That Rs think they should still be in charge is unfathomable, and I can't fathom it.

(15,655 posts)If they can't agree to new Senate rules, they have to use the old ones. Which means Mitch stays as Majority Leader. Please tell me I'm wrong.

(152 posts)Senator Whitehouse said last night on All In with Chris Hayes, we need the new agreement to set the new committee assignments. So, with out the new agreement:
- Schumer is the Majority Leader
- Democrats have Committee Chairs, but
- Republicans still have the MAJORITY of seats in the committees

I DESPISE Mitch McConnell. I can see his snorting or whatever a turtle does and enjoying the heck out of this situation.

(83,894 posts)Mitch seems to know all the tricks and how to exploit them. Schumer needs to do that, too. Shrewdness and calculated strategies. And the element of surprise. I think the CONS are presuming they know how Schumer is going to react - by being nice and conciliatory and accommodating to the bad guys. FUCKING ENOUGH of that!!!!!!!

(38,726 posts)....And many will say, "Look at that" but "that" will be just copying McConnell's actions.

(3,263 posts)I personally think we ought to leave it, BUT, require that the person bringing it has to actually speak and be at the lectern, until they win or lose.

(42,770 posts)We almost died laughing. He said each senator will have to decide if Donald j Trump is guilty of inciting an erection. He quickly corrected himself to say exciting an insurrection. But still...

(11,755 posts)I'd have to say he is guilty of that. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

(47,254 posts)It amazes me how they think they can issue orders when they're in the minority.
This also suggests to me that we're not above using the nuclear option. Yay to that, too!
