1. Damn! That's the best pic of the moment yet! N/t

3. Mitch, "to a completely scorched earth Senate."

Like you did with Obama Mitch? When you tried to block everything he was doing in order to make the
American people suffer so President Obama would be a one term President.

Or like your helping to hide that Russia was installing Trump 2016?

Or your ramming through Amy Coney Island Barrett?

Or the phony ass "investigation" into Brett Kavanaugh sexual assaults?

How many right wing assholes did you pack the Federal Courts with Mitch?

Merrick Garland ring a bell?

Or blocking any election/cyber security measures?

Or changing KY law so when your dying ass leaves the senate the seat will stay in GOP hands?

Or your hiring that young asshole who bothered that Native American?

Or your laughing about being a dick to the democrats?

4. Sit down, Mitch. SHut up. Gohome

"Does anyone really believe the American people were voting for an entirely new system of government by electing Joe Biden to the White House and a 50-50 senate? This is a 50-50 Senate. There was no mandate to completely transform America by the American people on November 3."

Well, Mitch, 81 million people did vote for change. Your 50 GOP senators represent 15 million fewer Americans than do the 50 Democratic Senators.

But do continue....

5. Darn! You didn't include Mitch's "If...IF" with his finger threateningly extended...

That instantly caused me to shudder in fear.

6. Exactly. Fuck him and any other apologist who wants to save the filibuster. (n/m)

7. Oh, I love those pics of Biden!

I never saw those before, they're priceless.

8. There is a very practical reason to tread lightly on the Filibuster

The confidence that Dems will hold the Senate is misplaced. Control depends on the health of a handful of older Democratic Senators from states where a Republican governor will appoint a replacement from their own party. Just one member dying in office changes EVERYTHING!

Another reason for Justice Bryer to step down NOW! No liberal judge will be advanced unless Dems control the White House AND the Senate. McConnel has made that clear.

14. To which the response should be...

“Go for it, you fucker! Don’t wait. Do it now! And EVERY DAMN DAY I will use the bully pulpit and point out to the entire country what a do-nothing obstructionist fraud you and your entire party ARE! Burn the damn lifeboats!”

But that’s just me...

15. Harry Truman successfully attacked the "do-nothing congress"

As one would expect, this Republican congress opposed most of Truman's Fair Deal bills, but Truman turned this into an advantage during his 1948 campaign. He appealed directly to the people and accused the 80th congress of being a "Do Nothing Congress". Despite the fact that they had passed a total of 906 bills, the nickname stuck. And, despite conventional wisdom at the time, Truman won his 1948 reelection win over his Republican rival Dewey, and the Democrats gained back 9 Senate seats and 73 seats in the house. So today, when you hear the nickname "Do Nothing Congress", remember Truman and the 1946 election. For, it was in January of 1947, that Harry S. Truman began his re-election campaign.

What was true in 1947 is still true in 2021
