Something I read recently said most of these idiots have a degree from Facebook University.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

Of course not
The individual I spoke to is an idiot
Doesn't mean all Trumpers are idiots


Then why bring up that he was a Trump supporter. You are profiling, that would be racist for many groups.

It happened
I thought it was kind of funny
A PHD should know better. I'd be surprised to meet a PHD that thought the virus is fake.
On the other hand, sorry , but it does not surprise me that a Trumper thinks the virus is fake.

There is a theory that Schumer may have already screwed up procedurally on Breyer's replacement.
He may not be able to get the Breyer replacement nominee to the floor for confirmation.
Somehow Schumer agreed to split Committee Membership with Cocaine Mitch.
Judiciary Committee is split 11 Dems & 11 Republicans
You need a majority Committee recommendation to get a nominee to the Senate Floor for a Confirmation vote.
Otherwise the Nominee ends up coming to the Floor under a "motion to discharge", not as a Nominee for Confirmation.
Motion to Discharge evidently can't be approved via Nuclear Option.
Schumer needs 60 votes to move the Motion to Discharge forward.
Not sure this is all true, but it would be hilarious if it is.
Again, you cannot overstate how bad the Dems are at this game.

I will bet any of my fellow right leaning friends that a Biden nominee for Supreme Court Justice will be confirmed. As it should be. And if by some procedural technicality the a Republicans block Breyer’s potential replacement, it will come back to bite them. This is 2 years different from Garland, which also was wrong in my opinion. I may be delusional, but I expect the nominee to EXCEED 51 votes. At least two Repubs vote for the nominee.

Do you think the Nominee gets 51 votes if Kamala Harris is the Nominee?
She checks all the important "legal mind" boxes: Black Skin Color & Acceptable Genitalia
How would a potential 50/50 Senate tie for Nominee Harris be broken?
Would she vote for herself as the VP tie breaker?
That would be an interesting situation.
I don't put anything past Cocaine Mitch, he is smarter than the Dems about how the Senate rules work. Always has been.
He'll argue we should wait for the mid-terms and if the Dems get a Senate Majority, they can put through any Nominee they like.
The Country & Democracy will have spoken on the topic.
Breyer is going to serve out this term anyway, we won't be down to 8 Justices for too long by waiting until 2023.
Oh that's right, the Dems are going to get their heads handed to them in the mid-terms.
Looks like The House Plant will have to compromise & put through a centrist Nominee to have a chance at confirmation.
Don't wait too long, we'll be talking about waiting until after 2024 if The House Plant doesn't hurry.
But maybe this isn't correct procedurally, I am taking the Time article and other news sources on the topic at their word.
It is quite funny that the Dems may find themselves outplayed again. Cocaine Mitch is the best!
