How fucking long has the Senate had to work out the debate
rules on this damned Defense Authorization bill? And, for an hour and a half since it came to the floor....nothing but quorum call after quorum call.

My advice to Reid, (although, he won't listen to a peon like me)....tell the Republicans that either they back away from the filibusters....or, he's pulling the whole damned bill. And, stick to it.

NOT voting on that damned bill would be a win for Democrats, and for our troops, and for the American people.

QUIT TRYING TO WORK WITH THE DAMNED REPUKELIKKKANS.

2. I think we're down to the Hail Mary pass
with no timeouts left.

6. What IS going on?
Every now and then I turn on the Senate...
and it always a quorom call.

Are they working on anything???
What has been proposed today?

The only one I caught all day was Jeff Sessions talking about not restoring habeus corpeus.
