It might be possible to be dumber than Louie Gohmert but one would have to work really hard to be so.

Better to focus on facts, and finding them, than getting so much into personalities.

Mueller endured that tirade (incipient stroke?) with dignity. 

Amusing that several of the ranters (did they have actual questions?) wanted the SC investigation to be of Hillary Clinton and the DNC.   Seem to be confused as to Bob's assignment.

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

Lots of ass covering in that Senate

Candidates don't want to answer - during a debate, for instance - why they voted YEAH on a simple appointment.

If that ain't some chickenshit behavior...

And the Senate Majority Leader won’t even allow votes on legislation coming from the House.

Can you explain, in your own words, why there is not a conflict of interest when a DoD Secretary is a former lobbyist for the defense industry?

If you can, then we have a chat.  If not, and if you will not respond to obvious questions like that, why are you in the Politics forum?

The mere fact that candidates voted against does not form an actual case for or against them, as you seem to insist.  The real question is, do they have sensible grounds for their vote?  And it is that to which I direct my question, the first sentence of this post.

Is it that one or ALL of these SIX wonderful legislators will vote NO on EVERY TRump appointee - since they dont feel him worthy?

If so they are not doing their job properly.
