The more I find out about her the worse I feel.

Still a little hopeful that having Rethugs in disarray might put a cramp in this poor choice for the SC going through. That would be a brighter than bright spot.

Given that Donnie, Malignia, Hopey, and Mike Lee all tested positive within 24 hours of each other, it’s highly suggestive that they were all infected at the same time. The ACB nomination ceremony seems like a likely culprit. It also occurred five days before the onset of their symptoms, which is right on target for average incubation period.

Maybe she’ll infect Thomas, Kavanaugh, Alito, Gorsuch, and Roberts – next year.

I hope Senator Mike Lee ends up on a ventilator for being such an asshole. Hope he ends up with some life long side affects too, like mental fog.

Mental fog? Too late, he’s had that for a long time.

They use endoscopes in assholes, not ventilators.

Uhm… isn’t he already a Republican

Doubtful that ACB is the spreader, since she sounds to have cleared the virus over the summer. The president of Notre Dame, on the other hand, seems like a prime suspect.

Oh, well, then clearly God and Jesus and all the saints have chosen her to survive to determine the fate of all pregnancies in this country.

Fuck her and the superiority complex she rode in on.

Maybe there won’t be 51 repubs before the election if they lose more than Lee.

There is not a chance in hell McConnell and the GOP won’t change and bend rules to make sure that Lee is able to vote, even if hospitalized and on a ventilator and unreachable by phone or observable by video. Not happening. End. Game.

Jesusfreak McUteruspolice will be a SCOTUS Justice if it is the last thing they do…and it very well fucking might be at this point.

John has what I’d call a mixed record – but is the proverbial “nice guy.”

Incidentally, he also helps lead the Commission on Presidential Debates.

“Superiority complex”?

Yes, what else would you call religious beliefs that mandate the law must incorporate those beliefs such that everyone else must live by them? Egalitarianism?

Sounds familiar. We may have met. I’m not sure.
