We don’t have to be “nice” anymore.
Chuck Schumer. Doesn’t rhyme with miserable sack of sh*t, but it should.
Trump is the voice of the people in the selection of the next scotus justice.
Hes president.
He doesn’t have to “wait” to nominate someone.
The question is, does Mitch have the votes to confirm a nominee????
The GOP is in control by 53 to 47, but Murkowski of Alaska has said she won’t vote on a nominee before the election. So that brings us down to 52. Any other defectors, holding to some principles that we should wait till after the election to deal with this? Collins, McSally, Joni Ernst, Thom Tillis, Mitt Romney?
I hope McConnell wouldn’t have made such a statement if he doesn’t have the committments from enough Republicans to make it happen. Very soon, he will have to put up or shut up.
History Is on the Side of Republicans Filling a Supreme Court Vacancy in 2020

I must say, President Trump doesn’t have a more consequential friend than Mitch McConnell.
If Mitch pulls this off (I think he will) he will go down in history (all he really cares about) as one of the BEST Senate Majority Leaders of all time!
GO MITCH!
So tired of the “Cocaine Mitch” silliness.
Anyway, he’s one of the few Republicans who has actually done anything worth a damn in recent years. Ann Coulter and those like her can go pound sand.
As much as I would like to see Mitch pull it off and send the Left into a nervous breakdown, we have cucks like Romney and Sasse, and the weak sisters Murkowski and Collins who won’t go along. The only D that has a chance to flip is Manchin but all the others are lockstep Orange Man Bad.

Well, that gets Trump off the hook.
Now he can’t be castigated for being so insensitive to RGB’s passing, because no matter how long he waited until he made that decision, they’d call him insensitive.
And a question....
Where’d the *Cocaine Mitch* thing come from?
This was the longest, slow-motion, "sudden passing" of anybody I've ever seen.

Payback is a beotch, Schumer. This is what your party gets for the kavanaugh circus. The American people already had a say in replacing RBG when they elected Senators in 2016 and 2018, just as Mitch says.
No more "hearings."
After the Kavanaugh Sh_t Show, we know what the Left will do. Declare the "hearings" irrelevant, and hold a floor vote on Trump's nominee this week.
And get ready for the next wave of riots, murders, lootings, burning, and mayhem.
“Notorious RBG”
That is the most cringe thing they have ever come out with. So fake, so lame, so try hard. What a joke.
