McConnell’s New SCOTUS Threat: Maybe We Won’t Confirm Any Justices For 18 Months! | Talking Points Memo

It’s all BS. The real rule for Moscow Mitch is he will obstruct all Biden Administration judicial nominations, including the Supreme Court, if voters are dumb enough to vote in 51 or more GQP senators in the 2022 election. Moscow Mitch has no morality. No ethics. He believes in no rules except power.

Hey Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema — is Moscow Mitch bipartisan enough for you?

God and Karma really need to get their fucking act together.

600,000 dead in the last year, and this particular walking corpse is still around? HOW?

The question remains… if you came upon Mitch McConnell drowning in the Potomac River, at around noon, what would you have for lunch?

Wrong question. The proper question is how much you’ll regret not bringing the Nikon with the 300mm zoom and HD recording capability and having to rely on the much grainier cellphone camera.

Or how would you get the cinder blocks out to him?

Gonna be a fun 2023 and 2024 with the House and Senate under GQP control. 2 years of Biden refusing to sign any of their nonsense will pretty much guarantee they grab up the WH in 2024 as well, especially after he’s impeached.

Makes me wonder what it’s going to look like for us lawyers once there’s pretty much no law anymore but the GQP’s say-so.

Could someone ask Joe Manchin to lend me the pearls he borrowed from Susan Collins? I need to clutch them.

One party rule? That would be Rs…except for Biden and a few reconciliation bills.

The filibuster is a nice, powerful veto tool. Be a shame if anything happened to it.

Why, I’d have turtle soup. Isn’t that obvious?

BLT, light on the mayo.

Answer to that would be a big “Nope.”

Both Manchin & Sinema are listening to their own narratives and thinking it sounds like the words of Abraham Lincoln. If the Dems (and the country, by default) fall, those two sh*theads are coming with us. No consolation, just sayin;.

The reason Mitch is flexing nuts like this is to keep their voters fired up.

It’s as though he were taunting Democrats in general and Manchin in particular.

One wonders if it might shake Manchin out of his mental torpor and get him to reassess his position.

Let’s all be very careful about criticizing Joe Manchin. We don’t want to hurt his fee fees or he might continue doing what he’s already doing.

I don’t know but he is going out of his way to provoke something and I can’t imagine why he wants to do that.

He’s oozing the confidence of someone who looks at the D senators and sees Feinstein, Coons, Schumer, Sinema, Manchin. To cap it all Breyer is on SCOTUS and long term political pacifist Biden is in the White House. Meanwhile he can count on Peloquin and Nadler to avoid oversight at all costs. It is no accident that the rise of GOP fascism coincides with a uniquely supine generation of liberals.
