Brazen and wrong-headed. Countervailing power always exists even at the farthest end of the pendulum swing. Indeed, it even exists if you break the pendulum.

The RethugliCON senators commitment to confirm a SCOTUS nominee who has yet to be named is an absolute fraud, a dereliction of duty, and criminal malfeasance of the highest degree. Where is their responsibility to faithfully follow their oath to give advice and consent to a properly presented nomination to the highest court in the land? This is absolutely corrupt, as is everything else relate to Trump and his mob.

Absolutely corrupt and for days he’s been openly telling us just how corrupt he expects it to be by telling us that he’s going there to nail down the election for himself.

The SCOTUS has its marching orders. Let’s see how they like jumping through the hoops Trump gives them to jump through. I think we change out those robes for clown suits.

Because they’re waiting for Louisville to be set on fire.

And with the way the cops are already beating and arresting peaceful protesters in broad daylight, they’re likely to get it.

Yes, since so few schools are actually open, it’s great to quote student/teacher numbers!

Greatest economic recovery in history?

He is talking about the economy and throwing around retail sales stats and other indicators claiming it’s all good. It is a bit at odds with what our financial advisor told us yesterday.
