Senate Dems grinding senate business to a crawl

[DeminPennswoods]

It appears senate Democrats are objecting to routine unanimous consent requests and slowing that chamber's business to a crawl.

Tweet:

Another Democratic objection to a routine consent request. They are treating this as a crisis.

1. I wish they could do much, much more.

2. GOOD. This IS a crisis.

No movement on ANYTHING until we get an independent investigation.

3. Keep it up. Don't let the Republicans do a damned thing

until they address this crisis situation.

6. Lindsey Graham, John McCain and Susan Collins just killed one of Donald Trumps favorite bills

It’s worth noting that Collins, Graham, and McCain are the three Republican Senators who have voice the most concern about Trump’s Russia scandal over the past months. It’s equally notable that their three votes alone can serve to shift the entire balance of power in the Senate, as it leaves the GOP with just forty-nine other votes, which is not a majority. So the three of them can effectively take control of the Senate.

No matter what people think of Twitter journalists, and Palmer, the above is fact, and hopeful news. Not all Repugs are Freedom Caucus, there are some middle of the road ones there, and the Trump situation has now gotten to the point where siding with Ryan and cruz and etc. is looking bad for reputations.

4. They will only make things worse if given the opportunity.

So don't play into their hands.
