Moscow Mitch should be careful. Masks were designed for those with a chin.

There are three reasons Moscow Mitch reconvened the senate:
(1) To shove more to unqualified conservative judicial nominees down our throats.
(2) To start shoveling more government handouts to huge corporations.
(3) To provide propaganda to right wingers that want to ignore the medical professionals.

and (4) to make Nancy Pelosi look bad (successfully).
Enjoy the confirmation of John Ratcliffe as permanent DNI.
That position shouldnt be "acting" in this time of crisis. If you decline him, Ric Grenell just gets extended.
Win/win.
Chip Star
And here is that propoganda I mentioned. Conservatives are painfully predictable.
I thought it was your position that she made herself look bad.
No position should be “acting” 3.5 years into an administration. This simply is more evidence of Donny’s incompetence.

yes its terrible when positions arent filled. Its good that the Senate is back in session to continue filling these critical roles before the end of the 1st term.

Agreed, which is why I made my comment.
Donny loses every time:

the previous guy had 68 of these at the end of 4 years. "Donny" still has 6 months to go and is actively filling more tomorrow. (thanks Mitch!)
How incompetent would that make the previous guy to have had 68? Not compared to the Orange dotard, but based on your judging scale? Its not a contest, judge each person against the measurement you set of "no position" compared to 68.
68 is a lot, compared to your standard of zero. kinda incompetent? or a lot incompetent?
Blacklabel
Yet you never mentioned incompetence as being more than Obama had.
You said "zero" is the competence level. 68 is a lot more than zero. As is 170, but not as much when there is 6 months left and some of those positions will be eliminated as unnecessary.
I actually didnt see your Vietnam thing, as it was likely removed as off topic. But congratulations, you showed me (and that idiot Trump by proxy! you owned him too!)
I am sure everyone who died is happy that their deaths directly contributed to you "owning" me on the internet. even though I didnt see it and you had to tell me about it
. I am sure everyone who lost family in Vietnam War is super proud of you as well for using their deaths as a measurement system to talk about other peoples families dying in 2020.
