“Per MSNBC just now: Trump said, ‘I need a new Supreme Court Justice so she can throw out Democratic votes.’ Trump has admitted his urgency to replace RPG. He will contest the election and win re-election through a stacked SCOTUS. It is 2000 again.”

“I see some persuasive arguments that ramming a nominee onto the court could actually be politically damaging for the GOP. The thing is, the payoff is so large they’ll probably just say ‘oh well’ and do it anyway. It’s like a team ruining its future roster to win a championship this year. 99.9% of the time they’ll say, sure … This is also a key difference between the overall mentalities of the parties right now. The gop absolutely doesn’t care if they have to trade Susan Collins senate seat for this. This appointee will be there until, what, 2050? No 2020 costs are going to scare them out of it.”

“My four year old said ‘daddy will they replace RBG with a bad person?’ and I said, I’m sorry sweetie but I think so. She said ‘But the Senate runs on unanimous consent, withholding that could be effective as a dilatory tactic.’ Everybody clapped.”
—Gin and Tacos
They have the votes.
That means a Trump court.
Goodbye Affordable Care Act.
“You guys realize that just being a woman is considered a pre-existing condition before the Affordable Care Act .… right? If Trump is successful in overturning the ACA, you do realize he’s taking away woman’s rights to fair and affordable health care … right? Where is his health care plan? Don’t let this administration lie to you any longer! Please vote y’all!!”
—Erin Maher
If the ACA goes down directly because someone you care about and have known all your life voted for Trump then those 20+ million uninsured were part of the plan.
Losing preexisting condition coverage was part of the plan.
“I hate to tell you all this but the trumpers are fanatics! They don’t believe nor care how many crimes he’s committed. They don’t believe nor care how many crimes his cabinet or underlings have committed. They are going to vote for him anyway. Get your act together! You better vote for Biden or else! These trumpers are all about the third Reich! You want to live in Nazi Germany? Don’t vote!!!”
—Martin Anaya
I’m sorry this is how you find out they are a sociopathic bag of shit but that doesn’t change the fact that that is precisely what they are.
Grown adults don’t waste time taking “both sides” morons seriously in 2020. Tell them to go be emotionally needy somewhere else.
ALSO. READ. THIS. THREAD.
I hope the “court my vote or else” crew has a plan for when the next Black migration kicks off as our folks flee the unrelenting racist violence that will be the hallmark of 45’s next term. Does your favorite rapper turned uninformed political commentator have a plan for that?

“My … m- … my conscience”
—the last words sputtering out of every third party voter before the death rattle as they choke to death on their own blood from COVID
At least that’s how it works in my dream.
