"Republicans do not want to legislate. We want to cause trouble and BLAME it on Democrats. Nor do we want EVERYBODY who is eligible to vote, VOTE "

Mitch is not Majority leader and it is killing him. Schumer is and if Mutch wants to pout, show him his corner in which to do so.

... That was with the filibuster intact. The minority misused the filibuster and blocked everything. So McConnell is threatening to do what they are already doing.

Jimmy Chao's "coal" freighter - and the source of much of the family's wealth.

Found by Colombian authorities in 2014 to be carrying over pure yayo with a street value of over $1 million, the barge may also be tied to large number of cocaine kilo packets found off the shores of Rotterdam in recent years (for pickup by waiting speedboats).

The Ping May officially carries coal from Santa Marta, Colombia (a major cocaine export hub), to Rotterdam.

Because if they could, wouldn't they have already done it?

.... MoscowMitch says it is on any given day for any given reason that BENEFITS him and the Republicans seeking to hold on to POWER.

Stop playing games with him. He will move the goal post if it benefits him.

Look at three SCOTUS seats that never should have happen.
