    Imagine if Congress actually utilized the power they hold instead of constantly giving it up.

      One of my arch enemies is Devin Nunes. He personally put the brakes on any congressional oversight into the trump administration. There are worse people in this world but that fucker set the tone for how congress was going to treat that ass bag traitor.

    Remember how Collins and Murkowski were totally going to make sure Roe v. Wade never got struck down?

    Even if you discount murkowski and collins (the ones that usually have these bouts of integrity) they still have the votes to approve.

    but of course there’s no need to discount anyone because murkowski and collins fall in line almost every time after they have baited all the left and center media into giving them the hero headlines.

      But don’t forget, they’re going to get this all straightened out in 2 years. Don’t give up the fight! Resist, and spend all your political energy on the party that can’t beat orange painted hitler grandpa.

      Dont worry, autocrats are known for freely ceding their power.

      And don’t you dare say Dems are a sunk cost.

    More honest headline: “Murkowski Lies In Order to Pretend To Be Moderate Again”

    Her and Susan Collins will only ever vote against nominees that they know will still have enough votes to be confirmed anyway.
