Come on Trad, Mich already told us that the fact that republicans are the ones who are largely responsible for "getting nothing done", is just "partisan mumbo jumbo".TraditionKU wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2019 3:06 pm Democrats in Congress are getting things done.

House Democrats are passing bills at a rapid pace, while Trump complains they’re “getting nothing done.”
House Democrats haven’t been squandering time. In addition to their investigations, they’ve been passing legislation at a rapid clip. In all, the House has taken up 51 bills, resolutions, and suspensions since January — 49 of which they’ve passed. This includes a slate of bills to attempt to end the longest government shutdown in history, the result of a protracted fight between Trump and Congress over border wall funding.
Ironically, over the past two weeks, the House has passed bills to address most of the issues Trump mentioned in his tweet. They recently passed a bill to lower prescription drug prices, and another one to protect preexisting conditions. The House also passed nine bills on veterans issues this week alone, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi noted at her weekly press conference...
...So if the House is passing all these bills, why does it seem like Congress isn’t getting anything done? Welcome to the reality of divided government in Washington. The vast majority of House Democrats’ agenda has hit a dead end in the Republican-controlled Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has dubbed himself the “grim reaper” of Democratic legislation. Pelosi has blasted the Senate leader for embracing this role, saying he’s working for special interests in Washington, rather than the people of the United States.
“The Senate is the graveyard where bills that pass in the Congress, that have bipartisan support in the country, go to die,” Pelosi said at a recent press conference.

"He/she is almost a spy."
Actually, if he is CIA, he IS a spy.
Some might let it percolate around in their minds that doing this kind of stuff in front os spies is not smart. And then there's Trump.

It’s so rare the Senate votes on a bill that Roll Call reporter Niels Lesniewski tweeted an alert when members took up the TRACED Act on Thursday, a bipartisan bill to tack on heavy penalties for robocalls:

This isn't enough to proceed with a successful impeachment.
The question is how deep it goes, and if they can get Giuliani and the WB's sources to testify under oath.
