@LeaderJohnThune@SenateGOP I'm 79 and have been a conservative Republican all my life. I have followed politics for over 50 years and this Congress has been the most impotent, incompetent Congress in my life... especially you & the Senate. You deserved to get your ass kicked. Get used to it. #Loser
@USRoute41 Oh please. You know how Congress works as well as I do. Without 60 votes in Senate what was his alternative? Hell, getting enough votes in House was like herding cats... and with 53 votes in Senate you actually thought they could pass legislation outside of budget recon? #Dreamer
@USRoute41 Congress can't pass doo doo w/o Trump. He'll be VetoDon unless they can compromise. Meanwhile, they investigate, issue subpeonas, yada, yada, yada. Trump does his thing with Ex Branch, Congress does their thing against Trump. We saw how effective that was against Clinton / Obama.
@reggied38537101@USRoute41 Yup.... and what the next Dem president does with EOs will be reversed by the next @GOP president... assuming there is another one. They're good for 4 years, that's about all.
@USRoute41 I doubt his agenda is going to change. He didn't make Miller his Chief of Staff so he could jump the rails and start bowing to the Democrats. Even the Democrats know that. Far more likely is he moved Miller to the top spot because Miller will be his wartime consigliere.
@GardinerIsland@federalreserve Been wondering when Fed govs would start floating a 50 bp hike in Dec if for no other reason to see whether it flies. Yes, they should hike 50. With 2 yr now at 4.74% they are way behind the market on rates.
@tnahha@Hormuzdyar1@GardinerIsland@Nostre_damus Nope.... not buying that. Lot of damage in Iran. They're not going to be able to rebuild in a matter of months. Think years..... many years.
@Hormuzdyar1@GardinerIsland@Nostre_damus I don't consider USD $2 higher for gas and diesel prices as "suffering" if it means Iran's WMDs are neutralized, its ability to fund terrorism hugely diminished, and most of its military destroyed. Gonna take a long time and a lot of lost oil revenue for Iran to rebuild.
@GardinerIsland Garcia rightfully sees Miller as Trump's wartime consigliere. Miller is a pit bull and will just as likely give Garcia the double middle finger as even appear before his committee. With Miller's appointment as his top aide, Trump is doubling down.

@TheMacronical@LongTplexTrader No way. I read months ago that Vance, Rubio, and Hegseth all advised Trump not to go into Iran... that it was not winnable. It was Trump's ego that made him go into Iran b/c he thinks he can negotiate anything with anybody and come out a winner. Worst mistake any prez ever made.
@JupiterCaptainn@GardinerIsland@DNC Yikes! I don't play golf but I have several friends who do, including my brother. Back issues are a common problem. Golf puts a ton of stress / torque on the lumbar spine It's about the worst sport you can play if you have back issues. Living on Percocet is no fun. Best to you.
@JupiterCaptainn@GardinerIsland@DNC 6 spine surgeries? OMG! I've had 2 spinal fusions & I can't imagine 6. Major pain. Fortunately, both were successful & corrected my spondo conditions. I have to be very careful what I do but so long as I'm careful I'm pain free. My prayers will be with you. I've been there.
