1. Another display of fascism, no wonder they hate Obama, they would treat the whole nation this way

if they got the chance.
Not even one minute for the author of an amendment, zero debate, the GOP and their media henchmen do not want any facts to filter out. And few are as the mass media looks away deliberately as democracy is dismantled one step at a time.

But look, Ballgate!

2. What a dysfunctional joke the U.S. government is !!!

4. It has been for a long time.

And it will probably stay that way for a long, long time.

3. And there's this...

...The open amendment filled Senate process that Mitch McConnell promised when he became Majority Leader evaporated as soon as the Koch brothers came calling. What McConnell doesn’t want to admit is that the Democratic strategy to turn Keystone XL into a real jobs/climate change bill was working. Senate Democrats were going to keep holding Republican feet to the fire, and they didn’t like it. (emphasis added)

There is no way that McConnell was about let anything get in the way of the Republican Party’s real duty of serving the Koch brothers. When push came to shove, McConnell quickly went back on his word and shut down the so-called “open” process. McConnell behavior is evidence of the Republican-run Senate’s real priorities. Nothing is more important to Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans than the Koch brothers.

6. He's been an asshole

for as long as I've known about his existence but he's sure not the only majority leader to block amendments.

Whining about him blocking them now makes me wonder if it'll be any different if/when the Dems take the Senate back from the scumbags in two years.

7. He's perfected assholery to an art form.

A fact of which he is extremely proud.

8. It's not as if he had far to go.

All he needed was a small injection of majority power, and *poof* full asshole mode was achieved.
