That Damn Tweety

Letting that right wing hack John Feehery talk over Steve McMahon. I HATE that. If Feerhery is sure the GOP will take the Senate, then how come he says impeachment won't make it through the Senate? He reminds me of Mr Haney on Green Acres. Best snake oil salesman if there ever was. In fact, most of the GOP act like the people of Hootersville.

Even if the Repugs take the Senate, it is very unlikely that they will have a 2/3 majority, and even then, not every Repug is guaranteed to vote for removal. It is an extreme measure that has never been carried out.

But I wouldn't put it past them to try. As we all know, these assholes voted 50+ times to get rid of Obamacare. Costs us 24 Billion for their temper tantrum shut down. They're at 7% approval rating why not go for the gold.

They'll do what they think will get their base the most stirred up, because that's about all they do anymore.
