Trump: Senate Dems "laughing at R's," Senate Republicans "look like fools, just wasting time"

[Miles Archer]

Republican Senate must get rid of 60 vote NOW! It is killing the R Party, allows 8 Dems to control country. 200 Bills sit in Senate. A JOKE!

The very outdated filibuster rule must go. Budget reconciliation is killing R's in Senate. Mitch M, go to 51 Votes NOW and WIN. IT'S TIME!

Republicans in the Senate will NEVER win if they don't go to a 51 vote majority NOW. They look like fools and are just wasting time......

....8 Dems totally control the U.S. Senate. Many great Republican bills will never pass, like Kate's Law and complete Healthcare. Get smart!

If the Senate Democrats ever got the chance, they would switch to a 51 majority vote in first minute. They are laughing at R's. MAKE CHANGE!

1. Look in the mirror, you draft-dodging assclown republican

This is your FAIL. This is a wholly owned republican FAIL.

Lying about it, trying to blame others, is such a lame crock of shit. No wonder no one respects you. Shut up.

I suppose when Comrade Casino loses while playing one of the many $3 million golf game he plays at our taxpayer expense, he blames the winner. Sad. Everyone is laughing at him.

16. No, he blames the groundskeepers.

Obviously they put the holes in the wrong place. SAD!

2. the stupid is strong in this one.

[Proud liberal 80]

3. He must have forgotten Obama's first two years.

And he is mad that 8 Democratic senators can hold up the vote,

but he is perfectly happy with the fact that California and NY with a combined population of 59 million have 4 Dem Senators, while SD, WY, UT, AL, MS, KS, AK, and ID with a combined pop of 21 Million (I could have added more states and not reached Cali/NY's pop) have 16 republican senators.

4. Well theory general will put Whitehouse in order

Was thrown from the window.

5. The only joke is YOU!

Do you actually think anybody listens to your or has respect for you? NO!

[Maeve]

6. It has nothing, NOTHING to do with filibusters, you gnat-brained pile of orange goo!

Get a freaking civics teacher to explain...or maybe a fifth-grader!

7. Complete healthcare? When was that voted on?

I must have missed that.

8. L-O-S-E-R

9. Proof he has dementia...

"If the Senate Democrats ever got the chance, they would switch to a 51 majority vote in first minute. They are laughing at R's. MAKE CHANGE!"

Was he on Mars the past 8 years?

10. You know what outdated system needs to go?

The electoraal college which Has twice (in my lifetime) allowed the loser with a minority of votes to win.

[Funtatlaguy]

12. Bingo!

If only......

[eShirl]

11. More flaccid whining from Orange the Clown.

[Volaris]

13. He thinks he's better at running the Senate that Turtleman...

Come on Mitch, take the bait (knows it's never gonna happen)

Not that turtle is good at his job of being a Patriotic and Reasonable Senator, faaaaar from it. But he is smart enough not to give his enemies the knife he's holding...Donald must have put the wrong powered sugar on his cornflakes again this morning.

[HipChick]

14. I wish he'd just STFU..

[asiliveandbreathe]

15. Seems to me the orange cheezey sleazy stuffed cheeto

is soooooo confused...look around you buffoon...it is the World laughing at you....

[MindPilot]

17. So 8 Democrats control the Senate?

Somehow I'm kinda OK with that.

[Tom Rinaldo]

18. Of course the Democrats had that chance for 6 years avd never took it

This story is from 3010. It only got worse from there:

"Republicans Using Filibuster at Unprecedented Rate


In 2007-2008, the Republican minority in the Senate set a record with 112 filibusters. In 2009 and in the first two months of 2010, the GOP added 40 more. The most filibusters ever by a Democratic majority was 58 in 1999-2000."

Or as this piece from Bloomberg news put it in 2014:

"All Filibusters, All the Time"
