I mourn the passing of America. Being an old fat white guy with money, it won’t effect me for years, but others are going to suffer and that’s sad. I even see many of them going for Republicans who would love to put them in cages. I sure with the new SCOTUS witch burning and McCarthyism will come back.
My problem with the Republicans is that ½ their lies just aren’t truthful, and the other ½ you just can’t believe. . . Support Minority Rule – vote Red!
What a great photo-op. Moscow Mitch and Traitor Trump to view RPG laying in State as the first woman given that honor. Probably told not to show up by the family, however. . . . ./s
I wanted to write a satire about a Justice dying a couple days before the election, Li’l Donnie nominating whatever person the Federalist Society “advises” him to, Li’l Donnie losing the election in a landslide so obvious that even Mitch can see it, but ramming through the nominee between the election and Biden’s inauguration. Then I thought, why give them ideas?

Moscow Mitch the Rump’s bitch was spouting praise over RBG just before he will take a dump on her legacy.

republicans have NO sense of “honor”, and their memories are highly selective.

At one point Merrick Garland was considered acceptable by Senate Republicans. So renominate Garland.
Problem solved.
