as well as the ability to make appointments need to be placed on hold until the trials and investigation into the Russia collusion have been concluded.

And besides, as McTurtle said, we should wait until elections so that the "people" can be heard!

(What a f**king fraud he is - I can't come close to explaining how much I despise his very presence! )

on appeal. So they need to get the fix in, so Trump doesn't have to pardon them. Just wondering.

that is undone by an executive order!

The nominations to the Supreme Court are SO important, not to lessen the power of the others (look at what they've been able to do regarding IQ45's immigrant rules).

This was a major failing of the Democratic campaign - expressing how important that office is.

We NEED to vote - 2018 - RESIST!!!!!

when they said she should have talked about white people's economic issues.

She did talk about how vile and disgusting his picks would be. We all did.



(reminder, I am NOT talking about the democratic primary, but I am talking about the general and we are allowed to talk about that per the TOS)

I guess it really came down to the fact that "the electorate" - well, no, it was those that chose NOT to vote - didn't see the significance of the position.

GAWD, who couldn't see what an A** he was (well, 63 million, I guess) but didn't have the foresight to understand how it would impact their lives (again, I show my own assness - so many ALWAYS vote against their own best interest!!!!!)

I expect erratic behavior from both this week. Pence as well.

Orin Hatch denies that the rumor he is retiring is true. Maybe he did tell his friend that and then changed his mind after Friday's news dump since he seems to be the next in line not involved in the collusion. Anyway, he is all about supporting Mueller, lol.

I think there is a good chance of it. They are into this up to their ears, I just hope they are brought down before they can do any more damage.
