Thanks a lot Joe and Jane Hoodwink. You gave us one-party rule and that one party isn't going to drain any swamp. In fact, they're gnashing their teeth to spill their toxic brew into said swamps.

Fcuk me!

"Laugh-out-loud hypocrisy-honesty from a Republican senator"

You used "honesty" and "Republican" in the same sentence.

Are you starting to "drink the Kool-Aid?"

ever hear of the word Kleptocracy, here let me give you the definition

Definition of kleptocracy
plural kleptocracies
: government by those who seek chiefly status and personal gain at the expense of the governed;
also : a particular government of this kind

kleptocrat play ˈklep-tə-ˌkrat noun
kleptocratic play ˌklep-tə-ˈkra-tik adjective


noun, plural kleptocracies. 1. a government or state in which those in power exploit national resources and steal; rule by a thief or thieves. Origin of kleptocracy Expand. Greek.



And now just ask yourself does this right wing f***ing hypocrite fit the bill, what exactly has he done to your state along with the other clowns running your state and now bringing it front and center to this country.

What is remarkable is that he and his fascist supporters have no PRINCIPLES---------------------none, and he is cronies are more dangerous.

11. "We create our own reality"

Don't forget the 2004 quote attributed to Karl Rove, "'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors ... and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.'"

Democrats need to believe that this is all there is to the Republican party.

(From Democracy Now, Monday, January 9, 2017)
"Senate Hearings Begin for Wealthiest U.S. Cabinet in History Despite lack of Vetting"

AMY GOODMAN:
"In 2008, Senator McConnell insisted that all of Obama's Cabinet appointments be fully vetted before their hearings.
But speaking to "Face the Nation,' this is what the Senate Majority Leader McConnell had to say about Democrats who have been urging similar checks on Trump's Cabinet nominees:"

SEN. MITCH McCONNELL:
"All these little procedural complaints are related to their frustration at having not only lost the White House, but having lost the Senate...I understand that...But we need to sort of grow up here and get past that."
