.

While Obama can't make a recess appointment of Garland without the GOP Senate declaring a recess, the GOP controlled Senate can/will call an early recess for a Trump recess appointment - that will last till January 2019.

You’re probably right. I meant in the fourth year of his term.

That’s actually OK. It will cut through the chaff pretty quick.

Very true. But there has to be something very satisfying about throwing trash into the faces of corrupt haughty legislators.
