    McConnell said "they won't be able to do much about this for a long time to come." Imagine if the libs knew how to play politics.

      You've got to admire that mans commitment to being evil:

      The Senate is on the brink of confirming Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, shifting the balance of the court to the right for a generation to come and delivering President Donald Trump his third SCOTUS justice in four years. Or, as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell put it: "A lot of what we’ve done over the last four years will be undone sooner or later by the next election. They won’t be able to do much about this for a long time to come."

      I mean look at how happy he is with what he's done:

      Theres a man who just loves what he does!, just loves being pure evil.

        I begrudgingly respect how openly committed he is to his ideology's victory above all else. He's the kind of politician the left needs.

    There it is, the rank and file GOP is officially done with Trump, he gave them everything they could ever have wanted.

      3 Supreme Court Justices in 4 years. That's going to be Trump's legacy at the end of the day. Obama had 8 years and all we got was a shitty healthcare mandate out of it.

        Not to mention the hundreds of judges they injected into the appeals courts and district courts or whatever.

          Just goes to show the difference between both parties.

          While liberals are all excited over having Girl Boss Kamala on the cover of Vanity Fair, conservatives have their eyes on the prize with the courts.

          Whether Trump wins re-election or not, he's going to leave behind a huge legacy here with how much he's replaced the courts. Republicans are all set to do some serious damage under a Biden administration that isn't going to even bother trying to change anything.

              Biden has said, and liberals also believe this stupid shit too; that Republicans will "go back to normal" and "come back to their senses" when Trump is gone.

              What. The. Fuck. Seriously. How the fuck were they normal before Trump???? I had a lib on r/politics tell me this months ago and then just ignored me entirely when I pointed out that Trump is merely a symptom here. Before him, you had the Tea Party and a real argument can be made that Trump was the endgame result of the Tea Party. Those fuckers were insane and they spent years wanting Obama impeached over BENGHAZI and before that, it was all about the birth certificate. Those psychopaths called the Lincoln Project whom libs love so much are Tea Party Republicans who are just pissed off that Trump is showing the American people what they really believe in and says the quiet parts out loud.

              Biden is going to do like Obama and try to work with them while they're going to be calling for his impeachment and investigation over his scumbag son and corruption with Russia. There will most likely be other scandals besides Hunter too that they'll focus on. Before Benghazi, Obama had the whole 'Fast and Furious' scandal with his DOJ Eric Holder and setting aside conservative narratives, Holder should've went to prison for that.

              The Dems absolutely don't want to help people. Biden wants to stack his cabinet with fucking Republicans and he has been saying the past two weeks he'll appoint Republicans in an act of bipartisanship. In an event of Dems retaking all three branches and this "blue wave" being true, the first ones they are going to come gunning for is the progressives. I can even see them neglecting races for midterms in hopes that some Republican ousts them in their state races.

        I wonder if that's what drives Trump at this point, just wiping out any sign that Obama was ever president, in that case he still has unfinished business with the ACA.

    We all knew this was happening from the second RBG died, but it's still shitty to see it finalized. Fuck this country. :amerikkka:

      As I've been told on here many times, we need to waste our time trying to radicalize those smug mother fuckers. They aren't even mad at RBG when she had the chance to retire and Obama had picked a successor for her.

      I can't fucking do it. I thought I could but I can't. They were talking about how this proves voting is important. Some kid said he didn't vote in 2016 and feels bad and will vote every election from here on out. They shamed him. I don't think they really understand how we got here or where we're going.

        It's weird that they've picked up the rhetoric to the point that they now are openly realizing it is fascism, where just a few months ago you'd get haranged and accused of being a conspiracy theorist or whatever, but they still some how don't understand the consequences of what that really means and the hell coming up across the horizon.

    Reddit's /r/politics already bashing for people who didn't vote Clinton, maybe they should nominate a better candidate next time 🤔

    Just a few years ago, a bunch of friends were talking about how great it is to know weed will be legal nation-wide in our lifetimes. I rolled my eyes so hard it's a wonder I didn't pull a muscle in my face.

    At this rate, we'll lose abortion in our lifetimes instead.

    What a stupid fucking country
