    Oh, no, many of the things he did. What a nightmare. Won’t anyone consider the plight of the male, pale, and stale. Oh the humanity.

      I mean, this isn’t hypocrisy, he’s acknowledging that there will be consequences for the GOP.

      All I can say is that I hope that the consequences destroy the GOP.

    Isn’t this fucker dead yet? I have a bottle of scotch waiting for this asshole’s demise. Same as Betsy DeVoss and her shitty brother; and the final Koch brother…

      Nah, he’ll never die. You can’t kill a flesh-golem directly, you have to find its master and break the summon.

      He is going to die. When I don’t know. But I heard speculation that he has some kind of skin cancer and degenerative disorders (as exemplified by him just suddenly freezing and needing someone to tap his shoulder to get him to come around).

      But even if he dies before I finish this comment he has already groomed his successor to take place. Despite being in alleged democracy these people have their shit done in a way that their own party will never really change.

    During his speech, Spectrum reports that McConnell called the Walz-Harris ticket “the far left of the Democratic Party.”

    “And by the way, that’s most Democrats today,” McConnell said, according to Spectrum.

    I didn’t realize the Dems were the far left party I’d been asking for. In this country, you can just say whatever and nobody checks. Apologies for multiple main-thread posts.

      I’d rather he stroke out and have to sit drooling all over himself in a puddle of his own shit trapped in his mind and unable to communicate with anyone for a few years. Death is too easy for this asshole.

    Man, that’s the worst nightmare scenario? Fucking weaksauce. They’d still be breathing, instead of, y’know, put up against a wall and shot, like SCOTUS has ruled is perfectly legal now. As always, every word out of his mouth is self-serving bullshit.

    Fun fact, Congress can change the size of the Supreme Court at will for any reason.

    They SHRUNK the court in 1866 from 9 to 7 because they just fucking hated Andrew Johnson THAT MUCH and they wanted to deny him a nomination.

    After Johnson was out, they raised it back up to 9 in 1869, Granting 2, and it stayed that way ever since.

    https://www.history.com/news/supreme-court-justices-number-constitution

    “The Supreme Court had just ruled that paper money was unconstitutional, which would have ‘wreaked havoc’ with the U.S. Treasury, says Marcus. But Grant and Congress quickly confirmed two new justices who reversed the Court’s decision in the earlier case, saving the Republicans from having to undo the nation’s entire system of legal tender.”

        That was a little different, they didn’t actually change the size of the court, they just maintained the vacancy.

        In 1866 they actually went and said “Nah, 7 is good.” Which not only kept Johnson from filling a vacancy, it bounced someone else out.

      Jesus and I thought our court was making the most dumbass decisions. Wierdly gives me hope that the Harris administration can fix a whole bumcha bullshit though.

    By the way, on packing the Supreme Court … you may know this already. It’s unconstitutional.

    Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation.

    If this were true, I’d be tempted to drop everything and volunteer for the Harris campaign.
