#2 Does Reid know that the gig is about up. You wouldn't want to do this because someday the opposition could get power again and play the same game. That's of course in the manner of 'free elections'. In a system in which such rituals are suspended, you don't have to worry about any opposition doing to you what you do to him in the future.

#3 the Nancy Pelosi of the Senate. A petulant bitch with no morals or ethics

#4 Proc - I think that Reid (spit!) feels that even if the Opposition gets the Senate again, they would never use it - instead working to 'play along' as they always have - so it doesn't matter.

And he is probably right.

#5 Reid isn't known for his even temper or statesman-like approach to governance. The petulant bitch analogy comes much closer to the truth.

#6 The Donks will want to go nuclear and end nomination filibusters until they are the minority party in the Senate (which hopefully will be soon).

#7 So when the rest of the nation forces the Nuclear Waste Depository in Nevada into an operational status Reid will understand that it is just politics going Nuclear?

#8 As per the anti-US Globalist premise of a "MultiPolar World", where the future OWG-NWO that no one voted for nor has been asked to is led by several par Nuclear "Co-Superpowers/
Leaders" at the #1 spot, the White House = USA has to look PCorrect good for when OWG USoAmerika has to unilaterally deliberately surrender circa 1/2 of the Pacific or more to World Co-#1 Rising China while hoping mainstream Amerikans don't het mad or care, + widout anyone [espec Caliphate-happy Nuclear Jihadis] interpreting it as de facto US "weakness".

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!

* DAILY STAR.LB > US [Obama's]FOREIGN POLICY: LOFTY SPEECHES, FEW FEATS.

Proudly Politically-Legally Deniably surrendering like France since 2013.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > WHY DOESN'T THE US PENTAGON TELL US WHO OUR ENEMIES ARE?

Because thats mainly the job of Elected Political Leaders, i.e. POTUS Bammer + GOP-DEM, etal. Capitolcritters.

You know, the "Representative" in
"Representative Democracy" whom in contemporary times believe it means being elected or re-electd to perennially + pervasively hide things from the Amer Voters = Amer People???
