For freedom loving Americans we abide by and cherish The Constitution. To the communist supporting Democrats it’s The CONstitution, and they ignore it and treat it like toilet paper. The Democrats want a totalitarian state where the federal government is master and ruler over the American people. It should be crystal clear to everyone now.

The Republicans should be running campaign ads quoting the extreme threats Democrats are making.

We should all write letters of thanks to Harry Reid, who singlehandedly put the POTUS in the position to change the face of the SCOTUS for a couple of generations. This will be Trumps historical legacy above anything else he has done or will do.

All the talk about Biden even having a chance to win in November will evaporate when he falls flat in the first debate.

Trump has a way of flustering his opponents into unbridled hostility.

Getting Slow Joe to lose it will be childsplay.

Yet CBS This Morning is lying (again) saying Trump will not leave office. It’s odd that so called journalists have no listening or reading comprehension. I watched the WH presser last night, h said nothing even close to what these Leftist lying bastards are saying.

Do the RATs know that that door swings both ways? I want Trump to announce on Saturday that he’s nominating THREE judges for confirmation. See heads explode!

What’s their calculation? That they need to offer it as hope so their side will still get out to vote?

And if Trump successfully appoints her replacement before the election, that specific reason for voting will does indeed vanish.

This is the rather lame thinking of someone from inside the beltway. Specific reasons, however so little or large, are overwhelmed by 50+ years of leftist ruining American. We can't distill elections to one event or lack there of. The specific reason cited by Lott will reoccur. Too many so-called conservatives lack expectations for on-going achievement. They lack the testicular fortitude to win, claim their spoils and continue to win again.

I think we SHOULD get rid of the filibuster - and replace it with a requirement for a 60% supermajority to pass ALL legislation in the Senate.
Yeah, nothing would get out of the Senate. Is that really a bad thing?
Appointments would still only require a majority.

I thought the filibuster was already a “dead letter” rule in the US Senate. Expanding the Supreme Court to 13, or 15, or whatever, only further dilutes the value of a minority dissent (which may have been the overall intent).

Once the dust has settled on this election, and in the event the Senate Republicans retain their majority and Donald Trump is retained as President, then the expansion of the Supreme Court may be offered magnanimously for the consideration of the Democrat minority.

In those circumstances they would vote to reject it unanimously.

“that would definitely be impeachable”

Yeah. He shouldn’t do it seriously — just another trolling tool to aggravate the RATs. He’s good at that.

Like saying he needs an extra four years to make up for not being able to do his job the first four.

Biden promises that on his first day in office, he will present legislation that would give citizenship to all of the estimated over 22 million undocumented immigrants ILLEGAL ALIENS in the country.

Dammit, get it right. Oh, and my guess is at least 30,000,000.
