    Let me know when he gets to decide who is "really black" and talks of schools as "racial jungles". Then return with your "outrage".

    Governing isn't a game where we try to maximize our personal gain even if comes at great expense to others.

    Someone is killing the middle class...

    This has been going on for 40 years under Republicans and Democrats. Trump and Obama are no different than the rest of them.

    The flat red line is the weekly wages of full-time employees. People reduced to part-time often make less as do workers with outdated skills.

    I guess "anything goes" for f-ing them over. Pack SCOTUS with Justices who will take away their health care.

    What are you talking about? Because I think Trump is a malignant narcissist who should not be given four more years to kill Americans...

    ... and at the same time wreck the economy, I'm doing "outrage?" The guy has caused such a loss of confidence that polls show only 50% are planning to immunize against the virus, not enough to establish herd immunity.

    Because it's far better than putting a nutball of the lunatic leftist cult on the SCOTUS.

    The entertainment value, and the sound of the hellharpies screeching is how you know you've won.

    McConnell's logic was that a lame duck president should not be able to appoint a justice, but I agree that he also threw Biden out there as political cover. In a political issue one cannot have too many arguments.

    You need to pay attention to what's going on around you, because the FBI and the rest of the Deep State conspired to keep Trump from becoming president. The next time a Democrat """ wins""" the presidency, she'll finish the job of weaponizing the feds.

    Actually, I think he said for a "lame duck". Trump is not that. Obama was.

    What he said was that with an election "looming" (eleven months later) that the American voters should have a voice...

    Of course he has changed that stance since it was never anything but partisan rhetoric

    I'm not completely sure what you mean by "that", but the sad truth is, pretty much no matter what you mean, what we (assuming you mean we the people) think is of little consequence. All we can do is send emails and letters, and in my experience, that does exactly nothing.

    This is actually a done deal, even if Trump loses and the DNC flips the Senate on Nov 3rd they'll still have plenty of time as lame ducks to get the Scotus appointment through,

    The Dems say and do whatever benefits them politically; you take no issue.
    Why do you have an issue with he GOP doing the same thing?

    Takes Republicans in the Senate 2 months to put forth a half hearted attempt at helping the American people by way of Corona relief measures yet they're right on the ball for a nomination. Working class Americans take note..........
