Thanks again

Sure would be nice if someone like him would stick around and fight.

In an interview he addresses why he's retiring, opposed to staying.

"Indecency of our discourse"... his voting record is as indecent as it gets. And that includes his vote to shred the CFPB's arbitration rule six(!) hours after this speech. Same for Corker. As much as they seem to be aghast at what a dumpster fire the current administration is, they sure don't have mixed emotions about getting in line when it's time to cast a vote.

Real champions of the common folk, these two.

The swamp is draining..

Yes...but what that means to Trump and you is the last bit of clean water is being removed leaving a stinking, feculent basin of ooze and rot inhabited by gators, snakes, and bugs.

This guy is just a cool drink of water, one of the last.

Hilarious that you could possibly disagree with him, that's proof you are anti American and likely Russian, and that's exactly how I'll treat you Dimitri, like just another dumb Putin stooge. Sad. Go eat some borscht you pinko.

Tiny company with ties to the Trump administration receives $300 million contract to restore power to Peurto Rico.

Yeahhh sure the swamp is draining...

Keep on showing your hypocrisy and lack of morals by supporting the biggest liar and scumbag to ever hold office.
