Leading conservatives in advocacy and media immediately ramped up the pressure Friday night on Republican senators to support an immediate vote on a GOP replacement for deceased Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Of course theyâll ram some asshole thru, I expect that.
Donât get mad, get even.
Be nice to see more of this, but of course McConnell and Chump will throw everything they have behind this, showing the country they could care less about the pandemic or âThe Countryâ
I donât remember the country recoiling at horrendous power plays from Rs before. Maybe this time they will.
Fuck all the Republicans and their motherfucking media apologists and enablersâŚ
Just fuck 'em.
Actually, they should fuck themselves âŚ
And die.
My sentiments exactly.
The Dems need to scream loud and often about the McConnell rule to remind folks these fuckers wonât play fair.
Shame them.
Good idea.

So far the following GOP Senators have pledged that they will not consider a Supreme Court appointment until after the next inauguration. Susan Collins Chuck Grassley Lisa Murkowski
Concern for the âunbornâ? I can think of a number of Repubs I wish were unborn.
The McConnell rule applies when the Senate and White House are controlled by different parties
This makes zero sense if one pretends that the âruleâ is supposed to be consistent. If the pretense is that the next president should choose the nominee, as an expression of the will of the people, it doesnât make a difference whether the current president happens to be in the same party as the Senate.
Conservatwitter already saying âMcConnell Ruleâ doesnât apply when Senate and WH are of the same party. This backfires.
Making up the rules as they go in order to cover their asses.
Iâm going out on a limb with this prediction, that Trump and the Râs wonât move to fill the seat until after the election. Theyâll ram it through during the lame duck, regardless of the outcome.
Hume isnât a senator, but these guys are
Cornyn, Ernst and Tillis are likely yes votes, so Graham is the key.
If its all 4, then eff it; in this country, money equals speech and my donations will go to their challengers.
Theyâll do it now and taunt the Democrats while doing it.
Joni Ernst is behind. An anti-abortion vote will insure her loss. I doubt she knows that, so yeah, sheâll be with Mitch, who also controls her campaign money.
$10?
You can always count on Repugnicants to play Calvinball. Their entire platform, if not philosophy of life, is based on rationalization of the unthinkable in the name of not having to think.
Itâs like they donât even remember the midterms.
Plays well with their base, but wonât make one bit of difference to the people who already know Garlandâs name.
