GOP Senator Slams DOJ Legal Opinion As Nonsense That Floods The Swamp

I am so proud that my GOP was the first to come out against Dump!!!

Although it wasn't a strong one, I believe that by opening the door more will get on the wagon. And with his long standing in the Senate and DNC, I believe, truly believe this may be the straw that broke the camels back...

4. I need more than one objection. Grassley's been on the payroll for way too long.

He's likely being tactical, thinking that a comment here and there will ensure that he'll outlast Trumpy in government. OTOH, he may be pressuring Trumpy to fork over more of that Russian laundered stuff gushing out of an open spigot. Uruguay still has cheap land, and Chuckie is thinking about retirement.

He didn't like it one bit when he found out that Nunez and Chaffetz were getting twice as much as he's getting.

enough to not elect this Ignorant People. Remember,at one time,the Iowa Public School System was rated number one in the Nation. With Wisconsin and California fighting it out for number two.

Talk about a messed up group. That will happen when the the so called good book hits folks on the head.

What is interesting right now is,the Ag Market is going South and they blame Obama. You get what you pay for. Remember the Farm Foreclosure nightmare of the Eighties,spend weekends helping these same Knuckleheads save their farms.
