McConnell is very loud about the degree of his not caring a RAT'S A**. This is what Josh said"It does appear that Republicans in the Senate are forming their own cheap-suit caucuses...folding and rubber-stamping the nominees of the incoming Trump administration".Cheap-suit caucus. I kinda like it. Cheap suits cheap people. It figgers. less

Jammed together on purpose so that people will be overwhelmed and not have time to give the proper scrutiny to everything. The hope will be that the hearings will go quickly since there is no time allowed for in-depth questioning. Typical Trump. Fears questions. Also I wonder whom he will allow to attend the press conference? Is everyone invited or will he restrict the audience to only friendly members of the media and lie about why it isn't an open news conference to everyone? I dunno what he'll do. Maybe cancel the conference at the last minute because he is really petrified of the press? Of course he could limit it to just him and Sean Hannity. He can count on that guy 24/7.The weird thing is that the hearings can't take place LEGALLY until/unless the Ethics Committee has received all required paperwork and vetted the folks. Most of them have... less

They cut budgets left and right and increase budgets left and right and they don't give a rat's ARSE about increasing debt or deficit. Why?

Are they born that way or are they formed that way by other people/circumstances/environment/mental defect?

That is what a vindictive person does. Obsesses and getsbackat. Are you a getbackatter and obsessive or d'ya think you would make a good president for all the people? Would you punish/silence the opposition or does freedom of speech/press mean something sacred to you? Even when the speech/press criticizes you? Why?

Why?

He isn't handsome or physically attractive or charming or charismatic. He sees himself that way of course but we all know he isn't that person and never can be. Melania is beautiful and charming and I think probably charismatic in person but she will not be the president. She has made it very clear that being First Lady is not as important to her as being Barron's mom. Good for her! I hope she sticks to her guns and doesn't allow her husband to force her into leading a life that isn't a good fit. less
