Frustration boils over with Senate's 'legislative graveyard'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senators are growing increasingly frustrated as legislative activity has slowed to a crawl during the first half of the year.

The Senate voted on two bills Thursday, breaking a nearly two-month drought during which Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has focused instead on judicial nominations, his top priority.

The lack of floor action has left lawmakers publicly complaining, even though the high-profile feuding between President Trump and congressional Democrats makes it highly unlikely that large-scale bipartisan legislation will succeed heading into the 2020 elections.

Tensions boiled over onto the Senate floor this week when Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) knocked the slow start to the new Congress, characterizing lawmakers as having done “nothing, zilch, zero, nada.”

Senator Kennedy, you guys either need to get rid of cocaine Mitch or take him to the back room and beat the shit out of him till he relents.

1. You're frustrated, Senator Kennedy?

Talk to the Majority Leader, then. Unless you and your caucus are willing to install a new Leader, piss off. Your complaints mean nothing, since you are in a unique position to do something about it.

2. "...till he relents."

Don't stop there - keep giving him the business, then at some point vote yourself a new leader.

3. He obstructed for 8 years when Obama was POTUS - and he's still doing it now??

4. On the bright side, the republicans have greatly pleased Pooty Poot

The repubes are pissing all over America as they merrily follow their ignoble republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief into the Land of Lies & Fail. But they are fulfilling russia's darkest, most evil designs on the USA.

History will remember the republicans as greedhead traitors.
