and working for Putin, and is he the head of the Senate, because he has best make up his mind, if not apply for a job in the administration or get out of congress (like Rep Kildee said) and quit making the Senate a graveyard for the House bills, he is sure proud of being the Grim Reaper, he is death, looks like death, and he should take his old 77 year aged body into retirement !!

"If the President is in favor of a number of things that he has discussed openly and publicly, and I know that if we pass it, it will become law, I'll put it on the floor," McConnell said on the radio show.

What's the point of putting forth an effort on bills that will never be signed into law?
The Senate has real important work dealing with Judicial Confirmations and other items of business. Wasting time on busy work to no end isn't "being a whore" for anyone, just focusing efforts on important, doable work.
If the House is serious about passing legislation, they should contact their President themselves. Find out what he's interested in.
then just send the whole Congress home. Stop paying them. That's a million saved. Just let the President use EOs. Who needs bills. The way the system was setup was.
The House hammers out a H. bill and sends it to the Senate
The Senate looks at it and writes their own S. bill and sends it back to the House
The House makes changes to the S bill and sends the new H bill back to the Senate
At some point, either the House or the Senate can elect not to act on it and kills ir or
The house and the Senate comes to an agreement and it becomes a Congressional Bill and gets sent to the President.
The President either signs it and it becomes a law or
he vetoes it and it goes back to the Senate.Now the Senate and the House can elect to try and do a veto proof vote or just kill it.
Or they can come up with a comprimize to satisfy the President to get him to sign it.
If you take away all those steps, just shut down Capital Hill, send everyone home and stop paying them.
Thanks for the civics lesson.
But in 2020, the House of Reps is just so radical that they send a load of shit over which they know won't be acceptable, and doesn't even address things that the Senate is even interested in.
BTW, the Senate IS working, getting judges confirmed at a tremendous rate, so it isn't like they are just sitting on their keisters.
You keep tell us about it all. The Hannity/Rush defense. There are over 400 HR bills that sit under Moscow Mitches desk that most should be acted on.
None should be acted on. They're shit bills.
What I am seeins the Rump takeover of the Judges. Since he doesn't have the power to do away with it like Mussolini did in 1936, he puts in all his followers into those positions which amounts to the same thing. It's an end around the Consitution that could not be done without the complicity of the Senate. First it was the Executive Branch, then it's the Court system.

Appointing constitutionally loyal judges is hardly an end run around the Constitution.
In 3 short years, Rump has done quite a bit of damage to the infrastructure.
Beating the crap out of the Democrats does damage to the Democrats' infrastructure, yes.
What exactly the hell is wrong with you anyway?
