"If McConnell hypocritically rams thru a nominee before the election and Biden wins & Dems take Senate, increase the SCOTUS to 13. And make all 4 new justices progressive. Screw parity. Show the GOP the other side of the “#$!&@ you and #$!&@ fairness” game they’ve been playing"


They would really be forcing the dems hand despite Biden saying he is open to reaching across the aisle.
I would rather see you lose than win myself

Claire McCaskill tweeted something along the lines of Mcconnell won't call a vote because his goal is power or something. Like thirty minutes later Mitch says he will call a floor vote.

Fucking fools these people.

I try. Expecting the worst just leads to misery and depression. Life is too short for that. None of this will matter to us at the end of that short life. Therefore, I remain optimistic.

Obviously this isn't fine though. We just have to make the best of it.

There are a lot of really nice places that aren’t America, despite what a lot of idiots that have never been outside of the tri state area will tell you about this being the best country in the world.

They need 50 votes. The margins are razor thin.

Does the president seem like a guy who plays the odds?

I haven’t looked it up. Is it 50 votes or just as many yays as nays? As in if 4 Rs abstain, is 49-47 still a win for the Rs?

Lindsey Graham needs to come clean immediately, does he still agree with this statement he made in 2018? It's easy to say this shit when the seat isn't open. Call him now, wake his ass up. He needs to tell us if he still believes this.

Seems likely, though I base my opinion on your assertion and having having read one article. (though it also mentions Eid, Grant, Larsen and Thapar as possibilities.) So pretty much a done deal.
