    “and the American people demand it.”

    Here Reince, try an oldie but goodie on for size,
    “a majority of Americans” disagree with your facts.
    And that’s just the ones who bothered to vote…

    How do you get a criminal element into our government? elect Trump…How do we know they are crooks? their past actions….this is so ugly, there really are no words in the English Language, that can adequately describe our Nation’s true Dilemma….

    It’s going to be fun watching the repubs sodomize America’s fragile democracy.

      “fun” is not the first word that comes to mind.

    Why bother, we know they are corrupt and lack ethics already, it’s obvious. Is it time to burn it all down and start over yet? Perhaps it needs to get more obvious …

    • Mensa Member January 9th, 2017 at 11:21

      Why bother?

      I can think of a bunch of reasons. (or are you being sarcastic?)

    The hypocrisy is strong with the repubs

    Dear Prieb: Screw you.

    Did somebody say no background checks needed ?

    Didn’t they try that at our naval base in DC ?

    Republicans don’t need no stinkin’ background checks! They’re republicans. Jesus knows very well what’s in their tax returns, and that’s all that matters. So DON’T QUESTION JESUS!!!

    Blind Faith in rock and roll is OK–
    Blind Faith in political appointments, not a good idea

    Once again..

    What kind of odds can I get that at least one of these Cabinet members will resign in disgrace before the end of 2017?

    • granpa.usthai January 10th, 2017 at 09:18

      you’d probably need to get with patrick’s christian bookie out in Vegas for that one, but offhand, I’d say go with everything, including your shirt/blouse.

    Monica Crawley is Alan Colmes sister in law. She is a plagiarist.

      Expound upon your claims.
      Or go away.
      Either is good.

    The more these bastards say there’s no reason to do background checks, the more the reasons they have to be done.

    Isn’t it beautiful to watch these foul repukes squirming and screaming foul?

      They aren’t squirming at all. Whenever the right gets power they start wielding it with impunity. They don’t give a crap about what’s legal or traditional. All they care about is harming the people who don’t agree with them politically.

  15. granpa.usthai January 10th, 2017 at 09:15

    best to go ahead and have them completed – just in case there are some tax questions that MUST be answered.

    10 days …

    and counting.

  16. Buford2k11 January 10th, 2017 at 09:32

    well…He is right in a way…we don’t really need to have them vetted, we already know they are crooks, and criminals, and they will continue their corrupt ways…

  17. The Original Just Me January 10th, 2017 at 10:28

    I agree with Priebus. No Need to check the Scum out. We already know they are a bunch of Crooks. Liar’s and Thieves. May the Memory of The U.S. be GOOD.
