This is Trumpâs payback to Mitch for helping burying Muellerâs report.
Mitch is just using Trump to back the high courts with Conservative to change the laws of the land for the next 40 years.
The moment Trump appoints anyone Mitch doesnât wantâŚthe reports come out and Pence gets sworn in as #46.
Elections have consequences.
I hope that Judge Barrett goes down in history along with other âalmostâ justices. Like Merrick Garland.
Trump is concerned about Collins? He gets dumber by the day.
Make sure the lidâs on nice and tight while youâre saving her because Notorious isnât going anywhere, buddy. She waiting you out, actually. And sheâs a tough old bird.
Thatâs funny, Donald. Because the rest of us are saving up a 400-pound guy in his motherâs basement to replace you. And heâll do a better job and everyone will like him better and his inauguration will have, like, a million people.
Why he and even republican women donât seem to give a shit about having women in office?
We all know what will happen. Trump loses (we all hope) in 2020. The day President Harris/OâRourke/Etc. is sworn in justices Ginsburg and Breyer both resign, effective when their successors are added to the Court.
Iâm sure the real reason that Judge Amy Coney Barrett isnât getting the nod is that she prefers chardonnay to beer.
Not sure even McConnellâs band of buffoons would confirm Jeanine Pirro.
Theyâll confirm whoever Leonard Leo tells them to, or all the oligarch money will dry up and the Republican party will be shoveled into its grave.
Trump isnât picking judges, The Federalist Society is handing him a list. Mitch doesnât need trump for judge choices, he and the Federalist Society have been working on this plan for years. Sure, Mitch is using trump to pack the courts and elections do have consequences. Many warned of this all through 2016, but not enough listened. Purity and all that.
This is the one issue that got the mountain of fat elected. Iâm sure if it werenât for supreme court packing, by corrupt father in law wouldnât have voted for him, as an example.
And who is this âJudgeâ?
Itâs Jeanine Pirro.
After all, Trump only picks that absolute WORST people he can find on FOX News.
Youâre assuming Democrats take the Senate, which is going to be an uphill battle. Assuming McConnell is still Senate Majority Leader, heâll hold those SCOTUS seats open till hell freezes over.
Yertle the Turtle would try to obstruct filling the seats if he is majority leader. The question is whether he would win re-election and still be majority leader. I hope Kentucky voters wake up and end his disgraceful career and Democrats win the Senate majority.
âSavingâ? People now are objects to trump?
âOn the back burnerâ⌠And when has he learned anything about cooking?
Let this be a reminder to folks: vote Dem. Trump trolls us because we blew it on 11/8/2016. If youâre still engaged in a discussion of why people didnât vote for HRC or what HRC did âwrongâ, youâre doing it wrong. Voters are the last line of defense in this country. The Supreme Court was on the ballot. I donât care if the nominee of the Democratic Party is not your cup of tea. If you donât vote for him/her, youâre getting Amy Coney Barrett and others worse than her.
In the prior congress there were only 51 GOP senators. Take away Collins and Murkowski and there are only 49 votes left, so Amy Coney Barrett would have lost. Now there are 53 Republicans, so the two âwomenâ cannot on their own block her confirmation.
Trump would like to have Barrett replace Ginsberg. If that does not happen, expect Thomas to retire after the 2020 election (if Trump loses) and she will get his seat.
This is from @mattinpa and my reply from a thread yesterday:

It may have been the case that Trump would occasionally
take good advice and zip it for 48 hours or so back in the early days,
but heâs pretty much out of control now. I think weâre going to see his
worst impulses on display pretty consistently from here on out.

Yeah, he's been saving them up.
And I thought I was teasing matt!
