Hey, Sen. Grassley, you know who else had “bipartisan backing”?

And Sen. McConnell, you know what really set a precedent for “dangerous politicization"?

If you SCOTUS-packing hypocrites weren’t so g-ddamn evil, your pathetic jackassery would be funny.

But it’s not – so STFU.

If there is evidence of that then it would be sufficient cause for terminating a top executive.

Not that much reason is needed considering how Trumpists repeatedly demonstrated that the difference between incompetence and malice can be vanishingly small when it comes to governing; both are destructive.

So, Moscow Mitch is concerned with the politicization of our government agencies, is he? What’s next, the same concern for the federal judiciary? And they say Republicans have no sense of humor.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said on Friday that he would be vehemently opposed to removing Saul.

Two word response to McConnel. They are short words. I am sure he will recognize them.

The money people pay into Social Security is NOT a slush fund for Republican Party donors.

Republicans need to stop robbing from the poor, because, know what…? …with a handful of people earning $2,000 PER SECOND… we’re ALL poor.
