It's a big elite club, and, we ain't in it.

They rule over us and do whatever the frick they want.

President of Senate has limited powers, not like Chief Exec.

John Thune is running and hiding because he doesn’t want to get voter ID across the finish line.



Thune leads the McConnell caucus within the Senate GOP …. he is McConnell’s hand picked protégé .

They do not care if they are in the majority or the minority in Congress. They vote as a bloc, and they do not provide support until they have received their necessary indulgences.

They don’t care about election integrity in the least …. because it is less work to sit back and be the toll collectors.

Just like with immigration, our Legislative branch is unwilling to do their jobs …. Unwilling to provide the legal governance to write good laws.

I doubt our legislators even remember how to write Law …. they’ve been completely reliant on lobbyists for decades.

Imagine the additional strides that could’ve already been made by this point in time if we had Republican leadership that actually worked with DJT instead of passively-aggressively trying to run out the clock on his administration.

The senate gets nothing by done and wants vacation.

It’s a taxing time insider trading so much

Recess appointments proceed now?


Senate has to be gone 10 days and not have scheduled a pro forma session.
They are scheduled to be gone longer than 10 days but don't know if they schedule pro forma...... I'm thinking they will to protect from Trump doing recess appointments.
