Last Statesman worth a dam was Coburn and we see where that got him. There was also that awkward OK senator who died along with that AK senator. Nothing to see here move along.

After last years veto override on the deficient budget even with an overwhelming Republican Trifecta we have succumbed nonetheless to the communists agenda.
