Congress must be the adult in the country. Mr. Trump is like a pinball machine pre flappers.

NO

The Repubs, especially McConnell had better be careful. After the 2020 elections they might very well lose the senate and the potus and then they’ll be the ones to suffer for years with these decisions

The Nuclear Option will fail because of the two Trump hating Repub. Senators, Flake and Corker.

Step up McConnell...

Embarrassing costly circus by our so called President & Congress. Lock doors of the Capitol until Congress passes a budget. Shutdown Mar Largo; take trump's golf clubs & TV away. shutdown his twitter; get him a psychiatrist to give him a thorough mental examination.

It's something that each side says should never be done, unless it's their side doing it.

What a loser.......vote Mitch out then throw away the key he is not worthy KY! votehimoutthenlockhimup!!!!!!

Imagine if an additional $5 billion was spent on education instead of a stupid wall....

Disturbed people. McConnell is a nuts as Trump.

Don’t t do it Mitch

Polonium pie for Democrats who don't play along?

Just to be clear even if the GOP agreed to that option. It's against the law because you CAN NOT use the Nuclear Option on BUDGET Matters. realDonaldTrump is too stupid to know that TrumpResign

Trump said Mexico would pay for the wall. He shouldn't be allowed to extort billions of dollars from Americans to pay for it now. TrumpResign

Senate overwhelmingly backs overhaul of criminal justice systemPassage of the bill was a bipartisan victory for President Trump and his son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, who had pushed for the measure. MLK50 Gee, when you do things in a bi-partisan way, things get done. Maybe Republicans should have tried that for the last two years... This should be nothing but celebrated....under normal circumstances. Under current circumstances I cant help but wonder if the same party that fought against felons gaining the right to vote so hard are now only caring about prison because so many of them are on their way there

The Latest: Senate passes sweeping criminal justice overhaulWASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the Senate's consideration of criminal justice legislation (all times local): 8:52 p.m. The Senate has passed a sweeping criminal justice overhaul supported by groups on the left and right, handing President Donald Trump a victory as Congress prepares to adjourn for the holidays. The bill gives judges more discretion when sentencing some drug offenders and boosts prisoner rehabilitation efforts. It also reduces the life sentence for some drug offenders with three convictions, or 'three strikes,' to 25 years. The changes would only apply to federal prisoners. The Senate vote is the culmination of years of negotiations aimed at addressing concerns that the nation's war on drugs has exploded the prison population without helping people prepare for their return to society. The vote in the Senate Tuesday was 87-12. The House is also expected to pass the measure this week, sending it to Trump for his signature. I think it’s a win for the country, no? MAGA He is going to use it to pardon himself! so much maga!
