They picked Biden because he was the only one with the name
recognition to stand a chance against Trump and Trump was hated by 40%
of the electorate before the campaign even started.


Nearly 230,000 dead, 9 million infected, the number of new cases is on
the rise, and your boy Trump is ****ed and at his megaspreader rallies
calls out with a sneer, "covid, covid, covid, covid," and you are
wondering why Biden seems to be winning?

If either candidate is on the road to dementia, it is Trump, and most
Americans are tired of that pig.

I don't particularly like the way Trump presents but at least we know where
he stands.
Biden, not so much.
Could covid covid be the new Benghazi Benghazi.

I suspect if Biden does win, the next 4 yours will be the hunt for
Hunter, what did Joe know and when did he know it. His only
impeachment insurance is Harris.


I suspect with the Dems controlling the House and Senate, no Repubs in
the federal congress will have the ability to do much about anything.
I'm hoping if it happens, Chuck will say to Mitch, "**** you," as the
Senate begins its one hour of deliberations on President Biden's first
four nominees to the Supreme Court. Oh, and I doubt Biden can be
impeached for acts the Repubs want to claim he engaged in a previous
administration or while he held no federal office.

They still need to change the law that sets the size of the SCOTUS and
that could be filibustered to death. You actually might even find the
Dems don't have the votes for a up down vote. This is a precedent that
could make the SCOTUS become a joke with any majority that is not
happy with the balance just packs in a few more justices.
That was what FDR ran up against when he had a lock on congress. I
don't think it ever even got out of the judiciary committee.


A Dem majority in the Senate could create a new Senate precedent by
invoking the nuclear option that requires approval of only a simple
majority of senators.

A senator could rise to raise a point of order and if the presiding
officer agrees, the ruling on that order creates a new precedent.

The size of the court is not set by the Constitution.

****ing McConnell...it would be worth it.

You just have to be careful what you wish for. It was Harry Reid who
changed the rules about confirming SCOTUS nominees and they reaped
that whirlwind last weekend.

It would be funny as hell if, when Trump wins and the Republicans retain the Senate, they increase the size of the court and install 4 more conservative judges. After all, the Dims opened that door, eh?
