And McConnell! Acquittal, cloture, and vote all in the same day!

Trump and McConnell probably engineered that. Nothing like a sharp stick in the eye.

Waiting impatiently for the supreme appointment. I trust it’s been thoroughly vetted and is a really good one. also that McConnell has a much improved and much shorter confirmation process ready to roll. Giving Feinstein another opportunity to Smear smear smear a nominee must be prevented imho. I bet it’s all arranged and ready to roll!

We’re all waiting for the Supreme appointment. But Ginsburg is a tough old bird.

I have a conspiracy theory about that. RBG is soon to announce she cannot continue, and the entire impeachment drama has been played out with since late last year with a view to the Biden Rule and claims that an impeached president (even an acquitted one) cannot nominate and see confirmation of a SCOTUS judge in the last year of his term; the voters must decide.

You read it here first. Total confirmation that I'm a conspiracy nut.

When your viscous arch-enemy is on the ground, quickly apply a series of scrotum-splitting kicks to the groin...

Remember, if the scortum isn't split, the kicks don't mean s---...

A batch of district court nominees. OK, I’ll gladly take these but I really want to see the remaining Circuit Court spots filled.

I wouldn’t put it past them to pull something like this. McConnell has already said he would not follow the Biden rule.
