I was stunned. Never saw anything like that before. It was on C-Span, I'm sure they'll rerun it. George II Feb 2019 #6

Turtle looked like he wanted to ugly rage cry during the section about reducing healthcare costs.

for his goddamned wall which will then have Nancy sending a resolution of disapproval to the Senate where all the little Rethuggies will have to actually go on the record and vote on it. It's a real lose-lose for the Turtle and he's probably beside himself because he came up against someone who knows how to use the rules too.

I was folding laundry and I thought that was what I saw--a total snub between McConnell and the Trumpster. McConnell then turned and walked toward the front of the House as Trump continue up the aisle glad-handing.

Hummmm. Very interesting.

I had the sound muted for tRump’s speech but did look up at one point to notice McConnell looked like he could bite the head off of a bat. No idea what tRumpolini was saying but McConnell sure was not liking it.
