Snake Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 In 2013, Sen. Reid and other Democrats pushed forward with a rule change dubbed the “nuclear option” to eliminate filibusters for all presidential nominations except Supreme Court justices. This means that a simple majority of 51 votes instead of 60 votes is necessary to confirm executive office appointments. The Republicans are set to enter 2017 with at least 51 senators and can gain another seat with a likely win in the December senate run-off race in Louisiana.

Zambroski Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Another arrogant play by the Dems to grab whatever they want....and of course, it never entered their mind that they'd ever relinquish the steering wheel again. Too fucking funny. Reid is a complete putzing imbecile, only just marginally behind Pelosi. An angry white man who's not happy about never being picked in his grade school kick-ball teams. And now...he's getting back at everyone. Boo fucking hoo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriftBusta Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 "There is wisdom in the scriptural admonition to “be like a wise man who built his house on the rock” instead of the “foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.” Obama built his legacy on the sand of unilateralism, instead of the rock of bipartisan consensus. And great will be the fall of it come Jan. 20, 2017." https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-fall-of-the-house-of-obama-is-coming-and-its-his-own-fault/2016/11/14/d0151cac-aa7d-11e6-977a-1030f822fc35_story.html?utm_term=.ec49b06145d9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And too bad...so sad. And here's the kicker, I think when all this gets settled...the people he is putting in place are gonna finish that lying bitch off. OUCH!

Cold War Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 They honestly believed they would be in power forever. Look at the guys on here still posting their nonsense. Like Trump winning was some kind of a fluke. Even getting smacked right across the forehead with a 2x4 wouldn't jar them to reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
