  • O'Connell is the LAST person who should talk about proceeding with integrity and upholding tradition. His refusal to allow a sitting president to seat a Supreme Court justice was abysmal. Then he refused to adhere to that brand new REFUSAL POLICY in order to give his president of choice A THIRD JUSTICE in 4 years. But alas, it appears his greed will be the downfall of his party, because America, it turns out, prefers women's rights more than politics.

    I watched Speaker Johnsons' remarks and it is so sad he is a hypocrite.
  • GOP playbook: hobble and obstruct the government until it can't function and then run your campaign on how the government doesn't function and can't get anything done.

    Mitch McConnell! You did NOT do your duty in leading robustly to impeach trump following the January 6th insurrection! You could have and you should have but instead you took the easy way out!
  • Says the ultimate abuser of the process🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
  • The United States Senate has once again failed the American people. Like other "ruling classes" in history, they are blinded by their own self-serving arrogance. Their total contempt & disrespect of the House of Representatives, the U.S. Constitution, and the American people provide convincing evidence. Most of them are guilty of impersonating Americans.
  • Hurry up and retire already, McConnell. You should have impeached defended Trump when you had the chance.

    In recent posts I've made, I've said that as great a document as the Constitution is, it has one fatal flaw. Like those in the 1700's who created this document, the Constitution requires people with honor and integrity to protect it and abide for it. With the Senate majority being in the hands of the Democrats, they have shown not ONE democrat senator has neither honor nor integrity to follow the Constitutional requirement of an impeachment trial. Just as they have ignored the blatant disregard of the law by Mayorkas concerning the security of the southern border.
  • Mitch wants to take this seriously? Why be serious about impeachment now? Sit down.

    Most of the people in this country are as sick of McConnell as they are of Trump. It will be great to see both hit the street.
