I already miss Nancy "Iron Balls" Pelosi's leadership. Let's give her an honorary role as Congressional Leader in both House & Senate every year during budget negotiations. She really knows how to whip the mix.

Did those Democrat Senators have a plan to force Johnson to call back the House into session for this ulterior motive?

I have my doubts, but that would be a pretty cool trick.

Could it be that some people were clapping and cheering the Booers? Seems most likely to me.

Glad to be out of this discussion -- currently watching Harry Potter (again) in the background. Carry on.

Oh yeah, that'll pay for my knee replacement. Woohoo!

It's more like Ameritish with Liz, that great "old-timey" way the classic actors would speak on screen -- and often in public too.

I miss Liz.

Just checked back in -- looks like you're good!

Is that still going on? Wow.

Short 'n sweet.

Have you put a presidential exploratory committee together yet? Keep us posted, Mayor Pete!

Maybe you can take comfort in the thought that those particular Trump supporters probably live in Russia and are Putin's.

Cruz would be more useful (and fitting) as the Chair of a bag-o-dicks.

Using my imagination here for a sec...

Perhaps this is really intended to force the House back in and suddenly the demand for the Epstein files is front & center and undeniable.

How are these senators justifying their votes?

Part of me wonders if it's the quickest way to force the House back into session to get the Epstein files released, and then vote No on the crap later. I'd enjoy seeing that game of chess go down.

(Don't harsh my ride - cynics can dream too)

Trump Admin wants to grow their own Troll Farm but they're too incompetent to even do that.

"coalescing"?

Brutal? No. It's Brutiful.
