Out of the Closet!

President Obama wanted to warn the American public that Russian foxes were in the electoral henhouse back in the summer of 2016 but Republican  Senate Leader Mitch McConnell said "No", refusing to share Obama's bipartisan warning with the american people. That's why you only heard about Hillary's emails and not t-Rump's collusion with the enemy in the days before the vote.

So keep this in mind: If the Democrats take the Senate they can censure McConnell with a simple majority vote, and a censure is serious Senatorial business. (An outright expulsion would be preferable but that requires a 2/3's vote.)

As for treason, of which Mitch is no doubt also culpable, a conviction for treason would be icing on the cake.

Bring on that Blue Tsunami!

Edward

Lefty,

Once Collins decided to vote yes, Kavanaugh was in. Had Manchin voted no the best we could hope for would be a tie, with Pence casting the deciding vote. Manchin voting no would have changed nothing.

The Democrat base in WV isn't enough to elect Manchin. He will need Republican votes as well, and he has gotten them in the past. He made the calculation that the Kavanaugh vote would help him, and he knows his people better than you or I.

Lefty (mod)

Edward, Manchin was elected Democratic Senator in a Red state was because the people thought he was a better choice. All he's done by approving Kavanaugh is to lose his Democratic base. It was a lose-lose situation for him but the better political solution would have been a "no" vote. A pox upon his house.

Edward

Lefty,

Manchin did what he had to do to have a chance at reelection. If Dems stand any chance of taking control from McConnell they need numbers. Losing Manchin would mean they have to pick up another victory somewhere else.

I'm hesitantly confidant that Dems will take control of the House. That will give them power to investigate all this and maybe clean some of it up.

The options for taking control of the Senate are very few. It's not impossible, but the stars need to align just right. It's a simple game of numbers. We are better off with Manchin than without him.

I imagine that parties in high school and college will be different after today. Pussy grabbing and boofing can take thier proud place in the bright light of day. How can anyone be prosecuted for something that will never be reported again? Are you stil proud to be an american? Can i be a southern canadian?

Lefty (mod)

I just read that the White House is stumping for Manchin's Republican opponent. It's the typical kind of Trumpian gratitude that Manchin wasn't warned about when he attended Judas Goat school.

Edward

I'm guessing Collins was promised matching funds for that 2.something million raised for her opponent should she vote for Kavanaugh.

Murkowski opted out, but Manchin opted in, since the tie was going to be broken by Pence and Kavanaugh was a sure thing.

It will be interesting having a Supreme Court Justice who committed perjury to get his position. Now we just need to get Democrats in power so that he can be impeached for that crime.

But, how many emmys does FAUX report they have?
