McTurtle: We have been Nuclear for a long while.
Trump: Obama was a chicken. I will get everything I want. If not, my supporters will come after you and kill you and your family.
FUCK YOU, YOU IGNORANT PIECE OF SHIT!
(why is TPM making me type more?)
Tell Trump that only presidents that win the popular vote have the mandate to make SCOTUS appointments…
All caps.
Go ahead, skippy. When this country starts crashing and burning, you own it completely.
Price is gonna get started on eliminating the ACA.
Mnuchin will eventually bring back “liar loans” to pump up mortgages.
Does yertle want to lose Dems as his ‘whipping boy’?
“I think there’s a certain dishonesty if they go against their vote from not very long ago and he did get a unanimous endorsement and he’s somebody that should get,” Trump told reporters during a pool spray as he met with Supreme Court advocacy groups.
Garland’s confirmation vote came to floor of the Republican-controlled Senate on March 19, 1997. He was confirmed in a 76–23 vote and received his judicial commission the next day. The majority of Republican senators voted to confirm Garland, including Senators John McCain, Orrin Hatch, Susan Collins, and Jim Inhofe
Senators Mitch McConnell, Chuck Grassley, and Jeff Sessions were among those who voted against Garland. All of the 23 “no” votes came from Republicans, and all were based “on whether there was even a need for an eleventh seat” on the D.C. Circuit.
My thoughts on the ‘nuclear option’ is this: if it happens, the majority will always have to defend their gains.
oh…

Oh, fuck you with a Chinese-made wrench, PeePee. Merrick Garland’s seat does not belong to this Gorsuch guy. Your people denied Garland a vote when they’d also happily supported him prior. Fair play, asshole. Go ahead and nuke the damn filibuster – you guys were going to do it sooner or later anyway. Best to just get it out of the way.
It’s “N-U-C-U-L-A-R” to people of your political leanings, Trump-pee.
Good. We know how much McConnell loves the filibuster, and now he’s being railroaded into sacrificing his child.
Pres. Trump knows ‘go nuclear’ is only a metaphor. Right?
Trump Advises McConnell To ‘Go Nuclear’ If Dems Block SCOTUS Nom
Yeah, right. Which of the words in his 75-word vocabulary did he use for this?
He barely knows what day it is, let alone the rules of the Senate.
President Bannon’s work, no doubt.
Edit. Sorry. I was two words short. He knows 77 words, and one of them is “pussy.”
Go ahead, Turtle man.
Y’all are going to lose the majority quickly and then you will be completely without any tools or weapons of your own so please proceed.
Make the GOP own, with a free and clear title, all of the bullshit that they are creating.
2018 can’t come quick enough.
Maybe in the meanwhile, we could come up with a club to work towards that goal?
Maybe we could call it the Democratic National Committee?
That’s a fact. The best thing to do is not allow them to have anything they can threaten them with, and threatening to nuke the filibuster is the best threat they’ve got. Like you said, they’re going to take it away, anyway. The Dems should tell them to shove it up their ass.

somebody that should get," Trump told reporters during a pool spray as

…
Pool spray?
Is trump holding a press conference in the White House pool?
Gorsuch was elevated to the circuit by a voice vote, not an individual vote. therefore unanimity is in question
AND what the fuck is trump saying in that word salad anyway? Is he on some heavy duty Ambien?
Since this administration is obviously in it’s last couple months in power, the people should have a voice in the next election to decide who the Supreme Court nominee is. Besides we can’t have a 42% nominated justice.
And not only did DJT not win the popular vote, there is a precedent for not considering nominations in the last year of a presidency…
You wanna bet he makes it through a year?
Killing the filibuster is a two edged sword that’ll bite trump in the ass.
