You can't expect the orange anus mouth to do any work now, do you? Which golf club of his is he off to now?

He started this shit show. Every day since January 2017 has been a Trump shit show.

the bill to consent Kav to the court is out of committee.

This is now up to MCTurtle and Trump.

McTurtle doesn't even have to ask Trump to reopen the FBI investigation...he can simply call for a full Senate vote and run the risk that he has or can get 50 (tie goes to Pence).

If he goes to Trump and Trump says "no"... then McTurtle can go back to the Senate and say "I tried" and force the vote.
