When Trump is gone, I want tribunals for McConnell, Scalise, Nunes, Paul, McCarthy, and the rest of the #TreasonCaucus.

Absolutely. It’s what these ghouls have been waiting for. It’s the entire reason they hold office.

There are several republicans in tight elections. We’ll see if they go along with it before the election.

If and when the Democrats retake the Senate: 1. Abolish the filibuster, which has been abused by republicans to the point of making governing impossible, and 2. Expand the Supreme Court. Ram this down their fucking throats.

God damned hypocritical bastard.

Any Dems we can donate to for Senate runs? Ones that have chances? I say Gideon (ME), Harrison (SC), Kelly (AZ)…who else is close?

Did we expect anything else? Doesn’t mean they’ll vote to confirm.

Fine, go ahead. And Biden, with a Dem Senate majority adds 4 seats.

Exactly the right thing to do. Donate to the opponents of Graham, Gardner, Collins, Ernst, Daines and McConnell, and more if you can afford it.

Mitt, find some friends in the Senate. They may be the proverbial dogs (if you want a friend in D.C.), but do your best to bring them to reason.

The Constitution doesn’t specify the number of Supreme Court justices. Thirteen is a lucky number.

When the Dems retake the Senate I say impeach all of Trump’s court picks. Scorched earth. Obama should have buried these fuckers instead of trying work with them. Now look where we are.

Rich. In reality, a minority of American elected his majority of Senators.

I seriously doubt this evil fuck can hold together his caucus to do this in the next 45 days. In the lame duck, however, it’s game on.

He’s clearly saying this to fire up the MAGAs. Thing is, they were already as on fire as they could be. What it will do is finally at long last, get some Dem fence sitters from 2016 who didn’t like Hillary’s pant suits to remove their thumbs from their butts and remember the importance of voting.
