So we all know what an embarrassment the Impeachment side show was for this Country. My wife and I actually watched the vote on T.V. thru all of the guilty, not guilty votes. So this leads to my, what the hell happened here.
Right after the impeachment vote happened Mitch McConnell gave a speech and answered questions. When he was done Chuck Schumer did the very same thing and then left. Now mind you this is all on C-Span live. The video feed then goes back to the Senate Chamber with Mitch McConnell taking a seat at a table in front of the raised dais where the committee members would sit and ask questions. Mitch McConnell then asks the Chair that he would like to nominate so and so judge for this part of the Country. You then hear but not see the Chair recognize the nomination then ask for the “yay” votes on the nomination. McConnell says “yay”, there are no other “yays” . The Chair then asks for the “nay” vote, no response, gavel slam judge appointed. Mitch McConnell was the only Senator in the room. This went on for about 10 appointments again, what the hell happened here!!
I usually have my take on whatever I write about but in this case I have two. My take one, I still have not figured out what happened on February 5th. Democrats have been jumping up and down about everything and anything related to Donald Trump being President, the resist crowd!! The Senate Judiciary Committee usually appoints judges, wouldn’t you think some of them would have been there for this? Lets name some names Cory Booker not there, Kamala Harris, not there, Amy Klobuchar, not there and the ranking member Diane Feinstein not present !! These are some of the most outspoken Democrats critical of Donald Trump and three of them I listed were former candidates for President. They, the Democrats all talk of how horrible President Trump is and we must resist him at every turn! Well from my view you aren’t practicing what you preach! Oh wait, someone has coined the phrase, “Do nothing Democrats!”
My second take is , how much do you people work!! Some person from Congress mentioned right before the impeachment ramped up that they may have to work 33 hours a week during the whole process! Oh the horror!! As of 2017 the average salary of a U.S. citizen was roughly $56,000! Cry me a river you might have to work 33 hours a week and make $174,000!! My wife and I usually work about 12 hours a day! Obviously, public servant means nothing to our elected officials.
