how important this process is, to getting confirmation, as we saw what happened in 1986. more importantly, i think he took head on a lot of the critics and criticism of decisions that he s made and votes he s cast. and i thought in particular, with cory booker becoming historic, you saw the first sho for the 2020 democratic nomination for president. let s just put that on the table. certainly, that s part of the drama and theater of what he chose to do. but i also found it somewhat ironic that just in january of 2016, in legislation that he co-sponsored with mr. sessions, that celebrated those who walked from walked the selma mile, if you will, that he referred to him as it was a great honor to work with him and that he appreciated his commitment to civil rights. and yet now sees him as he referred to him as a danger
with danger to our country, as he s been quoted to say. the politics is not lost here. i think everyone in this town understands that. and to have this staged the
they continued to talk on twitter. he wrote iran is playing with firement firement. here is what sean spicer today. i think today s action speaks for itself in terms of the sanctions. he made it clear the deal they struck was a bad deal. they going to continue to be tough on iran in a way that was notice done in the last eight years. in the way the associated press notes the new sanctions represent continueuation limited punishment for iran ballistic activity over nuclear deal itself. it was drawn up before obama
left office. the new president sounds a lot like the last one. according to the times this is a quote, barack obama embracing key pillars including warning israel to curve settlement in the west bank and threatening sanctions for ballistic tests. i m glad we have heavy weights because i m nervous. we have had a number of presidency destroyed about that issue. whether iran contraon hostage why is he pushing them on this
ballistic tests? their words are bigger a
he is a heck no on trump care. i m a heck no on this. i think they ve got problems with the vote. i ve personally spoken to 29 of my conservative colleagues who are no on this as of today and we re not even counting the moderate republicans who are a no. i think they ve got a lot of arm twisting to do between now and thursday if they re going to pass this bill in the house. does he sound scared to you? because congressman massey was in the room today when donald trump came to the house of representatives to urge republicans to vote for the bill. here is how congressman massey describes tough guy donald trump. threatening and pushing around all those republicans who oppose the bill. he was very charming. there was some light-hearted jabs at his opponents in the room but it was all in good fun. light-hearted jabs. that ought to do it. that s what tough guy trump is delivering to republican opponents of his bill. thomas massey doesn t claim to
be a tough guy the way donald trum
president trump just got a blistering salvo from another republican senator, arizona s jeff flake, who slammed the president on the senate floor while announcing he won t run for re-election in 2018. flake, a trump critic who has been attacked repeatedly by the president, said reckless, outrageous and undignified behavior from the top of our government is dangerous to a democracy. he accused the president of the united states of undermining america s norms and values. and that came after the president went to capitol hill to talk tax reform with senate republicans over lunch. but there may have been cases of indigestion as the meal was proceeded today by a breathtaking war of words between the president and senator bob corker, who will also not run again in 2018. after corker urged the white house to leave tax reform to the professionals, the president lashed out on twitter, claiming falsely that corker helped president obama with the iran
