“We know the wind is going to be in our face. We don’t know whether it’s going to be a Category 3, 4 or 5.”
The GOP lacks imagination.
From NASA:
“The largest and most powerful hurricanes ever recorded on Earth spanned over 1,000 miles across with winds gusting up to around 200 mph. That’s wide enough to stretch across nearly all U.S. states east of Texas. But even that kind of storm is dwarfed by the Great Red Spot, a gigantic storm in Jupiter. There, gigantic means twice as wide as Earth. With tumultuous winds peaking at about 400 mph, the Great Red Spot has been swirling wildly over Jupiter’s skies for the past 150 years…”
McConnell cited the subsequent wave of Trump-nominated judges as a lasting legacy. Recounting a conversation with the White House counsel soon after Trump’s election to Kentucky Today, McConnell said he suggested Trump nominate young judges.
“I said ‘we’ve got a chance to transform the country in a very significant way for the next generation if we can get our act together,’” McConnell said.
I can’t think of anything more perverse than gleefully bragging about manipulating the law and the judicial system in order to maintain white power and generally beat people up.

[/quote]And more perverse than bragging about it, is considering it the pinnacle of your career. “This is what I was sent to do. This is my purpose in life This is my ultimate accomplishment.”
Such a dilemma: Open their mouths to utter a criticism against the moron or go along and let their constituents twist in the wind. I hope the karma hurts.
“I’m hoping we can hold the Senate,” the majority leader added. “And the principal reason for that, even if we were to lose the House and be stymied legislatively, we could still approve appointments, which is a huge part of what we do.”
Mitch desperately searches for a silver lining in a lead mine. It is like listening to a losing football team taking solace in “At least we made the other guy breath hard”.
McConnell said that blocking former President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, from receiving a confirmation hearing following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia was “was the most consequential decision I’ve made in my entire public career.”
Oddly enough, the decision to not vote, or vote third party, will be one of the most consequential decisions 100,000s of thousands of unicorn-loving liberals will have ever have made in their entire lives too.
